Sad News

Graphicus is closing it's doors, I'm so sad for Glenda and all the team. They have been an inspiration over the years. I wish them all the best and hope that they can return to the crafting world soon.

Happy Today, Oh Yeah:0)

Okay, it's a happy day today, hope that you are having one too, 

I made a card..................

I had lots of inky fun making this, it has so many different techniques I've gone back to my roots. I think it was probably 3 or 4years ago when Tim Holtz was over here at the Craft Barn I was so lucky, he had a workshop and demoed for about and hour. I was very impressed by his style and have loved grunge ever since, I'm pretty messy too so it's lots of fun and I can let my hair down:0)








The  postman delivered today, he looked so cold, I felt really sorry for him:{ 
It was my order of some recycled cards, love the colour and texture, good thing too there are 50 of them in the pack.

Tim Holtz, tissue tape, hobgoblin

Grunge board Numbers. The back ground is the ATC sized Christmas Carols  stamp and Seasonal salvage stickers





Hubby said to me after I'd finished
 '"Why aren't all our Christmas cards like that?"
he hadn't noticed that I'd spent the majority of the afternoon up to my elbows in ink and embossing powder and grumbling at the wet tissue tape when it wouldn't stick:0)

Sad today, everybody say ahh!

Hi , hello it's a sad MC that greets you from coffee headquarters today, my son moved out, ahh, feeling sad. He is getting on with his life it's a great move for him but I'm sad, I know silly old fool aren't I  :0)

I have 2 cards to share today, first for my Sister's birthday, she still hasn't got it I'm afraid I will get it off to her tomorrow when the post office opens. We haven't had any post since Tuesday last week.

 

The little fairy is from the Pure innocence range at Simon says Stamp and the tree was a freebie from A Day for Daisies

I used a punch around the page MS punch and coloured with copics.

 My next card is my son's Happy new home card, tried not to be too girly on this one. Tim Holtz tissue tape and inked with alcohol inks and his Houses Die. Marianne die for the stars.

Hope the deep snow has gone from your vicinity and that it doesn't get as cold as they are predicting. Have a wonderful week everyone, I'm off for another sulk. TTFN :0)

Ice Ice Baby, Oh yeah!!

Just a few chilly pics to give a little idea what life's like in this neck of the woods, cool huh? I'm sure you have something similar where you are, can you show me? I'd love to see your pictures:0)

 This I took at 6am today, my poor hedge is collapsing, there is a pond around there somewhere, with fish in.

At 3pm I found these outside the window, pretty I thought.

Oh!  It's darn cold tonight. 

I've made a card but cannot post it here because it's for my Sis and should be on it's way to the lovely warm country down under. My trip to the Post Office to post it was a waste of time, closed for the day as was the bank. I managed to get a newspaper though, those chaps seem to get through no matter what, a very good example.

I hope to make a few Christmas cards later.

Wrap up warm and stay cosy:0) xx
