Finally A Card

Its a absolutely gorgeous day today! Sunny and hot when the clouds aren't hiding the sun, but a little rest every now and then from the heat is a relief. All the guineas are out munching the grass earning their keep lol Pinky is out with her Daddy and the kids in the garden chilling out so I have peace for 5 minutes!!!

Last night we were lucky to be able to hear Elton John Live in our own back garden! He was at the county ground some miles away but it was loud enough for us to hear everything, hubby said it was because the sound was bouncing of the city or something, as we live on a hill, all that was far to technical for me lol I just enjoyed listening.

Phew at last I managed to make a card, I tried out these new Shimmer chalks, not sure about them still but practise makes perfect lol I think I am going to attempt another one this afternoon and maybe some atc's.

Hope everyone has a lovely sunny sunday! I have 11 guineas to clean, and a family to feed and I want to get some crafting in there some where too lol

Nothing to report today

Nothing to report today really, I am waiting for my memento ink pad to arrive, I only ordered it yesterday lol but I am so impatient. I ended up ordering it from ebay, the price was roughly the same as everywhere else and the postage was only 75p. I ordered the large tuxedo black pad, so It should last me ages. I had a browse on other sites and it would appear its pretty much all sold out, I hope that is a good sign that it is a good ink to use!

I haven't managed to get any crafting done, to be honest I think my mojo is having a day off, I dont seem to have any inspiration at all. I guess we all have days like these lol. Still need to get fathers day cards done!

Any how have a lovely Friday what ever you are doing!

A card at Last !

I finally got around to making a card yesterday, I have been a little side tracked by the atc making which I love at the moment more that making cards lol. Any how I needed to make a start on the thank you cards for the teachers at my children's schools, this is going to be a long task as there are so many and my youngest is leaving his nursery to start big school, so there are lots of thank you's that need to me made!

I also made 2 atc's yesterday using some lovely images again combined with stuff from my stash. I am now on the hunt for back gounds and other things to add to vintage images. I remembered my parents have some really old postcards in their cuboard from all over the world, they were given them by a friend whose mum passed away, this was when I was a child so some 2o years ago so they may well come in handy. I remember they were beautiful colours and spent time looking throught them so I am excited to see what may be in that box! There were some unusual stamps too. Will post later what I find!

Have a lovely Thursday all!

Oopps Whilst I am here I must remember to tell you about a lovely Blog Candy over at JulietkBears juliet is giving us the chance to win one of her Ickle dolls (see side bar pic) Pop over and meet Russell and see her lovely work!
