<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. I hope you're all well and happy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I'm having serious problems with my laptop I'll won't be able to post or visit your blogs for a while as it needs to be sent away (sob, sob) to get fixed. Don't you just love technology :(. I would do it on my phone but it would take forever to write anything as my eyesight isn't good enough. As a reward for patiently waiting for me to return I'll have a Candy Giveaway when I'm back. I've got my fingers crossed that it won't be for too long as I'll really miss you all. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take care and I'll see you soon (hopefully). </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hugs to you all,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. I hope you're all keeping yourselves busy crafting. I've been away for a few days so I'm just trying to catch up on your posts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sorry if I upset anyone with my post last week but I just needed to share my thoughts with someone. I only really see my hubby and son to chat to so it's great to have my blog friends to talk to as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's card is the card I made for Lexi's Birthday to remind her off her time in Australia with the fantastic beaches. Another go at a different kind of card for me. Hope you like it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. Hope you're all doing okay. I know I've been missing for a few weeks but I'm back now :).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wrote a draft of a post a few weeks ago when things were going wrong and I wasn't feeling my best either but that was before other people I knew were going through such awful things in their lives and this put my problems into perspective so I've deleted it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My blog friend Alice very sadly lost her beloved father, another friend is having a personal crisis in her life and my eldest son Chris' University flat mate died very suddenly aged only 27yrs. What his parents and sister are going through can't even be imagined when you lose a son and brother so young. These things really make you feel grateful for what you have that's wonderful in your life. For me that's my caring and loving hubby and children.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make a interactive card using Lawn Fawn circle slider dies. I watched the videos on how to do it and felt very confident I could make one, silly me :D. This is how far I got and it stayed this way for a week.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ar-Ujj3lbGw/WVzE60u1jpI/AAAAAAAACTA/5cEpvPs_7Rw7K8xJIJeORWEexSVoxsMcgCLcBGAs/s1600/20170705_112204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1379" data-original-width="1600" height="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ar-Ujj3lbGw/WVzE60u1jpI/AAAAAAAACTA/5cEpvPs_7Rw7K8xJIJeORWEexSVoxsMcgCLcBGAs/s640/20170705_112204.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My mistake was not leaving enough room around the groove cut for the penny to go round as the mounting foam was stopping it so I found a €10 cent coin, too big, a 5 pence coin, too big, (is this starting to sound like a Goldilocks tale? :D) and finally I die cut 5 circles and glued them together. Too big :-O!! I've just made another 'coin' with the smallest circle die I own and I'm waiting for it to dry. I would have thrown it all away but I hadn't another piece of galaxy paper big enough</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well that was then. The smaller 'coin' worked, YAY! So here's my finished card.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm so happy with it as it's the first slider card I've made and my first go at painting a galaxy too.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just love the blue and brown for baby boy cards which is why this week's card and last week's are in the same colours despite being made a year apart.</span></div>

I asked my son why he hadn't done the same with the men's traditional clothes but he decided not to. Maybe they do a similar thing in Japan so I'll have to work on him :D</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. We've been having a little heatwave here in the UK so out came the suntan lotion, shorts and hats except mine has been thrown about the car covered in who knows what which I very much doubt will wash out. Now I have this problem with hats in that they don't suit me although Stuart tells me this isn't true but while at our holiday apartment last weekend we trailed round all the shops trying to find one. What did I end up with but a man's trilby! I keep telling Stuart that the men's stuff is usually better than the women's. Thanks to the lady on a makeup counter for suggesting it as she had just bought one and it was in the sale too, Yay!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm having a real mojo problem in that I just haven't been motivated to make any cards and the few I have aren't very good. I've got a song going round in my head where I've changed the lyrics to 'where's my mojo gone, where's my mojo gone' instead. If you know which song I'm talking about it will now drive you mad all day, sorry :D! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, today's card is from last year again made for my hairdresser which she's framed and put on her son's nursery wall.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. I didn't have a card to show today as the ones I've made either haven't reached their recipients yet or I didn't like them enough to show you so I've gone through my cards to see which haven't been posted and found this one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made this for Stuart's mum and dad for their Wedding Anniversary last year. I'd fallen in love with Leonie Pujol's Entwined Collection heart die. Looking at the card now it looks at bit sparse for me but I'd probably left it to the last minute to make. Anyway, I hope you like it.</span><br />

Can you believe it's a Poo themed Café? As you can see their drinks came in toilet shaped cups and Lexi is wearing a Poo hat! I'm pleased to say she didn't buy the hat :D. Seemingly visits to more themed cafés are planned. I dread to think what the other ones are like.</div>

