Sad News

Sadly we have had some bad news Friday.......I wont go in to details, but Steve's eldest step daughter asked me to make a card to give to her gran who is very unwell. I had already done the watercolouring for this card so it was just a matter of putting it together.......

Thanks for stopping by to look around my blog....hope you enjoyed it.

Fathers Day..........in Australia!!

As the title suggests.....it is coming up to Fathers Day in Australia! Now before I got back into crafting and card making, I would have to buy an card in June here in the UK and then save it to send on to Dad in September......now of course I can just make him one!

Some of us find it difficult to make masculine cards and I am no exception!! I thought I would keep it very simple.....my Dad is a sailor and we have always lived near the sea so this card is very appropriate for him.

And he always wears a funny little hat when he goes sailing!! They are arriving here with us on Tuesday 8 September (2 days after Fathers Day......a little saving on the postage, although a little late getting it to him!!).

Well it has been a lovely weekend in our neck of the woods, hope it has been the same where ever you are!! And to top it off its a long weekend......good thing really as I need to blitz the house before Dad arrives, they are not staying with us (we just dont have the room) but still want the house to look nice.

Thanks for stopping by and looking through my blog....hope you enjoy what you see!!

Cricut confusion.....

I made a bit of an impulse buy a couple of weeks ago and my Steve is really no help what so ever when it comes to these sort of things..........he just says 'you want it, we'll buy it'!!! So then my new Cricut machine arrived and we have had to change the front room around and buy a set of drawers just so there is room for the Cricut!!! I will just briefly explain that we live in a tiny little house and I have but a small corner in the front room for my crafting..............see!!

It is extremely difficult to keep it tidy and try and ensure that it does not take over the rest of the room!! Anyway on to a card.....so I made this card for my brother in law who's birthday was a couple of weeks ago now but this was the first thing I made with my cricut.....it is only his name but it was something!! I am finding it difficult to get my head round how to use the cricut but it is also difficult because as you can see in the above photo there is no room to really use it to its full potential........we soooooo need to move!!

So here is the card...............

I have also been practicing using my watercolours so I gave this card a bit of a background wash to it to try and make it look like the truck was on grass with the sky behind it.

Well, thanks for stopping by to look at my blog, hope you liked it.

No projects...

Afternoon all........

I know it has been a little while since I posted any cards or projects...I have actually made quite a few cards to sell to a friend of mine who then sells them in her shop but with the weather being so bad lately I have not been able to take any pictures, no decent lighting in my house so I have to rely on the sunshine outside!!!

I did manage to get a shot of this card before the bad weather set in and before I sent it to my Mum in Australia, she had some sad news recently so the timing was perfect......

Such a perfect sentiment.....my Mum really is 'one of a kind'.......she is one amazing lady!!

I recently sent her a box full of goodies and due to the postage I paid it should have got to her in about 10-12 days.....someone at Royal Mail made a mistake and sent in economy so it wont get to her until the end of September......I sent it on 29 June!!!! Mum I am soooooooooo sorry it is going to take forever to get to you, I will make it up to you some how! xxx

Well, thanks for stopping by, hope you all have a great weekend!

Stay safe
