Tired with all that running around!!

Well a day off!! no running up and down the M62!! well not until tomorrow any way!! I spent some of this morning visiting peoples WoYWW, but haven't finished yet...

so had a bit of a play, finished the Crafty Characters card I was making yesterday...

Cant wait to see her reaction, but I'll have to duck the Rock cakes she'll throw, hence the buns in the piccy lol


My Craft Studio Artists Collection, Crafty Characters Disk, for the image, various added images from the internet of crafting machines that I know she has, such as the Grand Calibur, Silhouette SD, and Black Cat cougar, Spellbinders Iron Works Accents border die and Anemone and Daisy Flower Topper dies, some Papermania blue paper, lost the front sheet so don't know which collection but its a floral, some card and ribbon from the stash!! The edges were punched with the X-cut 4cm Border Scallop punch, and MCS Snow embellishment was used around the edge of the cloud. Added a couple of bits of thin ribbon, and glazed some of the decoupage for extra umpf.


Next up was a Topper I found in my Scraps stash, don't know what I intended to do with it originally, but its from My Craft Studio Walk in Winter Wonderland CD2 .I used MCS Frost embellishment glitter, with a quickie Glue pen, to "Ice" the Frosting on the Bauble, cut a Holly Border Matt on the Silhouette, on some graduated green card, and used Ink It Up Kelley Green Pigment ink to colour the edges a bit more. The I routed one of My Hunky Dory Square Frame Cards out, and again distressed it using the Kelley Green, added a bit of Ribbon from my stash and hey presto, a Pretty little card.

Right I have to head off to bed, for another run up and down the M62 tomorrow!!! Why did DD have to decide to move so far away, yet still want Mum, so much? Well she'll be out of luck next week, I'm of Down the M62 to show a friend how to use the Silhouette, then off to the NEC, YIPPEE!!

Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday

Well, this has to be quick as I didnt think I was going to be able to craft let alone post!

I belong to the My Craft Studio Platinum Members club, and when they released the Crafty Characters disk, a few weeks ago we all said that we would make cards for each other from them. everyone else seems to have forgotten, so I am going to remind them all heheh!
This is a card I started last night and will finish tonight I hope!! 
so Images from the My Craft Studio Crafty Characters disk, flowers made from the spellbinders Shape-abilities Daisy Flower Topper, and Anemone Flowers Topper dies, border made using Iron Work Accents, on some Papermania, blue patterned paper, I have lost the cover, so I cant tell you which one it is, some Papermania Flower gems, in blue, and that's about it, will have a peek at everyone's desk later, as I really have to dash back off up and down the M62 again, 3 days this week, of upping and downing!!


And if you have no idea what on earth I am doing, posting a half completed card design, then why not pop over to Julias Blog Here, and see what its all about, its great fun, a source of inspiration, and a wonderful chance to rummage in others craft rooms
