OOOOOh!!! a new toy for me!!!!!

Oh what a day yesterday was!!!!the first ting to go wrong was our sky hd box died....urgh..we can't afford a new one(they are expensive) so no more Ty on extreme makeover or ghost whisperer for me...boo-hooo :( so we spent the whole day trying to fix it, dh is a bit of a whizz at things like tis so we had to got to his work and fetch solder and solder tools but no amount of intensive care would revive it.

There is one plus point though, while we were on our travels trying to fix it the boys decided they had the nibbles so we stopped in at the bakery to get them gingerbread men, across from the bakery is a little craft shop I like to womble around, so naturally to cheer myself up and stop me thinking of missing Ty I decided to go in and while wombling I found this paper tagger!! oooooh, i think I am going to like it!! it just looked at me and said "please buy me!!! we can be great friends" I think it is going to be another nice little gadget for me!!!! I can just see us sat, tagging everything. I am thinking of testing it out on mo and ryan later!!!!!! lol!!!!

Michelle's happy mail!!

I have just finished talking to Michelle on facebook and her happy mail got to her so I can pop it on here now. Michelle and I swap cards and decided we would call it happy mail as it just cheers up our days when they plop onto the mat through the letterbox.

I used my new storybook cart for this one,ooooh I love it, its so versatile!!

I made the overlay for the card in ds by welding the letters of her name to 2 rectangles ( made by using 2 squares to avoid the dreaded 'x' error!!!) and because i was using double sided patterned cardstock I was able to pop the little accent overlays for the letters on 'flip shapes' function and cut it all out in one go!!! i love ds!!!! ohand I did the heart the same way too. The sentiment on the inside I made with my xyron design runner ( I like that too!!!) I inked theegdges of the card,all the letters and the little heart to make them stand out a little .I used foam squares to mount the letters and the heart but I had to cut them up into little strips!!! I gave them a little bit of sparkle with glitter glue and then went over the top with anita's 3d glaze ( love this stuff too, it makes things look so pretty and adds a new dimension.) I popped some little dovecraft gems in two of the corners and added a little bit of ribbon too.

I am going to bed now!!!! thankyou for popping in!!!

Football (for us in the UK!) soccer (for US!) card!!!!

Now I have finished Michelle's card I have been able to get on with a birthday card!! this is for the football mad little boy (arghhh,he's not so little now!!! I am getting old!!) that I used to nanny for. I used my soccer solutions cart for this one. Its funny because dh bought itas a surprise for me when it first came out and was quite a good deal and I wasn't toosure if I would use it but I use it quite a lot!!! I welded 2 football shadows together in ds and the I poped the overlay on. I added a bit more to the overlay using george as it loked a bit wierd without it, it is the little line near the E that I added.The font is doodletype with blue for the shadow and claret for the normal on top.He supports West Ham United football club so I used their team colours for his name and I googled the clubs emblem and printed it out on some card. I have put anita's 3d glaze on the letters and the emblem because I love the effect that it gives.
The ont inside the card is fro http://www.dafont.com/ and it is called 'bend it', I downloaded it especially for this card as I thought it was cool for footy mad little guys!!! I did lots of doodle dots in black and white gel pen on the football to look like stitching(hand very achey now from attempting not too smudge it too much!!!) and some around the 'Happy birthday' too.
I am looking forward to the weekend, yippee friday tommorrow! I am ready for some snuggle time with mo and doing some nice mummy things. I have been informed by mo this morning that we are making some banana cakes with icing on so looks like it will be a messy old kitchen weekend!! He wants to make some chocolate playdough too for a sweety shop so I'd better get some cocoa!!!
Thanks for wombling my way xxxx

Mini card.....Little but sooo cute!!

I have had a busy day today doing day 2 of my SENCo course and needed to unwind a bit after I had put Mo to bed so I decided to have a play and make a cute little mini card.The card is only 9x7cm and really does look cute!!! I cut the scalloped card from my new arrival cart,inked the edges and added a few doodle dots in blue. Then I printed out a few josh's (from grab-a-doodle-do). I cut three little rectangles and highlighted the edges of the bottom one with a silver gel pen, then inked it blue over that, I used a bit pf patterned paper for the 2nd layer and inked it softly and then the 3rd layer is the white cardstock I had printed Josh out on,trimmed into a rectangle with the edges inked in blue again and a few doodle dots. I have put 3d glaze on the little football and it looks really cool as it has a kind of domed shape but I think it is tricky to see in the picture! I haven't made a sentiment yet but I have just downloaded a really cool football font called 'Bend it' from http://www.dafont.com/ so I think I will be using that for it. I have also made a really nice card for my lovely friend Michelle who I do 'happy mail' with but I don't want to post that until I know she has recieved it!! it is the first card I have made using my new storybook cart and I am really pleased with it!! I will post it soon!!
