Thank You Sizzix!

Just a quick post to keep my hand in today.

A good few weeks back tragedy struck, the handle of my Big Shot broke, I was devastated! I love my big shot, I use it on almost every project and I just knew I was going to be lost without it. I didn't want to buy a new one, not only due to the cost but because it was a Christmas present a few years back and I'm a sentimental kinda girl.

Anyway, a few days later I was on the Sizzix facebook page and I saw someone ask about buying parts for their Big Shot, it never occurred to me that I may be able to buy a new handle, I couldn't type my request for where to buy my part quick enough! To cut a long story short Sizzix sent me out a new handle, totally free of charge!!! Thank you Sizzix xx so I decided I would make them a thank you card, using my nice new handled Big Shot machine, and here it is...

I really hope Sizzix liked it as much as I did having my machine back!

I also entered it in the Cardmaking & Papercraft Challenge, let's hope I have better luck than last month!

Hmmmm, so much for a quick post...

Toodles xx

Running before I could walk

It seems I wasn't as well as I thought I was when I declared I was 'back!'. My heads a shed still so I haven't been crafting this last week or so but I wanted to post here so I don't get totally out of the habit.

I want to share my latest craft purchase with you and I think it was a bargain!!!

The gun (including a few glue sticks) was £3.49 and the packs of 20 glue sticks were £1.26 each, so all this for £6.01!

Check out the DIY section of your local Home Bargains store, it's amazing what crafty bargains you could find ;o)

Can't wait till my head clears and I can have a play with my new toy!

I'm Back!

It's 4 months since my last post, I can't believe it! I knew it had been a while but didn't think it was that long...

Sorry for my absence, a few things changed here and I got a little 'lost' for a while but I have decided today's the day I try and turn things around a little. (Wish me luck please and if you see me flagging, give me a push!)

Even though I haven't been posting I have been keeping an eye on all your posts and I have been seeing some lovely crafts! So it's now your job to keep up the good work and my job to try and reach your standards!


Right, now the crafty stuff...

I have been a bit crafty this last few months so I have a few pics to share with you over the next few days, I thought I'd do a few short posts than 1 long one so please bear with me.

I made this card for my niece's birthday, she was 30 (OMG 30!!!!) in June, if I didn't feel old before I sure do now!

I was pleased with how it turned out apart from the stars & streamers background paper, don't get me wrong I love the paper but I don't think it quite goes with the rest of the card, but that's all I had to work with at the time. In a fit of madness I decided to enter the card in a challenge I saw posted the other day (eeeeeeeek!), here's the link if you want to have a nosey and wish me luck.

Well I best put the tea on now or I'll have some very hungry misters on my hands soon!

Till later, toodles! xx
