Off to the Barn Dance



I am off to a Barn Dance tonight at my church - it's a fund raiser for the church  theatre group. Their last production was Annie. So I have made this to put in the raffle - its an altered notebook. Along with a lot of the other skills I am lacking in - is dance and co-ordination. Last time I went with John we finished a barn dance - the caller said 'You have now returned to your original partner' I was standing facing a lady and John was holding the hand of a very bewildered old gentleman!!!
I am entering this in the following challenges
mosdigitalchallenge - dancing and singing
paperplaychallenges - music

Have a fab weekend - at least it has stopped raining!!

Off to the Support Group tomorrow - we always have a little pink raffle so I have made a boxed card. I managed to get some pink ribbon brads in America and have used one in the corner. Love this quote  - it is so true.It does look better in real life - more vibrant and sparkly.
I am entering it in the following challenges:-
wildorchidchallenge - shabby chic
sentimentalsundays - bingo stamps/flowers/pearls plus sentiment
stampwithsarahkay - lots of flowers

Blooms,Blue,Buttons and Butterflies



Me and John are officially old now as we have joined the National Trust!! Determined to get our moneys worth - today we went to Shugborough Hall - method in my madness - I look at the map and work out where the craft shops are in relation to National Trust properties. We had to pass a new Hobbycraft and  a Dobbies on the way.
Finally managed to get the Martha Stewart butterfly punch [so yours is safe, Lyndsey!!]
I am entering this card in three challenges:-
lovely-haenglar-only - anything goes
justmagnolia - all the 'B's
paperplaychallenges - Happy Birthday

Happiness is.......


Having a look through my stash and I found these craft cardstock cards that I had forgotten about - better for male cards - love this image by Mo. So here it is. I loved Charlie Brown and Snoopy books when I was young - wish I had saved them all - probably worth a bomb now - remember buying a book with Snoopy on called Happiness is a warm puppy.
I am entering this card into the following challenges
mosdigitalchallenge - anything goes
totallygorjuss - sketch
toptiptuesday - one for the men

Hope your weekend is going great 

Liz's Birthday



It's my sisters birthday later this month - she doesn't look on here so its ok to post!! A bit different from an ordinary easel card - this is not the first attempt - for some reason when I first assembld it - the picture was on upside down and backwards not the effect I was looking for!! Liz is not a pastelly pink sort of girl hence the brighter colours.
 Well, its a wet weekend in Wolverhampton [alliteration - see that English  A Level did not go to waste!!]
Hopefully after a schlep round the city centre I shall be posting more cards later.
I am enteering this card in the following challenge
papertakeweekly. - anything goes
bunnyzoescrafts - girly
ribbongirls- girls girls
