Back at last

Hi all
I know I have been away for a while but there was good reasons. Part of the reason was that there were just laods of things going on in my pink fluffy little world, but the main thing was that I have been having a new kitchen and utility room fitted. This has meant that my whole house has been a mess and covered in dust. I could'nt even get to my craft room and even when I did, I had to sort of attempt to craft all around the boxes on and around my desk, lol.
The rooms are nearly finished, just some painting to do, a cooker hood to fit and some new sofas still to come for the conservatory. But now I am looking at the front room thinking that that needs doing, lol.
Anyway, my card today has been made using an image from D'arcie Diaries, the papers are by Prima Marketing, the ticket is by Tim Holtz and the swirls have been cut using Magnolia dies.
I'll upload some before and after photos of the kitchen once it has been painted :-).

I know I have not been posting as much as normal but it seems that all of my time has been taken up making card orders. These are 3 orders I had last week for a girl who is working where I work on a University placement. She has finished her year of work and is leaving us but at the same time, she will be 21. I made 2 birthday cards for her and a leaving card. All three of the cards have been made using images from Darcie's Diaries. I won't bore you with the rest of the information, but if there is anything you want to know, just ask ;-)

Enjoy what is left of the weekend.

Wizard Tilda

Evening all

Well, hope you all had a better day than me, lol. Today was my first day back at work after having 6 weeks off to recover from my back operation. Everything was going fine until I decided to go out at lunchtime to get some fresh air. As I got in the car, I hit my back on the chair...................OUCH! What a lemon!

Oh well, the pain finally subsided after about 6 hours, lol.

Anyway, I thought I would make a Tilda card as I haven't made one for a while. As you can see, I had to draw a smile on her as non crafting people get a bit freaked out by Tilda not having a mouth?!?!?!

The card has been made using the Wizard Tilda stamp and has been coloured using ProMarkers. The papers are also by Magnolia, the star borders have been cut using a Marianne die and the stars have been cut using Spellbinder dies.
