What a weekend

Had the most fantastic weekend. Warren looks slightly thinner, but not bad. Not even a scratch.My sister and i just laughed so much last night. My sides ache. Drink lots. Mainly champagne. It was lovely. Warren as taken lots of photos of the countryside and the afghan soilders. One looked about 12 years old. There was also this video clip of some action, which was not to my liking. There was nothing gory in it, but still. I just do not need to see that. But the countryside is beautiful.
It was my father in laws birthday yesterday. Because we where away we rang him and will bob his card around this eveing. This is it.

Papertake card and fabo weekend

This is my take on Papertake weekly challenge. Never done one of theirs before, so thought i would run this one up in between shop, hairdressing appointments, wrapping presents and generally getting excited about this weekend. Used papers from dcwv. The dressed up range. Just love a bit of sparkle. I am off to my lovely sisters to catch up with my beloved family. May see if i can upload something to the old blog when i am there. Catch up later and have a good weekend.

Life is good.

Yippee and yippee again, i am as happy as a person living in happy land with an endless supply of calorie free chocolate.The reason, well. Number one i have been given a place on the Di Hickman design team for the month of march. How cool is that. That i am so so so sooooo soooo pleased. I cannot wait until march.
Next reason, my friend suzanne as arranged a girls night out for my birthday which is next week. Restaurant booked for 8pm on friday. I love time with my girl friends.
Last reason, warren as arrived safely home from afghanistan. Only for 2 weeks r&r. You already know how much i am looking forward to this family weekend. I had a quick chat with him on the phone before he was heading out for a pizzia with his girlfriend. He sounds o.k, but will be better able to assess just how he really is when i see him.
Oh and i forgot to mention i had a lo published in the december issue of The Scrapbook Magazine. It is the first one in the readers gallery. The christmas lo.
So you can see why i am happy at the moment. Long my it last.

Have managed to do a card for this weeks Card positioning systems. I really liked this sketch. Just used up some scrap piece of paper, think it was by creative imaginations. Foil word and flower are from Craftwork cards.
And one for the Arty Girlz, which required the used of buttons. Used papers by daisy d. One of my favourites. But i have many favourites.
Until tomorrow, have a good evening. Takecare.

Scrap club lo

Thought i would upload the lo for the scrap club which i did this weekend.
Warren will be flying back for his r&r tomorrow and should arrive safely on thursday morning. I am getting so excited about this weekend's family get together. It is going to be great. Will be back tomorrow with some cards. Until then takecare

Jackie's happy scrappers

Hi. had a fab day yesterday with the srap club girls. I really liked my lo which i will upload for you tomorrow it is too dark now to get a good photo.I just love that creative process, sharing it with others and seeing what they do.

Arty girls challenge

Happy new year everyone. This is going to be a fantastic year. Don't know just exactly what is going to happen, but i am starting it off in a postive mood.
Worked out my resolutions. Still the usual. Loss weight, excerise more. Blog more. Anyway here goes for a fab 08. Hope yours will be good too.

Here is my creation for the arty girlz challenge. You had to emboss either dry or heat, or both. I used the cuttlebug embossing dies.
The fit perfectly into my bigshot. I also heat embossed the words. So covered on both counts there.
Going to go to the gym to night, first time in over a year. I will let you know how i get on.
