PollyCraft Challenge No2 - STRIPES

OK- thought I'd better get more organised this time. Just got my entry for the first challenge in on the last day (gulp)!

This Mondays challenge was to use stripes, I've got to admit this panicked me a wee bit as I really don't like stripes much.

However, I must have had a quick flash of some kind of Inspiration as I was kind pleased with what I came up with.

I used Biscuit Bear from Pollycraft and added a winter Hat and Poinsetta (sp) to her T-Shirt. I used a Rollergraph and Mica powders to create the background on the card. Then took 3 scallop punched circle and squashed them to make sections for a Christmas Tree.

Hope you like......

Christmas Card Swap

Here's a sneak peek at the Christmas Card I made for Emma's Card Swap. I'll not tell you who I have to send it too...but I hope she likes it!

The scan of this card really doesn't do it any justice (even if I say so myself).

Thanks Pam

Pam and I visited the SECC, in Glasgow this weekend for a craft fayre. And we happily managed to spend a small fortune.

But we were good and bought lots of goodies between us to use for all our christmas projects (which we'd better get our fingers out and start making), lol.

We got some really good bargins and Pam has listed info about the next craft fayre and some of the exhibitors on her blog. Go see.....

We were a little bit naughty though......next door to the SECC was the auditions for Britians got Talent. Pam took a photo of the big billboard with the Britians got Talent signon it and sent a text message to her hubby saying we weren't really visiting a craft fayre and we were away to audition for Britians got talent instead. Needless to say .....his reply was "you're having a laugh"!


So thanks Pam for a fantastic night away. We had a real good blether, got soaked and had a good laugh at me almost falling flat on my face (stone cold sober at the time - i hasten to add).

Here's to next year......I've started saving already.

Back AGAIN.....

and running late as usual.

I really wanted to take part in the 1st Pollycraft Monday Challenge. To design a card using a Pollycraft design but using no christmas red. mmmm

Took me a long time to come up with this because there are so many cute (very cute) christmas designs to choose from and I'm very indecisive at the moment. Bloke cards are so hard......

Anyway here's what I came up with.....hope you like

Think I'm back on track

Well...for a wee while at least, lol.

No more progress on my bloods problems, just have to keep getting regular blood tests. Good job I'm not squimish at the sight of needles.

Took the brave step of sorting through all my craft stuff (well ....most of it) last night. I think it did me good and gave me the boost I needed.

I've signed up for Emma's Christmas Card Swap if you haven't - get over there and joinin the fun.

You all also got to visit Pollycraft - Paula has been so busy and the shop now has wonderful unmounted stamps to buy! Be sure to check out Pollycraft Monday Challenge Blog - starts on Monday 13th....oh spooky!

Right time to get my crafting in gear.....thanks for all the support ...MWAH
