Another busy day

 No time for card making at the moment as I have another busy day ahead.  This morning is the weekly coffee stop to which I chauffeur a group of senior citizens too and then bring them home they are all a really good bunch and I do have a laugh they are so saucy at times.  I then have to make spaghetti bolognaise with a vegetable option to take to Sarah’s as this evening is our sewing course.  But before that I have my covid booster jab but even though I have an appointment the wait time can be over an hour and there is nowhere to sit so by the time I have got to having the jab done my back will be killing me.

Todays card is another one that I made at Rachel’s house on Saturday using a clarity stamp stencil which I love and just had delivered.

Rather than use a silhouette image I decided a rainbow one to brighten up a dull day.  I hope you like it.

Lots of love

Why are there not enough hours in a day

 Morning everybody

Another busy day today, this morning I have to go into Ivybridge which is about 5 miles from where we live to pick up my medication, and go to see a couple who I am giving computer lessons to.  I then need to type up the minutes from a meeting I attended on Friday and distribute them.  I then need to work on the the list for the pensioners fortnightly lunch which is this week and take the numbers down to the local pub so they know how many to cater for.  I also need to pop into Plymouth about 15 miles away as I need to pick up an order from Hobbycraft.

I made another card over at Rachel’s and here it is used a 3d embossing folder and used a brayer to add ink to the folder before putting through the machine to emboss I then glittered the pine cones and added a sentiment.

That’s it for now will pop by your lovely blogs later today

Lovely Morning Crafting

 Hi everybody

I went over to my crafty friend Rachel’s yesterday morning for a catch up and play as I still don’t have much in the way of stamps, ink or embossing folders yet Rachel is kind enough to let me use her stuff for which I am so grateful.

I bought this stamp at the Exeter craft extravaganza in September and thought I would use it to make this card very simple card to make think the stamp is a woodware one I added some glitter to make the flowers pop.

I am busy until Tuesday as tomorrow morning going over to a friends house to give her computer lessons, in the afternoon I have my sewing group.  So will catch up with you all probably Monday evening.

Love Alison

Leaving Card

 Afternoon Everybody

I think I have caught up with all your lovely blogs if not I will do so tomorrow.   I am off out later this afternoon.  Sarah our youngest daughter wanted to do a beginners sewing course and didn't want to go on her own so she booked me in as well not that I need it but you never know might pick up some hints and tips.

I made a leaving card as Sarah sells my cards at work and thought that a couple of these may sell as people come and go, I found a couple of house mouse cd's that I bought years ago so thought I would use them so this is what I came up with.

Am off for lunch just now but will catch up with you all again tomorrow

Love Alison 

 

Christmas scene

 Afternoon Everybody

Its been a housework day here in Devon, dusting, hoovering, even tidying my craft area lol.  I then came out to make a card wanted to push myself into doing something a bit different, I don't have a lot of crafting supplies but will get there eventually so I have to make do with what I have to hand.

I bought this image from Polkadoodles, I do so love their images.  I have come up with this 

I

I was going through my computer files and finally found my watermark from years ago which the lovely Annie made for me many years ago and although I got rid of all my stash I kept all my computer files with images etc on an external hard drive so am able to use all the digi stamps I bought years ago.  

Sorry waffling.   Well that's it for now will catch up with everybody soon.

Love Alison

Busy morning
