Surfer Boy

Evening peeps

That's my first 10 hours shift back as a Section Leader over with and I have to say that it's great to be back in that position.  I didn't realise how bored I was without any responsibility or stress.  I might think differently at the end of tomorrow, as I have stocktake to complete by the end of the day.

Spring Birds

Evening peeps

Well, I am more confused then ever today.  Yesterday I went to hand in my notice at work only for the GSM to ask if I would wait until I have spoken to Dean, the Assistant Manager.  So today, I sat down with him to have a chat.  I told him that I wanted a my career back and to go back into management.  I have now got to wait until tomorrow, so he can speak to the GSM, I really didn't expect the reaction I have received, so it's made my decision a lot harder.

Spring Flowers

Evening peeps

I worked until 7 last night, so crafting went out of the window.  It was a quick nibble of food and then bed at 9 ready for a 4.30 alarm this morning.  It's something that I won't be doing again due to the fact that my Section Leader thought it would be OK to a much longer break then she is entitled to.


Anyway, I have calmed down a bit today and crafting this afternoon has help relieved the stress levels.  This digital stamp on this card is called Umbrella 1 from Bugaboo Stamps and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Kraft card stock
Crafters Companion Picnic Plaid embossing folder

Colourful Thanks

Evening peeps

Well the big announcement at work was leaked to the press, so they are now trying to rush through all the colleague meetings, this company never gets it right.  


It turns out that they are offering a pay rise for anyone that is willing to sign a flexible hours contract.  That's great, but it feels like they are giving in one hand and taking from the other.  Along with this contract, your breaks will become unpaid and you will be required to work every Bank Holiday.  So far, everyone that I have spoken to has said no.  Give it a couple of years and we will probably all be forced to sign it.


Anyway, I have made a quick Thank You card tonight.  Materials used are:

White card stock
Digital patterned papers
Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms stamp and die set
Spellbinders Marisa's Bouquet die set
Spellbinders Sentiments Two die set
Wow white embossing powder
Copic Markers
White pearl

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Steampunk Birthday

Evening peeps

Today is the first day that I have really regretted dropping down from a Section Leader and that all stems from how nosy I am.  There is a big announcement due at work and all the Managers and Section Leaders were told about today, the colleagues, however, have got to wait for 3 weeks before they found out.  I find it really hard not knowing what is going on, so I will probably spend the next 3 weeks nagging them all.


Anyway, I have gone with a steampunk themed card tonight.  Materials used are:

White card stock
Brown card stock
Gold Centura Pearl card stock
Digital patterned paper
Crafters Companion Checkerplate embossing folder
Sheena Douglass Time Traveller die
Signature Collection Cogs And Gears die set
Adirondack Earthtones Espresso ink pad
Metal Key charm

Father

Afternoon peeps

Never in my life have I been scared when I have been at home, but Friday night I was sitting eating a bowl of fruit, when I looked up to see the string of my blind swing.  There was no wind and no one was anywhere near it.  I'm not sure if I believe in supernatural things, but I still can't find an explanation for it.  I was so glad when my Brother got home.

The Charleston

Afternoon peeps

Well I have made a start on clearing and tidying my craft cupboard, by that I mean I have sorted one shelf, not bad if I do say so myself (laughing).  The problem is that as you're clearing out, you start to see things that haven't seen the light of day for months, so of course, you have got to sit down and start crafting.  At this rate, it will take me 6 months to clear out.


Anyway, my card this afternoon has a Charleston theme.  The digital stamp is called Flapper Twirl Girl from Lemon Shortbread and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Blue card stock
Digital patterned papers
Xcut lattice embossing folder
Crealies Crea-Nest-Lies XXL No. 23 die set
Poppy Stamps Elegant Musical Staff die
Tattered Lace Family Sentiments die set
Cosmic Shimmer Summer Blue PVA glue
