Hi here is my KISS challenge I found this one difficult!! I wanted to use my bug/nesties/promakers none of which I had when I first started. so ...


I used 2 sheets of the cheapy shiny paper which came free in a magazine and used a strip and 2 squares cut from one then matted a free sentiment on card.I must admit now its finished I am quite pleased.

I am just back from Papercraft Boutique/Funky kits ( some of you know its my local craft shop) I bought 4 lovely stamps in their sale Cute as cupcakes,Guardian Angel,Demure and Gorjuss-foxy and spellbinders borderabilities deckled scalloped border and 3 more promakers with the last of my christmas voucher so once dinner is over I am going to craft whilst DH watches the footy. If succesful I will let you know.

Nice one OAP. I know what you mean about finding it difficult because you want to use what you have now. I did emboss mine with my bug but I just used a card blank and no papers so I forgave myself :rotfl: .

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around but I'm still fighting this rotten cold, and looking at the screen makes my eyes hurt, though I have just read 20+ pages :eek:

Great cards Furry, Glittermum, CT, Tomsmum, Sunrise, wam, Padster, jazabele, lei, Palema, NE girl, flourgirl, Mel, Rusty, Rainmac, choccy, Myz, Butterfly, louby, Popkins, Marg, dragonllew, Sally and OAP :T:T


DTB - hope things have improved for you this week

Rainmac -Glad you didn't have to trek to school to get DS. The side roads here are still covered in snow and ice

Louby - fingers crossed Harrys appointments go / have gone well

Mary - hope the medicine is working now

Popkins _ I saw a trollley like yours yesterday and was sooo tempted

Sunrise - congrats on your sale

Flourgirl - well done on your win

Craftygranny - thinking of you all x

Tomsmum - thanks for the advice about stamping, I was given my first one at christmas and am yet to pluck up the courage to have a go

CT - glad you're home safely

RustyFlange

Rainmac - Glad you got the better end of the deal!! we had a good 10 mins of partial snow/rain and it has rained all day for the last 2 days, if the temp drops we will be screwed as it is very wet and will all just turn to ice!!
Love the look of the challenge on quixotic, thanks, although I am put off cause of the beautiful DT cards, they are really posh ones!! ... I did find this one today though which I think is quite hard but very challenging and I keep turning this one over in my head!

OAP lovely card

CT - what an awful say for you!! hope things improve!

Jessica Rabbit - Nice to see you back :j hope you are well?

Skiergirl - Get well soon!!

NEGirl - Thankyou for the link to the challenges, I am now a follower! :j

I have been playing on the Wii with the kids, it is hilarious!! I have always been so strict about kids using computers, DS never had his first computer til he was 4 which was a 2nd hand ps2, but he had a Vsmile at 3 but they are different cause they are learning based! ... I always said he was too young, then tonight I set DD away on the Wii :rotfl: how naughty am I!

sunrise - what a lovely card...........the knitting just sets it off.

Medicine seems to have worked - GP gave me enough to last for ages, took one yesterday and haven't needed one since.............(touching wood scratches head frantically!)

I just ordered (well I think I have) some basic grey paper from craft superstore..........what a carry on..........dont just need password, need c/card password of some descreption as well :eek: Just hope I have actually ordered it.............took me ages to look through it all................:eek: (eyes popping out!)
