Wishing you a happy New Year!!!

Hi,
Hope you all had a really great Christmas.  I wanted to pop on and say that I am going to pick my crafting up in the New Year and hopefully will have some things to share.  I have not been crafting at all lately and miss it terribly...  We are about to have some work done on the house... new bathroom and some work done else where... and in amongst all of this I am going to take over the cupboard under the stairs (currently used for junk and kids toys), decorate it out, put in new shelving/cupboards and turn it into a walk in craft cupboard.  Finding the right cupboards and how I am going to store my crafting is actually proving abit of a challenge... but somewhere the perfect idea is lurking waiting for me to pounce on it!!!! ha!  I am so sick  of having everything spread out around the house, some in this room and some in another... Everything needs a place... and although my OH would like me to throw all my crafting out and be done with it...  it is going to have it's own space too!!!!
Anyway, Happy New Year... hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you all!
Hugs

Mojo Monday 215

Hi,
It's been ages since I blogged... infact I haven't done a lot of crafting either... I am now very behind with my Christmas cards... am hoping for some free afternoons later in the week!
Still don't have my laptop working... think I am going to need to buy a new one!!! I miss it terribly, just can't seem to get to grips with this desktop... and I have to sit in Steve's room too!!!
Anyway, this evening I had a play after sorting abit of stuff out ready for my sessions and took inspiration from a sketch over at Mojo Monday... really enjoyed playing along! Don't you just love that DCWV paper!!!
Will hopefully be back tomorrow evening with something to show for my freed up afternoon...
I have been making lists to get myself organised for 'getting ready for Christmas' ... list after list after list... serves me right, I should have made a planner, I usually do!
Take care,
Hugs

Having a Play!!!!

Hey...
Hope you are well and happy.
Still don't have my laptop fixed... I feel so lost without it!!!! Anyway, I thought I would take the opportunity with the house being empty to show you what I have been playing with lately...

I am trying to make some Christmas cards... We seem to send out loads these days, so I am leaving my 'special family' cards for a while and just concentrating on making all the others. I really want to get them done a bit earlier this year!!!!

I have been playing with my Cuttlebug and dies... I love the snowflakes and christmas tree's... and I have been digging out old patterned paper that I get out each year and don't use!!! The trees are in some lovely Doodlebug paper that I have had forever... I did one scrapbook page with some and just left the rest... I think it works nicely on these cards...




These I did with some mulberry paper that I found in the same box... it was one of those impulse buys that I thought looked pretty but never actually had a use for!!!





And these were jusing some bits and bobs too.... I seem to have a whole pile of stuff that I have no idea where they came from at all!!!!




I also crocheted my daughter a headband, I knitted her a blue one too, but I couldn't find that one to take a picture!!! There seem to be alot around the shops at the moment... trouble is she wants one in every colour!!!! Luckily they don't take long to make!




I also crocheted her this little bag... she is forever taking books and magazines to read in the car, so I crocheted her this to carry them in and out of the house, instead of us finding a whole pile on the back seat!!!



And lastly, I had a play at a making an ornament picture with buttons... found it on a challenge site that I have forgotten about at the beginning of the summer holidays... it was fun to do, just need to stitch some ribbon on it so that I can hang it up when Christmas gets nearer!






Hope you are finding time to play too.

Take care

Hugs

Catching up!





Hi,
Hope you have been having a lovely summer... I have been enjoying having my children around, though I think they are ready to go back to school now...
The bad news is my laptop seems to have a serious problem... looks like I am going to have to find somewhere to take a look at it... I miss it like mad. I hardly use our main computer (it is impossible to get onto, to be honest)!!!!!
I do have some crafting pictures to share with you... I am hoping to get back on here tonight to upload the pictures and share what I have been doing!
In my browsing I discovered this lovely blog called Scrappin' For Kenzie... lovely scrapbook layouts if you want a browse and you could check out the giveaway (pic below) which looks incredible... finishes today so you best be quick!!!!



