Be Mine

Evening peeps

There is one thing that people should never have a conversation about, money.  Today at work, it got very heated when the subject of money and what income and bills we all had to pay come up in conversation.  So much so, that one of the girls got quite upset.  If the same subject comes up next week, I think I will just tell them all to shut up.


Anyway, I have made a valentine's card tonight which is something I only ever make when I have an order for one.


The materials used are:

White card stock
Red card stock
Pink card stock
Digital patterned paper
Lattice embossing folder
Tonic First Crush Affections Insert die set
Red stitched ribbon
Pearl heart button
Pearls


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Well I sort of had good news yesterday about my MRI scan.  It would seem that I have a disc that is slightly protruding but nothing to worry about.  That's good news, but unfortunately, I am still having problems with my back and arm, so I have now been referred for Psycho to help strengthen my spine and muscles.

Penguin Love

Afternoon peeps

I don't know about anyone else, but having to much choice drives me mad.  I needed to go out and buy an iron today which proved to be a nightmare, there is so much choice in each price range.  I eventually managed to pick one out after half an hour, but then spent the walk home worrying that I should have brought a different one.  I think I'm turning into my Mother, that is how she would be.


Anyway, a nice bit of crafting this morning and I made a Christmas card with one of my favourite images.  The digital stamp is called Frosty Penguins from Polkadoodles and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock

Get Well Soon Coffee

Afternoon peeps

I know I keep moaning about work, but I couldn't believe the attitude of my Section Leader today.  I am a strong believer that no matter what your level within a company, you are no better then the colleagues.  It seems that the younger generation think that being a Section Leader means longer breaks and no work.

Where I used to be a Manager, I am always aware of what is going on around me and today I had to pulled my Section Leader up on the fact that she had near 2 hours worth of breaks as well as popping out to the smoking shelter a couple of times.  The break entitlement for the shift she was working is 20 minutes breakfast break and a half hour lunch.  I think the management are either blind or choose to ignore it, where as I will give it to her straight.


Anyway, I have made another clean and simple card today.  The digital stamp is called Coffee Time - Espresso Yourself from Bugaboo Stamps and it has been coloured using ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Gold Centura Pearl card stock
Crafters Companion Dottie embossing folder
Spellbinders Circle Nesting die set
Tonic Celtic Dream Layering die set
Adirondack Earthtones Espresso ink pad
Red Heart shaped buttons

Winter Ice Skating

Afternoon peeps

What a fantastic day out yesterday.  My son decided to treat me for my Birthday and booked tickets for the Sky Garden in London.  We also have a meal in Convent Gardens and finished off the day with a drink in Greenwich.



I have never heard of the Sky Garden before, but if you want to get a bird's eye view of the London skyline, I would suggest going.  You only get 1 hour in there, but I think this enough time.  It's at the top of a skyscraper and the best part is that the tickets are free, which is unusual for London.


Anyway, I have spent most of today not really doing a lot, but I have managed to make a card.  The digital stamp is called Fantasy On Ice from The Paper Shelter and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Blue card stock
Double sided adhesive sheets
Digital patterned papers
Tattered Lace Delicate Snowflakes embossing folder
Lattice embossing folder
Tonic Romantic Leaf Affections Insert die set
Blue ribbon
Pearl Snowflakes
White pearls
Crystal Glamour Dust glitter

White Winter

Afternoon peeps

Well that will teach me for being cocky, I was working bread for the first time this morning and was sure I would have the bread and cake delivery done by 12 at the latest, how wrong was I.  I didn't finish bread until 11.45 and only managed to get 2 cages of the cake delivery worked.  Next time I think it might be a good idea to keep my mouth shut.


Anyway, I made this winter white theme card last night.  Materials used are:

White card stock
Double sided adhesive sheets
Tattered Lace Delicate Snowflakes embossing folder
Lattice embossing folder
Tonic Celtic Dream Layering die set

Butterfly Kisses

Afternoon peeps

I feel like I have been baby sitting my Section Leader for the last couple of days.  She doesn't seem to know anything about the department she is looking after.  I tried to explain to her that it's great to have colleagues that can do everything, that's called managing, but seeing that the experienced colleagues are all talking about applying for a new store opening, she could land up with all of us leaving at the same time.  I had to point out that because she didn't know anything on the department, it would full apart.


Anyway, a quick clean and simple card today.  The digital stamp is called Sophia from Art By Miran and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Spellbinders Circle Nesting die set as a mask
Signature Collection Flit And Flutter die set
Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress ink pad
Green gemstones
