New Beginnings

Good evening peeps

Why is it that you can never get through Christmas and New Year without being ill.  I have managed to pick up a viral infection which is likely to sick around until after the new year.  I'm not ill very often, so when I am, it knocks me out.


Anyway, I have been able to sit quietly and make a quick clean and simple card today.  I have given it the theme of new beginnings in the colours of red, brown and white.


Materials used are:

White card stock
Brown Centura Pearl card stock
Red Centura Pearl card stock
Lattice embossing folder
Crafters Companion Edge'ables Butterfly Dreams die
Brown ribbon
Red Dazzler
Red gemstones


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Other materials used are:

Snowflakes

Good evening peeps

I have finally got my new contract signed at work, after fighting for it the last two weeks.  January is always a hard month and every year, we are told that all colleagues can only work their contracted hours.  That would leave me with 6 hours short every week, which I can't afford.  After getting spoken to like a piece of rubbish by one of the Section Leaders, the only option was to take it down the official route with one of the higher Managers.  It's not a surprise that 10 minutes after speaking to him, my Manager had a contract ready to sign.  It should not have got that far.


Anyway, tonight's card to another order.  I decided to go down the die cut route in blue and white colours.


Materials used are:

White card stock
Blue card stock
Double sided adhesive sheets
Patterned digital paper
Memory Box Distressed Snowdrift Collage die set
Heartfelt Creations Arianna Lace die set
Marianne Design Creatables Swedish Ice Star die set

Number One Grandson

Evening peeps

I haven't had much time to craft this week, been trying to get myself organised for Christmas.  I had a bit of a stressful day on Tuesday, I'm can not believe the way this country treats it's victims of crime. Six months ago, on Saturday, we received a letter from the police stating that the bike was now ready for recovery.  Monday, no one knew where the bike was, so on Tuesday, my son went back to the Police only to be told that he would start to be charged £20 a day unless it was picked up by 5pm that day. He was also told that he could not ride it or push it out of the compound, so the only way of collecting was by van or trailer.  At 3.30 pm, it is impossible to find a van or trailer, so we went over with my dad's car in the hope that it would fit.  The worse part of this, is that they couldn't find it again, of course, we have refused to pay any money at the moment.  I just can't get my head around the fact that we didn't ask for it to be stolen, so way do we have to pay anything.


Anyway, after all that waffle, my card tonight, is an order from a work colleague.  The digital stamp is called Yep, I Have My Methods from The Paper Shelter and I have coloured it using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Red card stock

Presscuts square nesting die set
