The 2nd On The 2nd ...2014!

 Let's go back a few years to the 2nd of February 2014 and join in with Bleubeard and Elizabeth's Altered booklover 'Second on the 2nd' post.... 

Loads of things have happen since then. My Sis in law lost her hubby very suddenly, but has remarried. Cousins and Aunties and Uncles and parents have passed away. Bugaboo is no more. Quirky Crafts stopped for a rest and never woke up again. But the good things were, I ended up having two vans!  We did mend the pond! I've now repainted every thing in the garden in an Urban grey including the carport Hubby built in the lockdown. We had the drive paved, got next door to cut down their damaging trees and renewed them with a lovely hand made fence...added a Pergola and planted a Wisteria over it... so here's my 2nd on the 2nd...

Quirky Wishes for 2014

I'm a bit late tonight with my post as I'm really stuffed up with cold, and everytime I sneeze ...welll, you don't really want to know!! It's that Quirky Craft's time again. It's Gemma's turn to set the theme and she has chosen...

Wishes For 2014
 We're sponsored by Bugaboo and Sqigglyfly

I have many wishes for this year, one is to visit my daughter and grandson in USA, another is to repair the pond....it leaks, another, apart for winning the lottery, is to sort out my house and garden as I've been a bit lapse  for quite a while, after spending ages painting the fences, the shed and the little bridge in a nice soft green. Another wish is to get a nice little van or car to advertise my little Dog Walking and Pet Sitting business. So I've used four digi's from one of our sponsors. Bugaboo and made two cards almost the same.

Both cards have started off with Pinkpetticoat clouds with the digis printed over them  and inside some thin stripes. The outside stripes I made myself and you'll find them in the post below or above this one. Here  just click and save. I just made wiggly stripes using the colours I'd used on the card with my Promarkers.

 I've 3D-ed the house in one of the cards and the car and the house in the other. One of the cars has dogs on and in it too. There's also a bit of paws and bones embossing. (My newest folder that jumped in to my basket coz it was a little cheaper than it should've been) 

The map was cut from a free booklet, which came with a newspaper. I've cut out the bit where I live. Everything was edged in black but I ran out so some of it is paper and some of it is paper coloured with a black Promarker. (Sssh! no one will notice!)

One of the cards has a sentiment. The font I used is called Curlz MT it's the same font I used on my business cards. Google the name, some sites do charge but it can be found as a freebie.

That's my wishes for this year....although I wouldn't mind being thinner... but walking dogs does keep you fit!

Well, that's it, I'm off to bed with a hot toddy ...I've sneezed myself through this post, hope there's no way you can catch my cold via the internet! It gives a whole new meaning to a computer virus... or debugging! and Blogger is being a bit odd tonight and things keep disappearing!
Don't forget to stop by Quirky Crafts and join in!(This challenge of course in now closed!)  Thank you for stopping by!
