Father's Day

Still cold here today, although the rain has stopped. I'm having a lazy day so I thought I'd make a card while watching some TV! I probably should be ironing or doing housework! This card is for my Father as Father's Day is in a couple of weeks.

This is my entry in this week's Annabelle Stamps Blog Challenge:

Recipe:
Card from stash - 3 blues and white
Ink: SU Not Quite Navy & Baja |Breeze

Just Because

I'm having a great week, and now work is over it's really just beginning! I won Annabelle Stamp's Red White & Black Challenge  and Dawn nominated me for a blog award, hubby is away fishing and I can spread out my crafting stuff - mess everywhere - however I do need to clean up a little before craft tomorrow afternoon! Does it get any better?

Tonight's card is for this weeks Less is More Challenge

Week 55 - Theme

Punches or Die Cuts

I've used two punches from Stamping Up with black and white card from stock.

Love Heart

Second post for today, I actually started making a card for Annabelle's Blog Challenge last Friday - but I made two and didn't like either,  so this was my original plan - I got waylaid by adding stamps from a new set  to the first two-  but they didn't work out so here goes! The edges haven't scanned all that well, I probably should have used a black mat.

Well the itches are all but gone and I think the tablets are actually helping my back too- here's hoping. I got home to find that Emma had started clearing out the cupboards in the study - so soon I should have a home for my craft stuff - besides the floor!

Tonight I have two posts - both for Valentine's Day themed challenges. I was punching out some hearts and decided I that I liked the negative, so I have made my card using it and a couple of smaller die cut hearts.

Wow, I can't believe it's been that long since my last post, after Melbourne we have had house guests and been away so all my craft stuff was bundled  away - not to be brought out until today - we still have Neil & Margaret staying with us until next week but we had our craft session today and John is away so "Craft Rules" - at least for the moment. It was very hot up the river - 43 degrees one day and even our little dog Trevor ended up with his life jacket on and in for a swim! Now it's back almost to normality, with work for me starting this week and next week for hubby. We are back up the boat this weekend with N&M so hopefully it won't be too hot. I will try to do some visiting to see what everyone has been up to in the next few days!

Today's card is for Annabelle Stamps Challenge - Say It In  - Black, White & Silver.

Engagement Wishes

A beautiful day, went to a craft fair with Sandy - spent up big and just as we were about to leave bemoaning the fact that our favourite stand from Queensland wasn't there - we found it!!! Needless to say more plastic was melted! Then we realised we were supposed to be back for craft in 15 mins so we had to put our skates on. I only had an hour at craft as I had to have some tests done - so I left the girls to it and wouldn't you know it they were running half an hour late - not impressed.

I started this card before I left and finished it when I got home, I am entering it in this weeks Annabelle Stamps Challenge - Bling Sketch . My friends Kwan and Alex announced their engagement last night so this is for them.

A Monday off - well that's because I worked last Friday instead, more washing and then I had to take back the dryer I bought on Saturday as when we opened the box the dryer had a big ding in the top - any how hopefully second time lucky!
