Colour Create challenge - white

Hi there, well this week the Colour Create challenge requires you to only use white except for the main image. Very challenging but the DT have come up with some outstanding examples to inspire us all.
The image I've used for my card is Winter Wonderland by Sugar Nellie. I got this stamp this morning from Lyndsey Marie's new shop "Lora Crafts" which is very near to where I live. So pleased that Lyndsey has been chosen to stock these fabulous stamps, well done Lyndsey.
Back to the card. I coloured the image with copics and cut it out with the nestie label die. The snowflake I cut on the cuttlebug and embossed the snowflake panel on the cuttlebug too. Getting plenty of use out of the cuttlebug today. Added two layers of card which were cut with a scalloped edge blade on my Woodware cutter. I added white glitter to the snowflake, scalloped borders and the little flakes on the image. The pearls, ribbon and trim are from stash and the greeting is Craftwork Cards from Lyndsey's shop.


Just off to the hospital now to see poor John. Do hope he's picked up a bit today.
Bye for now,
Love Pat x

Tuesday Taggers - Burst of Colour

High there, where does the time go? Another weeks gone by so it's time for Tuesday Taggers challenge again. This week the theme is Bursts of colour influenced by fireworks. Mine actually has a firework feel but you don't have to, just anything that fits the bill of bursts of colour. Remember you can create anything you like not just cards, which should give your creativity plenty of scope.

Please check out all the DT members creations on the TT blog and more importantly please join in with the challenge. This week the Craft Barn are sponsoring us so you could win a £15 voucher to spend on their fantastic new look website. Why not check the site out by clicking the button on my sidebar.


I decided to make a tri-fold triangular card. The image, which I water coloured and highlighted with stickles, I downloaded from Elizabeth O Dulemba's site. I created the word in Wordart and the curling ribbons are from some I had left over from present wrapping last Christmas.

Do hope you'll join us this week and I look forward to checking out your creations.

Hugs, Pat xx

Happy Mondays?

Hi there, well I thought I'd just pop on here while I'm waiting for an ambulance to take John into Hospital. It's better than twiddleing my thumbs. He's been poorly since Thursday but got considerably worse by yesterday. I checked the leaflet that came with the antibiotics he was given and it said you shouldn't take if you have a disease of the nervous system, well John has MS which affects the nervous system. Contacted NHS direct who got the out of hours doctor to phone and he said to stop the medication right away. Upshot is our own doctor came out today, that's a novelty in itself, and decided the best thing was to get him checked out at the hospital. So hopefully we'll get to the bottom of what is wrong and have him home quickly.
I've felt like a spare part all morning waiting for the doc and feeling helpless. Decided I'd cut out some snowflakes on the Cuttlebug so who knows I may get some chrissie cards done sometime soon, funny aren't I?
Sorry I haven't come on with some fantastic creation or some cheerful and interesting conversation but hopefully I'll be back in action soon.
Love, Pat xx
