TST #21... What was i thinking.......

Morning Stampers.

Today's card is done yet again just in time for the Try Stampin On Tuesday Challenge

Here is this weeks sketch

i have had a huge and stressful past couple of weeks, with no real end in sight for a while....Family issues and this cards show it.

i don't have much to say except it is not a good one....in fact i struggled with even blogging it.

WARNING!!!!!   

Bad card ahead

You have been warned........

Sorry girls i haven't done your sketch any justice.

It needs something, but with my head not in it's correct gear i can't think how to finish it, it sat on my desk in a un-glued state for the past 3 days...in the end i just had to stick it together...and yes i was right ...yuck!

I might have to put the creative things on hold until i can get my head in to the correct gear.

But on a brighter note i was again lucky enough to make the top 3 picks over at Try Stampin on Tuesday last week

Here is my badge

Have a great day

TST #14 & Butterflies, bugs and Blooms

Morning Stampers,

I hope everybody had great weekend.

My weekend was a busy one, between work, a funeral and two big birthday celebrations, it was full on.

But last night i found a bit of quiet time to sit down and think about this weeks challenge over at

Try Stampin on Tuesday 

This weeks challenge stumped me, it took quite a while for this one to come together, but once i got started it just flowed.

Here is the sketch

Once again i have gone with a favorite colour combination, i have real trouble going past these colours. i just love the way they gel together.

Here is my card

So go on over to Try Stampin on Tuesday and have a go.

They release a new challenge/sketch every Tuesday.

Morning Stampers,

On the Friday just gone my mum and step-dad celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary, 

so i wanted to make them a card to celebrate, even though mum was out with me at our local theater watching the ever so talented "Herman Hermits" and "Gerry and the pacemakers".

This was one show we were not going to miss as mum and i both really enjoy the music of Herman Hermits.

And boy for singers who are not exactly young anymore they could move, it was a fantastic funny and enjoyable night.

For those of you who know who i'm talking about look at this don't they still look great

As for their card...........

This card was one i saw over at an Australian demonstrators blog.....

Bev Watt.

Go on over and have a look at her beautiful creation.

I liked it and saved it to "my need to CASE" file, and as i do when i'm lacking a bit of mojo i go to this file for either a CASE or just inspiration, and in this case i decided to do a CASE.

This is such a beautiful design, that i think i will do a few more for my "oh dear almost forgot" box.

Mum and dad loved the card. 

i feel a strange week coming on, well in someways it will be real slow week and in other ways it will go by too fast. With the V'8s in Hamilton this coming weekend business will be bit slow, but i have alot to do before the kids finish school for the term, and if it does not get done i can tell you it most probably wont get done until school goes back.

With the Teenagers being around full time i won't be able to get to the computer/craft room much, my house will be a constant mess and i will be eaten out of house and home.

Well have a great week ahead, im off to go stock up the cupboards, and to hide a few things so at least i can have a few treats as well.
