My first challenges!!

I've finally got around to entering some challenges, hurrah!! I need there to be more hours in the day really, what with working full time and trying to find time for three hobbies (the card making of course, cycling and Spanish) my days (and nights) are full to say the least! Have to fit hubby in somewhere too, he he!!

Anyway, back to the challenge, here is the card.



Made with a cute Penny Black stickeroo (see the full sheets in my previous blog post) and lots of spotty bits and pieces!

I've entered it into two challenges:

1. The Penny Black Saturday Challenge (lots of dots)

2. The my time to craft vivid greetings challenge

And I've fathomed the linky thing, hurrah again!!

    Sorry I didn't catch up with you Wednesday but my eye just wouldn't allow it. It's a little better today so I'm trying to catch up on a few blogs.
    What a cute little cat. Good luck with the challenges.

    Ah muy bien - muy bonita! OK, I've done Spanish and am a better speaker than writer!! Doesn't change the fact of the nice card though - sweet colours. Of course, if you're too busy - drop the cycling and Spanish..the answer is staring me in the face!!

Here we are again on a dark and cold Wednesday morning! Had to wrap up warm to pop into the conservatory earlier to take the photo! It is still ok at the moment for crafting with the heater on, in fact it gets quite cosy, but not sure what it is going to be like when the temperatures tumble further over the next few days. Well, it's all a bit of a tip this week really! I'm thinking of getting rid of the sofa and getting a table instead seeing this is what it tends to get used for nowadays. You can see more of my glittery christmas trees in the foreground, I have had such fun making those. The card on the desk is a quickie card I made last night for a bereaved colleague (made with a lovely Penny Black Stamp). Really need a good tidy up now, but think I will finish off the Christmas cards (it will be nice to make something other than Christmas cards again!) and then have a good blitz. Bit of a quick post today as have to dash off to work. Pop over to see Julia at the Stamp...

WOYWW - 103

Morning fellow WOYWWers! Well I'm still struggling to balance work, new second home and card making, but I have managed to attend a couple of local classes recently and also managed to spend a couple of hours making cards on Sunday, hurrah! The results you can see on my desk. Feel like I've lost my mojo a bit though as because I haven't been at my desk for so long I can't remember where anything I need actually is, lol! A couple of photos of said house for you also now we have some furniture! The wood floor you can just about see in the photo of the living room is now sanded and is going to be varnished by my own (probably very sticky!) hands over the weekend! I'm also planning a bit of a revamp of the curtains in the same room although sewing really isn't my strong point. Will share the results if they aren't too bad ;-) So, if you have no idea what WOYWW is all about, pop over to Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground and check it out. PS APOLS TO ALL MY...

What's on your work desk Wednesday 61

Wednedsday again and I haven't posted since last Wednesday, oh dear I'm slipping! Despite having two days off work Monday and Tuesday I still don't seem to have done all that much crafting. I have been concentrating mainly though on a mini book for my Dad for his 70th and have completed six pages of that so I suppose that counts as at least six cards! It's not quite finished yet but I promise to share it when it is. It's the first scrapbook type thing that I've ever made, so not as professional looking as some I have seen, but hopefully he will like it. My craft space is getting messier by the day, it really needs a tidy up I think! I've taken a picture of the conservatory from the outside as a few people last week weren't familiar with the English love of these constructions! Ours is not a posh UPVC one though which the majoirity are, it is basically a wooden shack with windows, ha ha! For those of you who were concerned about me overheating last ...
