Best Wishes.

Hello to you all , thank you for calling in . I love that you did and if you left a comment that's fabulous .
Welcome to my room .
It really is barmy weather .Very warm outside ..may be 28 degrees, Grey skies and very windy . Looks as though we may get rain as well .
I still have cards and  kits to make for craft morning tomorrow so better get cracking . Will quickly share this masculine card firstly.

Would this be called a double fold card?
Card base and blue layers  and sentiment with label on front  CTMH .  White sentiment die cut and blue  striped paper from SU. Front image  free from Vintage made for you . And inside vintage car from Graphic45. 
Now it was not until I added photos to my post that I realised that the tyre image from Kaisercraft die cuts is not of the same era .
TOO LATE ..A blind man would be happy to see it anyway!

                                       

                              Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne

Missed me?

Hi there.
Remember me?
I have missed blogging and welcoming you all to my room .

Just mundane life duties for a while  then Daughter , Michelle , and family visited for a few days .
It was great , a real  blast to see them all .Doug and I took them to our favourite parks . Fortunately
there were many koalas, kookaburras and other birds on show so that the Grandchildren could take lots of photos with the new cameras that Granddad had given  them .

But hopefully I can get back into my routine . Have to catch up on blog visits and commenting .

Welcome to my room, for now ,  and thank you for calling in .Many thanks to new followers and visitors .
 I hope that you and yours are well .

A Christmas Card

 

Hi there , welcome to my room .
I really appreciate your visit and would love to hear from you too .
The weather here has been like a yoyo . A fine Spring day then a cool blustery Autumn one . 
Bit like my weight .
Have not posted about that for quite a while because I have been so frustrated with my wt. sitting on 80.2 or 80.4 then down to 80 , the bouncing back to 80.4 ..GRRRRR!! Last week weigh in was 79 but not game to smile about that too soon ..maybe I will if it is same when I weigh in again later in the week .
My card to share tonight is one using image from Nordic Christmas Post card stack   and  coordinating paper stack ..which are available from the online Kraftyhands Shop

                                         
                        



                               

                       

Added a sentiment from Stamp Art and bling from my stash .

For the inside of last card I punched small holes in corners instead of using rhinestones and masked  an area for the sentiment instead of using a label or tag .

Hello visitors , welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .

My crafting buddy   Sandy is taking part in the Creative Blog Tour . If you have some time to browse then I recommend paying her blog a visit  to learn a little more about her busy craft life .. Let her know that you  called in by leaving a comment too .
http://joy-sandyscreations.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/creative-blog-tour.html

Lisa's helping hand introduced me to blog hops and I do enjoy blog browsing too.

Now Sandy had a busy week and ran short of time to look for and ask other craft friends to join in on the hop . So I am going to bite the bullet and say /invite our friends to leave a comment making sure to  leave a link to their  blog .

Next Monday I will choose two links, one from Sandy's comments and one from mine  to mention on my post .

Wild and windy  day today so no outing but more card making ..
Tonight I share a card  that I made for tomorrows craft morning
