Good Evening to You All, I do hope everyone is well, but here are some positive thoughts for those who are struggling a bit just now.
I'm scheduling this post for tomorrows Friday Oldie, just in case I don't manage to get around to it tomorrow, loads to do on Friday.
Here is my offering;
A Christmas one this time and it's a Docrafts Stamp and Promarkers for colour.
Why not join in and share a handmade project that you've made a while ago, it's just for fun and it's good to see how your crafting has changed over the time. Friday Oldie was started by Erika of Snappy Crafts and it's been going a good wee while now, and it doesn't have to be a card, just something handmade. Give it a go.
Hello Everyone, I hope your well and your day has been good.
We have had another nice day here, turned cold tonight though, but what can you expect when we are galloping through October.
I've had a pants day trying to get my printer to work, and all because I downloaded Windows 10, I won't bore you with all the details, but I ended up having to go back to 8.1 Windows, honestly what a palaver. I had booked car parking at the airport and needed to print out the confirmation and the printer couldn't be found on my computer. All nonsense, I get so stressed by things like this, and Alistair has even less computer knowledge than I have, he just stomps around shouting about nothing ever being simple.... his way of lending support and being helpful..NOT.
Anyway enough of that and on to my make for sharing today;
A little pop up box card
I've used Tattered Lace Owl dies here and First Edition papers. The sentiment die is one of Xcut little mini dies, Centura Pearl cardstock.
I would like to thank everyone who left lovely comments on my last card and to welcome Barbs who is my latest follower, I hope you continue to pop in Barbs and like what you see.
Take care of yourselves and see you soon,
Good Evening to You and I hope you are having a nice relaxing evening, unless of course you're out clubbing in which case I hope your are having a bouncing evening. I'm way beyond clubbing now, in fact in my youth it was called going te the dancin. I have mentioned to Alistair a number of times that it's a pity that there isn't somewhere for older people to go in the evening in Inverness for dancing. I just love the old films where you see people having a twirl around the floor and having a cocktail or two and a live band playing. Those Golden Years long gone, even before my time, but wouldn't it be grand to have it back.
Well if you are a Shakespeare fan I would highly recommend Macbeth, a bit gory and dark, but beautifully filmed. Now I don't know Michael Fasebender from Adam, but I reckon he did a good job as the Thain of Cawder. At least his Scottish accent was fine, unlike Mel Gibbson's in Braveheart.
The Scottish scenery was fabulous, especially the scenes shot in Skye of the Quiraing.
Had a busy day house wise today, got loads of chores done, Alistair was away at a thing to do with archaeology as it's the Highland Archaeology week, he goes every year, but he thought it wasn't worth the £15 this year, pleased I decided not to go, some of the speakers were a tad boring and he dosed off.
Anyway, here is a Christmas card;
I bought a selection of Sheena Douglass stamps last year and never got around to using them, this is one of them. They are wonderful to colour and I've used SN Pens to do that. I have loads of Hunkydory embossed card, bought yonks ago, so I thought this navy and gold one would go well as a background. A bit of glitter and that was that. I could just go a lovely hot choc.
Sorry that the photo is a bit blurred, hope your eyes can take it.
Alistair has just brought in a coffee and a little gingerbread man, so I will say good night and thank you for your lovely comments on my Oldie,
Good Morning......just and how are you all today?? Crivens, another Friday! can you believe it!
Anyway, it's a lovely sunny day here in Inverness and I've got the fiddle playing going on upstairs at the moment, practise session move up from this evening as we are going out to see the new film of Macbeth. I believe it's all spoken in the original text. I grew to love Shakespear whilst at school and would read it for pleasure and have acted in quite a few plays as we had a teacher who had a passion for the Bard and drama and started a Shakespearean drama group. Looking forward to that.
