Blog issues,another tip that,Lorraine left me on my blog about blogger issues,is to go to,your settings,go to posts,and comments and under comments select pop up window not embedded seems to help I have done mine,now so hopefully it will now be okay. Thanks Lorraine Hun,
Another issue is cookies,if you go to Computer,click on Network and internet then click on delete,history and cookies as blogger also is having issues with cookies too., Only takes a few seconds. Also do not forget to,download Google chrome as that is the fix,well it was for me anyway have been using it since Christmas now,and if you want to import your bookmarks from Internet explorer,then just click on,the little,wrench,at the top of Google,and click on,,and then import and you can import all your bookmarks.
Hope that helps love Cheryl xxx

For the beads I used some green craft wire,then threaded some beads,and things around it.

Day one 12 days of christmas

2011-12-02T06:55:00.000Z

Morning guys,well as you all know Tim has started his,12 days of christmas and I have followed them for the last 3 years,so did not want to miss this year so here is my take on Tim's tag.
I have non of Tims, dies,as I do not have a macine,to cut them so I compromised.
I used my spellbinder dies,letters are from storybook from my cricut machine had the inks,
so here it is.

Did not have his pine cone die either so cut some flowers,then just scrunched them up used some frayed burlap to color them,and used a pearl for the centre.

So there you have it,not great I know but hey I tried,no more from me today finding it really hard going at the moment to get myself motivated so hope to catch you all soon.

Oh welcome to kristel to my blog thanks hun for following me.

I shall upload this to tims,page he has the link to put your tags on

Take care guys love cheryl xx

She kept saying well you need to give us your password so we can get rid of the virus,for you. So i told her the only virus I need to get rid of is you so go take a long,walk of a short peer,then I put the ohone down.

On these teddy's I decided I wanted the,hat too look as though it had snow on it,so I got my glue pen and just kinder did brush stokes then added some glitter and some,pearl paint to make it look more textured hope you can see it.
Then I used my craft knife to carefully cut into the side of the bears to look like fur,its better in the flesh so too speak.

Now for my CAS card for the girls over at simply less is more chrissy,and mandi,oh they do make the most stunning cards so here is my take on this weeks challenge Silhouette,

The paper is actually blue,may look black but can assure you its blue,weather is so dark and dull here hard to take good pictures,used one of my spellbinders frames then stamped the fairy in,blue versafine ink.
So there you go my cards for today hope too see you all later take care guys hugs cheryl xxx

Hi guys well the weather here has been,glorious today,we went out for the day as it was hubby's last day of his hoiday,we went for lunch which turned out to be awful it was disgusting,the food was cold,not cooked either. I know they say aldenta,but could have used a hack saw and it would never have gone through the pototoes.
So I complained,the lady was rude,and said oh well,not much I can do about that.
I said yeah you can first you can refund our money,oh no not doing that,so hubby said lets go but me being me,said no way.
So I asked to see the person in charge,he came out,all guns,blazing,refusing to give our money back,so I said okay fine I will sit here all day at the door telling people not to come in,as the food is crap,he said okay be my guest,so I did ha ha,after I had turned,about a dozen people away he gave me the money back, RESULT.

Well onto a brighter note,here is another 2 cards I have made for the less is more challenge not too happy with the other one,so made these,

I know the option is,things with legs,well birds,have legs,and my santa has them,just not on this stamp he he hope they are okay girls for the challenge.

First stamp is,Tims,birds and a script stamp from Kasercraft. The second one I bought,not sure what the make is,just added some color to the face with my pencils. Sentiment Kanban.

Next I decided to make another ATC,for the Creative expressions,DT call,with lots more stamping on this one,so here it is,calling card no 2.

Stamped onto the card with,a script stamp,then distressed with aged mahogony. Took some card and stamped some music on,again edged with ink. The film strip is again a Tim Holtz stamp,cut out the squares,and added some images,then added a piece of Tim's measuring tape. Finished with his spinners,and added some chain from my stash.

Hi guys,well,only had time today to play,as hubbie has been out all day,so I have been left in piece,we have been out and about all week and boy I am tired,must have walked miles but it was nice to get out must admit.

Anyway I have made my CAS card which this week is one layer card,option something with legs,
so I used a stamp I bought a few years ago think it was one of Eiglas's so this is what i came up with ink is coffee,archival.

I have also made some atc's not made any of these for ages,so had a great time,I have entered into the DT call over at Creative expresions,who are looking for some designers,using there gorgeous stamps,so thought i would give it a go. The theme they would like is calling card,the rest of the Deets,can be found HERE

Now my first one is just one I played with the second one is for the DT call as you have to stamp onto your atc somewere,well for my calling card I thought I would go with vintage,inks,embellishments, as think this shows my verstailty of putting lots of different elements together.

My first one,

This one is the one,entered into the DT call,as this one has the stamping on which is required.

I have used Tims,holtz card,stamped the lady with versafine coffee ink,then stamped her again onto tissue then laid over the top of the first image.

The edges of the atc have been distressed with aged mahogony. The wee plane is a stamp,which I have stamped onto plain white card,then edged with ink. The alice in wonderland,has been cut out then adhered to a facet,then glued onto the atc. Then just finished with some charms buttons,and a ticket.

Right now off to have a coffee,before hubbie gets back,see my followers have gone walk about again but think they have gone on lots of peoples blogs so do not think I am alone.

Have a lovely weekend guys.

Well over at Anything Goes,the challenge this week is the letter D
So I went for D for Distress,and came up with this card,the image is,either crafty individuals or paper artsy not sure,sorry.

I have placed the image,at an angle on the second one,as just thought it looked better well to me anyway so its a slightly different version than the one of the challenge blog. Papers are Bo Bunny available from, the Craft Den,I have used tiny playing cards,pegs,Tims,pin lace and the button I also stamped the image onto,then finished with a tiny sewing machine charm.

As I was playing with my,inks,etc,I also made this wee easel card with drawers quite chuffed with this as followed no,instructions just played with different sizes,and to my amazement it all came together which makes a change,

So here it is,

I have used,the same image as on my previous card,below,using same colors,papers are Kaser Craft Chanteuse collection,brads,from my stash also the flower,leaves are Ek punch the flower behind,the other flower is a stamp which I just cut out then added the brown flower onto it.

Morning guys well at last the sun is out,and its lovely and warm at last been fed up with all this wet and dull weather so hope its here to stay.
Well I saw the girls over at less is more had a sketch this week,I messed up last week so was determined to make good this week well Hope I have.
So I have made, 2 cards this week with this great sketch I just used squares instead of circles,

I have used,my craftyindividuals stamps,then on the first one I have stamped onto archival coffee ink,then embossed some tiny squares to look like a film strip thingy you know what I mean.

Then the second one I have stamped onto,some txt SU paper,then stamped in vintage green vivid ink. Matted onto some mirror card then just raised the middle one on 3d foam pads. Oh across the middle of the card I have stamped directly onto the card using paper to form a straight line.

Next I played with my large favourite wooden stamp Inkadinkado and made this vintage card,the base card is hunky doory,first time I have purchased any of there stuff and must say the quality is fantastic really chuffed with it. so here it is.

I have inked the edges,with old paper,and tea dye distress inks,added flowers,the txt is from the waste I had from my CAS card,so used that up,then just matted and layered onto gold mirror card added some lace also distressed. Then just added some,pencils to the face,of the lady.

So that is it,all my follwers have gone walk about rrrrrrrrrrrr I have,2 new followers but who they are have no idea,so sorry guys welcome to my blog will pop over when my list returns hopefully.
