OOOPSIE DAISY

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday .. .. I am not going to mention the weather :-(

As I have been having quite a few requests for belated birthday cards recently I decided that one of the new downloads from Digistamp Boutique would be a good investment whilst it was on offer.

I took my paper, image and sentiment into my Serif Craft Artist programme and came up with this:

This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique "Blooming Lovely Set"
Backing Paper:  Digistamp Boutique "Ditsy Rose Papers"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Button Twine
My Trust Sewing Machine

I used the Serif programme to add a little shadow behind the image (perhaps a little too much) but I think it makes the image look like it is popping nicely off the striped background.

So that is me for today.

Just remembered I can pop this into the Digistamp Boutique Challenge for February .. .. so that is my next port of call!

Supper time now!

Catch you soon.

Love

THE LAST LATE ONE

Hi Everyone

Well my title is "the last late one" .. .. but that only means my last "belated card" for a while .. .. not the last late post I will every make!  That would be asking far too much. LOL!!!

A big mixture of weather today .. .. but it was lovely enough this morning to dry washing outside. It smells gorgeous!!

But round to my share for the day:

This used:

Image:  Messy Rabbit "Butterfly MR132" (he gets used for so many different occasions and I lurve him!!)
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat (no longer available)
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat but some have disappeared though in the boutique clearout  :-(  
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers and chalk
Diamond Stickles

and that is me for .. .. short and sweet for a change!

I'll catch you again tomorrow with my snippet makes.

Love

SENTIMENTS

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday!!

I hope your day has gone well .. .. though if you live down South there is a chance it might not have done :-(

I spent quite a bit of the afternoon with my Mum today catching up with the world.  I was sticking wedding wallets together .. whilst Mum was busy playing her DS (not bad for an 83 year old!!) .. .. but with her also playing the news on the TV .. .. on a loop.  I dread to think how many times I was aware of the same stories playing over and over and over!!!!  Talk about "groundhog day" LOL!!

Anyway, sorry about the no show yesterday.  The day just ran away with me and then I decided I had better spend a bit of time with Mr Heart .. .. just so he could remember who I am and what I look like!

That will teach him to buy me a lovely new craft lamp to put in my room .. .. I can see colours to work much better even when it gets dark now.  

So with not appearing here on my blog yesterday I thought this card would be fun:

This used: 

Image:  Penny Black "3831H" Sentiments

Sentiment:  Computer Generated

Backing Papers:  Fancy Pants "Swagger"

Woodware Punches:  Label

Nestabilities:  Square and Scalloped Square

Josy Rose:  Nail Heads

ProMarkers

Diamond Stickles

Eyelet and Twine from my Stash Box

What makes you think I have been asked for a few belated birthday cards LOL!!!

So tonight has seen another wedding come to an end.  Table plan, table names and place-names have been collected and finished my journey with another "happy couple".  But not just the couple because with this wedding I have also got quite close to the Bride's Mum and even met her Dad too.  How lovely!

You may remember me mentioning this bride last year after our first meeting  .. .. she will be getting married next Friday .. .. on Valentine's Day.  Super romantic.

That means the emptying out of their work boxes ready for someone else to take ownership of them .. .. and that could be as soon as tomorrow as I have another "happy couple" wanting to meet up and discuss their wedding in the afternoon. It is really weird how as one wedding finishes another always seems to start.

Anyway, it is Friday evening and the weekend is ahead .. .. which means a fish and chip supper cooked by the lovely Mr Heart!

Are fish and chips classed as romantic if I have to have those next Friday for Valentine's Day?  Answers on a postcard please. LOL!!

Have a lovely evening and weekend.

Love

JUMP FOR JOY

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!

Hopefully your day has been good .. .. though looking at the news and all the floods and water damage some people are having an awful time of it at the moment :-(

Again tonight is a quick post to share another card I made last week whilst Mr Heart was away.  What makes you think I had my Penny Black drawer open for most of the week LOL!!!

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3702J" Jump for Joy!
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat (sorry I think they disappeared in Liz's clearout)
Go Kreate Die:  Large Frame Scalloped Squares
X-Cut Punch:  Small Flower
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Pearls

and that is it.

Another late show from the House of Hearts!!

It feels quite good to have a stack of pictures just ready for posting .. .. hope they don't run out too quickly!!

Love

OOOPS!! I FORGOT

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good day.

Mine started off with frost and mist but by lunchtime we had lovely sunshine.

The day has been spent cutting hundreds of strips of ribbon to length and hundreds of pieces of card to size ready for a mammoth printing and construction session tomorrow.  Which in turns also means I have produced a rather large mountain of cream card snippets!!  

There are always lots of white on white cards in blogland .. .. I think I need to start a craze for cream on cream LOL!!

Anyway after all that cutting and preparation work I just had to have a little colouring fix with my ProMarkers and this is what satisfied my need for a little general crafting .. .. 

This used:

Image:  Joanna Sheen Messy Rabbit "MR132" Butterfly
Sentiment:  Computer generated using font "Zipty Do"
Backing Papers:  Nitwits "Affection Too"
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Eyelets
ProMarkers and Chalk
Glamour Dust
Ribbon 

I don't need an "oops!! I forgot card" .. .. .. but somebody might want one one day .. .. ..  and that little rabbit does look a tad worried as though he might have forgotten something LOL!!

I am also entering this little creation in the Sketch Saturday Challenge this week and this is the lovely sketch that has been provided .. .. just in case you fancy playing along.

I'll catch you again tomorrow .. .. have a lovely evening.

Love
