OK......so I think the heat has addled my brain now. I took pics of the golden wedding cards to blog tonight and sorted them out on the computer. Grabbed the giggle stick and nipped in to have a shower on the way down. Now I am sat here with no pictures on the stick because I forgot to transfer them. What a plank!!!
So I have to blog another couple of 'Bitsa' cards which are already on the hard drive down here because I just cannot go back up two flights of stairs.....it is sooooo hot up there.
Huge apologies.
Anyhoo.....papers are all DCWV. Cupcake is a Sizzlet die and teddy is Papermania. I hate teddies but I've been asked for cutie cards so cutie cards I have done.
I am just going to sit here and veg for half an hour and then I think I will have an early night.
Thanks for dropping by.

Another white card. This time with a tiny touch of blue in the gingham ribbon and the gemstone.I was going to take pics of the anniversary cards I finished off but man has it been dark up there today. We have had a belting thunder storm and torrential rain with howling wind. It got so bad that hubby had to go out and take down the gazebo before it flew off somewhere. No kidding....at one point the rain was horizontal as it lashed across the back garden. It hasn't cooled the air much though.DD finished her very last stint of nine night shifts this morning and I am so relieved as it was really getting her down. She has a week off now and then she will go onto a straight seven on and seven off pattern which will be so much better.The little angel went into town when she got up and she came back with two new Adirondack Lights ink pads and a couple of sheets of gorgeous paper for me........and totally forgot to buy what she actually went into town for........a DVD that was due out today. Something called The Unborn which I shall so NOT be watching. I've had enough frights for one day thank you very much. While it was thundering DD came into my workroom while I was looking out of the window and because the rain was beating so hard on the roof I didn't hear her. I turned around from the window and there she was. Well I screamed and just about gave her a heart attack and myself as well.......then we both collapsed in a heap of giggles. God I love that girl!!!Just had a nice cold shower so I am going to curl up with a coffee before I go and clear the desk off ready for work when I get back from the shop tomorrow. I really need to do some stamping so if the desk is clear I will get some done.I'll stop waffling now.Thanks for dropping by.Sheila-x-
I'm getting fed up of doing twiddly cards now.....lol........and I really need to get my hands inky. Unfortunately I have to finish off three golden wedding cards before I can do that. I'm not at work tomorrow so I should get the chance then.
These are more 'Bitsa' cards. I have made heaps of them today and they have gone some way to filling up the box to go down to the local shop. Plus I have used up lots of bits and bobs of stuff that needed using.
I think the spotty flowers were Doodlebug and the felt flowers were free from a magazine. Papers DCWV and MM.
Well I had best get back to work.
Thanks for dropping by.

Despite my love of strong colour I do have another love.........pure white. Now for me the Goddess of White has to be Sue Nelson. Not all of her cards are pure white but the ones she does are utter perfection.I have used one of her cards as inspiration for today's card which is all made from card embossed in Cuttlebug folders. The torn edges and the houses are highlighted with Frosted Lace Stickles.I have had a very peaceful day today but have only managed about half an hour upstairs as I decided to bite the bullet and tackle the ironing while DD was in bed and DH was out helping his friend. Four flaming hours I stood at the ironing board. DD's jeans are a nightmare as she wears those horrible baggy things covered in pockets and I must have ironed about 30 t shirts. I also cooked a Chilli and bathed the dog so tomorrow I am having the day off as I have been very domestic over the last couple of days. I am going to spend all day up in my work room and will only come out when hubby shouts me down for dinner......lol!!!It's been weird weather here today. The morning mist never lifted until just around tea time and it's been eerily quiet on the estate..........that's no bad thing though.....lol!!!Tonight I watched I Am Legend with hubby........it still made me cry and he still laughs at me crying at films. Felt like hitting him with the poker but I resisted....lol!!!Off to have a game of Fowl Words before I shuffle off to bed.......just helps to keep the old brain cells from dessicating.Thank for your visit.Sheila-x-
Christmas.........yay!!!
Trying to build up a selection of quick and easy Christmas cards for workshops at the moment and what could be quicker and easier than the good old Cuttlebug.
This is an 8x8 which I love working on.
The nice crusty finish on the snowflake is Fluffy Stuff which I sprinkled with frosty white glitter before heating.
Having a nice peaceful day today. Just pottering about doing laundry and stuff then when hubby gets home to take our Smudge out for his walk I shall shoot off upstairs and play.
First I am going to play about with the banner I have downloaded to match my blog background and then finish off some cards I started last night. Then I might just have a session with the new Inkadinkado stamps I came home with last night........four flippin' sets. I must have about thirty sets now..........lol!!!
Right off to put another load in......last one for today.
Thanks for dropping by.
