Afternoon everyone hope you are all having a good day. It's quite a nice day here in the West Midlands today so I've been out and cut the front lawn and now I'm n******* so decided to do a little bit of blogging while I recover.

I had a lovely little package today from Betty who has kindly sent me some of the crochet flowers that she's made and I am thrilled to bits. I had been hoping to make some myself but because of the eye problem it was proving difficult. Anyway my very kind friend Betty came to the rescue. Keep a look out as before too long I hope to be posting a little number including some of the crochet flowers. If you haven't visited Betty yet you might like to pop over and visit 'cause she makes some wonderful cards and always has something interesting to say. Thank you Betty.

Sorry I haven't got a card or creation today but I've been busy on a project which is now complete and that I'll be able to display next week. Wish I could manage to fit as much as Jacqui, how she does it all I shall never know.

Well I've had my rest now so I'd better go and and sort the ironing but I might have to make a slight detour via the craft room.
Catch you soon,
Love, Pat xx

Tuesday Taggers - Flowers.

Hi there everyone, hope you're having a good day so far. Wet again here but hey we can get more crafting done.

Well it's Tuesday and that means Tuesday Taggers challenge and this week the topic is flowers.There are no restrictions on what you create along as there are flowers somewhere in the design. As most of us seem to use flowers in our project I don't think this will be too difficult to achieve! Why not pop over and take a look at all the DT fantastic creations and then I'm sure you'll feel inspired and join in this week.

Well here's my little number............

I found a template on my computer that I had scanned in some time ago and decided this challenge was the ideal time to use it. I used basic grey paper for the background edged with brushed corduroy distress ink and for the two larger flower layers which are hand cut. The flower centre was made by stamping (Cute Companions stamp set)onto an odd piece of paper from my box and a jewelled brad added in the centre. The ribbon is from stash. Quite a simple card to make but I'm pleased with the result. Hope you like it too.

Well better go and get some food shopping done , boring!

Catch you later

If you take a look on my sidebar you will see two awards that I've been given by the lovely Linda. I really feel honoured that she passed them on to me. If you haven't already please take a look at Linda's blog. She does some fantastic creations and is a great blogger.
I would like to pass these awards on to the lovely people out there that follow my blog because I really appreciate your kind support.
Enjoy the rest of the day,
