Sincerely Yours

Hi all

Well for the first time ever there is a Sincerely Yours Craft Show on in Plymstock, Plymouth and so to support them thought I would pop along and see what I could buy, Alan came with me but it took ages as I forgot that the A38 which is the main route in and out of Plymouth from where we live was closed due to the old bridge being blown up at Plympton.  so we left around 10.00 got there at 11.15 (the journey usually takes us around 25 mins.  I spent a fortune (or rather Alan did) around £91.00 all together lol.  We then began the journey home at 11.45 and have just got home 13.06 the traffic was really bad.

My goodies

Not much really for nearly £100.00

Will be having a go at making the flowers this afternoon hopefully will show you what I make tomorrow.

Love Alison x

Evening All

I have arrived safely from my sister's who lives in Bath just relaxed did a bit of catching up with you all and have made a commissioned card, for one of my customers who wants to give this to a friend of hers who lives in the North somewhere and loves fairies.

I used a digi image from Sherri Baldy the dies down the side are from Poppy Stamps the middle die can't remember where I got that from but think it is a spellbinders.  The bow and the hexagon embossing folder is from Crafter's companion.  I coloured her in using my Aqua Pencils also from Crafters Companion.

I am entering this card into Sketch Saturday Challenge.

Am off to cook some dinner we are having home made bacon & egg flan and salad tonight and I also have to make a flan for our youngest daughter Sarah but it has to be mushroom as she is a vegetarian as I  have tons of eggs to use up the chickens have been going mad lol x

Love to All

Morning Everybody

How is everybody this morning, well I hope, if not a big crafty hug from me.

I have been busy making a couple of box cards, I do love making these, the instructions are in my tutorial page if you need it. 

For my first card I used the Bebunni Baby CD which is adorable from Crafters Companion and also adorable scorable card stock as it does not rip, in the little drawer there is a pair of mittens and socks so cute. 

My second box card is for a boy

and a further two box cards

This is a little gift set so card and box and a gift bag

I am off now to check your lovely blogs and then get ready to go to my friend Dorne's this afternoon as we are doing another block on our quilt today.

Late posting

Hi All

I am posting this later than usual today but have been a bit busy.  The card I am showcasing today is from Art Impressions Girl Friends range Laughing Set 4385, I stamped this up over at Rachel's on Saturday but only got around to colouring it in today, I used my Crafter's Companion AquaBlend Pencils  by Spectrum Noir.  I love these pencils they are brilliant.

The paper I have used are bits and bobs left over from other cards and are mostly printed from Crafter's Companion CD's which I have loads as they have been bought either as Christmas Presents or Birthday Presents. 

Well that's it from me tonight am off to spend time with the hubby.

Love to All

Alison xx

Another Lovely Morning

Hello everybody hope you are all ok a hug is sent to those who need it.  I spent the morning yesterday with our gorgeous granddaughter Nicole and baby Darcy who gave me lots of smiles,  its amazing how she can turn this moody old git into a mushy cooing soft cantered bit of mush. 

Our main computer has decided it does not wish to play anymore so am having to use the laptop and am in the process of moving all the files over which is going to take days.

I also went to play this afternoon with my lovely friend Rachel and I had a card in mind which Pauline aka Cotnob did a few weeks ago using the  Designer's Directory USB and I am sure she will not mind that I pinched ahem borrowed her style to make this card

I borrowed Rachel's distress inks to colour the outside of the card, the cardstock inside is from my stash don't know where it came from.  The seahorse die is from the Joanna Sheen Signature collection.  I do hope you like it . 

I will pop by shortly to check out your lovely work again, thank you for the comments about the robot thingy will have to try again to comment without using it although I did try lol. 

Catch up soon

Alison
