On A Roll

Well I have certainly been a little bit more motivated these last few days than I have for weeks.

I have been "on a roll" last night and tonight making more than 6 cards (beleive me this is lot for me at the moment).

My first one was a three fold christmas card one inspired by a demonstration at my local craft store, The Range.

This one is a decoupage kit that my fantastic friend Maria trreated me too, and I am loving it. Unsure as what to do to make it a little different but I had a go!!










I also did the dove in the decoupage too. i love this card.












Trying to also do more than christmas cards I have doen a dream big card for my friends mum's birthday. Trying to be inspirational.












And last but not least I have done a totally out of character masculine christmas card. I was extremely impressed with the outcome of this and am defiantely going to use more "way Out" patterns from now on.









Well today has been a long one, and I'm off to make another couple of cards and then Bed for the well deserved (and well earned) sleep needed before my brain overloads with all the ideas that seem to be popping out of it at the moment.

Halloween

Well I began this blog in good faith, and have, in all honesty, not had time to post on it. I am, however going to make a bit more of an effort.

A lot has been happening lately, our chickens, who were ill are now better and back to laying 9 eggs a day.........................thank goodness, or phil was going to cull them :-( and the veg are coming on leaps and bounds in my NEW greenhouse (it's a hand me down but it is very very useful). My pear tree is unfortunately being attacked by the wind and is not fairing too well, but with a bit of luck it will get through it.

I am madly trying to organize my Halloween Party and this is the thing that seems t be taking up most of my time. I am going to post pics on here, as and when I dod things, firstly are my invites. I have had the idea from tara's blog for my invites - I absolutley love this idea, so that is my first venture. I have teabagged some plain paper tongiht and creased it, to age/distress it and it is currently drying on the radiator. I am going to rip it into sections and put it on the card to look like mummy bandages, similar to the one on Tara's blog. I have loads and loads of ideas, helped along by my good friend Maria at Goldcatsstampingheaven and I will post them on one by one as I do them.........got to go and get rest now

bye for now
