ATC's Teddy Love

Haven't made ATC's for ages but just lately I've been making three lots of three. Needless to say I got them all muddled up and nearly sent the wrong ones to the wrong swap! I actually got to the Post Office and that little voice in my head said, "Hey, aren't these suppose to be Love" and you know, for once that little voice was right!

These ATC's were made for a swap on The Cardmarking Down loads Forum. The theme was 'Love' (of course!!) I usually do them all differently, or a bit different, but this time I did them all the same, just slightly different colours. Pink, Red and Magenta.

I used Forever Friends clear stamps, coloured them using Promakers pens. The main paper was a freebie ages ago from ScrapGirls called 'Bright side papers Pink Heart' and I think they go quite well! There's a few Love themed freebies over there right now.

Back tomorrow with more ATC's... (The one's I muddled these with) and how's about a sneak peek of my first DT card for the One Stitch At A Time Challenge blog??? Hmmm? I might let you see a tiny piece of it!!! We already have 70 followers and we haven't even started yet! So don't forget to call in. It starts February 14th!!! 12 noon!!! Oh My Goodyness!!! Well, that's me done for the day!! Thanks for stopping by!

Toby's Terrible Card

"Quick mum, make a card for Toby." Who's Toby? For some reason I think Toby's about two...it turns out he's 36. So all thoughts of Thomas the Tank Engine suddenly disappear from my mind. "What's he in to? Cars? Bikes?" I skim through all my folders of backing paper Mad About Cards have freedowns, BBQ's, Count Down (The TV Show) Spanners, beer glasses, little boats, sheep with hats, ducks. "He's not really into anything, just a card with happy birthday on it..." "But that's boring," I say "That's okay, just do simple."
I find some paper in my ScrapGirls folder, with happy birthday all over it~it wasn't the one I was looking for but never mind. Add a bit of wiggly cord. Punch out the words Happy Birthday and stick it on with 3D foam pad. "It's boring!" I say. "It needs some thing else, "OK" says Tom (Son-in-law) "How about a tiger?" "Oh, yeah~I can find a tiger" sez me, "No!" says Emma, (Daughter) "an elephant would be better."..."Okay." sez me.
You see, I can never quite 'get' sarcasm, it goes waaay over my head.."Or a cow..."... "An aardvark!"... "Or a yak, yes a yak!" ...It's at this point I get the point and Toby gets a tortoise on his card...sorry Toby...my worse card ever...so let's quickly move on!!!

Happy HedgeHog Easter

Thought I'd better find an Easter Card as I still haven't made one yet! I was in the middle of making four birthday Cards and some forum swaps, when I suddenly remembered (oops!) It's our Wedding Anniversary on Sunday! How many years??? Quite a few...and a bit more!
I just can't think what to do card wise...pink and frilly? Nah... cute and cuddly ...mmm... so for now...here's a few Easter Cards I've brought up from the bottom...(which in time I'll remove ~that's the blog's bottom, not mine! ) because you can't really see them down there. The papers are Mad About Cards Freeby down loads and the Penny Black image was a swap from a forum buddy. The little pink corners were a free down load with other papers from ScrapGirls Thanks for stopping by, don't eat too many chocolate eggs this weekend and have a Happy Easter!