That's this post coming to an end. I've just got to say thank you for your continuing support and friendship. Hugs to you all especially Valerija and her little boy.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">They're similar to the last ones but I think more suited to a man with their colour combinations, different doodling and sentiment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Card Ingredients.</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Card Blank- 6" x 6" Craftwork Cards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stamping Card- Sheena Douglass.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stamps- Card-io 'Up, Up and Away' and some tree stamps but I couldn't see these on their site.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Inks- VersaColor and ColorBox 'Cats Eyes' in various colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Other Stuff-</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Craftwork Cards 'Candi in white' coloured with matching inks to the balloons. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pen doodling with Sakura 'Pigma Micron Fineliner'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Chris and Lexi, still in NZ, wanted to see a kiwi so joined a night time hunt, as they are nocturnal, to see them but didn't see any disappointingly. The next day they travelled to Stewart's Island and whilst walking down a path a Kiwi walked right up close to them in the daytime! Seemingly only on Stewart's Island they aren't nocturnal which is something which baffles the scientists. They'll be moving on to South Korea next (Chris and Lexi that is not the Kiwis :D).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it from me today. I hope the weather is better tomorrow when you're reading this as it's blustery rain here at the moment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Take care everyone and happy crafting.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog. Just to remind you that my blog candy ends today at 11.30pm so you've time to enter still.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's cards are more using Card-io stamps (more for the shop). This time using the Up, Up and Away stamps. I had a wonderful time with all the different colours of ink seeing which worked together. Hope you like them.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When I was making another card I forgot to add the ink for the basket on one of the balloons so I tried to stamp the basket separately but didn't line it up properly. Stuart asked what was the matter as I was muttering under my breath so I showed him, "Oh you can fix that" he said. Knowing I couldn't I did a spot of doodling on it and this was the result.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. Hope you're all having great weather where you are. The UK are having some lovely warm weather (but not too warm for me :)) for a change. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've finally got my lamp, YAY! I managed to get in touch with the company the day of my blog post and received it two days later. I've yet to try it out as I've got cards to make for the shop, where I sell my cards, which don't have any colouring on so I'll tell you next time how I get on with it.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's card is one with just stamping using Card-io stamps. These sell well at the shop as they are cheaper to buy than my all singing, all dancing shabby chic cards which are in boxes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's nice just to do stamping alone to make a card sometimes and quite therapeutic with the tiny Card-io stamps too.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chris and Lexi are still in NZ and having fun although we've not heard much from them as the Internet is quite bad there and they don't like paying for it in the hostels they're staying in but we've seen the photos they've put on Instagram and they look happy :).</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it for today but watch out for a separate post with my Candy Giveaway on later. Bye for now.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. Hope you're all having a great week so far. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've managed to get some colouring done this week for today's card, Yay! I've been trying to buy a magnifier daylight lamp I saw at a craft show to help me out but after one call where the lady didn't know which one I meant and would ask her hubby and then a message to say yes, she now knew which one and to ring back and order, I've just got an answer machine every time I ring back. Very Frustrating!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, this card uses the LOTV stamp 'Sweet Peas' which are my favourite scented flowers and always look so pretty. I really enjoyed colouring although I had to do it in short stints. I had great fun crinkling the ribbon with a heat gun too :).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello to all my blog friends! I hope everything is going well in your lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, just a note about last week's card, Stuart is my long suffering hubby not my son. I didn't actually say so when I wrote the post (for those of you who didn't know who he was). He did think it was funny though :D.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When my eyesight was playing up, and colouring anything was out of the question, I made a couple of cards without an image in my favourite shabby chic style. Here's what I made... warning though as quite a few photos!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">The wanderers, Chris (eldest son) and Lexi (his fiancée), are now in New Zealand are having a bit more of a rest there despite the fact that their travel company that organized their coach trips booked them onto last year's schedule! They've been lucky until now that the buses they should have been booked on haven't been full but unfortunately their next one was and they've had to spend more of their budget to get onto one which is a lot more expensive. That company will be getting very annoyed emails when they return home.</span></div>

Stuart really likes otters so I thought I'd make him a bit of a silly cute card with otters. I loved making this card but it was a little hard to make secretly as he kept coming over to talk to me so I was rushing to cover everything up each time!</div>

