Hi I havent been around much lately not been in the mood Im afraid but My space shows that I have been a little bit productive with leftovers from my last project and a birthday card I made for my Sister in law which is fashioned on one of the Tim Holtz monthly tags So as I was saying I have not been in the mood what with aches and pains but was just getting back into the swing of it when Monday afternoon I went and slipped a disk so am in flippin agony now :0(( not one to sit about and feel sorry for myself though but have to be careful now so today I am rubbing down bottles for something to do as I have signed up for Andy Skinners course and hope I can get it done ..... So if you want to join in or look around you will find more lovely work spaces here at Julia's spot Well have a lovely Wednesday Hugs xxx

I suppose I just haven't been in the mood lately but am getting there again ....Thanks to last months Craft Stamper where Kim Costello had her work published Hats Off ! I decided to make my version for a very lovely Couple Nicks and Matthews silver wedding Anniversary . Now I know its not silver but did put the number 25 on added some grunge board wings as Nicks Believes in Angels plus made the flowers with Glassine paper and Spellbinders Bitty Blossom die just to be different all coloured with Distress inks ...the template can be downloaded from Kims Blog of The craft stamper magazine :0) Thank you for passing by xx

Blimey that came around quick again ! Not much has gone on in my world this week apart from I have finally sorted out my unmounted stamps that are in the folders and now have some sort of order to them well I have seperated the makes and put them in seperate folders then put the names of the makes on the outside of the folders so I dont have to search through everyone of them to find a particular stamps . Good hey! Bit of a stressful day today so might not get round to looking until tomorrow xxxxx Well thats a peek at my world this week if you would like to see loads of talent see Julia here

I recently went to my Brother and sister inlaws ruby wedding where they re-took their wedding vows which was very lovely . This is the card I made for them they like Owls LOL.... It was made using a A4 blanks white card shaded with distress ink Dried Marigold the tree trunk is Idea-ology Retro grunge paper the nest background is a mega curved rectangle nesti die using Core'dinations color core plus Tim Holtz Kraft core for the leaves and the Autumn gatherings die which were distressed with the green shades of inks ... The Owls are a Digi stamp from Charmed cards and crafts Letters and numbers are using glossy red card and Alterations die typeset white lace card is Alterations die vintage lace and Mulberry Butterflies coloured with red promarkers and red beads plus flowers from stash . it looks better up close thanks for passing by x

Finally got round to April its been a busy month so have left it pretty much to the last minute ! followed most of the instructions but didn't have the reflections stamp so covered the tag with Idea-ology tissue wrap terminology and went on from there the tissue didn't take the colors as well as I thought it would but then I like the effect also used Paper Artsy stamps for the words and a little silver princess crown I had in my charm box . Thank you for passing by your comments are greatly appreciated x
