One for the Boys

Evening All. I'm sorry I've not been around for a while - what with everything that's been going on, I needed to take some time out to get my head around everything and back in the right 'place' if you know what I mean and I wanted to make sure that I was 100% ready before I started blogging again. But I am, and here I am! And while I've been away, I've been making lots of cards so I've got plenty to share with you....starting with this one! I've finally managed to make one to join in over at the Sugar Bowl, which is Challenge 86 - Marie Therese's Sketch - I even managed to meet the theme 'One for the Boys' whoop, whoop. Here's my card:

Ingredients:

Image - Simply Sassy - Sugar Nellie/Funky Kits watercoloured with distress inks.

Papers - My Mind's Eye.

Die - MFT die-namics.

Other - Rub-on sentiment - Crate Paper, Buttons from stash, Brown card - Bazzill Basics.

After such a long time off-line, I had about a million emails to catch up with so I went through all of those yesterday and now I'm going to start on catching up with all of you - I just hope I've still got some followers left. I've missed being a part of blog land and I'm happy to be back - I hope you're happy to have me and that you like my card. Back tomorrow........xx

Morning! I must apologise to my teamie's over at My Mum's Craft Shop Challenges cos in all honesty, I've been a c**p member of the team lately but I hope they can understand that I have had a huge amount going on. The current challenge is Red, White and Blue and here's my card:

Image - Lili of the Valley coloured with Spectrum Noirs.

Papers - October Afternoon 'Rocket Age'

Other - Stars cut from cuttlebug embossing folder, star gems from stash.

I hope you like it. I'll be back again soon - don't forget to join in with the challenge! TTFN....xx

Evening!I think everyone was so busy enjoying the jubilee weekend that no-one put the post up on the
Sunday Sketch and Stamp blog. Thankfully, Gry came along to save the day! Here's my card:

Ingredients:

Image - Sugar Nellie coloured with Spectrum Noirs with glitter on the wings.

Papers - My Mind's Eye.

Doily Die - Cheery Lynn.

Sentiment - Whimsy.

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts.

Also used: Paper lace tape and gems from stash.

I must apologise for going missing again - the news from my aunt's PET scan wasn't good, I'm afraid and my family have been going through a really hard time - and a huge thanks to those of you who left me some really touching comments - I can't thank you enough for being so supportive, it means the world. I don't want to go into it too much at the moment because we've come away for a week to try and take our minds off of it, so I'm trying not to upset myself. Anyway, I hope you like my card and I hope you've all had a good weekend. Bye for now..........xx
