Competition cards

It's been a while since I did a crafty post :o)

Here's 3 cards that I made for a competition. The theme was pink and you got extra points if you used a brad, peel off and vellum.

I couldn't find any vellum (probably gave it to my cousin's daughter)

I've been tagged

Right, time to catch up. My very good friend Kerrie tagged me and I've just remember that I haven't done it yet - oops LOL

1. If a movie was being made of your life who would you like to be cast to play yourself? And why?
Oh gawd, the first question is hard. I'd have to say Kate Winslet as she's proud to be British (like me) and she seems to have a really nice personality.

2. You are spending a whole month on a desert island for charity and you have to choose your favourite celebrity to spend the first two weeks with & your least favourite celebrity to spend the second two weeks with, who would they be & why?

Most favourite - can I only pick one??? Okay if I really have to, I'll pick Peter Kay as he'll always be able to make me laugh no matter what happens.

Least favourite - John Mcruirck (sp?) - he's the horse racing bloke and he really really winds me up. I'd be tempted to throttle him by the end of day one.


3. What are your three favourite crafting products?
Cuttlebug, Brushable pens and Silhouette


4. If you could invent something to do anything what do you think it would be?
A time machine as I'd love more hours in the day. There just don't seem to be enough time to get anything done that I want to at the moment.


5. What are the last three books that you read?
Jason Donovan's autobiography
I can't remember any other books that I've read recently


6. QVC or Create & Craft?
QVC, although I haven't bought anything from ages as the P&P is far too high.

7. Docrafts or Dovecraft or DCWV?
DCWV


8. What is your claim to fame?
I haven't really got a proper claim to fame except that I was the first female electronics apprentice at my work. That was a few years ago ;o) and there hasn't been another one since - so either I was soooo good that no one could match me or, more realistic, I was really bad and they couldn't stand the thought of getting someone else like me LOL



The 5 people I tag now are:
Becs
Gemma
Nic
Jenny
Lisa

What a week!!!

Phew, I'm glad that the week is now over. It's been really hectic and I've done absolutely no crafting whatsoever.

Hopefully, that will change in the next few days but first I've got another busy couple of days.

Another big footie match for nephew today and then mum's going to hospital tomorrow to hopefully get an injection in her gum to relieve her neuralgia - the poor devil was in agony most of yesterday :o(

It's also my nephew's 19th birthday tomorrow - we've got his cake LOL

Roll on Tuesday when I might be able to try and make a card or scrapbook page - hope I remember how !!!

What a doughnut!

My nephew came shopping with me yesterday. For his lunch, back at my house, he wanted French stick bread with jam, yogurt and then one of those yummy doughuts that they smell gorgeous.

He opened up the Krispy Kreme cabinet and announced to everyone around him - which one is the healthy one LOL :o)

It got me thinking about exactly how many calories there were in those gorgeous, yummy doughnuts - wish I'd never looked now >>>

My favourite is the original glazed one and even that's got a whopping 217 calories in it. Thankfully, I was really good and didn't get myself one.

I'm too young ....

.... to have a 19 year old nephew LOL. At the moment, he's still 18 but his birthday is next Monday. Here's the card that I've made for him. I'm not sure about it but I think that's because it hasn't got any football or Liverpool related thing on it :o)



I tried telling him that, now he's going to be 19, he's to old for birthday presents from me. He soon told me what he thought of that idea LOL His nan (my mum) is even talking about getting him a birthday cake !!!

The stamp is (of course) a Penny Black and the papers are Pebbles.

They won!

While I was enjoying myself at Ally Pally, my nephew's football team won the WHSFL Division 3. I loaned my decent camera to my dad so that he could get some piccies.

New stash

I thought I'd better post piccies of my Ally Pally stash. I had a great day on Sunday with a lovely bunch of friends. If anyone was in the entrance hall around 1pm - we were the ones singing Happy Birthday to a very embarassed friend LOL







I bought most of this little lot when my mum turned up around 3ish. She feinted last year so now only comes along for the last hour or so. Amazingly enough though, I did come away with money!!!
