BINGO BOARD CHALLENGE

Well here I am, back after 5 long months. Lynne at Craft den has been so patient with me, and still kept me on the design team, and said I could join back in whenever I was ready. I haven't done any crafting at home for so long, I just haven't had any real interest in it. It's strange how you have no interest in something you love so much, when you are going through such a sad time. I am feeling so much stronger now, lots of people said I would. I have the most wonderful family who have helped me through. And I am so ready to move on. I am going to do lots more crafting, I'm going to join Slimming World tommorow, as I have been eating one to many chocolate bars lately ( comfort eating ). And I have asked my lovely Sister Ann to come along with me, so we can support each other.

Anyway this my card for the Bingo Board Challenge, I must admit when Lynne said the theme was Bingo, I thought I would decide to come back this week, what the hell am I going to do for Bingo, and it was a big relief when I found out what it really was. I have done a twisted Easel card, Sarah at Craft Den sent me one for my Birthday, and I loved it. I did the row on the bingo board diagonal which was Punches/die cuts. Flowers, and Lace/ribbons. All of which are my fave things. I do hope you like it. I would just like to say thank you to Lynne for being so patient, and having me back on the team. I am looking forward to working with all the new members of the design team,that have joined while I have been away. Looking forward to seeing all your work. Love Sandra x

ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE WEEK 28

Hi everybody, another week gone, and what a week, so much snow. Just want it to go away now. Been walking to work and back, and I think I am getting too old for it, I have to say. I'm Knacked. I haven't been to my Favorite place http://www.craftden.co.uk/ for what seems like ages. Missing it so much. Anyway enough moaning, it's week 28 at the Anything Goes challenge, the theme is coloures of the rainbow, and this is a card I made for my eldest Sister Pauline for her birthday at the end of October, and she has still got it up, she said it's too beautiful to put away. I love making cards & things for Pauline, I know how much she loves what me & Ann make for her, and she keeps everything. Bless her. Love her so much, she has been such a Rock while I am going through my separation from Stewart. The card is made with Magnolia papers, and of course the images are Magnolia's. I have used three images, I have used prima flowers from my stash. A craftwork cards Special Sister sentiment. I made some of my own pins with crystals, they are very sparkly, and just finished off with a made with love charm, beaucause it was made with love. Hope you like it. Love Sandra x

OSCAR IN BLOGLAND

Oscar has been very busy today, he has been blog hopping all day. He was very impressed with all your creations. Anyway I have sent him to bed now so I can have a go on my laptop. Hope you like the photo's. Love Sandra x

PLEASE NO MORE SNOW

OMG, how much more snow is there going to be. Not seen snow like this for years. Do love to see it, but it does disrupt our lives doesn't it. Wanted to go sledging but nobody wanted to go with me, proper Billy No Mates. Asked Ann & Ivan, I can't repeat what they said. Amy got up late, no surprise there, but she was surprised when she saw how deep it was, and I said well when I was your age........ as she was yawning. Anyway here are a couple of photo's of Amy on the Patio. Hope you are all wrapped up warm, Oscar & Chester are snuggled up with me on the Sofa. See you all soon hopefully. Love Sandra x

WEEK 27 ANYTHING GOES

The weeks are going by so quickly. The theme this week at Anything Goes is Congratulations. So I thought I would enter the scrapbook pages I started at http://www.craftden.co.uk/ last week. Lynne has got some stunning papers by Best Creation Inc. they are Mr & Mrs, but most of them could be used for Anything else. The photo's are of my Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law, with there two beautiful daughters, Jemma & Brittani. Bob and Mandy were renewing their wedding vows. As some of you know Bob died of Cancer in August. I am making an album for brittani, and these two pages are the start of it. Brittani is only 13, so sad to lose your Dad at such a young age. All the flowers are cut from the papers, the papers don't need much adding to them as they are glittered and embossed. The little sentiments are cut from one of the papers too, also used a two grey tones of Bazzill to cut some more flowers and the hearts, which are a martha Stewart punch. The tag is a Magnolia Die, and to that I have added silver grey Organza ribbon, and one of the flowers. Everything I have used is from Craft Den. Hope you like what I have done. Looking forward to visiting all your blogs to see what you do. Love Sandra x

WEEK 26 ANYTHING GOES

The theme is Animals, and have I got two gorgeous little boys, oscar & Chester. This is a scrapbook page that I did at http://www.craftden.co.uk/ but never finished off. So I thought I'd finish it off for this weeks Challenge. I didn't join in last week with the DT, I'm not feeling 100% myself at the moment, and have lost my Mojo. Even thought of selling my stash a few times lately. Sure I could get a small fortune for the amount I have got. Anway the papers Blonde Moments, as are the sentiment stamps. The frame is cut out using a template, can't remember whose they are, they are fantastic for scrapbooking, and come in various shapes & sizes. Everything is avalible from Craft Den. We have had some brilliant entries for the challenge, and so many. Keep up the good work all of you. Love visiting all your blogs. Love Sandra x