The weather here is dull and we have a trip to the dentist this afternoon, lets hope the rain holds off.... then we can have a walk along the beach!!!
Hope it's sunny where you are... will be back later with some crafting!

Cards for Men...

Good morning...
I always seem to struggle with cards for men, mostly because I never have anything in my stash suitable... I need to buy stuff with this in mind more often... My inspiration for this card came from Cards for Men, the challenge being to use a key. I will remember to follow this challenge from now on, I need a supply of male cards!



The children break up today... I just hope the weather is going to be a bit more child-friendly from now on... I am hoping to go looking for a bit of Christmas stash, get them making their Christmas cards... it's ok leaving a few for a pre-Christmas crafting session but it's such hard work if they have many to make and I swear my two send cards to nearly everyone!!!! I have noticed a few Christmas cards appearing now so I'm not the only one... I was still making the odd one last year the week before... I am determined to be more organised!!!! Plus it's an excuse for a crafting shopping trip... if I pick the right shops the children actually enjoy it (although it costs me twice as much!!!!).


Hope it's bright and sunny where you are... hasn't made it's mind up here yet!!!!

Sketch Thursday - 7.14

Hi,
Have been playing with some old papers this morning... inspiration for this layout came from Sketch Thursday 7.14... I have only to fill in the journaling but I can't seem to find a suitable pen...
Nice and simple... the days when it was easy to occupy them all day... suddenly now they are bored after 20 minutes whatever we do... Mine break up for the summer on Thursday, as I have a few things to do tomorrow I decided that today would be a quiet me-day and I am enjoying having a play. I will be back with a card or two later.
Hope you are having a good day too.
Take care
Hugs

I'm back!!!

Hi,
Today I made a card... I haven't really been doing much crafting lately... My OH has been totally stressing me out... I'm not going to get all personal here because my blog is about my crafting, lets just say that I need to get back into my crafting for some relief and just maybe I will stay sane through out all this!!! Life can be such hard work sometimes and I am feeling very low at the moment!

Anyway, the card... inspired by a sketch I found when browsing. The blog is Kathy's Waffle Sketch File. The card is for an Aunt, but the photo really doesn't do it justice... the faded image of the cottage is really sweet!


As I am sorting through my crafting, I am finding some lovely papers that I had forgotten about... I have found some wonderful goodies that I am keen to have a play with...

I also found some bits of old wool that I have been making into little doily mats for my daughters room which she loves... I am actually trying to teach her to crochet but of course, as she is 10 she is full of enthusiasm but a little short on patience. By the end of the summer I am sure she will have it!



This is a blanket that I am crocheting like mad for our next camping trip... we went away last weekend to try our new tent and it was 100% easier than our last one. I am not really a camping person, but my kids love it... We now have camp beds, carpet and I am getting to grips with the limited kitchen facilities. The weather was absolutely gorgeous... lets hope it's like that when we go away again!!!



I have also made my own version of a Smash book, which I couldn't find to take a photo to include in this post... must be upstairs somewhere... I am really enjoying playing with that. Somewhere to finally put all those little tickets and things that I keep!


Now I am going to do a little more of my blanket... hope you are well and happy. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Take care

Hugs

Posting these again... a card and a scrapbook layout

Hi,
Well, I don't know what happened to yesterdays post... so I am reposting... for some reason I haven't been able to get on blogger all day... obviously some kind of glip!!!!
Anyway, here is my card... I discovered Sweet Sketch Wednesday and just had to play along... lovely blog, if you haven't already you should check it out!


I also enjoyed playing with this scrap booking page... inspiration came from Sketch Thursday... it was actually last weeks sketch, but I really wanted to have a go... I really need to get stuck into some scrapbooking...



Well.... as I said, don't know what happened to this post from Thursday... very odd!!!

A card and a scrapbook layout!

