some other recent cards

just for fun

I bought lots of new stamps from craft barn during the sale they were a bargain and super cute, this is one of my favourites. The papers are freebies from a magazine this month. I am off to stare longingly in my cupboards until I see something tasty for tea(or ring for a takeaway lol)

OMG I suck at updating

I have neglected my blog for a few months but I have been card making, tried crochet and even made a wonky sock monkey or two but I lost a bit of love for the internet so haven't been as fussed about putting my creations up on here. I've decided a revamp is in order and to try to get back into blogging.
I made a few cards the other day using designs I made myself, I love the sheep but the cow is hubbys favourite. They are very silly but I can only really draw cartoonish characters if only I had done art at school instead of French, mais c'est la vie.

new promarkers

I haven't updated for a while and my blog is getting a bit neglected. I dont seem to have the time to make anything these days even though I am still jobless lol. I didnt get the job but that's fine I think I was too qualified and they were worried I would run off at the first chance of a better position. and now circumstances have changed again and I am holding off finding a job, it's a rollercoaster at the minute round our house.
But anyway back to lovely crafting :) My hubby bought be some promarkers that are on offer at hobbycraft so I only have a few and I so want more, but it has driven me to more stamping which is always a good thing. The little mouse card was one of the first attempts at using the promarkers, I only had brights and skin tones at this point and my shading is pants (it still is lol) but it is still really sweet I think. I used the front of the paper pack to cut out the flower and layered on the front.
I have made a few xmas cards too I will put up if I get a few moments. Hubby is taking my little boy to see my in laws this weekend and I am staying at home so will have a full day to craft and laze about so might get on top of the million things I need to do *fingers crossed *

Job interview tomorrow

I've had a busy few weeks and some stresses and decided now is the time to go back to work. Posted my details on a jobsite on Sunday and had a call for an interview yesterday. It's only part time which suits me with James, so fingers crossed. Hopefully once the job is mine I can stop feeling stressed and concentrate on making my cards for xmas. The hunt for the camera cable is still on I have a feeling it has been hidden in a place only accessible by toddlers :(

I won!!!

My pocket card for my mum's 50th was chosen as a favourite by Joanne over at the Forever Friends challenge blog. I am so excited I haven't won a challenge before. This has officially made my day. Yay!!

I am stuck using my scanner for a bit as I still can't find my cable. It's a pain seeing as my husband works in a professional camera shop and we have a house full of big expensive camera equipment and I can't use my little camera :(
anyhoo these are cards for my mum and my father in law. In a few weeks I won't have any more birthdays to worry about until December and I can start xmas cards *gulp*
