Still Too Cold...

And Too Wet...to be going to the allotment...but this little shed and the cute flowers are making me look forward to when it will be warm and sunny again so I can get on with the gardening ;)....

Of course, they can be used to accent photos of your own garden, but also wish others a happy birthday, or even a happy retirement ...quiet versatile lol....

Many thanks for looking, will be back soon, Joy BB xx

Photographing The Die Cuts.....

This is a recent photo of the presents that are available in my ebay shop....but there is only one collection like this...as with all my cuts...I have a couple of boxes that hold 5 reams of card each, and then a selection of patterned papers and card....I'm sat here trying to think which cuts actually stay the same each time...even the penguins sometimes have a textured black....

If I were to photograph each set of cuts...each time I made a selection...I would not have time to complete anything...from printing the paperwork to posting to leaving feedback...it takes me roughly an hour to complete a set...I have a perfection issue and don't like waste :)....so yes each set ...whatever the cut...is individual....no-one else will have the same.... :)

I am going to make some of the fairies today as I watch what happened at the Japanese F1 race...now...what colours shall I use today :)....Joy x x

We're all going on a...

..HOLIDAY..

...we are away at the moment...but have managed to get some new die cuts out...here are the motorhomes and caravans that I listed before I went away....but I will see what they look like with the cars I have too...

...I have also done other new ones...dies that I have had for a while...this is one thing I try and do while away...I get to play with the them, and see what will or won't work...I also found a little craft shop here and they had some others...Mum is going to have a go at me again..:)...

...I also found some great papers that I haven't seen down South, so collected a few of those and will be going back for more before we go home too..:)..I know just what I can use them for..other than the Christmas cards I'll have to start on our return too...

...well it's getting a little nippy now...so off to bed I go ...thanks for looking, Joy x x ...

Busy As.....

So busy this last week.....out and about doing all sorts, but don't seem to have got very far...

I did manage to get Alex's card done though...I put it on a big A5 card, like Peter's, but in Pink, with the greeting cut with the Sizzix 'Girls are Weird' set...I also trimmed the front by a centimeter, this allowed me to put three Heart Brads at the top, on the back....The paper used was one of the 6x6 paper packs, and I trimmed that to fit on the front, with a yellow bitty Ballerina...

I have also managed to get some new die cuts onto the Ebay shop....at the same time I am stocking up on the big die cuts as I won't be able to take them away with me on holiday...

I have managed to plant the tomato's that I collected from the allotment....two big pots with three plants in each...however I still have another half a dozen plus to find a home for....unfortuneatley I forgot to water them these last two days, and they looked a little 'faint' this morning.....

Also got a text from my engineer this evening to say that the car, 'Ducky', is hopefully ready for collection tomorrow....really happy with this, as the Volvo is actually painful to drive, for me...

Gareth had a good week at school, but today has come home in a foul mood and really upset....I think some of it is because Mum is away, but it may also be worry as the school are doing two sail training days at the end of the week...

Well it's time for bed... x.x