Hi,
Well, this is what I have been playing with this morning. The inspiration for this card came from Sweet Sketch Wednesday # 101... Great sketch... lovely challenge blog well worth checking out.


The inspiration for the Scrapbook LO came from Sketchy Thursday # 5.5... ... too late to be in this weeks challenge, but what a great sketch... I just had to have a play! The pictures are from the beach in Looe, Cornwall... beautiful place! I had fun with this page... I love the flowers and had the paper in a kit someone sent me in a UKS swap... very pretty! I haven't done the journalling because I couldn't find the right pen to do it in... so I figure that will have to wait until I get one!



Someone has nicked the sun today... glad I am indoors playing with my crafting toys... and have made a lovely chocolate cake for later too. (I'm trying to ignore the ironing today!!!!).

Thanks for stopping by... hope you have a lovely day.

Sketch Saturday #154

Hi,
Well, I haven't done much crafting at all lately... I have been crocheting a shawl which I am almost finished... have bought some lovely wool to play with... other than that I seem to spend far too much time browsing on the internet...
However, this morning I have been playing... made a card... inspiration came from Sketch Saturday # 154... had fun playing along... hoping to have another play tomorrow...



The sun is shining beautifully here today... really I should have done some work in the garden... never mind... Sometimes you just HAVE to play with the paper, don't you? I have been trying to sort out my photo's from our little Easter Holiday in the Lakes, I am hoping to do some scrapbooking, but realise I need a new scrapbook... there are so many lovely ones around, I actually gave up earlier because I either didn't want to pay that much or couldn't decide which one... too much choice isn't always a good thing, is it???

Anyway, better get on...

Mojo Monday... 188

Hi,
Well, as always nothing goes to plan, does it? Didn't have a crafting day yesterday... but I grabbed a couple of hours last night... and I played along with the sketch on Mojo Monday 188.
I made this for my sister's wedding anniversary... I made her wedding cake, it was a bit bigger than this though... had quite a few tiers and a fountain, and a LOT of handmade sugar flowers... I loved it... probably my favourite wedding cake I have made!!! Anyway... great sketch... enjoyed playing...

Then I made this one for my nephew... he is football and gaming mad!!!! The Papers are from a Smirk pack I bought... brilliant papers for boys cards!!!! My mum donated the sticker in the middle...


So today is my mum's birthday and she is coming round for dinner tonight... I forgot to take a photo of the card I made for her... I got her crafting vouchers... very useful!!! Now I am off to make cake for tonight... still trying to decide what type of cake to make... hoping for some inspiration when I walk into the kitchen!
Hope the sun is shining where ever you may be... it's lovely here... bit chilly out of the sun... but gorgeous!!!!
Hugs

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hi,
Firstly, I haven't had any time for crafting... today is the first time in an age that I have had any time to myself to get my toys out... And this is what I made... inspired by a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches... I had fun with this it's an unusual sketch for a non-christmas card!!!

I have a couple of new cuttlebug dies to play with tomorrow... so I will be back with more, I have cards I need to make for the weekend!!!
Hope you had a good Easter! We had a great Easter... we spent 4 days in the Lakes coming back the Thursday before Good Friday and the weather was amazing!!! Didn't expect such warm weather so we took all the wrong clothes!!! It's so beautiful up there and I took lots of photos so hopefully that will inspire me to do some scrapbooking. Then my sister and her family came to visit and that was fun too... today I have been catching up on washing and housework... tomorrow I am having a day to play!!!!!
Anyway, am suddenly really tired...
Thank you for stopping by...

Cute Card Thursday!

