Happy Birthday

Circle ATCs and Birthday

  Well I am feeling more like myself and only the odd twinge if I overdo it thankfully. I have even made a couple of ATCs using  Tracy Evans Bubble background stamp and sentiment, stencils from Creative Expressions, one from a new pack Helen bought off Amazon, and focal stamps from Carabelle and a freebie one from Creative Stamping mag, DI round the edges. It's also my birthday today (76!!!) thank you for the beautiful cards received.

Favourite Technique

 Morning and we have a new "Favourite Technique" challenge at Sparkles Forum chosen by Pamela. My favourite is making fun folds and of course stamping. My  all time favourite card fold is the  diamond point card. I used papers and die-cut from Crafters Companion. The Rose stamp is from Honey Doo with details added with Faber Castell pencils, the background stamp using DI is Bubbles from Tracy Evans.

Flowers Everywhere

Morning and time for our new ATG/Anything related to a song challenge at A Place to Start.  I chose my favourite song from the 60's-San Francisco(Be sure to wear flowers in your hair) by Scott Mckenzie. I originally saw this card fold on Liz's blog here, and figured out to make it by gluing two 5"x7" cards together and adding a centre flap. Papers from Crafters Companion and sentiment from Pickled Pear, die-cut for panel from Penny Black.

GDT Card For Girlz and the Art of Letters

Morning and first of all would like to thank you all for the get well messages and beautiful card Hilary, really appreciated them all.  Have given myself a good talking too and as movement is easier have made myself stop mopeing about as it does no good to wallow. Luckily the card for today and Monday had already been made. The card for today is for a GDT spot at ---

Girlz and the Art of Letters challenge -bit of a confusion as I given originally which is "C" For---Clocks and Circles so card was already made-but the challenge is I For-- and as I used distress inks we will go with that I for inks. The image is from the Woodware set which came free with Creative Stamping and coloured with promarkers and distress ink, backing paper was among a selection that came free with my journal.

Another Setback

 Just to let you all know I had quite a dramatic fall over the back step and crashed full onto the door jomb with my side, have quite a spectacular bruise and paramedics -after a 4 hour wait for ambulance! think I may have cracked a couple of ribs but as hospital inundated -it was a case of nearest walk -in which was a no no the state I was in - so its a case of bed rest and painkillers-can only sit for a short while to have something to eat then I have to go back to bed for comfort-so will catch up with you all when able.

Thank you for dropping by.

Peeping Cats and New Addition

Morning and time for the new Animals challenge chosen by Samantha at Sparkles Monthly.  I jumped in and stamped and clear embossed the film strip stamp from Chocolate Baroque, then added the die-cut cats heads-bought from a decluttering site and no name on the pkt. I stamped Mooch a Lavinia stamp I was sent by a blogging friend a few years ago and think I have only used once! The little bird was a Woodware stamp from the Creative Stamping freebie set-then it struck me I should have made a background first!!! I added some washi tape-had that a couple of years too and unused, a border  stamp from Crafters Companion-not used that for quite a while too, a little script added with an old craft mag freebie stamp-but still not sure.
