Missing in Action!

Hi everyone...........

sorry I haven't been posting on my blog, but had an unexpected visit to hospital last week, am now home but should be resting in bed........well that lasted 4 days!! I am being good really, and do rest, but going stir crazy now, so trying to move around a little to stretch my muscles!

Should have been going to Scotland on Saturday, but unfortunately, won't be able to sit in the car and travel all that way, so have cancelled it.

anyway, here is a project I made a couple of weeks ago using a template from Lauren Meader at My Time, My Creations, My Stampendence
who designs templates called 'My Timeless Templates' which are fantastic. This one is called 'From the File of...'I used the retired papers called Cutie Pie which I just love, as the colours go with so much!
It is something to use for those who love to write - a notebook, stamps pouch and notelets

I made this little note book from some thicker card and backed it using the papers - I then used clip rings to hold it together

I made a little stamps pouch out of So Saffron and used some of my own rub on letters

I then made some notelets to go with the set

and this is what it looks like when all together!

I'LL JUST TIDY THAT CUPBOARD OUT.....

Another beautiful day, and what did I decide to do.....tidy a cupboard out in my work room! Well, that led to sorting out a set of drawers..........and then another and another, and in the end, I sorted out every drawer, box and shelf!! I found lots of things I had forgotten about - you buy them and push them in a drawer for later - and then forget.............it's like Christmas when you keep finding things! I found a bag with lots of black, white and red card, flowers etc and I am going to have a go making them tonight, so watch this space for tomorrows photos of my efforts!

I did however make a quick card last night...yes just one!

I was just so tired, and had a lovely shower and went to bed - didn't do the ironing like I had intended and fell asleep reading my book...

I used Blush Blossom and Perfect Plum CS, True Friend stamp, Elegant Eggplant Ribbon, Sentiment from Very Versatile and used Perfect Plum Ink and Stampin Glitter to add a sparkle
Hope you like it - simple, but quick!


Due to the sorting out of the work room - I have found lots of things for Blog Candy, and I did promise one last week, but never got round to it - so, will sort it out tonight and put it on tomorrow - make sure you pop back!
enjoy the rest of the day....the weather is to turn tomorrow!
