CARD MAKING

Not done much crafting for ages but I have kept up to date with my Xmas card schedule. There are so many jobs to do during the - ahem - summer months that time is precious especially as there are trips away to put in the mix too. 

So after the usual shopping trip in the summer rain!!! I set to and made 2 Xmas cards bringing my total to 15 so far.

Distress stain background on the little card over stamped in black archival. I just adore distress colours in all their forms.

Right, off to make tea now.

ATCs WITH ATTITUDE # 40 - FRAME IT

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the last challenge and entered an ATC and a special congratulations to the winner. Don't forget to claim your banners and prize.
This fortnight's challenge is sponsored by
SASSY STUDIO DESIGNS

Sassy is offering 4 digis to the winner
Our Design Team had the choice of 1 of 3 images to work with for our theme - Frame It - I chose Sassy Showgirl:

I re-sized the image to fit the ATC base card and coloured her with Copics. I made a wash of distress ink and forever violet Perfect Pearls spray and roughly painted the background around the image. It may not look like it, but the feathers I used to make the frame are purple and a greeny yellow, they appear to be more blue in the photo. I have to admit to sourcing the feathers to make a frame before I began colouring the image and I used a colour wheel in order to try and use complimentary colours. That was fun.
Please have a go and join us for this challenge. The DT are looking forward to seeing your ATCs.

WOYWW #206

Another week another woyww another empty desk for me - sorry Julia.

My Internet has been down almost reducing me to tears because I have succumbed to the 'techy' life. Couldn't email or even do any banking  - this is really not good. Things have to be better than this. So much for technology eh?

Anyway, I have to give praise and say a massive thanks to our computer guru - Dave - who talked me through the maze of jargon and got my router to behave again. 

Nothing to show you inside so here's a bit of the outdoors instead. 

Anyone for sunshine, come to the north west.......

DON'T DO IT

Don't buy a wireless printer.
I bought a new one last Sunday and completely wrecked my internet connection. Not only did it knock out my laptop, but it wrecked my mobile phone, hubby's laptop, i-phone and i-pad. What a mess.
BUT
Dave the computer whiz to the rescue tonight and all is restored.

THANK YOU

DAVE

OUR 24th ANNIVERSARY

Apart from hubby's birthday last Friday, it was also our wedding anniversary.

I just wanted to share this beautiful card we received from my pal Sylvia. I love the colours and Sylvia makes everything she does so neatly.
