Thanks





Lucy's Cards - Sketch week -day 5.

The sentiment is from Ippity and the pink paper is so old I'm not sure where it came from .
I have a confession to make I stamped the sentiment upside down ,(I hate stamping directly onto a card for this very reason ).At first I panicked and tried wiping it with a wet one ,big mistake ,the card went soggy .After drying it off I stamped again,the right way up this time and to make everything blend together I used some brown ink and sponged over a stencil shape to enclose the sentiment. Does that make sense, anyhow I managed to save the day and it doesn't look too shabby.

Sing it loud

The music paper is 'dear lizzy' and the bird paper is from 'Christina Re'.The bird stamp is from Inkadinkado. The sentiment is from Ippity .

Tea and Cookies




Papercraft Star - challenge 77 -Tea or Coffee - My teapot image came from 'a piece of cake ',the doily from the Stamp Spot, the friendship sentiment is Kaisercraft I think.

Happy New Year .I hope you all had a enjoyable holiday break ,not a slice of turkey or plum pudding passed my lips but my trousers are so very tight.My fridge is still full of goodies ,this morning I saw a bowl of cherries so I think a cherry crisp is on the menu for dinner,Steve has just done a dry rub for some ribs,yum.
