It's Time for T stands for Tuesday and The 2nd on The Second

 Morning or Evening fellow T Stands For Tuesday. As I type this, it's sort of just gone midnight here, our clocks went back over the weekend, so it's really only just gone 11 on Monday evening, so, I'm early in a Time Travelling sort of way! On my desk there's a nearly empty Tea mug with a cat doing her exercises, this one is 'Lunges' There's also few die-cuts from some goodies I found at the Charity Craft shop. I'll use them later.

Not sure if this is a Tyrannosaurus or a Tarbosaurus! But he was very big and roared very loudly! Taken at The Eden  Project. It's very hot and steamy down in the Cornwallish Jungle!

I don't think Mr Jinx would've liked him! "Giv me Treats!"

And a Blast from the Past to celebrate the end of Oc'tomb'er, when I was on the Quirky Crafts DT Team. "Giv Us A Treat!" this was for 2nd on T Second post ( 2nd on The Second at Altered Book Lover)  but I couldn't find anything on a Tuesday on the 2nd back in the past, or anything to include a rainbow... but there is red and orange and yellow in it! So this was the closest I could get! This one was on a  Monday in October 2014!

Now,  back to this month.... The picture above shows us at a Town meeting we went to. That's us with our backs to you!  They want to build 170 odd houses, bungalows and flats (flats??crazy!!)in a small field in a tiny country lane near a Nature Reserve. "No way, José”!

The Grandkiddies are now out of self isolation! They're feeling fine and  are having lots of fun!

And, did you know? It's only 53 more days till Christmas!! Happy November!! Have a great 'T For Tuesday' day. Thank you for stopping by!

It's A Ginger Bread House Pop Up Card!

  At last, I can safely say I've finished The Ginger Bread House Card! ('No, you haven't! You haven't added that Happy Christmas sentiment on the inside yet!') Ok, I'll go do that next. Now you've made me forget what I was going to type! Oh yes, following on from the making of the Ginger Bread House in another post... the next thing that went wrong?? I placed the open card across an opened ink pad. Arrgh! Ink smuged all over the Gingerbread man! So I covered him with another one, along with the star and the tiny sweetie. Then added the sweet brad, from my stash,  over the inky mark on the top lefthand corner. Sorted!

This card came with all the goodies you need to make this pop up Ginger Bread House card (and many other things) in the kit Box 24 from Papercraft Society by Sam Callcott. Go HERE to see her 'live' Youtube toturial. (Fast forward to the good bits!)

Here's the card showing the Happy Christmas I've just fixed on!(It's not on any of the other pictures) The GingerBread man and woman where cut out of brown card wrapped around tins of (posh) cat food or tuna. I just love the brown colour on the inside. The Happy Christmas was die-cut from a band around tins of Stella Artois, and the next lot of gingerbreads will be cut from a 'Caramel Pots of Choc Creamy Desserts' wrap-a-round band. I throw nothing away!

The Back of the House

The gems are from my stash but everything else is from the kit. I used the bits from the cut out windows as the path, as my path die didn't seem to emboss like Sam's did(then I spotted that they weren't the same!) The Christmas Wreaths, I decided looked good as chocolate bagels with Hundreds and Thousands sprinkled on them!

A Sky view

 I've used Glossy Accents or Wink of Stella on most of the Sweeties. The roof is covered with some really lovely off white smooth glitter card. I did actually make the roof a little bit smaller. Any colouring was done by my Promarkers. And with any luck, it all folds flat and fits into a 6x6 envelope.

  As well as die-cuts, stamps and papers, card, sentiments and templates, there's also some white pompom ribbon, little candy canes,  a candy cane embossing folder  and a cookie cutter included in the set.

Opening the card

 Write your messages on the back

 Now, if you don't score down the middle of the sides of the house, you can make it into a cute little treat box or tree decoration!

 

 That's it! Thank you for stopping by. I'll try to add a video later. Hoping to add some...

