Hi folks,

It's been a busy day today. I did some ironing. I know IRONING but it's piling up again and Colin needs shirts for work. It's Father's Day so I can't expect him to do it can I. I've just received my Seraphina Papercraft CD ROM Set and have to say it's a lovely set of designs. I had a play with it this afternoon and made this card. I've also got a Hougie Board as a present from my good friend Sharon Duncan (name dropping LOL) which is great for measuring different size cards. You may have to have one girls.
hugs,
Lynda

Morning,

It's a bit dull here today. The sun was shining at 6.00am but has now disappeared again. I'm very busy working on samples for the next Hinny Bop CD show on Tuesday 15th June at noon so have not had time to "blog" lately. I was really nervous on my last show as it's been a while since I was last on Create & Craft but I soon settled back into it thanks to Martyn, the presenter. We had a good laugh as well as working.

Here's another sample card from the special Days Volume 3 CD ROM. I used one of the backgrounds as a frame for the digistamp which is from Cuddly Buddly. I'm really getting into digistamps. I used my Promarkers to colour the stamp. The pansy at the side of the card is a Little Claire stamp, again coloured in using Promarkers.
Hugs,
Lynda

What a lovely morning it is today. I think I'll take Maisie for a walk through our local nature reserve. I can let her off her lead and she can have a good run. I've a busy day ahead today, packing all the card samples for Saturday's show. I've been helped by my good friends Bev the Blade and Sheila. I need to set up my laptop as I always use my own PC at the studios. I am a technophobe and need to feel secure using my own PC and of course my precious graphics programme Ulead Photo Express. I don't leave the house without it!!


Here's one of my demos using a lovely rose design. I bet you don't know that my middle name is Rose. It's after my great nanna Rose and is also my Mum's middle name. It's Mum's birthday on the 8th June and I thought this would make the perfect card for her. What do you think?


Hugs,

Lynda

It seems that my secret is out so here's one of the samples I have made for the show on Saturday. I've been asked by Rose of Hinny Bop CDs to demonstrate for her on Create & Craft. Bless her she is too shy to demo on TV herself so has asked me to do it for her. I've never used vintage images before so I saw it as a challenge and have to say I've enjoyed making the samples. This is my first go with my Promarkers. The girl is a digistamp from Cuddly Buddly and I've also had my Cricut machine out. I hope you will be watching as I'm quite nervous as it's been a while since I was last on TV. I think I have Martyn as my presenter so hopefully there will be a few laughs along the way.
Hugs,
Lynda
