Not making any cards at present as am in the good old U. S. of A.<br /><br />Had a very long journey yesterday (think Trains, Planes and Automobiles!!) but have arrived and had a sleep and up for breakfast and raring to go. We are travelling up to Orlando today after a quick trip to the beach and my first stop today (after the hotel check-in) will be M*I*C*H*A*E*L*S*!!!!!!!- need to get those coupons used.<br /><br />....had a fab flight with Air France and was lucky enough to be in the upper deck with longer leg room and great in -flight entertainment but..... you know how much you are addicted to crafting when you watch a movie with George Clooney in it (UP IN THE AIR) and the most impressive thing that you notice is the hand crafted wedding invitation he is holding (hand crafted I might add) and the distinct border edge of a Martha Stewart Doiley Punch....... I must get out more!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/766215680406983193-4231648436289342298?l=mustgoonastashdiet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stressed Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06860946689034756903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766215680406983193.post-29453878969358320912010-03-27T08:57:00.005Z2010-03-27T09:04:06.160Z<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S63IyUVQyOI/AAAAAAAAAZE/pmwAXIECbI0/s1600/easter+card.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453235490592442594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 399px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S63IyUVQyOI/AAAAAAAAAZE/pmwAXIECbI0/s400/easter+card.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This card was created with a chocolate duck bought from a local garden centre.

It also embosses and<em> </em>have used coredinations and rubbed back with an emery board to show the daisy design. Border created with Martha Stewart eyelet lace punch. Flowers are Prima and centre flower coloured with promarker to match image. Crystals are papermania. Text created with doodlebug rubons.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4pudDzuZ6I/AAAAAAAAAW4/hMlylLo6l04/s1600-h/penny+black+lilacgreen+easel.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443284545148184482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4pudDzuZ6I/AAAAAAAAAW4/hMlylLo6l04/s400/penny+black+lilacgreen+easel.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Secondly uses Basic Grey Sultry papers and Nellies square die.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4puMCsgIWI/AAAAAAAAAWw/OdQa0bAr8CY/s1600-h/pennyblack+basicgrey+easel.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443284252791677282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 348px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4puMCsgIWI/AAAAAAAAAWw/OdQa0bAr8CY/s400/pennyblack+basicgrey+easel.jpg" border="0" /></a> Lastly papers are D.C.W.V. latte - and is very unusual for me as I don't do green very often if at all.

It is nice to get back to basics sometimes and back to the old matting and layering with lots of whitespace. <br /><br />Second up is a well used image from me - 'cherish' from Penny Black using up some old bazzil and Basic Grey wisteria. It's nice to make small cards to make full use of small scraps. <br /><br />Last card is again 'Cherish' but in easel form with just two colours and no patterned paper. Uses Martha Stewart eyelet lace punch around the page. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4HQPn_rRsI/AAAAAAAAAWg/mHAwVZmjqc0/s1600-h/popcorn+with+flower.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440858791692945090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 199px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4HQPn_rRsI/AAAAAAAAAWg/mHAwVZmjqc0/s400/popcorn+with+flower.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4HQNcaDeDI/AAAAAAAAAWY/Oiu75vU0iOE/s1600-h/small+happy+b+day+penny+black+cherish.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440858754222618674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 281px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4HQNcaDeDI/AAAAAAAAAWY/Oiu75vU0iOE/s400/small+happy+b+day+penny+black+cherish.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4HQMwaZHQI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/MZHxOK3TwKw/s1600-h/easel+thanks.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440858742412877058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 307px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/S4HQMwaZHQI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/MZHxOK3TwKw/s400/easel+thanks.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/766215680406983193-8202199422549106010?l=mustgoonastashdiet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stressed Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06860946689034756903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766215680406983193.post-152590161814685322010-02-22T00:00:00.003Z2010-02-22T00:09:06.027ZThis card was a special order for a work colleague's daughter who had reached the ripe old age of 10. Image scanned from her favourite book called 'The Pig' - very like 'The Dog' where all the images are very close to the animals head (almost as though they had bumped into the lens. Image then printed on photo paper and trimmed. The photo does not do the card justice as again light very poor at the time of taking the photograph. Piggy paper from Papermania hugs and honey collection. Text created with doodlebug large stickers.

This time the papers used are Basic Grey 'Cupcake', buttons from the same collection and ticket tag is an old sizzix die. Sentiment created with 'all mixed up' rubons from doodlebug and basic grey 'wholy cow'. Image coloured with promarkers.<br /><br />Second card is so simple - created using die from sizzix and 'Pretty Please' papers from M.M.E. and matching bazzill cardstock. Button and fibers from stash.<br /><br />The third card was made with rubber stampede stamp no 2867h - gerbera daisy and is stamped and layered. Papers used are the same as previous. Gave the old sewing machine an outing to create a funky border.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SqOExWdjQmI/AAAAAAAAARU/z4cyHLjzH88/s1600-h/PARTY+TIME.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378288363388486242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 276px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SqOExWdjQmI/AAAAAAAAARU/z4cyHLjzH88/s400/PARTY+TIME.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SqOExLjnLZI/AAAAAAAAARM/bUYPC4ZyRGs/s1600-h/FLOWER+SQUARE+CARD.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378288360461118866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 396px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SqOExLjnLZI/AAAAAAAAARM/bUYPC4ZyRGs/s400/FLOWER+SQUARE+CARD.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SqOEwp01trI/AAAAAAAAARE/tn0Hu1hPEQU/s1600-h/GERBERA.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378288351406569138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 383px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SqOEwp01trI/AAAAAAAAARE/tn0Hu1hPEQU/s400/GERBERA.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/766215680406983193-4891447134277558992?l=mustgoonastashdiet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stressed Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06860946689034756903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766215680406983193.post-51731538305064506512009-08-12T11:45:00.002+01:002009-08-12T11:47:35.218+01:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SoKdjRM2n1I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/z5Vp8b0B044/s1600-h/bevs-candy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369026935017348946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 383px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/SoKdjRM2n1I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/z5Vp8b0B044/s400/bevs-candy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>you have to check this out -fantastic opportunity! - here is the link <a href="http://bevscrafts.blogspot.com/2009/08/thank-you-collab-blog-candy.html">http://bevscrafts.blogspot.com/2009/08/thank-you-collab-blog-candy.html</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/766215680406983193-5173153830506450651?l=mustgoonastashdiet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stressed Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06860946689034756903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766215680406983193.post-33272516358298238822009-08-08T09:55:00.004+01:002009-08-08T10:01:11.342+01:00one of my colleagues from the frozen north <a href="http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/group.php?groupid=288">http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/group.php?groupid=288</a> showed me how to knit these little flowers and this card is the result.

It is second hand but is 'as new' and considering that they are retailing at £118.00 think I got a bargain.</div><div></div><br /><div>Will try and post this week (life permitting)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/766215680406983193-2394484073378150459?l=mustgoonastashdiet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stressed Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06860946689034756903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766215680406983193.post-54842781040718105062009-05-16T17:58:00.003+01:002009-05-16T18:00:40.311+01:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/Sg7w71_EG5I/AAAAAAAAAOY/UXLMjt-tGV0/s1600-h/HELLO+KITTY+GET+WELL+SOON.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336467519375154066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 304px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SG8JD-ovKyc/Sg7w71_EG5I/AAAAAAAAAOY/UXLMjt-tGV0/s400/HELLO+KITTY+GET+WELL+SOON.jpg" border="0" /></a> Just love this cricut cartridge - papers are Alissa from Bo Bunny and text is from Beyond Birthdays cartridge.
