With Sympathy

Evening All.

Well what a day it's been. My friend Chris has been round to finish fitting a door for me. I've been to a craft jumble sale, run by the local stitch and craft club, which is basically the same as a normal jumble sale except they only sell craft stuff - FAB!!!

Then I've been preparing to do a craft show tomorrow with the stock from my shop. I asked hubby to fetch me a display basket from the loft, and as he came down he noticed the flooring in the loft was wet, and discovered that the header tank had sprung a leak - Oh Joy, so I had to ring Chris, and he came rushing round to sort it out for me. So now we have a house with no hot water, until hubby gets the part for Chris to fit tomorrow - think I'll be glad to be out. Then hubby tried to put a new bulb in the light in my workroom and has somehow managed to get it wedged half in and half out, so it doesn't work but it's well and truly stuck. Think it's time to stop trying to do things today!!!!!

So I thought I'd share a card with you that my ladies made in the week, as part of the Hatches, Matches and Dispatches class.

The card layers are all Bazzil card, the sentiment stamp is one of my friend Lynnes - which is available at Sentiments For You. The image is from Sugar and Spice, and I have embossed it with Wow embossing powder, which gives a lovely glittery effect.

I'd like to enter it in the following challenges;

Lets Ink It Up - show us your embossing

Simon Says - anything goes

Polka Doodles - black, white and one other (glitter silver in embossing powder)

One Stop Crafts - clean and simple

and

Craft Your Days Away - black and white

Thanks for looking, and I'll be back soon.

Beautiful Ballet Dancers

Morning All.

What a fab day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, I'm making kits ready for my lovely ladies tomorrow, and I'm waiting for my Promarkers to be delivered so that they can go in my shop.

As it's Wednesday, it also means that it is time for a new challenge at Fab 'n' Funky, and this time round the theme is.........

Make It Girly.

We are also being sponsored by Pink Cat Studio.

I decided to use an adorable Mo Manning image for my card, as in my book most little girls want to be pink ballerinas when they grow up - or in my case more of a sugar plum fairy. Anyhow, I hope you like the card, and will pop on over and join in the fun.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Delicious Doodles - make a card you'd want

OSAAT - use a charm

Incy Wincy - pastel colours

and

The Crazy Challenge - lovely ladies

Thanks for looking, and have a lovely day.

Hugs Sharon xx

Baby Bunny

Morning All.

Long time no see, but don't blame me blame, as there was a distinct lack of broadband over the weekend. It is scarey how much you miss the web when you can't just log on - think I'm possibly addicted, how sad is that!!!!!

Anyhow enough grumping as connection is back up and running at the mo, so I thought I'd share my 'Hatches' card with you from my Hatches, Matches and Dispatches class.

The image is a Wild Rose stamp, which I think is adorable, which I have coloured with Promarkers - which by the way, should be available from my shop very shortly :o)

The sentiment is from an old Kars set of stamps. The backing papers are all Craft Creations and the charm is frm my shop again.

I hope the ladies will like it.

I'd like to enter it into the following challenges;

Charisma - 4 legged friends

Sarah Hurley - 4 legged friends

Crafty Pad - use a ribbon

Papertake Weekly - lemon zingy

Paper Sundaes - stripes

OSAAT - use a charm

and

Dream Valley - new beginnings

Thanks for looking.

Yeee Haw!

Morning All.

It's time for a new challenge at Do It With Digi's, and this time round the theme is.......

We are luck enough to be sponsored by Meljen Designs for this challenge, and it is one of their designs I have used on my card. I am also sponsoring this challenge, so there is a selection of charms up for grabs.

The die cut Yeee Haw! is an old sizzlit die I raked from the back of the cupboard. The charm is one available from my shop Ewe 2 Can Craft.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Paper Sundaes - how charming

I have stepped away from stamping for this challenge, and have made my own spring flower using various sized daisy punches, which I have shaped using tweezers and an embossing tool. The background was cut using a Nestability die which was then embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.
