Ooops, nearly forgot how to sign in.....

Its been so long since I updated.... life has well and truly got in the way, and then my cat decided to have kittens in the middle of my bedroom and so I cannot get my craft stash out very easily, so decided to take a break.



I have now set up a new Stampers 8 and ladies I will be contacting you very shortly with all the details, I haven't forgotten about you, but have been busy sorting out the orders that have arrived over the last few days, not least the long awaited out of stock items that some of you have been waiting for since April, I guess Stampin' Up! never guessed the scallop punches etc would prove so very popular....



My diet is going well, since starting on the Cambridge Diet nearly 7 weeks ago I have lost nearly 2 stone, so well pleased with the results... I even fit into size 12 jeans, although they are a tinsy bit tight at the moment, but give it 2 weeks and they will be awesome...



Went to Alton Towers last Saturday, went on all the "must go on" rides, the oblivion, nemesis, enterprise and Rita, and in the evening there was a concert there of Christian bands like Superchick, Kutless and Band With No Name... an excellent time was had by all, not least my daughter who had the camera trained on her for a good 30 seconds... so I guess we will be looking out for the concert on GOD TV over the next few weeks.....



Anyway, I have actually made a card today, because it is my daughters birthday tomorrow, so really I had to make one... lol and here it is....

Basic Grey Wisteria Paper, new crinkled scallop edge punch from EK Success, Image is from the Greetings Farm and flowers are from my stash.... image is coloured in using copic markers... I hope that she likes it... hopefully I will be back tomorrow, but I have a card order that needs completing....

Have a good evening all xx

A Nice Relaxing Weekend....

We had a nice relaxing weekend, nothing too strenuous went on, but only because we had forgotten that the garden needed doing... lol

The weekend started with our meal which was very yummy, in fact very very yummy which we ate alongside a very nice Hardy's Chardonnay, my favourite white wine, the new look bedroom was very relaxing with all the candles lit too, must remember to take some photographs...

Little pug has had her big lampshade collar taken off today and looks much better now, she is now able to eat by herself as there is no collar to get in the way, so look out cats she will be after your food again...

And my card for today is...

Again mainly Stampin Up, I used the Bloomin' With Beauty Stamp Set, the retired Le Jardin Designer Patterned Paper, Pretty In Pink Taffetta Ribbon and the edge was punched using my Fiskars Border Punch. The Sentiment is from the Sincere Salutations Stamp Set and stamped in Always Artichoke Ink. Hope you like it....

Stampin Up are also bringing out a Mini Catalogue which will start on 1st April until 30th September, watch this space for more details....

I will be doing a Paper Share once the Catalogue comes out, you will get 1 6 x 6 sheet of all the Designer Patterned Papers in the current catalogue, plus 1 6 x 6 sheet from the 3 new packs in the mini catalogue, you will also get 1m of each of the 3 new Striped Grosgrain ribbons in So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue. So in summary

102 6x6 sheets of Patterned Paper, from current catalogue, plus the new PP from the Mini Catalogue

1.2" Grosgrain Striped Ribbon in Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and So Saffron. 1m of each of these = 3m

The total cost will be £20 including postage. I will also have a Level 1 Hostess Set to Raffle off, so one of the 8 lucky people will receive a Level 1 Hostess Set of their choice.

I need 8 people for one of these groups and this will be dispatched to you in April once the Mini Catalogue comes out. If you are interested please let me know at LindaLloyd@gmx.net

Have a good day all xx
