I know I don't make cards.....but...Clean & simple card Hey everyone.  I know, I always say that I don't make cards........and looking at this card, its pretty obvious that I don't, lol.  But I needed a couple of thank you cards and thought I'd have a bash at making them myself.  They are very simple because I'm completely rubbish at making cards but I like plain and simple cards.  So this is what I came up with. I'm meeting up with my wee matey, Maddy Madster today (Ooooo get me with my alliteration ) ......YIPPEEEE!  You all know Maddy, from her Blog Izzwizz Creations and if you don't....click HERE .  So we are meeting up to have a good aul natter and try to set the world to rights, lol.  All we need is some double sided tape and a good pair of scissors and that'll sort out the world's problems, heehee.   Anywhoodles, here is my attempt at card making......very simple card making, lol. I used the butterfly To...

Hand Bound Journals with Flower Belly Band Hey folks, whatabout ye all?  I hear parts of England and Wales are getting some beautiful sunshine.  Any chance of you shoving some of it my Northern Ireland way then???  I swear it has rained constantly over my wee bit of Northern Ireland since June!!  Nimbus came in this morning looking 2 stone lighter and like a drowned rat!!  Now my cat is a long haired fuzz ball and isn't afraid of water or the rain really as it doesn't get in contact with her actual skin because she's so furry and her coat is extremely thick.......but this morning....Well, our poor wee baby was soaked through and her fur was drenched......BUT....the daft cow was sitting IN THE RAIN!!!!  She has a wee house that she can go in to when its pouring but oh no.....Nimbus wants to sit in the rain!  Lol.  Daft cat.  Then she came in and proceeded to try and dry herself off on Scrubby's leg!  He had to actually towel dry her she...

Clean and Simple Card and I want to introduce you to someone! Happy Birthday Bob-a-job!  My wee Mamma calls my Daddy that! Well folks, whats the craic with you all?  Firstly, BIG apology.  Im using the new blogger interface (which I hate by the way) and I did turn the Word Verification OFF or so I thought!  I went into it there now and it was still ON Grrrrrr!  So hopefully word verification is now off again.  I hate Word Verification, lol!  So just a note to anyone who has gone over to the new interface....DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF WORD VERIFICATION (if you dont want it on of course!). Anyway, Yesterday was my wee Daddy's Birthday.  After three everyone......ONE, TWO, THREE........HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOOPS'S DADDY!!!!  Or you can call him Bobby which is less of a mouthful.  And in a completely unrelated subject.........it was also the 100th year Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic!!  And before you say anything, as far as Im ...

A Gentleman's birthday card Whoops.....glossy accents isn't completely dry on the sentiment but I'm impatient and took the photos anywhoodles. What in the name of bejeezes is goin' on here??  There appears to be a card on this post and I'm not sure......but I'd nearly swear that I made it!!  Can someone take me to the doctor please because I've obviously hit my head because I don't do cards last time I checked.  In fact I nearly had a hissy fit when one of my cousins suggested I should start up my own card business after she saw my wedding invites, thank you cards and a few other wee bits and pieces, lol.  Now having my own business.....yeah who wouldn't want to do something they love, day in day out and get paid for it.  But a card business!!!!????  My idea of a complete nightmare. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in any way dissing what you lovely girlies do.  In fact, its the complete opposite.  I admire every single one of you for all th...

Alien Birthday card I know!!  I'm full of surprises this week.  First I make an Industrial Steampunk Metal Guitar and now.....A CARD?  What is up with me?  Where have all the flowers gone?? .......Is that a song?? As you know it was my wee brothers 11th birthday on the 1st.  And I can confirm.......HE LOVED THE GUITAR.......Wooooowhoooooo!  And out of all the goodies he got AND I mean goodies, to name a few....an android ipad thingy, an ipod shuffle music thingmabobber (see, Im very techie as you can tell!)......the first thing he ran into the house with to show our Daddy was......THE GUITAR...Yeah! Oh, I know.....I can hear you "My God, that kid got some presents for his 11th Birthday".....but, that's the joy of having much older brothers and sisters.  There's 21 years between me and Corey and the least amount of years is between him and our T which is nearly10 years. So, we pretty much spoil him on his birthday. But I was pretty chuffed how much ...

Well, I've finally made a card and here it is...... Well I have had nothing but stick because I don't really make cards(all in good humour and a bit of craic of course).  In fact I try to do EVERYTHING craft related except cards.  And if you are a follower of my blog, you know that I like to be challenged.  And if there is a tutorial or something that you would like for me to make or show, I am more than happy to oblige.  Well.......a certain little friend of mine decided to be cruel and unusual and challenged me to making a card, knowing rightly the very mention of me making a card breaks me out in a cold sweat!! But, I said I would do it and here it is.  Its ma wee mamma's birthday today, Happy 53rd Birthday Mammy (oh I'm sure she is delighted with me giving away her age), hope you have a lovely day.  So this is the card I made for her.  The layout and the nesties labels are actually from a very lovely friend of mine over on DoCrafts called Sandra,...
