S.W.A.L.K.

Hi

Hope your all okay and the weather is good with you.  We've had a nice couple of days here for a change.  I've been able to leave to back door open for Hannah who is quite happy.  The only thing for me is that there is a field at the back of us and this year he's planted rape seed  (think that's how you spell it) and I have 'hey fever'   so my noise is running like mad at the moment, but it seems a shame not to enjoy the weather.

My card is a Wedding Anniversary for my middle Brother's Wedding Anniversary card.  It's a Crafter's Companion SWALK stamp which I love.  I've coloured it in in Promarkers and the background paper is a mask which I have used a new product I found when we went to our local craft shop which I love Bob and Jean are lovely and Jean is so helpful.  It can be bought from BJ Crafts, Tilney St Lawrence, Norfolk.  It's really unusual but easy to use.  It's called 'Sparkle Medium' from Imagination Crafts this one is Diamond there are lots of other colours but this is lovely it keeps the colour of the card you use.  You rub it over the mask and take the mask away carefully then leave it to dry preferably overnight.  I can really recommend it.

Hope you like the card.
Have a good week.

DDS#108 - Work Related

Hi

Well it soon comes round to team Karen's turn on our Challenge blog at Digi Doodle Shop Challenges and our theme is 'Work Related'.  So I've chosen a Farm scene as we're we live here in Norfolk we are surrounded by farms and Paul's OH Mother's side of the family we're farmers.  So please use work related theme on your projects.  The Digi Stamp I've chosen is 'Old Barn & Cows'

We are sponsored by the Digi Doodle Shop and the prize is a $10 voucher to spend in their on line store. 

I've coloured the image in with ProMarkers and the paper and embellishments are from the latest goodie bag from DoCrafts.

Dad's Birthday

Hi

Hope everyone's okay and having a nice weekend.  We've actually had no rain since Friday which for us is a bonus. We've not done to much this weekend, Paul had to get his hair cut so we went into Downham Market to do that and do our shopping yesterday.  Then last night we watched the Brtiains Got Talent Final which we really enjoyed.  Today Paul's watched the Grand Prix and I've been card making.  He's now trying to cut the grass.

It was my Dad's birthday on Friday, they live in Hull so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like too, especially as we've only just got a car after our car accident.  He seemed to have a nice day anyway which is a good thing.  I've done this card for him because they used  to live in Scarborough and it reminds me of that..  We all love it up there and near Whitby, but that was before I was born I think they only had my eldest two brothers then.  I could quite happily live near the sea.

Hope you all have a good week.

New Car/Birthday

Hi all

Just had to let you all know I'm so excited that at last we have a car after nearly 5 months without one in the middle of know where It's been a knightmere.  The Gap Insurance Company wouldn't pay out they only wanted to pay £312.00 which was a load of rubbish so our Finance Company ended up taking them to court.  So it finally went off our credit report a couple of weeks ago.  It's driven us mad.  Anyway thanks to Paul's step Dad Andrew he got a new car and we've bought his from him.  It's an 08 Renault Megan.

So it's my birthday today 1st May and Paul's got the day off work so we can actually go out for the day which will be lovely.  I'm so sick of seeing these 4 walls let me tell you.

Hope your all okay and haven't got too much rain.  It's been lovely here in Norfolk today but don't know how long that will last for.

Speak to you soon.

DDS #104 April Showers

Hi all

Well it's Team's Karen's turn for the Challenge this week for Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge Blog which is "April Showers".  So I hope you like my card, the images I've used are Country Pond and 1800 Vintage Dress.  I coloured my images in with Promarkers and I did two images of Country Pond.  I added the Vintage Dress ontop of the image then I coloured and cut out the flowers again added 3d foam pads on it then decoupaged them on top.  The backing paper is a paper from my new My Craft Studio cd rom, then added the saying and a gem to the card.  Which is very true at the moment considering we are supposed to be having a drought in our County and all it's done is rain each day.

Two new cards

Hi all

Hope your all okay. The weather here has been really weird all week. Yesterday we had hale stones and the shower lasted ages. It came down really hard and fast very odd. No rain today but I think we had some in the night. Mum and Dad live in Hull and they've had rain all day today it was driving them mad. Mum's been trying to go for a small walk each day after her hip operation so she couldn't go today.

I've added a couple more cards I've made along with my faithful assistant Hannah who is never to far away from me (bless her) even now she's layed on the lounge floor near me. Paul's on a late shift and is not back while about 11 pm. He's back at work today after doing his M.T. driving stint covering for the lads who are getting tanker driver training in case of the strike.
