An Apology.

Hi
This is Sheila's DD.
I am just posting to say that Mum hasn't been well since she got in from work and I have made her take a night off from her cardmaking and have a rest. Nothing serious she just has a problem with her ears at the moment which is affecting her balance and making her feel nauseous. She has started treatment which should soon sort it out.
I haven't a clue how to do this raffle so could you bear with her and she will do the draw for the Celtic stamps tomorrow.
Thank you
R. Oliver

Daring Carmakers-Plastic Fantastic!!!

I did curse when I saw the dare for this week over at Daring Cardmakers. All of the stuff I could have used had been collected about half an hour before the dare was posted. So all that was in the bag we keep in the kitchen was a small plastic bag from some embellishments I had opened last night.
It's taken me all day to figure out what to do with it and this is what I ended up with.
Ages ago I saw a technique somewhere where you use hair gel inside a plastic bag and then add glitter and stuff........no hair gel so I used some waterless hand cleaner that is like a gel. Added a mix of glitter, micro beads and tiny confetti stars and swooshed it about a bit.
The frame was stamped and chalked then embellished with silver stars and a couple of silver blocks made from mirror card bashed with a steak hammer......an idea picked up from a Suze Weinburg video on You Tube.
Black outlines are peeloffs and the star borders are done with a Fiskars plier punch.
Quite happy with the outcome as it is very different to some of my earlier ideas for this dare.
If you have never joined in with the dares you really should have a go.......it is such fun and really makes you think.
Thanks for looking.

Tanda Teaser-Toybox Treasures!!!

Well Wendy very nearly had me stumped with the latest Tanda Teaser. I don't really do childrens cards so don't have any child related bits and pieces apart from new born stuff.........and you know how much I love doing baby cards.........not!!!
Then I thought......well it doesn't have to be for a very small child and the old cogs started making a funny grinding noise and off I went.
So this card is in the style of an old boxed game. I did the frame and the writing on the computer, cut it out, screwed it up, chalked it, then chalked it some more, spritzed it with walnut ink and then ironed it and stamped the medieval image which is by TandaStamps.
I added a thumb print as it is a boys' toy........we all know what mucky pups they are.....lol!!! Also added a fun touch with some banter written in a childs handwriting.
Took me all of 20 minutes to make once I had the idea.
Thanks for looking.

Daring Cardmakers Little Extra-Oh Sooo Juicy!!!

The Little Extra Dare at DCM this week is called Oh Sooo Juicy and we have to use lemon and orange on our designs.........the two colours I dislike most of all....lol!!!

Still I soldiered on like a good old daree.....no such word I know......and here is my effort.

I expect I will be put in the corner for this one as I cheated a teensy weensy bit by using an embellishment I had made some time ago.

The flower on the chipboard circle is stamped over a background of fluid chalk inks and embellished with a white gel pen then triple embossed. I added the brad today.

I doodled the stems and added small brads to look like buds.

Finished off with a MM rub on on a scallop punched oval, a couple more brads and a quick doodle round the scallops.

I shall have to look at everyone else's later today as I am soooooo tired just now that I am falling asleep on the keyboard.

Night night
