My Sister Audrey's Birthday card

Morning Bloggers If you are a Chelsea Fan what a great night My brother was at the Game so he wasn't disappointed eh. My whole family are Chelsea fans from way back. Anyway that's enough of Chelsea We are the champions.
I made a card over the last couple of days for my sister who doesn't blog but it is her birthday on 23rd May this Wednesday. Used one of my favourite stamps again Stamping Bellas Uptown girls I love these new stamps of hers. Coloured her with Copics getting quite a collection now, must just say a thank you to dearest Kay Carley as she has an updated copic chart on her blog.

I have used a Cheery Lynn die Sophies Heart, what a nightmare to cut out, kept turning it around and different machines and finally got one to cut out with the Grand calibur with a shim. I have three Sizzix machines one is the Vagabond which I really didn't want to break! the other is the Pro which I thought would be too big and the Big shot and I have all the adapters for all of them and they didn't work! I used a nestability for the frame and of course Craftwork cards cardstock. The little crown is one of Craftwork cards sayings A princess for the day. The backing paper for the life of me I don't know probably a Bo  Bunny from ages ago.

Well Bloggers hope you have fantastic Sunday I'm off to get my dog and cats flea stuff.
God bless and lots of Hugs JO.xxx

A couple of Birthday cards.

Afternoon Bloggers, Blogger has not been good to me today it keeps going off. So while its being good I will show you a couple of cards I made recently. Once was for my Sister Irene's birthday and the other one was for my Best Friend who I have known  since I was a little girl - long time now ha ha. The first one is a stamping bella you know how much I love these stamps and a few others !!!!

I used Craftwork cards shaped card again, a Marianne D Die, craftwork card sentiment. Copics and a WOC flower.
The other card is a card made with Kraftin Kimmi its called Carole, cannot believe it as my best friend is called Carol without the e on the end.

I hope she liked it. Used Craftwork card stock once again and coloured in with copics. Used the little candies on the corner and a Large Nestie die. Martha stewart edge die. I have been making a few little cards for my 2nd daughter little 3 x 3 so that she can have them handy for thank you's etc.

I have a little sad tale to tell. My poor white cat who is 12 years old was run over on Friday afternoon and was left, he crawled into a neighbours garden and some little children who knew Max were coming home from school and told the lady that the cat belonged to me. I took Max to the RSPCA in Putney and they said they would Xray him on Saturday, they thought he had a broken back leg, he was crying to pityfull. Well he is still there !! They Xrayed him on Monday after I kept kicking up a fuss as they said they had lots of Emergencies which I understand it does happen well today they still haven't operated on him they asked me on Monday if I would like to either have his leg chopped off for £135.00, Pins in for £135.00 and a plate for £265.00 which they recommended as it would be better for him - I couldn't bear the thought of my cat having to have his leg off. Well I am not rich, but they said they couldn't operate until I had paid for the Op. I paid and I still have got to pay another £300.00 for medication etc. but really I am not amused as my poor little cat is drugged up and made comfortable until someone can operate on him. I rung them again today and they said it could be Thursday before the Op. I ask you would you let a human being go from Friday to Thursday with fractures !!! Sorry for the long winge, but I have lost a little respect for the RSPCA.

Well I will end here and hope you have a lovely Week all I ask is for my cat back and well.
Lots of love Jo.xxxxx

SORRY BEEN AWOL DUE TO SICKNESS.

Evening Blogger friends - have I still got any ! I cannot believe its been nearly two months since I last blogged. The reason is that I have had the flu again 3rd time, this time was so bad nearly had to go to hospital as it started to effect my Asthma had to have those dreaded steroids and have  still got catarr in my head and chest and anywhere it can go so have really got a very husky sexy -you might say voice now. I have also put on a lot of weight and now hopefully fingers and everything  crossed am on the mend once more.
I was asked to make loads of cards but had to decline as I just hadn't got the energy and no Mojo what with everything going on. Sorry to keep rambling on but will now try to get a bit more organised and blog a bit more.

I did make one card last night as I am going to Peter's friend 50th on Saturday, will only stay a little while don't want to push my luck.
Here is the card made again with Craftwork cards card. Tim Holtz paper pad. Stamps Happen Rubber stamp and copics - favourite pens and put on some distressed inks to make it more manly then put some diamond glaze on the glass and bottle.  Used the Nestability dies for the shapes and also used some dimensional glue on the glass to make it stand out. Hope you like it.

