DCM Friday Dare

Well its here again already - how the heck did that happen. Time is really cranking up the speed at the moment and I am having to run hard to keep up with it. I am supposed to be going to a friends this weekend but frankly "don't want to" is all that comes to mind - had a horrific week work wise, Cait wise and just generally toooooo bizzzzzy but I cancelled out on her last weekend so we shall see - will call her in a min and see if there is an easy way out.... lol.

Enough moaning My DCM Card - dah dah! Luckily it will also act as one of my SU samples so that saves me a job!! The template I took from Split Coast Stampers with the band to close it but to be fair I have seen it elsewhere over the years!

Thats all for now folks.

For Kathy: The Template is really easy - 2 square cards and cut the front to an angle then stick the two whole backs together. Cut 3 squares of paper, one for the back and then one for each triangle - just fold over the top. Just be careful not to put too much paper in the creases as it makes them difficult to fold. There are more details on the SU blog over -----> if you are interested.

Friday DCM Day

Well yes I know it is Sunday but I am a busy girl!!! Lol. Anyway here is the dare card in all its glory. The spotty circles background stamp is Stampin' Up in Versamark as is the Greeting but in black, which I really like. The little birdies are Hero Arts, stamped in Stazon and coloured with marker pens.

Had a busy weekend visiting friends and more next weekend and Mum and Dads the weekend after and then ermm well its Christmas!!! How the heck did that happen!

Going Japanese...

Well these were my new stamps the other day that I had a play with. Sorry for the delay in posting them up. Also a couple of Cait Piccies from present opening!

Not much in the mood

For anything really - long day today so off to bed in a Mo. Everything seems to be taking twice as long as it should! Still another long day in London tomorrow so not much crafting time for a bit.

I did the DCM time challenge - but it is already time for another...will I ever catch up!

Also did some invites for Cait which I need to do an insert for ready to send to a few little ones on our street for her birthday tea party.

There are also a couple more Christmas cards - I have about another 6 or so images to make up in a similar design but not tonight :-)

Other than that - as I said - off to bed - how exciting!!! lol

Crafty Stuff

Daring Card Makers Dare First - buttons and Ribbon from the haberdashery collection - not very adventurous but there you go - needed a couple of cards to add to a selection I am sending someone.


















Then some Toppers for ebay - very girly couple of sets and a christmas couple of sets - not very detailed these ones - might go and add them to some card to make them more substantial - undecided as yet as at the moment they could be used as tags as well as toppers.





































Well I did get time to photo things today and do a bit of sorting. So I have some more toppers to go on ebay - although it will be tomorrow now and then the other day I did some christmas cards and I also have a DCM dare just in time - lol and something for another Forum as well so here they all are. Christmas Cards - I made three of each on a mission to use some things up - all of these cards and toppers were made with scraps and bits of things hanging around I am trying to clear up by using!!!!

Time for Crafting (2)

Time for crafting...

OK a few things to upload - not sure they will all make it into one post but we will give it a go.

Photies

Blimey

Its saturday - how did that happen - lol. I have been busy crafting fro a manic week of challenges at CBC - Bex has a weekend of challenges this weekend - but hers are 'ard stuff so I am not sure how many of those I will do....

Few piccies for you - one with the piccies of the lottie was taken Wednesday when I went a watering - its come on even more as John and I spent most of the day there again today - alot tidier etc and a bit more planting done.

Had great fun and there is some more but Blogger isn't playing ball anymore so will add to another post another day

OK its deleted all but 2 of the piccies - who knows what it is playing at - will try again later

Another craft time

A week of it this time so a little bit more paced - not sure I will be able to do so much in the weeks as I am pretty busy workwise at the moment. Anyway certainly did a few today.

1) Card with a Buckle or shrink plstic - went with the buckle.
2) A mini book of some variety - front and back here yet to do the pages but they are other challenges as well
3) Mens cards - never easy! But 3 of them!
4) Yet to do this one
5) Three times - use an image or embellishment three times on one card
6) Again yet to do - but this is a DLO in the mini book so that will get done next I think

I also have some more cards I have been doing in between times - been quite productive recently.

Still really tired after a tough week workwise - Birmingham twice and London on a Friday - blurgh. Got London twice next week as well kicking off on Monday.... I am running out of footwear to wear as I don't like wearing the same shoes all the time down there as my feet really really suffer. I keep looking out for crocs as I want to try before I buy I think. Nuff said for now :-)
