I was supposed to be out in Horsham for lunch today but my friend phoned in sick so we had to cancel...what to do then?...
Well, unexpected crafting session and even though I had nothing planned I decided to rummage through my scraps and set myself a challenge to use up some old bits and bobs and see if I could rattle off some pretty cards!
So the challenges I followed...
Penny Black Saturday Challenge...Shabby Chic.
Oldie but Goodie...Lots of Sparkle
The pretty little Ribbon Shop...use pretty ribbon
Charisma Cardz...Glitter it
Sentimental Sundays...use a Birthday sentiment
Flutterby Wednesday...Open theme BUT mustuse a Butterfly, Angel or Fairy.
I'm always a bit worried about Shabby Chic...can be very subjective.
I hope you think these cards are getting there! I was really happy with the end result and I made another card..so 3 in an hour!
Photos also loaded up very quickly and laptop not playing up...Happy days!
(If the Purple Princess is reading this...I could not get up the comment box on your blog yesterday...then couldn't type on Craftbubble and now I can't find your e-mail...can you e-mail me with it please).
I'm out at 5 o'clock with my two best mates and our thitreen year old daughters to have some food and then cinema to watch the new romance film with Anne Hathaway...looking forward to that!
Thanks for dropping by...TTFN...xxx
It's always great to be able to use up some older stash......very pretty cards.
