Thank you Jacky!

Hi all,

I just found that Jacky aka Paddington Fan, one of my lovely fellow trimmies and fellow DT member at CRAFT Challenge has given me this lovely award to put up on my blog. Thank you so much Jacky.

I understand I now have to pass it on to 5 other blogs I like to visit. So, here it goes (she already named some of the ones I like to visit, oops).

1. Annette, one of my fellow DT members at CRAFT Challenge, who has some lovely tutorials on her blog.

2. Tigerlover, my (nearly 13 y.o.) daughter and fellow crafter and team mate at CRAFT Challenge.

3. Sliekje, a fabulous Dutch artist, who loves drawing (and cats) and shares her gorgeous digistamps with all for free. Thank you so much Angelique!

4. Faith of Designed2Delight for her lovely digistamps always free to download first week of the month to start another progressive challenge.

5. and to a very new blogger to encourage her to get started (no entries yet, but I know she loves crafting), Ineke aka my mum.

And I also have to tell you 3 unknown facts about myself. That is always quite a tricky one. I have to think of 3 facts I haven't told you yet and that I don't mind sharing either, lol.

1. My hubby would love to ban me off my laptop as he feels I spend far too much time on here (blogging etc). He has a point to be fair.

2. As Jacky already mentioned, I'm a very busy woman, I work part time (supposed to be half time, but close to full time in reality), have a home to look after and a family and also am DT leader at CRAFT Challenge.

3. I really should be doing some homework or housework now instead of blogging.

Jacky, once again, thank you for your lovely award, so kind of you to think of me.

Love,

Jo.

Week 2 of 2011 for Designed2Delight.

This week at Designed2Delight there is another few lovely images for the challenge.  For this card I have used some of my own design papers, Muted Flowers. Hope you like the card. The cupcake is the free image Faith sent us this week, the cupid and the sentiment are freebies I collected from Digital Delights. I have embossed the basecard as well.

I have given this card to my hubby today as it is our 12th anniversary today. And as he said when he read it, that means the 16th of July is another special day for us. Isn't he sweet?

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing the image for next week.

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Love,

Jo.

CRAFT Challenge 85, Moving Components.

Morning all,

Another fun challenge at CRAFT Challenge this week. Fun for the creator (although sometimes agonisingly tricky) and certainly for the recipient of the card.

This week our sponsor is our previous team mate Claire aka HopeJacare. The prize for the winner will be their choice of 3 of her digistamps. Our team has also been able to choose a stamp to work with and many have. I have used one of her Car images. Hope you like it. The other image used is my Hot Air Balloon image on which I have added the number 5. This as my nephew, who the card will be for, will be 5 later this month. Hope you like the card.

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations. Do join us again to be in with winning 3 of Claire's gorgeous images.

Love,

Jo.

Designed2Delight, first image of 2011 for challenge.

This week at Designed2Delight there is another few lovely images for the challenge.  For this card I have used some of my own design papers, Red New Year. Hope you like the card. I have added cottonwool to the little sheep as that felt like the natural thing to do for this image. Hope you like it. I was thinking of using it for my anniversary next weekend, but hubby does not like other people seeing the card prior to him seeing it. Guess I will need to make another one before then, lol.

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing the image for next week.

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Love,

Jo.
