PIF/Look What I Got...

Clare over at Clare's Crafts was running a PIF (Pass It Forward)....I left a comment and look at the lovely goodies she has sent me.

A BIG 'Thank You' to Clare x x x

When you enter a PIF and receive your goodies you are to post on your blog then offer some goodies to the first 3 people that comment on your post....

Well I have already done a PIF not that long ago so what I am going to do is offer some blog candy to celebrate coming up to 2000 hits.

Keep a look out...I will be posting during next week with a pic of the goodies you could win.

Yipee....Crafting Time!!!!

Yesterday I unpacked my crafty stash after I had to pack it all away for Steve's party on Saturday night, spread it all over the place and set on making some cards....

I also managed a quick play with my pro-markers on this first card.

Another Hectic Week...

Another hectic week which has unfortunately not left me much time for crafting or blogging - boo hoo :-(

Sofa and wallpaper shopping is about driving me insane and it was Steve's birthday so we had a party at home for him on Saturday. The party was fantastic but what a mess was left.

I had to pack all my crafty things away in preparation for the party and now can't find a thing....I will be back to it tomorrow with my stash all over just how I like it.

Here are a couple of quick makes

(you know the one's - 'quick' as in a few hours!!!!)

Card Made For Linda....

I made this card a few days ago for Linda from Linanna Designs....

I know she has received it so I am safe to show you.

If you know Linda you will know that she spends a lot of time in the bath...

I just couldn't resist making her a card when I saw this image.

This Is What I Have Been Up To....

When I first started card making I signed up to a website

www.makinghandmadecards.com

where you can download free papers, get loads of hints and tips plus samples of card ideas and 'how to' video's.

Over time I have become e-mail friends with Claire who designs and runs the site....very shortly Claire is launching a shop where you can purchase more of her fantastic designs.

These are examples of what I have made from the new kits Claire has been working on....pop over to the site, have a look and sign up to the newsletter...you will then be informed of the launch

The kits are absolutely fantastic....
