Pollycraft Monday Challenge #48 DT Card...

Good Morning....

I am feeling better this morning thankfully, I said yesterday that I wasn't drinking alcohol again - well not in a big quantity anyway!!! Lol

I have never got on well with it and suffer so badly with hangover's ;-)

It's time for a new challenge over at Pollycraft, and Joey has chosen the theme of:-

''Let's Have A Sing Song''

You can interpret the theme however you wish, use part of the lyrics from a song or use inspiration from a song for the design of your card.

The prize for one lucky winner is the choice of 10 digi's from the Pollycraft shop.

I chose the song ''Wind Beneath My Wings...'' which is very close to my heart, we played it at my Dad's funeral...he will always be my hero!!

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

You're everything, everything I wish I could be.

Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

I am also entering my card into the following challenges:-

1 - Little Red Wagon / Sketch

2 - Cards For Men / Father's Day

3 - My Time To Craft / Xtra Special

4 - Charisma Cardz / Spots & Stripes

5 - Totally Gorjuss / One For The Boys

6 - Paper Cutz / Father's Day

Mojo Monday & I Love Promarkers....

Hi all...

I've been feeling very tender all day after consuming too many drinkies last night. Steve went out early to watch the footie, I picked him up then we went out with my mum and a few friends....we all had a good night but sore heads this morning all round!!

I've had these cards made a few days but not got round to posting them. The first one is for Mojo Monday...I have used ''Bianca'' from the DigiStamp Boutique and Wild Rose Studio papers.

For my second card I followed the sketch over at I Love Promarkers and used ''Football Maxwell'' again from DigiStamp Boutique. The papers are 365 Degrees from Pink Paislee.

Final Bra Count For The YAA & My Craft Move...

Good Morning...

No cards to share with you this morning, I've been so busy sorting other things and haven't had a minute.

I have got a final bra count for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance's recycling appeal. We asked for people to bring them to Dad's memorial do which we had last month and the total is 620!!!!

If you have any bra's that you don't need anymore please pop over to the YAA's website for details of how you can donate them to their appeal.

*****************************************

I have also been very busy sorting my crafty mess...I've been crafting in our living room with a few tables behind one of the sofa's. I wanted my living room back so we decided to kit out the spare room to create a craft area for me and a better work space for Steve.

I made a mess of measuring the room and all the storage I wanted didn't fit so Steve altered one of the desks and added the drawer unit under the left hand side, it was originally just straight. He had to take the supports out to get the drawers in so I used one of these to make the shelf sat on the top.

Drawers and shelf I constructed... The two wooden drawer units & small glass jars are from Ikea, the others are from Douwe Egberts coffee.
