Where's summer gone?

Hello my lovelies!

It really is time I got myself organized with putting posts on my blog, I have just been so busy with one thing and another that the time flies past. I do wonder how some people can find the time to update their blog everyday, they must be very clever and they do videos too!

Today I have a few cards that I have been trying to upload for a little while but my computer seems to be sooo slow I gave up, but today I have a bit more time so am trying again(fingers crossed it will work).

Card for Promarkers

Hi,
We are so lucky here in the UK at present with some beautiful sunshine albeit we can't always cope with the heat as we are not used to it. I have put the sunbathing on hold and come to think of it the cleaning too! and been on a hunt for some card to use with my promarker pens. I have been lucky and found some very reasonable card in Staples (Norwich) a pack of 50 sheets of A4 210 gsm by Stephens, it feels as if its coated but don't quote me on that, for £5.50. I am using it at present and very pleased with it, no bleeding and good blending, I will have to go and get some more quick before they run out.
I couldn't resist buying some other goodies too, X cut nesting hexagon dies, First Edition J'adore paper pack, Fiskars Corner Punch(scroll), Fiskars Notebook punch, Fiskars Interchangeable Border Punch starter set and extra cassette. I also bought this week 7 packs of Promarker fine nibs from Joannna Sheen too. All I have to do now is continue to work to pay for my addiction to buy craft goodies.
I had better start making some cards now to post to my blog.
See you all soon with some creations.

Aly's Inky Fingers DT cards

Yay! I'm back,
with some lovely Design Team member cards for Al'ys Inky Fingers.
I was so lucky that Aly asked me again to make some more cards for her appearance on Create and Craft channel Thursday 27th June. She has some lovely new sets available from her website http://www.alysinkyfingers.co.uk/ I have used Country Buddies and Fluttering Flourishes.
I hope to be back on form and start posting more on my blog now that my back is getting slightly better. Two slipped disc's, I didn't realise it would be so painful but OUCH! it does and it really restricts what you can continue to do with yourself, but I'm not going to let it get me down.

Will be back very soon

Hi all,
Sorry I haven't been around for a while but I've had a couple of slipped discs so it was complete bed rest for 6 weeks. I am now getting back to normal and back at work. I am hoping to get started on making some more cards as my fingers are itching with craftyness!

I shall post as soon as I have something to show.

Take care

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to you all! again I start by apologising that I have not been updating my blog with lovely things for you. I have had one sickness after the other and have just recently come out of hospital and waiting for further tests. To be honest I really do not feel like crafting at the moment so as my family say they know I must be really poorly! I hope to be back on track and making goodies soon but for now I leave you with an old favourite made last year for my mum and mother in law.

Happy Easter! x

Sorry!

Sorry for not posting the details of how I made the gift set but my computer has broken down. My husband is in the middle of repairing/cleaning the hard drive, I feel so lost with out it, as soon as it's up and running again I will do my best to post all the details.
