Queen Anne's Lace!!!

For my class today I was doing Adirondack Ink Backgrounds and used the Penny Black stamp Queen Anne's Lace which I have fallen in love with.
As always the colours are much nicer in real life than they look here.
The image has been embellished with Woodware Fluffy Stuff which was heated and then just lightly touched with Stardust Stickles.
We had a fabulous morning and then a very busy afternoon. I came home completely whacked and just vegged out on the sofa with DD watching more Larkrise To Candleford.........which I am thoroughly enjoying.
Still wide awake though so I am off upstairs to tidy away the mess I made last night in the hope that it will make me sleepy enough to go to bed.......if not it will be a looooong night.

I still have to sort out some blog candy for my 80,000 hits........I've not forgotten......just been a tad busy.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Harlequin Rose-2!!!

WOW.........I don't think I have stamped this manically for ages......lol!!!
This is a tag I started yesterday using my new Elusive Images stamps and today I finished it off and added it to a card.
Used my trusty old Adirondacks for the colouring on this one as I have a class using them tomorrow.
There is another tag HERE done with the mens set I bought.

DD came to the shop with me today and did the counter while I got on with prep for tomorrow and other things.
The Penny Black stamps arrived. We have just had a small selection for now to see how they go and of course I had to have some.....even a set of cute ones surprisingly.
Lots to keep me busy then.....lol!!!

Was very ticked off when I got home to find that the plumber who came to mend the loo had to smash the tiled box that I had had built around some ugly pipes when we had the tiling done. It looks a right mess and I just feel like crying as it's yet another job to add to the mounting list of things that need seeing to when I thought we were about done with the bathroom except for a coat of paint and changing the shower curtain for a screen........Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Anyway I am off for a bath with my eyes shut........lol!!!

Bye for now......thanks for dropping by.

Harlequin Rose!!!

Am I ever a pushover for sheets of grey rubber?
When I first saw the Harlequin Rose set from Elusive Images I have to say that I wasn't over keen because I have enough rose stamps already. So how come that half an hour after ours being delivered yesterday I had bought them, ripped open the packet and made this card ready for a class today. Honestly I am such a tart when it comes to pretty stamps.........and I had the Eccentric Edwardian too.......and tomorrow our Penny Black stamps are being delivered. I shall be broke for life.........lol!!!
Just to let customers know.....we now have a selection of Glimmer Mists in and more to follow.

Anyhoo....I only used the small rose stamp as the class was actually on using the Cuttlebug but the image was perfect to use with the script folder and vellum for a romantic card.
I just stamped and embossed it in black and painted the flower with a wash of pink Brilliance and the leaves with Adirondack Meadow. Simple but such a beautiful image.
Started on another project today with the bigger stamp and also did one using the Eccentric Edwardian which I will post tomorrow as it is still drying at the moment.

I've had a couple of very busy days so I am going to relax with DD for a couple of hours now and watch Larkrise to Candleford on DVD.....I may even scoff a cream egg..........what do I mean 'may'.........I definitely will....lol!!!

Thanks for dropping by today.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Still on the quick and easy cards to try and fill up my box for the shop.
This Oriental card has been made using an image from a Joanna Sheen CD. I much prefer these soft colours to the usual black and red. The background paper isn't showing it's true colour which is a soft buttery yellow and absoloutely gorgeous....looks a bit washed out in the photo.

This is just a few of the cards I have managed to get done this weekend......and I even packed them which is a job I really, really don't like doing.

Had a ride out this morning just to get out of the house and went to a little craft shop with Deb. Luckily I didn't take too much money out with me.....just enough to treat myself to a couple of bits.......I could have spent a fortune.
Just watched Dancing On Ice and Ray as always was brilliant but I love Jessica too so I am very torn. Hope the final is between those two...it will be fab.
Still in a creative mood so I might go and do some more cards after the skate off but for now I am off blog hopping for an hour.
Thanks for your visit.
Bye for now

It's Them Bitsa's Again!!!

Just thought I'd let you see that I am being a very good girl and still using up all my bits and Basic Grey pads.

I've made fifteen cards today......all very simple but they always go really well at the local shop.

Still lots of stuff to wade through but I'm getting there.

Oh my word....I have just noticed my rubbish typing on the bottom card....lol!!! I was doing it in a rush because hubby wants to watch a film and I wanted to beat him into the bathroom before we settle down....he makes such a mess when he has a shower.

Here he is......best go and get comfy.

Bye for now and thanks for visiting.
