Di Hickman sept #4


Here is my take on this weeks Di Hickmans challenges
Thought i would have a go at a man's card again. I seem to have more males in my life than females. I long for some more females so i can do more lo's with flowers on.
Anyway when i was doing this card and heat embossing the circular 'for Gentlemen' emblishment sparks started flying from it. So i have had to buy a new one which i will check out later today, hopefully. I have a busy scrapping day tomorrow. I have to finish my next circle journal which will be about 'me' The other team members have to write what they like and dislike.
It is also my brother-in-law to be's 50th birthday next week so i need to russell up something for him.
Have a next saturday night.

I have had a change of heart. I have made a new card for the fat freddies competion for september. They hold one every month so if you fancy a go head over there. And if you win don't forget you sent you there. lol.
Arm feeling slightly better. Cann't wait until it is back to normal and i don't have to wear this sling any more.
Anyway the weekend is almost upon us, so have a good one and thanks for visiting.

Stash, stash, stash.

Had a fantastic time at the show. Spent a small fortune, but ay ho it is only money and one as to ensure a good supply of stash to work with. There was lots of lovely stuff. Art from the heart have the new Love Elsie range. Which is delish. Got a Zutter bind it all. I have wanted one for ages and luckily Stamp Addicts where selling them. Also got lots of paper and card. My good friend was very kind to me on saturday, she carried my bags and made me sit whilst she got coffee's and lunch. Thanks very much Lynn. Then i went again on sunday. I had a free ticket for both days. Given to all members of craft work cards. Lynn could not make it on sunday, so my darling son came along as my bag carrrier. I treated him to a double topped jersey ice cream, which he thought was yummy. So that kept him happy. Arm is a bit sore. People kept knocking. Some people did actually apologise and check i was o.k. But others just looked and carried on pushing through. Some people seem to lose all sense of good manners. The Sketch this card site are looking for new design tem members. I would looovvee to be part of a design team. So anyone out there looking for new team members ?!!! This is my attempt for sketch this card:27

Hope you are all well. Take care

Di Hickman sept #3

I felt in the card making mood today so did 2 for this weeks Di Hickman sketch Made the snowflake one first, which i quite like. I bought some stencils from fat freddies they are by The Crafters Workshop and are really fantastic. They have lots to choose from including alphabets, swirls , flowers and doohickys ( brackets and exclaimation marks to you and me) Any way i did the swirls by the snowflake with the Regal Flourish.



Luck for me Fat Freddies will be at the Great Northern Show tomorrow, so i will be able to stock up on supplies. I am really looking forward to it. I love getting new stash. And apart from walking the dog and going to fracture clinic i have not been out. Starting to go a little stir crazy. I neeeeeed to get ooouuut
Takecare and catch you later
