I missed the deadline

Wow what a week its been, after a lovely day on Saturday I've hardly had time for any crafting - really don't know where time has gone to as I haven't done anything special. Anyway I did get a bit of time last night and settled down to do something for the "Less is More" challenge again. unfortuntely I wasn't entirely happy as didn't line the sentiment up properly (more haste less speed) but having said that I was going to post it anyway. However fate must have been against me as I didn't get on to the computer until well after the deadline - never mind these things happen as they say.

Crafty Saturday

Yeah, half way through the week already and counting down till Saturday. OH and daughter are off to a rugby match and son is in Venice on a field trip so guess whose got the day to herself - yippee. I've invited friends over and we're going to have a crafty day with a bit of lunch thrown in and lots of chatting tea and cake - yummmm

Busy, Busy, Busy

Don't get enough time for crafting at the moment - by the time I get home from work feel soooo tired and then once I've sorted out food for the family and fed our poorly chinchilla there isn't much time left. I did however manage to produce something for the Less is More challenge (see previous blog) and while sifting through my stamps came across a set by Dimension Fourth and made these in the two different colour ways.

Think I quite like these and might make a second submission to the Less is More challenge with them.

One Layer Challenge

This week's challenge over at Less is More is a one layer card and having plucked up the courage to submit my very first challenge entry last week and encouraged by the kind comments left I have come back for another go.

I'm not entirely happy with this but knowing it's unlikely I'll get a chance to do another thought I'd give it a go anyway.

Thanks to Mandy and Chrissie for creating this blog - I managed to have a look at most entries last week but this week seems to be more popular than ever so not sure I'll get round them all.

B is for Birthday - Less is More

Have been looking at all the recent entries for the new challenge blog Less is More and thought I might try doing a card using white, pink and black - this is what I came up with as a first attempt

Time Flys

Well its been over 12 months since I last posted but I have been dipping into everyone elses blogs to check out whats what.

Got a poorly chinchilla to cope with at the moment - he's had bad teeth and is now not eating properly (probably because it hurt before) so I'm having to syringe feed him bless - he looks soooo cute when I'm doing it.

Thought it might be about time I tried adding a card or two occasionally so here goes.

This is a card I made for my other half some time ago - the pints of beer are set inside an appature and can spin around - didn't think it too bad an effort for a first go at this type of card.

Right off to have a little look at what's new elsewhere.

Where has time gone

Can't believe I started this blog in September and this is only my second post - where has the time gone???
Don't seem to have had much time for crafting lately (apart from the obligatory christmas cards that is) work is manic and I just get home and collapse in a heap.
Maybe I ought to make a new year's resolution to organise myself a little better.
May not have posted much, but have been peeking into other blogs and making mental notes, ready for when I do get some time to craft - keep up the good work
