A New Job!!!

Nah.......not me........the card.....lol!!!
I know you will be shocked to see me cutting up G45 papers but fear ye not....these were from Deb to make shop samples.
For this one I joined two pieces of A4 card with a strip of the DP and then trimmed it down to what I call.....an A4 square.....which is roughly eight and a quarter inches square.
The rest is images from one of the sheets and a tag sheet with the addition of ribbon and a brad.
The lettering is not ideal but we don't stock any of the other die sets that I have at home and it's so cruel to use something on a card that we don't have available in the shop. I might try a bit of Glossy Accents on it to pep it up a bit.

This was my first day at the shop since last Wednesday so I have had five days off. You would think that I have would have had loads of time in my room to get things done but I spent most of the time pleasing other people and not myself. They have been warned that this weekend I am spending one day batch cooking for the freezer, the rest of the time I will be working upstairs and they can fend for themselves.....lol!!!

Just a note for ladies who visit the shop.......this weekend sees the start of the annual Statutes Fair in Ashby. The shop will be open on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th as usual but closed on Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd. Open as usual from Wednesday 23rd.

Right I am away to the sofa for a read and an early night.
Thanks for dropping by.

Oh Christmas Tree!!!

Cards.........as promised.
This is the Bondaweb Technique used on Sizzix die cut trees. Background is chalked and Glimmer misted and then embossed with the Divine Swirl embossing folder.
Merry Christmas stamp is DeNami.
Snowflake brads are Dovecraft......I think.

It's been an odd week this week. Don't seem to have achieved much. Seem to be going through a bit of a 'blue' period at the moment though I don't know why as I don't have much to be miserable about apart from getting old and growing grey.......lol!!! I do have a couple of things on my mind but they will sort themselves out one way or another.
Thanks to all who entered the Lucky Dip. There will be another one starting tomorrow evening when I get back from BIL's where we are going for lunch.......and I may squeeze in a little trip to Ikea seeing as how he lives just round the corner from the Nottingham branch......be rude not to go being so near.

Right.....I had best go and give the chicken a poke to see if it's cooked. I'm cooking a celebration tea tonight as it was our 33rd wedding anniversary yesterday but the other half was at work until 10pm.

Thanks for dropping by.

Manic's Crafty Lucky Dip!!!

THIS DRAW IS NOW CLOSED

I am having a really good sort out in preparation for getting some new units for my workroom and finding tons of stuff that I either haven't used for ages, will never use or just don't like any more. So I thought it would be fun to do a Crafty Lucky Dip on here to help these items find new and hopefully loving homes.
I have kept all prizes small and made more of them to give more people a chance to win something and this could run for several weeks...........you should see the pile...lol!!!
There are stamps, 6x6 papers, ribbons etc. There will be no pics posted. Ten winners will just get whatever envelope I pick from the pile.

So what do you have to do?
Just leave a comment on this post and tell me which is your favourite paper range.

1- Only one comment per person please. Duplicate comments will be deleted.

2-This is not blog candy as such so I do not want any links posted on sites that trawl for blog candy.
