Circle circus - MTTC DT

Morning all, hey 2nd day of warm weather and gorgeous sunshine, I was able to get some much needed sunshine through the open window yesterday for a couple of hours, hope to get some more this afternoon, fresh air and sunshine oh so lovely.  Now I just need to get rid of the invisible people sticking knives and twisting them in my ears, throat and chest, my goodness it's so painful and hurts so to breath, always amazes me how it can be so painful with all the daily pain meds I have to take anyway !!

I'm not quite sure why but I seem to have gained quite a few followers this week in the matter of a couple of days, very odd, but I welcome you and thank you so much for choosing to follow my little blog, just hope I don't bore you too much, I always welcome comments and constructive critiscm, like a lot of crafters I'm always full of self doubt about my work, often lack creative mojo.

Well it's time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft we would love to see your creations and some circles.  My imgage and Bp's are all from the Humphrey Collection at Crafters Companion, I used nesties to cut my circles, edged my main paper with color box chalk ink and finished off with card candi.  Hope to see your creation on the MTTC blog.

Recycled - CD Sunday DT

Hi all, what a week, I've been in a lot more pain than the usual level, and really locked up joints, so I haven't done an much at all apart from some reading, luckily I've had my OH doing a bit more massaging than usual on my back/neck/shoulders and legs, so it's lifted a little, almost back to my normal level, ah well these things are sent to try us, must try and catch up on some commenting next.

Anyway enough of my boring stuff, this week we are looking for some recycling over at CD Sunday, instead of the usual card I decided to finish off some of my craft pots, not very exciting or blinged up i'm afraid more for practicality than pretty, i've used various papers from MCS Cd's and recoloured them in purple of course so they all matched colourwise, I also used some fabric and paper ribbons and MS punched borders.  The pots/boxes are from Bisto, hot choc, cadburys mini eggs, sweetcorn tin, and some plastic containers that had lost their lids.

Whilst I was showing those, I thought I would show you my alchohol pen storage, that my OH made for me  recently using plastic piping and some tongue and groove wood we had left over from another project.
Lastly for today, I emailed into C & C for the first time today when Joanna Sheen was on with her House Mouse Saturday program this afternoon and attached piccy's of my latest two HMD cards and I had it read out and my piccy's shown, quite a weird feeling seeing two things I've made on the the TV !!

Cake - such a versatile item of food, celebrations, combating the blues, or just because you feel like it, there's always a reason for cake, we actually just got above freezing yesterday, the first time in over 2 weeks, so my wish for warmer weather came true at last,  not quite picnic weather yet.

So this time at MTTC we would like to see some cake on your creations, my BP's are from Artylicious and Ooh-La-La, ribbon, flowers and House Mouse Image are from Joanna Sheen and Centura Pearl base card from Crafters Companion.  Hope to see your creation over at MTTC soon.

Be My Valentine - OLLCB DT

Morning, goodness it's freezing, we had more snow yesterday, on top of the 10cm of snow we had a week ago, that hadn't melted because it's been so cold, the warmest day we've had this past week has been -4C, our nights have been hovering around -10C, it does look pretty but I hope it's going to warm up soon.

Well it's time for another challenge over at Ooh-La-La Creations and this time we want to see those Valentines Creations, my images and papers are from their Silhouettes CD, I made some punched edges with an MS Punch, used some felt hearts, and heart shaped gems which I've had forever in my stash, and finished off with a Memory box heart die and double bow made from organza ribbon.
