Pitter Patter...

An excellent excuse to get those Crate Little Sprout papers out, as one of the girls in our office building is going on maternity leave this Friday so have made a little card for her - hopefully it is sufficiently neutral as I'm not sure whether it's a boy or a girl.

I have also filled a little mini jam pot that used to contain Tiptree blackcurrant jam with those cute little QuicKutz tags, I can never be bothered to go and cut them especially and the mini greetings stamps from Papertrey are the ideal size for them, so I now have a good little stash of them to hand. :o)

Am also slowly catching up on my DVDs, looks like I am making very good use of my Lovefilm subscription this month - have had a DVD to watch almost every day so far, but have a hankering to rent a copy of Madonna's Confessions tour since I watched the Sticky and Sweet Rio concert last night on Sky. Hm... may go and add that to the list and who knows, maybe Lovefilm will send me it one day!

Lazy Sundays

The days are passing so quickly and I've not been at the computer much while the weather has been so lovely. And one way to enjoy the weather is to sit out with a good book, shame about the slight sunburn though!

Nevertheless, I managed to finish off a couple of books today - well I started and finished the latest Katie Fforde and now can start on my next read!

But when the weather turned stormy I caught up on my DVD list and made a few cards, one of which is this one for the current CPS challenge - I am so behind on my challenge cards too now! Yikes!

I finally used up that last piece of dotty white/green ribbon as well!

The addition to liquid pearls continues...

Right I am off to tidy up and get started on my next book.

Even in the frozen north

It is TOASTY out there! :oO

If it weren't for the midgies I would still be sat out in the garden reading away it's that warm.

But there are blood-sucking midgies out there and so I am indoors trying to keep cool and think cool thoughts, but also update this here blog with the Project of the Day I posted over at the Frog Blog...

So, by now it will be obvious that I have become slightly re-addicted to Liquid Pearls, well especially red liquid pearls - who knew they were so nice...

Red and turquoise still my fave combo!

But I almost crippled my hand trying to squeeze out the Sticky Fingers equivalent of Liquid Pearls - shame their bottles are so stiff!

Right I think I am due for a return of the Stickles addiction!

Not been abducted by rock-and-roll lovin' aliens...

Nope, just busy with a lot of work, other stuff... and hey, summer sun! :oD

But I have managed to make a minimal amount of cards, but they're nothing to write home about!

Card 103 of 209 

Still loving my Mommy and Me rub-ons, but how to make those decorative pins look nice and not like implements of torture!

Have even delved into really old stash that needs using up, one day it will all be gone:

Wish I had more of the images from those chipboard embellishments and less of the words...

Just having some fun with Tim's edge scorer:

And last but not least, couldn't resist giving some Kraft cardstock the dotty treatment:

And always nice to have matching brads from Lasting Impressions - yum!
