card for Carol

Well Carol had another birthday so it gave me the push I needed to go and take the crafting stuff out of it's cupboard and then a few days later Aud was another year older so everything was put to good use.

Carol's card was a Funky Kit download, think this one is Connie, coloured in with promarkers, Martha Stewart edge punch used for border.


Aud's card was a Kanban stamp, not much image to actually colour in so struggled with the shading.

Golfer in a twist

Up bright and early today and the sun is shining.   DH on holiday and we have the g children all day so we have to wait and see where they want to go and then we will pack up the car for a little trip.  No doubt the toy shop will have to be in the horizon.    We were looking for conkers with them yesterday, playing shoppies and oh lots of other things that they like doing. The 4 year old phoned me on Friday night to see what I was doing but when I asked her what she was doing she said"talking to you granny"   Guess who felt a numptie!

Well this card is a Kenny K download which I thought was suitable for an avid golfer.  Coloured in with promarkers and paper used from my stash.

Baby boom

Gosh just realised that I have not been on here since August, where has the time gone?   Well have been busy getting the house back in order after son caused major havoc by changing doors, skirtings and what have you.   More or less back to normal - it has been worth it.

Have had a few baby cards to make recently so thought I would put them on here for a starter.

Little shopaholic

Hasn't it been nice having a bit warmer day after all that rain?   Pity I had so much to do inside that I didn't get a chance to enjoy it.   Have managed to find my dining room table to do some crafting today and this is the end product.

This card is for a friend's grand-daughter, who looks forward to getting a hand made card and is always most concerned that I do not add my name on the back of the card!

Off to the Edinburgh Tattoo on Wednesday with our Over 50 Club, staying overnight and then a wee shop Thursday morning before heading home.          

Diva Friend

Gosh where has the time gone, not been posting for a while nor yet carding. Still living in a mess - although things are beginning to take shape - painters in doing all the staining - so am confined to the back room today.  Upstairs toilet almost finished but joiner is on holiday for two weeks.  We still have to nail up a big blanket on our bedroom at night to save the neighbours seeing into our room!  Husband not too fussy about  how he wanders about so don't want them to get a laugh especially as one of the neighbours is recovering from a heart attack.  Had a lovely day out with Carol and Aud on Monday and we paid a visit to Crathes to see the lovely Anne.  Had a great day.

Now the card, this was a very last minute card-

The blue spotted paper was in my stash  - cut with a Fiskars all round punch.

Surprise surprise

No cards made this weekend at all, still in a muddle and don't know where we are going to sleep tonight.  Had to empty a wardrobe and pile the contents on the top of our bed and the other room is in total chaos.   Anyone got a tent for hire?

Well the one exciting thing this weekend was my grand-daughter had her prom dance at the weekend in Aberdeen - what is exciting about that do I hear?  Well this girl has never worn a dress since she was 3 years old and here she is all dressed up with her three friends (she is the one with the red hair!!!!!!) I see her dog had to get  in on the act too.  Made her dad feel very old.

Golden wedding

This is another card I made this weekend, it started off as an easel card and somehow or other got black marks over the back of the card - had no more of the same and it was too big to put on to a A4 card  so this is what I finished off with. Oh the trials of a cardmaker.

How the styles have changed in wedding dresses but don't they look nice.
