I,m sick !!! and i gave notice at work !!!

Yes i'm sick i have a wicked cough and sinusitus, i keep running a temperature and i'm feeling sorry for myself !! I went to the doctors yesterday as i am feeling so drained and he tells me everyone has this !!! i have a bronchial cough and influenza and i just wish it would go away. Anybody have any good home recipes or tips to help you feel better ?? I tried the vicks on the soles of my feet with socks on, i heard this stops you coughing but it didn't work.

On another note i gave my notice at work a week ago, the shifts were just to much, lots of weekends and nights working till midnight. Well it was distrupting my craft time !!! Hope everyone reading this is keeping well !!!

Well here it is my february design team projects !! the kit was fantastic !! lots of cardstock embellishments and awesome paper by my little yellow bicycle. I did a double page layout a single and an altered book !! Thanks all for looking !!

I love you bbtb challenge !

Some very pretty creations this week by the bbtb design team ! i so look forward to sunday night or monday morning to see all the different creations my fellow design team members come up with. It's amazing all the variations from one little cut. This week we were asked to use the rose from the indie cart, it is such a beautiful cut and i decided to keep mine very simple using black and white as my main colour theme. I added the chipboard sentiment which i think pops right off the card. Thanks all for stopping by i love to read your feedback and please take a visit over to the bbtb site to see what the girls have created !! Oh yes forgot to mention there is a new contest running on the bbtb site so go check it out !!!

engagement card BBTB challenge !

I just love this heart on the wedding cart and i was pleased Regina set this for the bbtb design team for this weeks challenge as i need an engagement card for my my friends daughter who just became engaged. I cut the heart at 4.75" and then placed it on a folded piece of card stock and i drew around it so the top edge stayed in tact. I then adhered the loose heart to the folded heart. Next i cut the scroll insert two times and glued them together and i used icicle stickles to cover the top scrolled insert. I added pearls to the bottom pointed edge and a satin pink bow with a ribbon and pearl flower in the centre. the design team did amazing this week you can check out all the designs HERE

New home snail BBTB challenge

Wow talk about some cute snails, Regina set the challenge this week to use the snail from WIMG cart and i can tell you i have never seen as many cute snails !! The bbtb design team did amazing once again. For my card i decided to turn the snails shell into a little house with a sold sign ! I used a fiskars punch to add detail to the roof and i also used the scallop cut from the plantin schoolbook cart on the top edge of the card. I randomly placed little flowers by Jolee which my blogging friend Kris sent me a while back. I really want to thankyou all for taking the time to visit and i really appreciate your comments !! don't forget to check out the others HERE.
