OSAAT's New Challenge

It's Sunday, and yesterday was Saturday. (Happy Birthday John!) He had his new cook book, two new ...well... three new cook books... and made a guy in W. H. Smith laugh out loud when he got over excited about the pictures in one of them! But it's Sunday now so that means it's time for...

One Stitch At A Time's new Challenge.

Fabulous cards and makes last week so pop over to the Challenge blog to find out who won and who the top three are. This week the New challenge is all about ...

*New/Celebrations*

We've had that one, I can hear you say! Oh no, that was new crafty stuff, this week it's all about new happenings! Things to celebrate.(Of course I'll probably be changing all this later!) So, New Home, New baby, New Puppy, New car, New hair-do, New underwear...(well, maybe not!) New Shoes! (I had to get that one in!) A new direction in your life. Congratulations, (Granulation??) I mean Graduation! Birthday's, Father's day, Pass Your Driving Test Day, New Job, New Teacher, New bike! New day! Starting a new life, Wedding, divorce even!

This time I've made a rectangle easel card, instead of my usual square (so that's new!) The Image on my card is by the lovely Claire, Hope Jacare. It's a new release and will be available over in The Stitchy Bear Store, if not now, very very soon!
I added the extra hearts around the bag because I just wanted too, and loads of glitter. I've also added some Stickles glitter to the lovely pink papers. Who's are they? Some of you will know, other's won't. They're by Tinker & Co and you can download them for free HERE (Don't forget to leave some love)
There is another card in the pipeline also made with one of Claire's fabulous images, so please watch out for that too, later today or maybe tomorrow. (I'd really like to put it in it's own Post, then it'll show up in Mr Linkwithin!) My camera decided not to work yesterday and now it does, can I find where I put the card for 'safety??' No... of course I can't!

Sundae On Tuesday

Hello peoples! It's been a really lovely day today! (shhh! Don't tempt fate!) Here's today's card and as you can see I'm still on my quest to use up all my printed papers, mainly because my printer has gone on strike. It has ink but does not want to use it. Bit like - horse to water- can't make it drink, but they do like to swim! (another story, which I reminisced with the man in the pet shop the other day... me, wearing nothing more than a very skimpy pair of cut down jeans, bikini top...horse...sea and sand. I'm beginning to think I dreamt it all now)

Back to the job in hand, (which in my case, is a Harry Potter mouse, with red flashing scar light!) One card quickly made for a forum birthday! (Not too late this time) I found the insert first, which I have already used on another card ages ago ... I make them, and then scan them in so when I'm in a hurry all I have to do is print them out... but... yes... the darn printer!!! This is the original insert, as I must've used the scanned one last time. The green leaves are cut from this paper felt stuff. Have no idea what it's called. It's soft like felt but it tears like paper, left over from my Play School days.
And...suddenly I realise something...what??? Oh Poo!! Ummm.... I've posted this card off... with a few stamped images... with no hand made by Lyn on the back, no little Loony Lyn cartoon, no email... and wait for it.... UNSIGNED!! Oh! Poo!! Oh well, too late now! So if you get this card... it's from me!!
I'm sorry the card is a bit sparse, as I only had printed the Ice Cream Sundaes and the insert and one tiny bit of backing paper, which nearly fitted the front of the card, but not quite... Papers and the Ice Cream Sundeas, for those of you who don't recognise them and haven't seem them before, because they've been very quiet lately but now they're back, Tinker & Co and you can download them from HERE free!! Yes...Free... and HERE (that woke you up didn't it!) Hunt out their new web site store and their blog for other freebies too!
That's it for now...tomorrow it's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. I'll be at work so my post will be on timer. Also look out for two freebie didi digi's from me tomorrow...one on Wednesday's post and there'll be another freebie 'hiding' in my didi digi shop Spyder's Other Corner! Thanks for stopping by!!

Two 'Mad' Bears

As usual I'm late for the Midnight Madness Challenge #25. Thankfully they are a little behind us so I still have a bit of time. It was a nice easy sketch, even for me. I cheated a bit on the brad. I can never get those little legs in and the paper or ribbon to lay straight, so I cut them off and fixed the star brad on with silicon glue. The papers are all 'My Minds Eye'. The little bears are a download from Tinker and Co. (Paws For Thought) Very quick post this as I've spread everything over the desk and the bed (still dog sitting) and hubby has just said he wants to walk the dogs and go to bed! Least I think that's what he said! Oho, lovely surprise in the post today (I nipped home) Some paper flowers from Midnight Madness as I was one of the winners in their blog hop. (Look out for another blog hop coming soon!) My Halloween card was picked by Charlotte, one of their fabulous DT members...
I've just got time to say hello and a warm welcome((Wave)) to new follower Anesha! Who most of you must know as a DT member of loads of Challenge Blogs including Tilda and Funky Fairys and ...oops no! Have to come back later...umm...pop over and see some of Anesha's lovely cards... umm.... someone's turned the lights out...D'you think that's a hint!?!
