Tuesday Taggers Challenge

Hi all, well what a dismal day it is here and really blustery too, a day for staying home crafting that's for sure. We are having some work done on the house and there is dust everywhere, even in the bathroom upstairs and the jobs in the lounge downstairs. Looks like I'll be spending tomorrow cleaning aaarrhh!

Right back to the reason for this post. It's Tuesday so that means it's time for another challenge over at Tuesday Taggers. This week the challenge is to create something using a jar or bottle and there's a tutorial to help get your crafting juices flowing. The DT have come up with some great ideas so why not pop over and check them out. To tempt you the challenge this week is sponsord by the Craft Barn who have generously donated a £15 voucher, the winner will be chosen randomly.
Here's my little number.



Sorry the picture's not too good as the light is poor today and I'm working under difficult conditions with the workmen here. Anyway basically I took an old bath oil bottle that I had kept just incase I "needed" it and it's a nice shape. I filled it with some bath oil and added some dried stems to look pretty. I stamped this lovely fairy image (one I got for 50p from Gail of Circa Design) onto silver paper and embossed with ultra fine gold embossing powder. Sorry the picture doesn't show it too well but take my word for it it's pretty. Cut the paper to fit around the bottle and added some silver and gold curling ribbon and a bow from ribbon in my stash.
Well that's it from me for the moment, thanks for stopping by.
Love,
Pat xx

And the answer is..................

Hi all, hope you are having a good weekend, no rain here today yippee!
Well Betty & Anne guessed correctly who the other young lady is on the 60's theme card, drum roll..................
It's Jean (the Shrimp )Shrimpton, well done Betty & Anne.
No cards to post today although I have been creating but not able to post pics yet as they are for another "project".
I managed to pick up a couple of bargains today while I was out at Telford. I got some corner round scissors for £2 and a Fiskars large circle punch for £5. Mind you I spent what I saved if you know what I mean. Popped into Marks just for a look around and came out £100 poorer. I got a corduroy jacket and a lovely jumper so I'm starting to get my Autumn/Winter clobber together, well I'm certainly not buying any summer outfits.
Well off now to print some papers and finish off a couple of cards and then I'm gonna settle down and watch the Xfactor.
Take care,
Love, Pat xx

SIL Birthday card

Hi there hope you are all having a good day. First of all no-one has come up with who the other girl on the card is. The suggestions so far are, Bo Derrick, Sarah Miles and Mary Quant. I'll leave it another day and then put you out of your misery.

Right here is the card that I made for my SIL's birthday today. He reads loads of books so when I saw this bookworm image on Michelle's blog I thought it would be ideal for Stuart. It was downloaded from here Elizabeth O Dulemba. Thanks Michelle for the inspiration.

I coloured the image with copics and layered onto gold mirri. The rest is pretty self explanatory

Well please let me know what you think, I'd really appreciate it and I'll come and visit you.

Bye for now
