Phew I`ve had a very busy weekend.
We have been really busy at work and on friday I was asked to do extra hours. That meant that all my plans to have a good clean up on friday morning, leaving saturday mostly free to craft, went out of the window. I spent most of yesterday catching up with housework and laundry. Today our Christmas work rota begins and guess who had to work 10 til 2. Not my idea of a restful sunday believe me. I think I`ve gone off this working for a living lark...
Anyway, two of the girls at work had birthdays last week so I made them each a card.
The dotty DP and the images are by Pink Petticoat.
I`ve used my Martha Stewart Doily punch along the bottom . I`ve added some plain paper and also punch it.
Parts of the images have been coloured with watercolour pencils and then glittered with Glamour dust.
On Coleens card I`ve added some contrasting chocolate ribbon with a bow and on Tracey`s I`ve just used ribbon.
The images have been cut out with a circle nestie and then centred on a scalloped circle in the plain paper.
That`s all from me for now. I have a day off on wednesday although I have been told it could change. Whenever it is I shall definately be crafting, fingers crossed.
Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx
Love them both, I haven't got a favourite. It's a shame that work has to interfere with crafting isn't it? No useful tips today then, lol? xxx
ReplyDeleteSorry your crafting got interrupted! Love both these cards I bet your new workmates did too. What a good idea to use those smaller images in circles-I will be CASEing this!

Hi Lynne
ReplyDeleteSorry that I don't have time to visit your blog more often.
Your last works are great and very beautiful.
I loved the card with the title Shabby autumn.
I wish you a wonderful sunny day!

Hi sweetie these are both gorgeous, hugs Pops x
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne,
ReplyDeleteThat's just what I do; Friday housework and Saturday is for cards. I get really miffed when something spoils it. Going to work is a real nuisance!! Love both of these cards and like the way you've personalised them. xx
PS Where's your tip for today?! xx
These are pretty Lynne - they'd make a great set. No tips on how to clean a whole house in 5 minutes so that you can get on with your crafting then?!
