Whew, Nearly The Weekend....

Well it seems like it has been a long long week this week, although it has been really nice to have some sun on most days, a pleasant change, even if it has been frosty in the morning. Have done a lot more walking this week in an effort to lose weight and I have only lost 1/4 lb, less than ever, what is going on, and tomorrow we are taking the boys to London and will be eating out and my willpower is virtually nil in these situations, so will have totally blown it for Monday. Plus husband and I have decided to cook another nice meal this Friday, he is cooking main course and he wont tell me what it is, but 2 parcels have turned up this week from Lakeland... should be interesting. I am cooking starter and dessert and he doesn't know what it is, but I guess he will once he looks in the fridge... lol Plus I have bought a nice bottle of white wine, we normally drink Hardy's of some kind but this week I have opted for Jacobs Creek Pinot Grigio or something like that... (DH is the australian one).... lol

Anyway, have been busy today packing up my Stampers 10 orders for my first group, and their parcels are whizzing their way to them at this moment, so hopefully they will get them tomorrow. They also have a little gift from me in their parcels too, hope they like it. Dont forget team, I have posted K Werners Colour Challenge on my Member's Forum and if 5 or more people submit a card for it and post it on my forum I will be giving away a free stamp set to one lucky randomly picked winner, so if you think I am not good at this, it doesn't matter, I wont be judging anyone's skills, just picking a name out of a hat... but, you've got to be in it to win it.

If anyone is thinking of becoming a Stampin Up Demonstrator, please e-mail me (LindaLloyd@gmx.net) for a great offer coming up soon, and all the goodies you can get free. You can sign up as a hobby demo just to get your own Stampin Up Stash at a discount, so contact me with any questions with no obligation to sign up...

And on to todays card...


The cardstock used is Stampin Up Really Rust and Blush Blossom, and the stamp I cannot remember who it is, but the sentiment is from the Stampin Up Set One of A Kind. And that is it for this week, I am now off to start our starters..... have a really great weekend and take care of yourselves... xx

K Werner Colour Challenge....

I thought today I would make a card for the K Werner Colour Challenge just because the colours are so awesome, but when I sat down to make it I didn't have a clue what to do, so I also went for a Mojo Monday Sketch....

and this is what I came up with....

All the cardstock is the suggested colours in the challenge, the patterned paper is from Stampin' Up!, the Real Red Patterned Paper is only available if you get a Level 1 Hostess Set and is in the 6 x 6 Patterned Paper Pack. The brads are also Stampin' Up! in Black, Green Galore and Real Red. The Image was stamped using the Live Your Dream Stamp Set and the Sentiment is from the God's Blessings Stamp Set.

And here is the inside using Real Red, Whisper White and Basic Black Cardstock, scalloped using the Scallop Edge Punch, the Patterned Paper is So Saffron Patterned paper and the gems are from my stash. Hope you like it...

Thank you for the comments on my little boy's face, it looks much better today with only his lip and forehead noticeable. He did go to Beaver's last night and is being enrolled next week... but he was worried about going to school today as he thought everyone would laugh at his face. I asked him if someone else had hurt their face would he laugh at them... he said "yes"... not quite what I was expecting, but I followed it up with "then they are entitled to laugh at you aren't they"...which he then had to think about.

Have a great evening everyone xx

K Werner Colour Challenge.....

So here is this weeks K Werner Colour Challenge.


And here is my take on it, I have had to use Sage Shadow instead of Baja Breeze as the UK does not have Baja Breeze (unfortunately... all the colours we dont have are so lush)...





For this card I used all the colours above, A Rose is A Rose Stamp Set, and God's Blessings Stamp Set, the Ribbon is Pumpkin Pie too....

If you are a Member of my Stampers 10 Clubs, this challenge is listed in the Forum, as from next week (and the new Colour Challenge) every member who enters will be in with a chance to win a small prize...

Have a great weekend everyone xx
