A Challenge card WOOHOO !

Yes I've finally done it, I've made a challenge card WOOHOO ! It's for Colour Create where they would like us to use the colours black, cream and burnt orange, with the optional extra of using checks. My burnt orange does look a bit red/pinky, but it is the right colour I promise.

The image is Stampendous Agaphantus, the card is SU and Papermill, the paper is from my stash and is a basket weave pattern so not sure if that counts as a check. I've used rafia instead of ribbon and the flowers are from my stash. The greeting is by Wild rose studio.

Thanks for looking and I hope you'l pop by again soon. Please feel free to leave a comment.

Coooooeeeeyyyy Jackie I'm here !

Just a few cards I've made for orders and for general sale.

Well isn't it grim today. There was I hoping that DS's return to school would be all sunny. but no grey skies and rain predicted. I guess that Spring Sprung and gone.

He's gone off this morning with his Dad's deodourant on and his hair spiked, no that there's much to spike as he had it cut last week. But he looks smart and smells lovely, not quite sure who he's trying to impress at 6. They do start young nowadays LOL.

I'd better toddle off as I've got a ceiling and some paint work to do before entering the realms of creativity.

A couple of Tilda's for orders ...

for Christening cards from a lovely lady who ordered 3 cards all for next week. I've done her a choice of these 2 which are both personalised. The other cards are for a Wedding but I'm just off to do those now.

I'm off to L'boro in a bit because my 1 yr old nephew is in hospital
very poorly. He's being treated for meningitis and severe chicken pox. Poor little lamb.

Well thats me for now.

Back later with good news I hope.

I know, I know, I've been AWOL yet again ...

Just thought I'd share a few cards I've made over the week. As you can see I've gone gor the simpler style on a couple of them, makes a quicker process. The little mouse was made for my step mums birthday on Thursday and she loved it. The others I've done for the shop. Haven't had much time this week with DS being off on holiday. I don't know why they have to have 2 weeks for Easter. He's ready to go back tomorrow, he was most upset when I told him he'd got another week off.

Thank you for the emails and the text messages some of my friends have sent. I'm ok and hoping to go back to work soon. I'l try and pop on a bit more from now on as I do miss blog hopping and seeing what beautiful creaions you've all made.
