Hi Everyone,

OH boy! I had all these plans and I just have not managed to achieve many of them at all.

OK list the good things.

1  I finished unit 007 in my course (PTTLS) this took 3 attempts before I got all the elements covered.

Why is learning so difficult, is it an age thing? I know was never easy for me  but I now find it hard to even understand what they want.

2 I have done both of the cards ordered for this week.

3 I have the micro teach for next week almost organised.

BUT I didn't get any cards made for the stand at The Pantry.

no mothers day cards made to sell. Oh and the list goes on.

This is one of the cards ordered for this week. It's a stamp from Ali craft.
with papers from stampin up,
I love mixing thing up.

I have thing almost organised in my new
 craft room, I came across a big medallion stamp that I couldn't resist using for a thank you card. Stampin Up inks are fab.









Here's hoping I achieve a few more items on my list today. I will post  my Little Imp Stampers project next week (it's on the List)

Hugs

Laura

New craft room

Hi everyone.
Here are some photos of my new space

My tidy desk you should see it now.

Work top with cricut bigshop pro and must have TV

All my wooden stamps (not Stampin up!)

 This makes life so much easier. I no longer balance stuff on my knees to score or cut or anything.
I have daylight, I could keep going on but I think you have the idea.I LOVE IT

Stamp storage issues!

I still have a things to do list, some window dressing, blinds maybe. Stamp storage I need to be able to find them easier.







































OK so now to do some college work.

Bye

Dreadful Blogger

Hi Everyone
I have been missing in action. Just very busy working, you know!
that four letter word WORK.

I haven't had a lot of time to play but it's OK, when I do get time it's all the more fun.

Here are some pictures just to get us started.

These are pocket cards made with the wonderful stampin up products, this was our last project. It's a really nice card and can be adapted in lots of way.
It would make a lovely mothers day card.

















I have also been busy with my craft room and have had shelves and a work top fitted. The cabin bed reinstated
so that I have a designated work room. I have also had a huge sort out and I have no idea how I got it all in the room, plus I found some lovely things that I had forgotten. I also realized that I have so many rubber stamps that I need a better storage system for them. Any ideas?
OK that's it for now back later.

December ALREADY!!!

Hi Everyone,

I have been so busy and as you all know the time just flies.

Some friends of mine, Sue and Lynn have a cafe in Bracebridge Heath called "The Pantry" and they have let me put a card stand in their cafe. It's wonderful because now I have an outlet for the cards that I just can't stop making. And the Pantry is wonderful, fantastic food, home made soups and lovely home made cakes. All made by Lynn's fair hand and on top of that Sue is a dab hand with the coffee machine move costa!
Well worth a visit and not just for my cards

I've also been very busy making name pictures to order for Christmas presents, I may now be classed as one of Santa's helpers

At the weekend I did a quick dash up to my Dad's in Durham, with the Christmas stuff. It was lovely to see him and he looked very well. The journey back was a bit bleak, rain through the vale of York not fun at 70 miles per hour, and you can't slow down because that is the speed of the traffic. Any how mission accomplished .

So now I had better get on with Christmas in Lincoln.
Bye for now.

Ali's craft club

Hi Everyone
What a fab day we had at Ali's club yesterday, but we had a issue with one of the punches we were trying out.
OK so not to be defeated I gave it another try,
You need to be on a solid surface ( most important )
Take your time lining up the edge of the paper with the grid.
This is light weight card,
 I also stood up to get better pressure,and to make it easier.

Then this is what you get!
This is a 15cm square which when edged fit on to a
13.5cm card blank perfectly.
the image is the little kitty's with the cloud background, and then settled on to the
grass. All very simple, I just added a bow to the larger kitty.

This is the demo from June
I finished it off last night and I have to say I like it very much.
My hubby thinks
I should do these for Christmas! well I never!!!!!!!!!.







Ok that it for now, I'm looking forward to seeing quite a few of you at my craft club on Tuesday evening.
6.30pm to 9.30pm at the Lincoln Imp . My First Workshop for Stampin up I'm am so nervous.
Wish me luck!

Hi
Yes I know I have been a really bad blogger, I have been very busy putting cards together for a stand at a friends new cafe and doing pictures for new babies and sorting out designs for wedding invites. OH! and working at asda. And most of all sorting out a stampin up craft club night club night on the 29/11 at the Lincoln Imp 6.30 to 9.30. E-mail me on laurahobbs1@hotmail.co.uk if you want to join in.

 This is Ruby helping me craft but lucky for me she got fed up, curled up and went to sleep.

This is a bit of my craft room and  work top, I end up with a small A4 space to craft in and stuff all around me.

 And this little beauty is my big shot pro, it is a monster I hope to tame it soon, I was lucky to get some big dies from the sizzex site so have played with some really lovely papers and made lovely gift bags (more on this soon)

Hi
So much fir a few weeks off. I don't even have time to turn around. Ruby has been taking a lot of time this week she was spayed last Friday, it would be fair to say she has been very needy. The cone has not slowed her down at all.                                                          

yes its blurry when she wags her tail (all the time ) she shakes all over!!!!!!!

This is a moment of thought what can" I do now?"

She is a total nutter

I'll post some card stuff later

Bye for now
