I seem to have lost Monday!! Ha Ha. There it was gone!

Let me be a good girl (girl)!!! That's a laff!..........and do my 'Tag'.

1. If a movie was being made of your life, who would you like to be cast to play yourself and why?
   Patty Dukes Austin We were dead ringers for each other when I was a lot slimmer!


2. You are spending a whole month on a desert island for charity and you have to choose your favourite celebrity to spend the first two weeks with & your least favourite celebrity to spend the second two weeks with, who would they be & why?
   The first 2 weeks would be with Harrison Ford. Corrrr!
   The second 2 weeks I couldn’t care less ‘coz of the first 2 weeks!!!


3. What are your three favourite crafting products?
   Ribbon, Tildas and I’m sneaking in Hangler and Stangler stamps even though I haven’t got a hope in hell of ever having one.


4. If you could invent something to do anything what do you think it would be?
   A stamp machine where you feed a picture in one end and a stamp came out the other.

   Hmmm. Some of Dovecraft, some of DCWV and a little dab of Docrafts.


8. What is your claim to fame?
   Won the card competition on Rugby Crafts last year. That’s about as famous as I get I’m afraid.

Thank you Tara and Michelle. I will think who to tag later. Hmmm who will I choose)?

Happy wot's left of Monday!

What happened to Monday???

On Sunday, Pam And I went to Derby for the Gina Martin demo I spoke of in my last post.
It was brilliant.

We met up with our friends at the Derby Dabblers at 9am and all mucked in getting the hall ready for Gina's appearance at 10am.

We made 5 cards each using 'Art Impressions' stamps.

I bought 3 Art Impression stamps, Hero arts clear design cupcakes and I also bought 5 more Marvy pens.

I'm going to have to start leaving my purse at home!

I wrote all my answers out for the Tag I was doing set by Michelle and Tara.

Hit 'publish' and it all went wrong. The window was full of script and messages about HTML. ARGHH!
I give up!!! sorry girls. I'm a wuss, I know.
Here's a card I made today instead......

Firstly got to drop off my D-i-L's birthday card off.

Happy Saturday everyone!

OH! Just remembered!

I've been tagged by Tara and Michelle. As I'm out all day tomorrow, I'll catch up with it on Monday girls. :o)

I've been busy stamping images all day on and off.

Is it just me, or does anyone else seem to launch the ink pad all over your work! *sigh*.

I can't tell you the number of images that ended up in the bin because of my clumsy ink pads. It wasn't ME honest!! lol

I forgot to show you the baby cards I did for a friend of mine whos daughter has just had a little girl. Awww bless.
Well here they are now. I hope you like them. I think they are really sweet. :)

Off to Derby tomorrow for the day. Meeting up with the Derby Dabblers for a day of crafting. Gina Martin is coming to show us the correct way of using the watercolour stamps!! That will be interesting.

Bought my Crayola coloured pencils, Sansador and paper stumps. going to have a play with them later.

Andrea showed them to me at the card class last week. Thanks Andrea! :0)

Michelle has just told me how to change the colour of my text! THANKS Michelle!

Well I'd better get going. I'm starving. Hope you're all having a great weekend!

A big thankyou

Here's a 'Just made for fun' card.

Courtesy of Donna from Tilda & Co.
Thank you SO much Donna. I've been going round the bend trying to upload pictures.
You are a STAR!!! You ALL are. :)

Thank you to all you lovely ladies who have sent me hints and tips on how to format new lines and paragraphs.

The first lesson I've learned is to use < & > with a 'p' in the middle.

Had to do it that way or it would have just given me a new line wouldn't it! Ha Ha

I'm SO pleased that finally I can make a list, change paragraphs (using two lots of code) and make my text easier on the eye and smarter.

You are all amazing!

THANK YOU!

It's Thursday!

I'm so frustrated. I haven't been able to upload any cards since last Sunday. Arghhh!
It seems that I am one of those unfortunates, who has been blighted with the BX error code for uploading images in Blogger.
All I can do is link to them and that's not really a solution is it. We all like to see our cards displayed in the here and now.
I shall keep harrassing Blogger until it's sorted. In the meantime, please bear with me and thank you for using these links.

Cute card Thursday

Just for fun

Just for fun again

Tilda & Co challenge.

I'm not clever enough to describe the materials too well with all this linking going on. I'll suffice to say that the background papers, are from Laura Ashley, Basic Grey's Stella Ruby and Scarlet's Letter paper pads. I really like these papers.
The pink Cadillac stamp is Pam's.

I DO hope Blogger sorts this problem out soon.
Thanks for stopping by!

My glitzy challenge card

I'm having a devil of a time trying to upload images, so I've put my my Papertake Weekly Challenge here. At least it's here in spirit so to speak.

Can anyone tell me how to space my sentences and paragraphs?

They don't make for comfortable reading all bunched up together. I've tried all sorts to make the layout better, but it always comes out as one long paragraph.

Blog candy!!!!

Tara's achieved 20.000 hits and is celebrating by giving away this Tilda stamp! What a lovely piece of candy.

Thank you Tara.