Happy Birthday Kelly

 This was a quick card, I mean a quick card for me. Kelly's hubby rang the door bell, "Are you coming to the party? Can't find you on FaceBook." "Oh! Okay! Lovely! When?" "Today, in about three hours!" 

We don't really go to parties but I was weirdly knowing that we would be going ...which meant a Birthday Card! I'd only just that second spotted a design on Pinterest, nothing like this, but I thought, I'll make something like that. I've got the die cut for the wiggly bit in the middle, courtesy of a cardmaking collection kit called 'Apple Blossom'. (CraftStash had one of their offers on it some months ago) and I'd used the die a couple of times for 'paths'.  Anyway, skip all that, Here's the card.

8x8 card. All the backing paper came from a foiled 12x12 paper pad from The Range, (Craft Sensations) for about £4.00 (bargain) The small Happy B Day letters came from either, Trago Mills or The Range when we were down in Cornwall. 

 Now those Penny Black stickers~Stickeroos (hedgehogs and cats and dogs, there's a mouse on the back) I've had in my stash for about ten years! And they are still as good as new. I had a light bulb moment, wondering what I was going to use, as I was running out of time... and I needed something small, that didn't need colouring. So... Penny Black Stickers! ...all I had to do  then, was to remember where they were. 

 So as you can see I found them along with some gems from my stash. I wish I had time to add more, but I was actually sticking the mouse on the back as I shoved it into the envelope! Kelly has cats and dogs and ponies, so I hope she liked her quick card... and I hope the glue had time to dry! Later hoping to find same...

This Weeks Wednesday Freebie CLOSED

  First Thank you to Ike for  featuring my digis this week! Please pop over to her blog and join in with the challenge! There's lots going on over there! I must make time to draw more digi's and add them to the store! I'm sooo lazy... or just worn out! And! Hello to new FOLLOWERS! When I first returned to blogland after being away for so long a lot of my followers had also given up, so some of the faces disappeared. Now, if I click on them it doesn't lead to the blog as they used to, so it makes it harder to come and say 'Hi!' but I will try. Right... This weeks freebie, two Happy Snowpeople with their friendly cat...  I haven't thought of a proper name for them yet.  A Comment would be lovely! Thank you for stopping by!

PS> Enter This digi  (or any of my cat digi's) into Ike's Challenge and I'll send you any digi you like from my store just for entering!

 Here's a lovely card by Suzanne using this weeks freebie! Suzanne, you've won any didi from the store as a thank you! 

 Because I've been away from Blogland for quite  while there hasn't been any 'new' digis added, but hopefully, there should be quite a few loaded up in the next week!

The Beginnings of the Ginger Bread House...

The Red House from last week

  It's still not finish yet, my Ginger Bread House. My very first try, I splitched  (??) the card with different inks and then covered it in this  glittery silver stuff, which then reacted with the other colours and ended up a sticky sparkling mess. I put it on the radiator to dry. 

A week later, and now dry, this messy house wall doesn't look too bad!

My next  attempt I did in red card, as seen above, sadly that went wonky, well, it would wouldn't it? I'm rubbish at following instructions and much better at making something out of my own head... Umm?  No, that doesn't sound right...in fact.. ew!! 

  My next effort I decided to used craft card and used square die cuts for the shape of the house... and added the tabs. That way the square would be square....no chance of it going wonky. I  embossed the brown craft card with little candy canes, then after I stuck on the doors and windows, and used crape paper for curtains, I fixed one of the sides on. Perfect. Feeling very pleased so far... I then embossed and added some windows and a tree to the back square of the house and even decorated the tree with tiny gems... the only problem was... when I came to fix it to the rest of the house, I'd  only gone and suck  them on...upside down!  

Do not Adjust your set.

So, I started again with a new back to the house... so far, touch wood.... it's okay! (apart from the ebossed candy canes being 'in-bossed') I've made and fixed on the roof, (made it a little bit smaller) added sweets... covered nearly everything with Glossy Accents... Done the front of the actual card ... now I'm just waiting for it all to dry, so I can add the sentiment. What could possilbly go wrong!? Tell you later!

The front of the card so far...
