Sorry your Sick

Pin It

Today's card, I started before I went to work yesterday.

I worked a double shift, so I was in need of some me time so off to the craft room to complete.

 I have used this weeks The Colour Tree TCTC#12 for my colour combo.
Which I will only get in by the hairs on my chinny chin chin.
I would love to know where this week as gone, it was a short week.

I used Freshly Made Sketches FMS#230.

 The flag panel is Water Colour Card, I embossed the flourish and used Ink Refills and Aqua Painters to get this resist effect, which by the way I didn't like when it was wet as it was when I went to work yesterday.
The Stamp Set is Timeless textures.

I used Fabulous Four Stamp Set for the sentiment, I inked with the Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Marker and emitted the words get better quick, then cleaned the stamp then stamped them on the inside of the card.

 I have sponged the outside and inside with Soft Suede, I love the retro/shabby look it has given it.
This card uses 2 of the 2014 - 2016 In Colours which are retiring at the end of May.
If you still need to get these colours or need the Ink Refills, get them soon because they will only be around until stocks run out, go to my shop and place your order now.
This is the pair of Toe Up Socks that I have knitted for my DH.

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I will see you soon.

As Promised

I have promised to come back and tell you about my travels to and from Auckland last weekend.

On Friday going to Christchurch Airport we got held up in traffic and I was the last passenger to arrive, and I had been bumped off.

They had taken 3 seat away, so a nice man booked me on the next flight and gave me a voucher for a coffee.

So I had an extra 1 1/2 hour wait for my flight., but I still arrived on the same day that I was meant to be there.

The lovely Bron and 2 gorgeous pjamma \clad boys picked me up from the airport.

Saturday we had AB FAB day, there was some great demos and everyone got to play with lots of new products.

Here's another Flower Pot Card.

 For this card I have used all the new In Colours 2011-2013.

I love them all but my favourite is Calypso Coral.

On Sunday I went to church with Bron and family, it was great and so welcoming.

We had a quick lunch then headed to the airport.

We arrived about 2 - 5 minutes late for check in for the flight and they had closed the check in.

So cut a long story short I had to join air points, then had to buy a Standby ticket.

I went from one departure gate to the next all Sunday afternoon, all the flights were full but some were getting on them. 

Bron was waiting also incase I didn't get on a flight, which I didn't that day, so I had another night at Bron's.

Now I had to be back at the airport for 9am, but as you will be well aware that is impossible when you are an hour away from the airport and you have kids that need to be at school and preschool.

So Bron and I got up at 5am Monday and were on the road by 5.20am heading for the airport.

It was just as well I had a good book with me to read while waiting.

On Sunday there had been a Jetstar flight to CHCH cancelled so there were lots of passengers stranded.

10am flight went by so did the 11am and 12noon there was standby passengers getting on them, but Katherine and myself who had been waiting since Sunday were still waiting.

After the 12noon flight left with standbys on, I got very frustrated to say the lest and I was very vocal about been there since Sunday.

The staff heard me and spoke to Katherine and myself about trying his hardest to get us on the next flight.

So the 1pm flight arrived all the passengers boarded then 2 more did yes Katherine and myself were on that flight.

I was meant to be travelling back to Timaru on the early morning Intercity Bus, which I missed due to been on standby, my Mum had phoned Intercity to say I would be on the bus.

They got me to fax through my Standby docoments and my fare was transfered for Tuesday.

When I got home in the post was this TShirt.

I so needed that on Sunday and Monday in the Auckland airport. LOL

So that's how I lost a day this week.

Have a great weekend.

With Sympathy

I have had 3 sympathy cards to make this week.

I have had 2 friends who have lost their father's this last week, they were both battling cancer.

Here's the card I made for Helen.

 I have used the In-Colours (Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride and Peach Parfait) and Level 2 Hostess Stamp Set Apple Blossom.

I stamped the stamp in the same colour ink as the card, then mounted them on Whisper White Card Stock which I had trimmed using Scallop Trim Punch and mounted it on Sahara Sand Card Stock.

The cards that I made for Jean and Karyn were a brayered card, that I had spare left over from Christchurch Regional in August. Click here to orgional post.

Time for Tea

This a wee gift I have made quite a lot of late.

I have used Priceless Stamp Set and Occasional Quotes Level 3 Hostess Stamp Set.

It is a great set I love the quotes, if you would like to earn this contact me and book a workshop.

Inside place a tea bag or a gift card and pop inside a card, a perfect wee gift for someone you care a lot about.

One of the new products that we have in the 2010 - 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue are the Pearls and Rhinestones, the adhesive on the back them easy to adhere and are perfect any project.

I have used the smallest Pearl on the Butterfly wing, I'm loving the tiny pearls very elegant.

The colours I have used are Bashful Blue, Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White.

I'm loving this colour combo.