For now though I have a card for Friday Oldie, where we share something we have handmade a while ago. Started by Erika of Snappy Crafts,just a bit of fun to see how our crafting has changed, developed, improved over time. There is quite a few of us have joined her, so why don't you, as I say it's just a bit of fun. Here is mine ;
Most of you will recognise this lovely LOTV image of sunflowers and I think I coloured them in with Promarkers. Just thinking how lovely this is and must use this stamp again.
Before I go I just want to thank everyone for the lovely comments on my previous card, you are so very kind and I do appreciated each and every comment.
I'm off now to fix the chains on our vertical blinds, Teallach has made such a mess of them I've had to buy new ones, the chains not the blinds, although he manage to rip one of the veins, he's some boy.
Have a lovely day and a super weekend and see you soon,
Hello to You All, I hope all is well with you today, but sending out kind thoughts to you if you're not.
Just popping in with a quickie post cos I'm busy doin nothing, working the whole day through, do you remember that song from, I think... A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court, sung by Bing Crosby? I wish it would be shown again as I can't quite remember the story, but I loved the song.
Anyway, I'm having a quiet day, haven't set a foot outside the door, but have Choral practise later tonight, so forced to go out.
Thank you for the lovely comments on my CCC card, you are all very kind.
Here is my card for today;
Using a fabulous image from Chocolate Baroque's Sparkling Trees set, I've coloured with DI and Creative Expressions Metallic Watercolour Paints. Sentiment and embossing folder from Crafter's Companion and, green Centura Pearl card.
Very simple and the inspiration came from a card that Florence Langley created a little while ago, so thanks for that Florence.
Of to pick up my knitting now, have a good Monday,
Hello there, how are you all doing?, I do hope all is well with you, but I'm sending out kind thoughts to those who are struggling a bit just now.
It's time again for another creations for the Christmas Card Club and this time it is Sylvie's choice which is Robins. I must say I think it's a great theme as I love these little iconic Christmas characters. We have a little chap who visits each year..... well I think it's the same one, but who can tell!
I just dread Teallch catching him.
So without further ado here is my card;
I've been going through my Little Claire stamps, so many I've bought but never got around to using, and found this one. Plenty of Robins here and it's just a little wee card, coloured with SN Pens, and paper and Kraft card came along with one of LC's Monthly Club Stamps, a few gems and a bit of glitter and that's it done, and it's flat and small enough to post.
Do pop into the other club member's blogs and see what they do. I really must get around to fixing it so that you can get to their blogs from here.
Thank you for commenting on my Oldie Card, I'm astounded that some of you thought it was good, you are all definitely most kind.
Well, I'm in rugby overload once again, and poor old Scotland got hammered again, och well we do loosing well, LOL!! That's me for now, enjoy your Sunday,
Good Afternoon Everyone, I do hope you are all well and enjoying this lovely weather that has unexpectendly arrived, but if your not so well, I hope you feel better soon.
I wan't to say a big thank you for all the lovely, kind comments on my last card, I appreciate the time everyone takes to visit and comment.
Well it's Friday once again, how quickly they come around and of course it is time for a Friday Oldie. This piece of fun was started by Erika of Snappy Crafts and you can find her here.
It's all about sharing a handmade project from times past and it can be anything, cards, knitting, scrapbooking. It's good to see how our crafting has changed over time, and it is just fun. So here is mine and it is a real oldie, in fact I didn't even know I still had this,
I found this when clearing out ringbind folder, and believe it or not it is the first ever CD card I ever did, well you can tell that. It's from MCS. I don't even know if I've done I suppose it's pyrimage properly. It's all been printed on cheap photocopy paper, with glue which is not sticking it all together.
The card base is a cheap one which hardly stands up. However the insert is better.
I just laughed when I saw this and thought the perfect project for today. I'm going to stick it all down better and stick it up on my gallery, which is the cupboard door of the spare room, just to remind myself of how I've improved.
I've been informed that there is on Corrie tonight that it's the Rugby again, so that means I'll be able to get around to visit you later on.
Enjoy your day and I'll see you soon,
