As you know I am working on using up some of my older papers and offcuts. I've made a huge pile of these number cards also sizing the numbers to use up a lot of white card offcuts so that's a little space to fill with something else......lol!!!
I used the Cricut Base Camp cartridge to cut the numbers.
The background paper is MME from a glitter stack but I'm not sure about the pink swirl paper as it was just an offcut with no info on the back.
Today is not my favourite day. It's mucking out day at Manic Towers so lots of sofa shifting and poking about in dusty corners.
The sooner I get it done the sooner I shall get upstairs so I'll get off and do it.
Hope your Saturday is a little more exciting.
Thanks for dropping by.

I just can't leave it alone can I?
Another digital image but this is in my 'unknown sources' folder so I can't credit where it came from.
Love the little sentiment plaques I picked up from The Works as they come with foam tape on the back and make quite a nice change from peeloffs.
Paper is gcd Studios.
Our trip out today was scuppered by the weather so instead we have had rather a hectic fun filled day at home. I am so pooped that I just can't face going up to my workroom and am going to spend the evening watching The Apprentice followed by a film with DD.
I have a day to myself tomorrow so I'll catch up with my crafty jobs then.
I'm off for a shower though I would prefer a relaxing bath. I am soooo missing my bath.
Thanks for visiting.

There is still a huge pile of papers and offcuts that need using up so what better than cutting out huge flowers to use it up.
This tulip shape is from a Fiskars Shapecutter template but it would be quite simple to cut by hand.
I just drew through the template and trimmed around the outside of the drawn line.
The leaf is also from the template and is cut from green card and embossed.
Papers are gcd Studios and Basic Grey.
Sentiment stamp is Penny Black.....I think.
Miss Doodle has been in the house today and on top form after her weekend away. We had a lovely walk out in the sunshine this afternoon and I think I enjoyed it more than Ruby did. It was so good to be out in the fresh air and soaking up some sun. Different tale tonight though as it has gone pretty chilly and I am snuggled up in my pj's about to watch something on one of the catch up channels. I've been watching Get Your House In Order on 4od. My word I thought I had some stuff but I have nothing compared to the people on there. Watch it......it will make you feel quite virtuous.....lol!!!
DD is planning a day out tomorrow for us with Ruby. I don't know where we'll end up but it's sure to be a fun day with Miss Doodle in tow.
Thanks for dropping by.

Well.......I have actually been making some cards over the last few days.
This card is made using a free image from The Graphics Fairy which has been printed onto some soft cream card. The edges have been inked with Distress Inks and I also added some to the paper from gcd Studios.
The sentiment from Woodware has been stamped onto a Cricut diecut label.
Ribbon, lace and button from stash.
If I had my way all my cards would be either black and cream or black and white. I just love the simplicity and elegance of those two colourways.
Elsewhere at Manic Towers......we are still awaiting a visit from the joiner to shelve out the bathroom and put the new door on. We're not without a door as the old one was put back on temporarily but I want me new one and I want somewhere to put me stuff.
No Miss Doodle today as she is travelling back from a weekend in London visiting the other grandparents. Can't wait for a kiss and cuddle tomorrow.
DD is just about sick with excitement. It's two weeks today until she sets off for New York.........I may slap her before the two weeks are up.......or at least lock her in the shed. Just joking......it's lovely that she has something to look forward to.
I have to wait a little longer for my holiday which isn't until September but Mr Manic and I are going away by ourselves. We are trying to decide between Scotland and Norfolk......both places we want to visit. Plenty of time to make our minds up though.
Ah well........best go and feed the hungry horde.
Thanks for your visit.

Sorry for the lack of posts again over the last few days.
I have had Mr Manic home for nine days on holiday from work and my day to day routine goes straight out the window when he is under my feet for any length of time.
I've had so many trips out this last week that I nearly forgot what the house looked like.
Yesterday we went to visit my BIL and his partner who have just taken delivery of a gorgeous new baby girl called Jasmine. She is soooooo tiny. BIL......a first time dad at fifty two is like a dog with two tails and it's just wonderful to see him so happy.
On the way home I snuck in a visit to Pear Tree Yard to pick up some envelopes and also managed to snag a Martha Stewart Circle Cutter at a bargain price. It may not turn out to be such a bargain as so far I am not impressed. I will persevere however and see if I can produce some circles that don't look like they have been chewed out by the dog.....lol!!!
Miss Doodle is in the house today and has just gone down for her nap so I am going to try and get a couple of jobs done while she sleeps.
Thanks for dropping by.
