using papers to create a patchwork quilt effect. Below is my interpretation of this week's challenge. The image I used was from the Penny Black Critter Party Pack of stamps. It was so hard choosing an image, as I've just bought this pack and they're all so scrummy.
And it certainly was a challenge, but enjoyable none the less.
Well it's just another Saturday night in the Gill/Hogan household.
Rose sent to bed early for the constant answering back, when will that girl learn, so strong willed.
Jess in my scrap room watching a movie, me here blogging and sharing with you my latest creations.
Rich on his laptop playing Risk, a game of conquering territories of continents around the world, sound like a lot of fun, ah NOT. Well it is if you're playing REAL LIFE people and not just randoms.
I was a lucky wee girl tonight, Rich made us homemade pizzas. They were glorious, lots of salami and ham and red peppers, MMM.
Below are a couple of cards I've made this week using my copics, cuttlebug and a spot of sewing. I'd like to get to the stage where I'm good enough to enter a few challanges. Once I've done a bit more practice I intend to do an online class with Suzanne Dean, she does such fabulous work.
Anyway here's my cards, just remembering these are only my second and third cards using copics.
Woke with a blood shot eye and left side of head and behind my eye are very sore. Been a rather trying day. Managed to stay at work the whole day, and surprisingly enough I got quite a bit done.
I'd like to share my latest creation with you.
I dragged my sewing machine out from my wardrobe and dusted it off (and my skills too). Loaded up the bobbin and threaded machine, all from memory.
I sewed cardstock together for a card (Very much a first for me).
Another first for me. I've invested in a few colours of the copic marker range.
I'd like to learn to blend them and many other ladies do on "blogger".
I stamped a Penny Black hedgehog and coloured him my new copics.
Below is my creation, for a first I'm quite chuffed.
I must have an early night, try and recover from my sore head and eye.
I have just been down to my middle child Jessica's school, and had all the secondary school headmasters giving their big sell of how good their school is "pick us, pick us" type scenario. I've left there feeling absolutely exhausted, picking a secondary school for your child is so very important, the next few months will be rather trying to say the least.
I get up 5.45am Monday-Friday. Shower, make lunches, organise the girls, tidy the benches and we're out the door into the hustle and bustle of the traffic (music goes down for the drive, a selection of our favourite CDS) for our busy, busy day. After school there's homework, housework, errands to run and playing with the animals, fitting in time for coffee here and there. Every other weekend I get to spend time with my hubby while the girls go to their father's.
In my spare time, I love to scrapbook, make cards, read, catch up with friends, share my interests with other like minded people, catch a good movie, and spend time with my beloved and lovely kiddly winks, (well on a good day they are that!!)
I'm a stickler for my routine and don't cope with a lot of change, not too good with crowds.
Am one to stick things out without too much complaint.
Thanks for joining me on my blogging journey and sharing with me your ideas and creations.
