Hello Sunshine!

OMG - the sun is out....YAY!!!!! I always feel sooo much better when those little rays beam down on me. It's pretty chilly, but hey - as long as it's not raining, I can always put a few more layers on!

Had a great start to my day - woke up to an injured horse and a sick cat - so glad DD is a vet nurse. Injured horse isn't too injured, a small cut on his foot which just bled heaps and heaps. Sick cat, well I think it may be a big fat furball rumbling around trying to break free - DD is coming up to have a look at her....will keep you posted on that one.

I made this quick card for a friends birthday using my ever faithful Spellbinders dies and Cuttlebug embossing folders.....this girl just can't live without them! Just love the effect you get when you emboss Core-dinations cardstock and sand over it - yummy. Of course I just HAD to use buttons too!!


It's not the best picture, I took it in a hurry and just propped it up against the computer - for some reason though, all my card pictures come out wonky, never straight.....oh well, will just have to keep trying!

Well, I'm off to battle my way through the hoards of kids that are on school holidays, to do some shopping.....if I'm not back in a week - come looking for me!

Thank for stopping by!
Have a great day....

It's Raining AGAIN!!!!

Yep - it's back again and after such a beautiful day yesterday, it's a real downer! I hate the rain, it always makes me feel sad, the worst part is looking out the window and seeing all my horses just standing there, bedraggled and miserable - I wish I could bring them in the house when it's like that outside.

I was supposed to go to the movies with a friend today, seeing that HAIL is predicted, I think I'd better stay in and maybe get my sample card made for a challenge I'm doing for World Card Making Day over at Scrap Pile.

Thanks for stopping by
Take care and have a great day!

Finally!!

Finally...I have made it into the world of blogging. I'm stepping, or rather jumping, into the land of the unknown...for me anyway! First of all I bought an online store 'Scrap Pile' which has blown me away, on buying the store I entered into the scary world of forums and galleries. My very first effort saw me deleting the whole card gallery, I vowed then and there never to hit the delete button again without checking and double checking what I was actually doing!! I think I spent my fist 2 weeks at Scrap Pile apologising for stuffing something or other up....now, well, not sooo many mishaps! Now, here I am on my very own blog mmmmmm I wonder how many stuff ups I can make on here?

I have 'met' some great people over at the Scrap Pile forum. It's like having my very own cyber family and I'm loving every minute of it. This weekend has seen the first cyber crop since I took over the Pile and I have to say the Design Team did a great job - thanks Karen, Bel and Leanne. A big thank you too goes to Melissa - she keeps the forum going and is an inspiration to us all - mwah honey!!

I think for tonight I will quit while I'm ahead....no stuffs ups so far!