Can I just point out that I can't paint so the sea grasses do look a bit naff. I coloured the otters with the Copics on marker friendly card and then fussy cut them to go on my background. Well I hope it was worth waiting for :D.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. I hope you all had a really Happy Easter and didn't indulge too much on those Easter eggs.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's card is using the Stamping Bella stamp 'Bunny Wobbles'. I only had two Easter cards to make but my eyes have been playing up again so my colouring is a bit off. I wasn't sure how to do my sky or grass so there are two versions of the card. Which do you prefer? This one with dotty grass and more prominent clouds.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">or this with spiky grass and a swirly sky?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">or a mix of the two? </span><span style="font-size: large;">I'm not sure which I prefer.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you believe it, I forgot to add some glitter to them :-O! I normally add glitter to everything so I don't know what I was thinking apart from the fact that I was still making them on Easter Friday, talk about last minute. I was also making a card for Stuart's Birthday on the Saturday so I was rather busy and battling my double vision. I'll show you Stuart's card next week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The intrepid travellers are now in a place called Noosa which looks gorgeous from the photos. A friend of theirs who was there only a few weeks ago recommended it so they added to their itinerary. Their friend is doing the same journey but in the opposite direction to Chris and Lexi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway more from me next week. Keep well and happy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today's card didn't turn out quite how I wanted to due to a miscalculation in placement of the stamps but I think it looks okay. See what you think.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Chris and Lexi have now reached Australia. They've been to Melbourne and are now in Sydney. Chris took two pairs of shoes with him of which the first and new pair fell apart on the second day of the trip. The other pair which he's had to wear continually are now on their last legs so they went to get him some more. Well being as tall as he is he has feet to match and is a UK size 15. In Australia he needs a size 17. The first shoe shop he went into laughed when he asked for his size and wished him good luck in finding some :D. Anyway there's a company called High and Mighty in the UK and luckily they found a branch in Sydney so he's now the owner of some new, but expensive, shoes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A rather simple card today for me. I do love Lawn Fawn stamps and dies as they're so cute. Well I better go now as I've Stuart's Birthday card and a couple of Easter cards to make with not a lot of time to make them! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">See you all again next week. </span><br />

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. It's Wednesday so I'm back with a card. I'm trying to stick to the same day to post to get back in the swing of things again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really like the cards that <a href="http://ellyscardcorner.blogspot.co.uk/">Elly from Elly's Card Corner</a> makes so I decided to CASE a card from her homepage for my mother-in-law's Mother's Day card. I just loved the big flower with the ivy so using different dies I made the same flower focal point but turned mine into an easel card. I hope you like my take on it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">No glitter in sight on this card :D!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Chris and Lexi have now reached Melbourne, Australia, now where it's much cooler much to Chris' relief. It's a good job really as the hostel they're been staying in has one shower working for 30 men! Luckily they're only there a few days. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I'm now running out of cards to post I'd better make some more although I've been sorting out my Cross Stitch stuff to sell it as I can't feel the needle to sew anymore :( but it will give me more space to add my extra card making goodies :). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So if anyone does cross stitch give me a shout if you want to know what I'm selling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Crafting,</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. Hope you're all okay especially those in Australia who are being affected by cyclone Debbie (not named after me, I promise!) Stuart's has a cousin in MacKay whose area was evacuated. We don't know yet if they opted to evacuate although her property is only one street away from the beach and 8½m waves were expected. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Did everyone who's a mum in the UK have a great Mother's Day? I had my Mother's Day outing on Saturday at a craft fair in Doncaster with spending money from Stuart too. What more could you want :D!?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Right on to today's card which is using a LOTV stamp called Tea Party.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. I hope you're all having a fab crafting time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just a reminder about my Candy Giveaway. It's only for my loyal followers who have been commenting on my blog regularly so anybody who doesn't fit this description will not be included in the draw. You will be welcome to participate in further draws if you do become a follower, comment on further posts and join my little band of lovely blog friends :). </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've got a clean and simple card today, yes you heard right :D. I know my cards are usually very girly and covered in glitter but I wanted to make Stuart, my hubby, a Valentines card and I didn't think he would appreciate lots of frills and pearls. I've used a stamp set from Lawn Fawn called 'Love you a Latté '. Stuart walks into town most days and often stops for a coffee at his favourite coffee shop so I thought these would be the ideal stamps for his card. Here it is....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Elbow in concert were absolutely brilliant!! I had a fantastic time. They sound just as good live as they do on their CDs, even the supporting band, C Duncan, were good. The Spa in my home town, where the gig was, is not the size of place they usually play in it was their kind of a trial run before going on to bigger venues. I was on the balcony in my powerchair and was let in first with other wheelchair users so we, Stuart and my youngest son Kieran, got a really good place to see them from. I would highly recommend seeing them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Random people asked to take photos with him while he and Lexi were walking round different places. This is just a few of them Lexi caught with her camera. In the bottom photo one of the girls asked him for a photo with her then the rest of her group suddenly appeared from nowhere to join in. It's a good job Chris is a friendly laidback guy and just goes with the flow. When he returns home he will start a further 6 years training to be a Psychiatrist which he should be good at with his patience.</span><br />

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tonight I'm going to see the band Elbow with hubby, Stuart, and my other son, Kieran. This is the first time I've seen a band live so it should be a great experience. </span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well that's all for now. I'll be back again this week with the candy giveaway. See you soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone. I hope you're all keeping well and happy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chris and Lexi, son and fiancée, are having an absolutely fabulous time on holiday. They've visited many temples, had boat rides (some pretty hairy) and had a Thai cookery class together. Here's a photo of Chris and chef who Lexi said kept flirting with the 'Big Man'.</span><br />

I'm so happy as they make such a wonderful couple and Lexi is just so lovely, she's the daughter I would have loved to have had myself. The fact that I've got her into card making is even better as I've someone to talk about crafty things with. At the moment they are on a five month holiday traveling around South East Asia and then to Australia and New Zealand then back to South Korea and Japan. </span></div>
