Santa

Evening peeps

I think I am in for a rough ride this week with my son, he hates being back home and badly missing London.  Yesterday, I got in from work and all he had done was laze around in bed all day, he hadn't even had a shower.  By the evening, he was moaning about wanting to go out, of course, in London this isn't a problem, but in Sittingbourne there isn't anything open apart from Asda.  A shouting match followed because my Mum wouldn't drive him down there.  I know it sounds bad, but if he hates being here that much, he should just go back to London early.


Anyway, to relax after all the stress, I sat and made a Christmas card ready for next year.  The digital stamp is from Sheri Baldy and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Red card stock
Green card stock
Gold Centura Pearl card stock

Me And My Dog

Well I have spent the afternoon in an MRI scanning machine to see if I have another disc going in my back.  I can't believe how hard it is to lay still for an hour, by the end, it felt like my legs were not attached to my body.


Anyway, I have had to made my socks off to get this other card made for my colleague.  This one is also for her son, but this time it is for the daughter to get to her brother.  The digital stamp I have used is called My Cute Rottweiler from The Paper Shelter and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Hit The Target

Evening peeps

The Wednesday before Christmas and I have a day off from the mania at work.  The bulk stock is just starting to hit the store, so it has been all hands on deck to just it onto the shelves.  I'm not looking forward to Thursday and Friday, if it's anything like past years, we won't be able to move.


Anyway, this card is for an order from a colleague at work.  I wasn't happy with the original card that I made and decided to do another.  It is for her son, who will be 15 on Christmas Day and we decided that as he had just taken up Archery, that would be a good theme.


Materials used for this card are:

White card stock

Penguin Pets

Evening peeps

I finally got round to putting up my new bed yesterday.  It looks so nice and the mattress is really thick with a memory foam top on it.  I set two alarms last night just in case I got so comfortable that I slept through it.  How wrong was I, I hardly slept at all and this morning my back and arm were playing up more then usual.  I only hope it's because I'm not use to the mattress yet.


Anyway, my card tonight is the last one of a big order from a colleague at work.  The digital stamp is called Frosty Penguins from Polkadoodles and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.
