Cameras and Sketches

No camera still, tis killing me.

In the mean time I did a sketch for Paper Craft Planet. And this is the card for it.
I quite like it actually, but mustn't toot ones own horn.



Anyway have a great day!

Hello, I am a craftaholic

1. I would rather buy a paper punch than see my kids go to uni.

2. I would rather colour with markers than make dinner.

3. I am still trying to figure out a use for pet hair in my crafts so that housework doesn't seem so dreary.

4. I never throw away anything..I might find a crafty use for it.

5. My children don't wear hand-me-downs, they wear hand-stamped- by-me-downs.

6. I have informed the fire department that if the fire starts in my basement, to not bother coming because there is more paper and accelerants down there than they can imagine and I don't want them to get hurt because there wouldn't be anything left to make them a card with.

7. I have been known to pack extra empty bags when going to stamp conventions.

8. I know my UPS, Fed Ex and mail carrier by name.

9. My blood pressure skyrockets when any box arrives with craft supplies in it and of course that is what makes a day good.

10. I swoon at craft stores.

11. I wear Depends when I watch online Live scrapping shows because I get so tickled by new techniques.

12. My next door neighbor suggested I buy the house next door for a "craft room"

13. My husband knows that when I disappear into the craft room I do not plan to eat or sleep for at least 24 hours.

14. I own more pairs of scissors than my family has hands.

15. I wear glitter on my face often and sometimes there are stray pieces of tape on the back of my pants.

16. I have ink stained fingers and at age 50 I am still investing in baby wipes.

17 I could stamp and scrap from now until I die and never need to buy another piece of paper, ink, tape or embellishment,

BUT I WILL because yes, I am a craftaholic, thank you for listening.

swiped from Meg at justcards but oh how true is it!!

have a great day

Slider card

First excuse the pictures. My brand new camera will take between 4 and 6 weeks to be fixed. It has to go to Sydney. Apparently Canon doesn't fix these here in Western Australia. I feel lost without it now.

So anyway... I received a slider card in a swap the other day. (Thanks Snoopy:) ) and I wanted to do one. Found where to get the tut from so go here.

This is the card I made.



It was so easy to do. So here is the slider card opened.



I also did a gift box for the group I am on for a front page competition. This is it.




Ok thats all for today I think. I hope you all had a great Valentines day. My other half gave me a box of roses. He decided the real roses he got me for our anniversery didn't last long. So he knows these will last longer hahah.

Have a great day.

More cards

Hello some more cards for you to look at. First one is a card that I made for a friend on one of our groups. She is collecting cards to sell for breast cancer donation.


This second card is a swap for another group. The theme was Valentines flowers and hearts


.




The last one, is another swap card. The theme for this swap was punchies, I don't have that many punches so I used my cuttlebug.

later.

Where does the time go ?

Well I don't know where the time has gone, Someone tell me where it goes so quickly ?

Anyway I belong to a couple of groups on the web that run card swaps. This first card I did for the "K" swap, we had to make something with the letter K. I went into this swap twice, being me. I made one card set it aside then a few days later made another, so I sent out two. The other card hasn't been received yet, when it does I will show it here.



This next card is for the another group. It was a birthday card.


Will post more cards later on.

Can't do any photos as my brand new over $1,000 camera broke :( It is going back tomorrow!!! Thank goodness for warranties.

So until next time have a great day.

Trish
