Happy birthday Sarah and card for Jenbob

Made this for a work colleague and dug out a fun image and sentiment that I had been given and raided my embellishments to make this card. Not sure if I like this card but not going to make another one lol.



Donated image coloured with promarkers, stampin up modern label punch, 1st edition 'boho chic' papers, Woodware scallop square punch, ribbon and buttons are papermania. Flowers were layered up and I added buttons.



This card was a sad card to make but i have sent it to Jen and family with my love and the card i had made for Sandra. its still doesn't seem real and that Sandra will just pop into the forum. ingredients for this card were Memory box 'prim poppy' die, Stampin up whimsical words stamped greeting, Oval and scallop nesties,Card and pearls from stash.

Been working part time during the Easter holidays doing paperwork so due in again today and am finding it hard to get going this morning. So will catch up with your blogs later x

Adaptor for the ipad

Hi all,whilst trying to tackle the ipad pic saga I came across a Adaptor that plugs into my ipad and uploads pics straight from my camera so I can still blog easier :)
So going to post 2 cards now for you to see the difference. First card has been taken using the ipad camera




And second picture been taking using my camera and uploaded to ipad via a compatible adaptor I got from the pc shop in town which was half the price of the apple one which I wouldn't have been able to get until Friday.




So can you tell the difference?
I can and quess who is a happy bunny now. Thanks for taking the time yesterday to comment and I knew the other way was not for me x

Two cards but almost the same!

Well having another bash at using blog press on my ipad but I fear it's the quality of pics that is letting me done :( how do I break the news to my hubby then that I want a better ipad lol










Anyway let me know what they are like when you click on the pics to make them larger. I used a gorjuss stamp ' bumble bee' on the first one and had a go at the sepia colouring as shown on Sarah Hurley blog. I enjoyed the effect and might use it again. Papers were from Docrafts 'Kraft notes', Marianne flourish die and 'simple banner' die by memory box. Oval nestie was also fished out for this card along with some lush Kort & Godt pearls. And both cards finished with a little bit of glamour dust.
UPDATE - added a better pic of the sepia card as pleased with this one.
Well i must be off as chores to do but will catch up with your blogs later x

A card and a update on my Sam

Hi all,yes its me that stranger in blogland,after having a rotten summer been struggling with my crafting mojo and just as i thought it had come back with the below card i lost it again when my beloved Sam took ill Saturday night and had a late night visit to the vets with a suspected infection at the time. Only for on Sunday to have a early morning  dash to the vets where i was informed another half a hr and he would have died!. (he had gone into shock and was severely dehyrated and passing blood) So he has been in on a drip and lots of medication (to control vomiting and upset tummy) and tests til last night when i was finally able to collect him as he hadnt eaten since saturday  and was pining. I had been visiting him but its not the same.

Sam at the vets

So hes not out of the woods yet as xrays have revealed a mass in his stomach so we are all praying its a good and not a nasty mass! So sorry for not popping by but just been working,cleaning the house (to be busy) or at the vets since then. Have a day off work today to look after my little man so hope to do some blog hopping in between being nurse and sorting his large collection of medications!
