I Thank You

Good Morning

My Crafty Friend, Followers and Visitors,

Well it's the start of another week, anyone getting up to anything special.

I believe its half term here in the UK so I guess most of you will be taking

a break from work and looking after the children.  Probably by the end

of the week wishing for Monday to come to get the children back in

school and you back to normal.

I see that my little band of followers is growing steadily and hopefully

soon I will be up to 70.  If you have started following me and

I have not returned a visit to your blog, it's more than likely that

I don't have your blog address. Please leave me it in your

comments as I do want to start following you all.

Off to Mums today to check everything is ok and hopefully weather

permitting clean her outside windows, quite easy really as she lives

in a bungalow.

Not wanting to speak to soon but my back seems to be getting a little better

and I have been thinking  about what could have brought it on and the 

only thing that I can think of is back in January I  have to go and get

my blood pressure checked and they found my cholesterol was quite high

and told me they were going to put me on Statins. I have never heard of

them but they help lower cholesterol but I was told if I started having

headaches, joint pains or feeling very tired to stop taking them and

go back.  Well I have been having headaches, falling asleep at the 

drop of a hat and of course the pain in my back started.

So I thought Jennifer stop taking the dam things and that was

last Thursday and the pain is defiantly getting easier and I am

not falling asleep as soon as I sit in the armchair, although I do fall

asleep later in the evening but that is something I have done for

years, No Comments about OLD AGE Thank You  ha ha !!!.

Boy I do waffle on don't I, sorry folks but I just wanted to bring

you up to speed and promise to SHUT UP.

Today's make is again using the Kanban kit, I think its breading

in the box as it does not seem to be going down but then it

is a lovely kit to work with.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x8 card and made it into an easel card

2. Using paper from Craftwell Cards paper pad I covered the

bottom and top of the card.

3. Using the Kanban topper I mounted it onto the card using

foam pads. I added a paper border also from the kit along

the top.

4. I added (one of my favourite sentiments) There is nothing

Special about this card except the person holding it

made a stopper out of silver mirri board and added

the sentiment Thank You to it.

There you have it finished - what's that I hear you say

about time she shut up waffling.

Hope you can call back tomorrow and I promise it will not

be an essay.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Get Well

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope you are all well and bet you  are glad it's Friday, my how the weeks

are flying by.

Quick post today as have to get off to mums for the usual domestic chores,

walking the dog and getting lunch ready.  Then I will most likely  get

home and crash out in the  chair or back pain permitting go into my craft room.

Today's card is again using the Kanban  kit. as I am determined to use it up.

Hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Made an A5 card from white card stock then matted

with blue card.

2. The next layer is the backing paper that goes with

the image, next pink plain card and I have gone

round the edges using a silver marker.

3. Image then placed on the pink card at an angle 

and then adhered to the card.

How easy is this? The kit is so versatile and is so easy to

use to make some fab cards.

Hope to see you all back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Thank You

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope your weekend is going the way you planned?

A very warm welcome to Kate who is another new follower,
I am truly grateful to you all, I know I have said it before
but to have your support really really means a lot to me and
I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart.

Busy day today as I have DT work to sort out and want to get

on with some colouring.  So that means a day in the craft room for me.

After doing a spot of tidying the cupboard in my craft room last week

I came across a box and found it contained a load of Kanban kits, so

I have decided to make a few cards using some of it, seeing as I have

had the kit since January 2013, it's about time don't you think ,hehe.

There will be about 4 to start with over the next few days and here is

the first.  Apologies for the picture as its not very good, showing to dark
the colour is a lot lighter lilac. Well I never claimed to be David Bailey.

DETAILS

1. Base card is 8 x 8 and to this I have added a piece of

backing paper from The cottage garden paper pad by

Craftwork Cards.

2. Before adhering  to the base I wrapped two pieces of 

organza ribbon horizontally and vertically onto the 

backing paper and then created the chocolate  box

bow.

3. The topper is out of the Kanban collection and all

      I have done is add foam pads to give some dimension.

To complete the sentiment (Thank You) again part of the

collection has been added to the top.

There you have it, quick make but think it's quite elegant,

what do you think?

That's all for today my friends, hope to see you back

tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting
