Hi Everyone,

As you can tell it has been months since i last blogged. To cut a long story short i have made the decision to down size my craft stuff!!

I will be selling a lot of stuff and will place it on my blog with pics as well for you all to see. The chance to grab yourself a bargain or two!!

Please pass this on the as many people as possible as i need to get shot of this stuff.
I will post this out to you and you can pay via pay pal or cheque.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and i will do another blog with some bits as and when i sort though my craft room.

Thanks
Eve

IM BACK!!!

2009-07-03T22:32:00.000+01:00

Hi All

I have been away for a long time!
Alot has been happening since i last posted, i have moved house and started a new job so as you can imagine everything is up in the air at the moment and this means i have not had the chance to make any cards in the last 2 months. Slowly as things get sorted i will start up again.
Just thought i would all let you know that i am still here

Had a rather busy time

2009-03-29T17:19:00.001+01:00

Hi All

I have been a bit busy recently and have not had the chance to craft!

My lovely OH broke his arm on monday night and since then everything has been up in the air.
We are off on holiday next sunday for 2 weeks so sorting this out had been a nightmare as he was driving and we where going abroad so now it up to me.

Im still not sure if i will get a chance between now and then, but as soon as i have done something i will be back

Dotties World Challenge

2009-03-07T20:05:00.010Z

Hi All

Over on Dotties World this week it was Juliet's time to set the challenge and this is what she came up with....

"I don't know about you, but when my mojo has beggared off I often find inspiration from browsing photographs, so I decided to use this photograph of yummy looking cupcakes for the challenge this week. You can take whatever you like from the photograph: you could focus on the colours, use a cupcake on your work or make a cupcake shaped card - it's up to you. You must include one of the Charmed downloads on your project"

So with a little bit of thought this is what i came up with using the colours from the picture

Hope you all like it

See you soon

As a added little bonus, everyone that takes part will get an exclusive dottie image

Good Evening all

After a couple of weeks not being able to do this i thought, Right im going to do it this week and then i saw it....."So, use at least one of your neglected papers as the main element of your project and any of the Charmed Downloads, and remember.........BE HONEST!"
And i thought oh poo!!!!!!!!!!

Well i tried it and i have to say that i love the outcome of it.....

I cant even remember where this paper come from but have never known what to do with it.

To make it a bit harder for myself i also use a dottie image i have never used before. So 2 new things....

Here is the outcome

Have to say i now think it is one of my fav dottie and george card i have made to date.

Hope you all like it.
