Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? On Tuesday I didn't have a good day. I had lots of phone calls to make about my parents. I also received a call from the Care Company to say that we owed too much money.  I had just paid an invoice. Lastly I heard that my uncle had died the night before. My poor cousin lost her mum recently as well. I decided the least I could do would be to make a card.

How is your week going? I so glad that the snow has gone and that it is a little warmer.

I am in a few groups on Facebook and I saw some cards made with a technique using Distress Oxides. My first thought was I won't be able to do that. Anyway I visited the blog in question and there was a link to a video tutorial. So I had a look and I thought yes that is achievable. So I had a go with what I had in my stash.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

This is something of a sad post for me. I have decided to step down from the Emerald City Crafts Challenge blog. I have very much enjoyed my time on the team helping to get the challenge blog up and running. Now it is time for me to move on. Linda has been very gracious about my decision. I would like to wish her all the best for the future I am sure there are some very exciting times ahead for Linda and the rest of the team.

The new challenge starts today and as usual the theme is Anything Goes and mixed media projects are welcome.

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? We are nearly at the weekend. I really shouldn't wish the time away should I? There is so much coming up though. I still have quite a bit to make for the wedding which is about five and a half weeks away.

The new challenge starts on the Moving Along with the Times challenge blog and the theme is Embossing.

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? Somehow my afternoons are becoming very busy and not much crafting is happening that isn't what I expected to happen. Tomorrow we are off to see Mamma Mia at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton I am very excited.

I was thrilled when I received the free gift with Simply Cards and Papercraft this month. There is an embossing folder, some dies and some stamps. Here is the card I made.

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you had a great weekend. On Saturday we went to the Newbury Craft Show and after we met our daughter and her fiance and his parents for a meal and a spot of shopping. On Sunday we had a day catching up on bits and pieces in the house. It is good to have days like that.

On the first Tuesday of the month a new challenge starts on the Unicorn Challenge blog the theme this time is Make it Pearly.

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Well this is my first day back at school. It is also the first day of the first challenge on the new Unicorn Challenge blog. Please come and support us. The theme is Mystical and Magical. Please come and join us in this new venture. It is a monthly challenge starting on the first of each month.

This is my Design Team card for inspiration and I chose to use my mermaid stamp from LOTV.

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I am well and truly back the washing is all sorted and lots of other jobs have been done. I am slowly catching up with my crafty projects. It did take me a while to get back into the swing of  things, I am lucky that I get so much time to play in the summer.

Sadly while we were away the lady who plays the piano for most of our church services had a stroke and was taken into hospital. She is quite poorly and it will be a while before we know how much she has been affected. I decided to make a card to send to her.
