Cute Card Thursday

This CCT challenge was to include letters or numbers.  I've used a High hopes image that I love ...might have something to do with the dog! I've been playing with bits of copper art foil again, love these metal scraps. The papers are BG marrakech again! Coloured with  copics (including the WRONG colour that Denise ordered for me....) 

Riley has his training graduation tonight, if the thunderstorms forecast don't eventuate. That means he moves up to the big boys group on Thursdays then. Guess I'll have to get motivated and start entering him in shows ...kinda hard when we're moving into winter.  I'm more of a warm weather competitor! 

Doodle Palace & Something Shiny

I was "stamped" the other night by the lovely Dee & Robin from Doodle Palace. They sent me one of their very cute digi-stamps to have a play with and this is what I came up with.  Managed to combine a challenge too!! CCT this week is something shiny so I slapped on some stickles and cuttlebugged copper foil and crystal effects. Isn't this a cute frog? Paper and card is SU and the sentiment I created myself.

 The house has returned to normal, visiting puppy has gone, Riley might be allowed to stay a bit longer, till he's naughty again!....will let you know Trace when he is available for adoption!!!

Getting edgy

CCT challenge this week is to either tear, sand, distress or sew edges.  Think I've managed all of those!  Used up bits of SU outlaw paper left over from another project...just right for autumn I think. Found some copper artfoil buried in the mess , & I ran it thru the cuttlebug then sanded to distress it...don't think you can see that in the photo. Flowers, buttons, dewdrops and leaves from my ever growing stash. ( Gav had the cheek to call it junk the other day!!!!!He was suitably punished!)

 Been to physio again, waiting for an x-ray appointment now! I've improved enough to sleep most of the night but that's about it. To bury my frustration I have to keep buying more stuff....well thats my excuse!

EEEEKK!

Heart stopping moment, thought the computer had died, wouldn't boot, even from a boot disk.....HELP!  Turns out the external hard drives with all G's music somehow bogged it down ...whatever! We're working now!

 Here's my entry to Cute Card Thursday.  Challenge is to use any type of flower on a card. Easy!  My flower is from the new SU playful petals stamp set, cut out from SU designer paper. Pearls &  button are random from my stash. Card stock is SU, doodles are nesties. Coloured with SU inks and copics. Image is sugar nellie...again....

Blossom

Well, I guess I've been very uninspired the last week. Tired and sore means no desire to play with paper and stamps.  A friend who is training as a bowen therapist came around yesterday and set up his massage table in the lounge and I climbed on to be one of his guinea pigs  , oooops I mean case studies!  Well, Vinnie kept reaching up and grizzling to be lifted up, Riley kept leaping onto my back from the floor ( Yes, its official the aussie ginger is actually a kangaroo, he's spring loaded) and Abbie kept nudging me . So they were all banned from the lounge except Abbie who settled down beside the table to keep an eye on me.  We shall see if its helped at all after a follow up session next week.

 Spent the day at Tracy's yesterday getting her and Marise hooked on copics! (Copics are quite addictive you know).  I think Denise & I are now banned from her house.  

 I gave Trace the sketch off Tiets blog to do , and she did it, so I thought I'd better attempt it myself or I might be accused of being slack . Blossom is another sugar nellie stamp and she's pretty cute, but then they all are. I'm Cheating and adding this to cute card thursday challenge as well.