Hi, Just a quick one today... hand still giving me a bit of a problem when crafting... I have made a card... this is for a couple that are renewing their wedding vows... The challenge that gave me inspiration to actually make it a week and a half early (thats me being organized!!!)... came from Cute Card Thursday... the theme this week is Couples... some lovely DT cards... I had fun playing along although it took me longer than usual!!! Can't believe how miserable the weather is this week... and it's dark when I get up in the morning now!!! Roll on the summer!!!! Hope you have a lovely weekend. Hugs Kim x

Mojo Monday # 184

Hi, My card today is for someone who is handbag-mad!!!! My inspiration came from the sketch over at Mojo monday #184, I enjoyed playing along...
Only thing is I seem to have done something to my hand as I was doing housework yesterday... (always knew it was bad for me!!!!) ... luckily my left hand... but everything hurts... using scissors is a nightmare... yes, I use the scissors in my right hand but holding whatever it is I am cutting really hurts!!! I have a rather nasty bruise and am hoping that is all it is and it goes away!!! But it's amazing what you can do with just one hand... but it is amazing how you rely on the back up of the other one, isn't it? Peeling vegetables is a no-no... I also realised that I am too independent about household chores and cooking... my family are just not being trained properly... the hassle we had yesterday over them peeling a few potatoes!!!! I put the carrots back in the fridge!!!! it just wasn't worth the hassle!!!! My OH really is useless in the kitchen, I know I always say it but mainly because he never helps... but he really is useless!!!

Anyway, am off to attempt some ironing... really I should probably rest it, but I am rubbish at sitting still doing nothing... I cannot sit and just watch tv... I have to be doing something at the same time!!!

Take care

Hugs

Friday Sketchers # 146

Hi,
Have been busy this week... only time I have had for crafting I have used to crochet more flowers for my flower blanket! However this morning I had a play as I need a card for my friends Dad... he is always getting roped into DIY especially now he is retired!!! My inspiration came from Friday Sketchers #146... great sketch... the papers I used are October Afternoon... gorgeous!!!!


I am hoping to find some time tomorrow... I need to make another couple of cards for next week...
Hope the weather is as lovely where you are as it is here today... the sun is definately smiling! My cat is in his element... he is out worshiping the sun... you can actually see him smiling back!!!
Take care

Friday Sketchers #145

Hi,
Hope you are happy and feeling well.
I have been having a play... the inspiration for this card came from Friday Sketchers #145 sketch... gorgeous! Beautiful DT cards... This is using some bits from my scrapbox... not a 12x12 in sight when I was making this one... yay!!!!!

I used one of my flowers that I made with one of my new Marianne creatable dies that I got with some of my birthday money... really enjoyed making them... below is picture of all the ones I made... want to dig out some different types of papers and have another go later... I think they are very pretty, but I need to get some more ribbon!!! Suddenly all my ribbon seems wide!!!



These are the butterflies... I actually had a few more but DD came along and suddenly had cards to make for school friends!!!! and my pile got smaller!!!


This week I decided to make my take on my Grandma's Victoria Sandwich cake... will be baking cupcakes tomorrow... somehow I have got roped into baking cupcakes for the school for fridays Red Nose Day...



Anyway, have a couple more Marianne dies to play with this afternoon. Hope you are having a great day.
Take care,
Hugs

Mojo Monday 181

Hi,
Goodness me, it's cold and windy here today... was going out but decided to stay in and play instead... I am trying to use up stuff in my scrapbox again... this card was inspired by a gorgeous sketch on Mojo Monday - #181 ... some lovely DT cards ...

Yesterday I made Chocolate and Vanilla cupcakes... yummy... they don't last long in our house so I am always lucky if I manage to get a picture!!!!

I am now going to have a play with a new Marianne creatable die cut I got this morning...
Stay warm!

Catching up!

Hi,
Well, last week didn't quite go as planned... First, we had a virus from hell on the other computer, then OH had his bank card cloned and money taken out of his account in Argentina???!!! Then his mother finally lost the plot!!! To be fair, they are having loads of problems with sorting out their house after an electric fire blew up in their living room, but she won't let anyone help (says they are interfering!!!) but seems to make it worse herself all the time!!! Steve is tearing his hair out (not that he has a lot,ha!!!!!). The whole thing (after it dragging out five weeks and them having to move out of their home into a hotel) has got so out of hand, it is making her ill and more eccentric than she normally is!!!!
Anyway, enough of that! I haven't done much crafting really... made this card for an Aunt...


this one for my cousins son... my attempt at being groovy... ha!!!


