Hi all,

Below is half a card that I had started before getting sick. These I am thinking of doing as my thank you cards. So I have about four half made cards sitting on my cardmaking desk. What do you think? Are they boring, too plain or ok?. I must admit in real life the colours are a little darker. But since it's still raining (I swear we've had 3 days of sunshine since the beginning of March!!!)I had to scan the card. I have used bazzil, bazzil dot, & plain card for the construction of this card. The buttons, ribbon & Kindy glitz is the only other things that I have added. I used my Copics to colour the housemouse image. I am trying to keep the colours gender neutral since we don't know what Bug is yet.



Well after two weeks of antibiotics, ventalin & cough syrup. I am finally on the mend. I have gone from a chest infection to what I describe as a bad cold. I even got the ok from my obst, yesterday. Which is such a relief. Consindering I hate taking medicines whilst preggers, I wont even take a panadol for a headache unless I am made to! Today is really the first time in ages that I have felt like doing stuff. I've have been so tired & icky that it's all I can do to get up in the morning. Em though has ben having a great time with her two sets of grandparents on the coast. She has had a sleep over at my Stepmum & Dad's place & then dh's dad & partner have had her for a few days, plus she has been going to preprep as well.

Today we all had a sleep in, which was wonderful. Since getting up I have taken Em's new curtains up so they aren't sitting on the floor. It was a quick job, but I have litterally haven't had the energy to do them. It helped that Doug took them off the rods & then put them back for me.

Well I'm off to do stuff while I feel I can ;) TTFN

Mojo Monday sketch plus a show & tell

Hi all,

I've had a very productive day today (see below for my first post). I decided to make a card for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge here & this is what I came up with. I'm not worried I didn't make the deadline, as I had fun making this card.


I thought I would do a show & tell so you can see one of my scrappy cards being made. I know every one probably does this but thought what the heck, lets give this a go ;). I cut out a dark scrap of c/s slightly larger than the light c/s. I wasn't worried that there would be a chunk missing from one side. As you can see I had used this piece for other projects. Unfortunately the second pic is on it's side the computer is having a hissy fit - must be the heat. But you get the idea of what the scraps look like attached to a card base.


I then repeated the above step for the smaller pieces again not worrying about a chunk missing from the side.

As you can see below the "missing bits" are completely covered by the ovals. I then added all the extra little bits & bobs at the end.


Thank you so much for sticking through this post till the end. Have a wonderful week full of crafty fun - TTFN
