Hello All

Just sharing a little card I made for one of my brother in laws back in August.

The stamp was from create stamping and papers from stash.

Good news bad news time.

So bad news is my beautiful Frankie was ran over and killed. I found her in the road and I'm heartbroken, she was developing a lovely character.

And the goods news is my brother in law is making a fantastic recovery, there is still a long way to go but he is definitely on the mend.

A always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it.

Brushos and Gilding Flakes

Helloooo

Well I had a day off yesterday (instead of my usual Monday).

On Sunday I'd been creating some backgrounds with Brushos and Pixie powders and wanted to see the effect gilding flakes had on it.  

I love my Brushos but find them a little flat so I have 3 pixie powders I use to lift them a little may add some more if I find the colours I want. Or should I try my Mica Powders?

I used French Foliage by SU, the Hello was a free stamp from Creative Stamping and Gilding Flakes, I found using the Honey Doo mixed media glue easier to use, I loved the self cleaning lid!

(Question: Does anyone know where to buy the self cleaning plastic bottles/lids from?)

Silver Gilding Flakes

Gold Gilding Flakes

As always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it!

Funny story!

Hello all

I've had a great week off work, haven't done much just relaxed and crafted.

My husband dropped it on my again (Thursday) that we going to an Evening Reception on Friday. The little card below was already made lucky for me..lol anyway I ask him the couples name, I only know his name he says OK say I what's he's last name, can't remember he says.

So I have a brain wave and phone the hotel and explain the situation. They tell me her name is Sarah so feeling chuffed I write the card. 

Arrive at reception to find out the brides name is LISA!

The card returned home with me, not sure the inside can be saved.....we've laughed quite a bit!

Thanks for visiting, really appreciate it!

Nephew

Hi All

I've made these two cards for my nephew who had a couple of milestone moments.

He started a new job and purchased his first home.

The chocolate card was because he's gone to work for a well known chocolate company in Birmingham, the beer on the new home is just because I didn't know what to do for a male new home card...lol

Update on BIL, Wednesday they were discussing taking him off life support they were having a brain specialist visit on Friday but he came round a bit on Thursday so on Friday they gave him a tracheotomy but had to sedate him again so when we saw him Saturday he was a bit drowsy again but the nurse said something very interesting in the fact that the anaesthetic is slow leaving his system because he is on dialysis, which never crossed our minds.
He also had a good result on the Glasgow Score.
Just so glad they never rushed into any drastic decisions. 
Still baby steps.

Thanks for dropping by!