And, finally I had some peace and quiet last night and started crocheting these flowers, which I intend to put together to make a throw!


My birthday was a bit of a no-go-er because of all the problems with OH's Mum, but I do have some birthday money to spend on crafting stash... and my mum is going to take myself and the children out next weekend for lunch at one of our favourite eating places as a late birthday treat! So I am looking forward to that...
Gosh, it seems cold this morning... off to turn up the heating I think....
Take care.

Finished my mini book at last!!!

Hi,
Well, my son ended up having the sickness bug that my daughter had over the weekend... (that school is sooooo disease ridden!!!!)... so less crafting time than I had originally hoped for... They have both spent time this morning making birthday cards for my OH and myself for next week... strangely enough we share the same day... when he first told me this I thought he was kidding... but no, although he is two years older than me, we actually do have the same birthday on 2nd March... weird eh???? It has it's good points... he's never going to forget my birthday, is he????

I managed to finish my mini-book of our holiday in Cornwall... I would show you pictures of the inside pages too, but my camera battery went dead and is now charging in the kitchen... typical!!!
I have also finished my cross stitch my stocking shaped house... I will post a picture of that tomorrow. I am so pleased with it, it's so cute. I don't really want to do it as an actual stocking because we have loads so I think I am going to make it into a cushion cover... will have to see!!!
Am hoping to have some time for a card or two later... hope you are having a happy sunny day.
Take care.

Sketch Saturday 143

Hi,
Hope the weather is better where you are. It is just so miserable and dark here... typical school holidays weather!!!!!
Yesterday I actually found time to make cards... the first one, I was inspired by Sketch saturdays #143 sketch... I actually want to put a glittery age on it... you know when you know you have something but you can't find it????? So irritating...

The second one, just kind of came together... I am trying to use scraps from my scrap box... why is it so much easier to chop my lovely 12x12's!!!! I am trying to make more use of my stash too, I sat and sorted out all my flowers yesterday... and better use of my tools... I am cutting some stuff out on my cuttlebug and cricut in plain colours in hope that I can use them more often... When I ooh and ahh over new stuff and new tools, my OH is always pointing out that I am supposed to use these things after I buy them... ha! yeah, he does think he is being funny too!!!

Well the kids are off school this week, so crafting time will probably include my daughter... I have a couple of things in mind for us to do... I also want to finish a mini-book I started last year, this I am hoping to do this afternoon... I am hoping to whizz round in a minute and do my chores...
Hope you have a great day... Thank you so much for dropping by...
Hugs

Our Creative Corner - Branch Out challenge

Hi,
I found a lovely new challenge blog as I was browsing and it inspired me to make my 2nd Christmas card of the year... I seem to be getting mixed up with doing one a week and one a month!!!!!! Anyway... the blog is called Our Creative Corner and the theme is Branch Out... This card was really quick because the paper is pretty busy but the embellies are so simple! I don't know where I got these christmas trees from.. I wish I knew because I love them!!!!


My daughter swam in her first swimming Gala yesterday and came second... so I am proud mum today... I did bake some of my own version of Red Velvet cupcakes yesterday but they ate them before I had a chance to take a piccie... vulchers!!!!!
I have been sorting through some old stickers and embellishments which I want to try and use on some cards... thats how I found the Christmas trees and Tag for the above card... I found some real treasures... hopefully they will appear on some cards soon!!!
Anyway, need to get on with the ironing!!!
Take care

Mojo Monday 177

Hi,
Yaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!! Back on my laptop, all in working order again... can't tell you how much I have missed it!!!!
Anyway, my card is for my cousin... inspiration from the sketch over at Mojo Monday #177... what a fabbie sketch this week!!!! I loved it... was perfect for the image I wanted to use on Molly's card!

I haven't done much in the way of crafting... my children caught a horrible flu like cold from school both ended up having at lease one day off school... then OH got it... of course his was much worse!!!!! He also had a day off work... now I have it... and I still have to soldier on as normal... no days off for mummy!!!!! I still have to get up at 6.45am each morning and do all the normal things... feeling very sorry for myself at the moment... I promised myself 15 minutes with a cup of tea this afternoon so that I can do this and an early bed tonight!!!!!

Last week I made more cupcakes... the first photo are Strawberry Cupcakes... they were very yummy!!!! Very morish!!! I only got 1... I know I am supposed to be cutting down but really...!!!


Then I made Chocolate Orange cupcakes with chocolate fudge icing... again very yummy... Daddy has a sulk if I go too long without making something with chocolate in!!!


I am still battling on with my daughters blanket... will soon be finished now...
Anyway off to finish my cup of tea...
Hope you are well and happy... Thank you so much for dropping by...

Mojo Monday... and my laptop has no internet!!!!!

Hi,
This week I am lost as my laptop has no internet... I feel disconnected... I am having to use the desktop... and it feels so weird (like 'oooh, this is what it used to be like.... stuck in the backroom with no tv and comfy chair!!!!'). I'm not happy... I'm also not a computer geek... I hate to say it but I need OH to help me sort it out, and that won't get done until next week. A whole weekend of fighting to get on here... I can't tell you how much I miss my laptop, it's almost ridiculous!!!!
Anyway, enough of me moaning about that... I have a little time to myself tonight... OH working and the kids have gone to a party, so I grabbed the computer quick... I swear this chair is never empty when everyone is home!!!! My card today is inspired by Mojo Monday 175 sketch... I enjoyed making this card, the papers are gorgeous and I've been admiring and stroking them long enough... time to use them I think!!!! It came from a pad called 'Summer Bloom'... and the background is Anna Griffin...


I have also been baking cupcakes again... the picture is of some 'Bakewell cupcakes'... my son's favourites, I did make some pineapple cupcakes but I wasn't quick enough with the camera to take a piccie!!!! Cupcakes don't last long in our house!!!!




I am still crocheting... I have finished the bright coloured blanket for my son, and have now started a pretty pink, lilac and blue one for my daughter... keeping me busy, but I'm not getting any cards made!!!! I had a trip to Hobbycraft this morning with my mum... I was only going along for the ride (like you do!) and somehow a DCWV pad insisted it came home with... my excuse is that I need some inspiration to get me scrapbooking again... it's the 'Club Mediterranean'. It was actually reduced to half price.... Bargain!!!!
Hope you have a lovely weekend,
Take care

Mojo Monday

Hi,
Well, finally I feel more myself again... I have made another one of my birthday cards for next weeks' birthdays... inspiration came from Mojo Monday sketch # 174. What a fun sketch! The image is from some decoupage type images my mum gave me... I love this pink glitter card, it nearly killed me to cut it up and use it... so pretty and shiny!!!


The card is for my cousin... she is always saying everything is such a rush and she hardly has time to think... so I thought this image was perfect!!!! Nothing like a relaxing soak in the bath as a treat!!!
Other thing I did yesterday was bake some Vanilla Cupcakes... yummy!!!! I didn't do my usual icing piped swirl, someone has nicked off with my stool in the kitchen and I couldn't reach the piping stuff, so I lazily made a bag with the greased proof paper and did it that way!!!! They don't last two minutes in our house... I made 12 yesterday afternoon and there are 4 left now. I have a new recipe to try for some strawberry ones this weekend...



Anyway, we have my OH at home this weekend... this I am sure means that I will have very little time to craft... I need to get some more wool to continue on with the blanket - I'm determined to finish that next week, then start one for my daughter... can't do one without the other, can we???
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Hugs
Kim
