Another day another card

I am starting to enjoy making cards again so here is another one I made last night.  I hope to get another one started before my granddaugher gets home from school.

What a day this has been

I have felt sleepy all day.  I'm sure if I had closed my eyes I could have just kept going on automatic.  I had my prayer group here this morning and I almost dozed off, they hadn't long left when my grand daughter Lauren arrived home from school.  We had some lunch and after my cuppa was finished I think I dozed again only for a few seconds.  So to wake myself up I thought I had better try making an atc for one of my swaps. a simple matting and layering an image from an old calendar, added some tiny gems on the corners and some roses.  I made one last night as well, again very simple image with words added and then triple embossed to give it some oomph.

Almost forgot

it is my nephews birthday on the 10th of this month so had to rush and get a card made for him so I could get it posted.   All the little charm and the skateboard weigh so much I shall have to get my son to deliver it by hand.  My nephew loves going to the skate park with his BMX bike and skateboard so I hope he likes this card.

Charms are from my stash, bicycle stamp is one I've had for years and hardly used. 

I pinched the skateboard from my granddaughter and removed the wheels before attaching it to the card.

The main card was put through the bigshot with a cogs mask.

In between

shopping and fireworks parties I managed to make 

1 card yesterday while crafting with my granddaughter but today I have done

 absolutely nothing. 

 No housework no crafting and only a very easy cook dinner.  I hope to get a bit more industrious  tomorrow. 

One more card

Just adding one more card, it has taken me ages to make in between crafting with my granddaughter.  I'm too tired to chat so off for an early (ish) night.  Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your comments. They are always appreciated.

Just finished

these cards over the last couple of days.  They are for family birthdays.  Now I need to clear my mess ready for making cards for my church to sell for a couple of charities.  Not really looking forward to doing it  as the samples I showed them were  a very high standard (for me that is) so I'm worried I won't be able to keep it up.  Oh well nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose

Got some

I got some new stamps from Chocolate Baroque yesterday so had a little play around with them in the afternoon.  I'm not really into halloween but there have been so many lovely fat pages and atc on show on Docrafts that it put me in the mood.  Pity is that the spooky house is to big for an atc so I'll not get that much use out of it.   I also made 1 birthday card, I am very pleased with as it's the 1st time I've succeeded the way I wanted with the Clarity Silver Birch stamp.  Off out for the day so will not be crafting again till this evening.  Thanks to all you lovely peeps for taking the time to visit and leave comments.