Well I hope you all have a lovely weekend and have fun. Lots of love and Hugs. JO.xxxx

Morning Bloggers. Not a lot today, made a nice card for Peters friend at work, her sister is going to be 50 and wanted a black and white card, you think thats easy until you start. I started this way that way Oh my what a headache cut different types of flowers, then got some already made ones. Well this is what I ended up with. Made with Craftwork cards glitz and glamour paper. Circle Message. Take a look at the top left side flower, you know those little polymer clay moulds that my granddaughter made for me last week its one of them with Tim Holts glitter stickles all over it called - wait for it -Tiara how cool is that. Its an easel card, I'm still not good at taking photos so excuse. The little sister cutout is from Sizzix, the large flower is part of Tim Holtz flower die. He sure does get about. Well this is my desk after :-

I have been looking after my two daughters dogs this week, the little one is a Pomeranian who is a little jealous of the big one who is a Rottweilla who is a bit soft and believe me I don't like big dogs but she has changed my mind what a lovely dog. They have taken most of my time up this week.

The Rottweilla is Zena and the
Pomeranian is Naughty Boo.

Thought you might like to see them, Boo had gone home but is back today and Darling Zena goes on Friday, must say she is moulting so much have to hoover and wash floors twice a day. Well thats enough for me so will end here and don't forget to pop over to the wonderful Julia's blog to see what's going on with the rest of the WOYWW Bloggers. Hope your day is Joyful lots of Love Jo.xxx

Birthday card

Good Evening all a bit late, but here's the other card I made for Edwards girlfriend from me. I used the Whiff of Joy girl, used copics which I just adore but still have to get used to them. The big flower is from Magnolia and the little ones from my stash. The sentiment is from Craftwork cards as is the circle, also the card. I used the nesties label 10. Grosgrain ribbon from stash.
On another note, still no luck with the sale, its so frustrating having to keep the house really tidy and spotless it tires you before the day starts.
If you go on to Bevs blog she has a really fantastic blog candy I really wish I could win it, lovely pens, stamps and a rare punch from SU. Well you wonderful bloggers its goodnight from me and will try and speak again in a couple of days you never know might have a buyer please, pretty please.
Lots of love to all Jo. xxx

Yvonne's 60th Birthday card.

Hi everyone, well hope you're enjoying the heat - ha ha. Its a lot cooler today. Went to a lovely 60th Birthday party last nigh left at a reasonable time 11-15pm, had a good o'l boogy and drank moderately because I am at slimmers world trying to get some excess fat off - blubber really. Anyway I digress The card is made from Good old craftwork cards basic white card then lots of stampin up papers which are really nice from their new collection Rich razzleberry, also the punch is their birdy punch really cute.

I used the Sizzix pop up card middle and also their strip which says happy birthday. the th is from Go-Kreate caption and numbers 775003 which is really useful. Sorry don't know how to link items yet so if any of you kind bloggers know please email/comment me with it, thanks in anticipation !  Well bloggers here is my card.

Silly me took the photo after I had signed it because I forgot to take it before.

This is the close up. I do like stamping thats my favourite but also like die cutting, sometimes it gets fiddly with the pokey tool and taking bits out but on the whole it does look nice. Hope you agree and have a very happy Sunday - I hope Spain wins tonight as they have never got to a  cup final so good luck.
Love to all of you lovely bloggers.

My Dear Friend Pats 70th.

Hi everyone, got another card to show, I made this card for a very dear friend who is 70 next week. I have sent it off and I know she will not see it on my blog  because she isn't a blogger.
Its made with acetate and Craftwork cards card and their lovely curly flower sayings. Made up the flowers with their pointy flowers, stamped the front of the acetate with white stazon with a penny black scroll. Put little chocolate and marshmallo card candy. I cut out the big 70 and also the Birthday Girl. Made a little corner scroll to finish it off. On the front of the card I put a little bow with a heart saying made with love, which I got from the Hobby house.
Hope you are all having a lovely day. Its a glorious sunshine day and I have been out in the garden steam cleaning the patio and tidying up in general. I have a lady coming to see the house on Saturday as I have decided to sell once again.
Lots of love Jo xxxx I hope you like my card I will try and upload another tomorrow as it is my Daughters Birthday on Monday and I have made her a nice card.
