Useing stash

Hi everyone,is there anyone out there?I do wonder if anyone has found me,let me know.Going to show you a few photos of a card gift box that i made for an siopa bui for a class at the end of january.I got this from an american blog and at the moment i cant remember the site,when i find it i will let you know.The idea for this is that you give someone a set of cards,matching tags stamps and a notepad.So easy to make when you follow the instructions.Thats all for tonight......philomena

Gone awol

Been missing for the last few days and havent had time to do any cardmakeing,im haveing withdrawl symptoms and hope to get my fix some time tommorow.Was in carlow at the weekend with kerry from an siopa bui.we were teaching cards on sunday to a fabulous group of ladies,who i hope enjoyed themselves,i did,it was hard work ,but the crack was good.goodnight.............philomena

Beautiful day and Bots

Dont really have a lot to say tonight.Wasn't today the most beautiful day,it felt so good to feel

the heat of the sun{long may it last}.Just back from computer class and i think its going ok so far,i actually think im learning something.Heading to carlow with kerry on sat,for workshop on sunday.Going to visit myshall when we are down there,have inlaws there.These are a few of the cards i made with the bots stamps from stampendous,they are great crack to use and can be male or female,i spotted some on a blog that had feathers,lipstick,cats and dogs and they were funny.Thats all for tonight...................philomena

Hi everyone,just wanted to wish everyone a very happy st patricks day,we are going to miss our local parade because we are in the middle of lambing,but we will be going out later to drown a few shamrocks,well one of us will,the other will be driving..................philomena

Wedding cards

Hello all. Went missing for a few days but im baaaaaaaaack.{dont mind me im messing}Was at an siopa bui on friday for the monthly coffee morning,lisa from sizzix was there for a demo,it was great crack.Its really nice to be with other card nutters like myself for mornings like this because card makeing is usually done on your own when you get a minute or two.Helen was snapping away for the blog{hope you got my good side}.A few photos of wedding cards i have made they are all totally different.Have to say i love the bella one....................philomena

Alcholol inks

I have been haveing a great time with alcholol inks,the more you play with them the more you can do.I bought this vase in a euro shop and in about 5 mins i had a one of a kind vase,excuse the photo's i know they are not the best but you will get the idea.Goodnight.............philomena.

Time of day

Just a short note tonight,im going to have to change the time i post. Im falling asleep and trying to type at the same. Started a beginners computer class tonight in the hopes that i will get a bit better.Can anyone tell me how i can add a link to another blog in plain english please?

I made this bon voyage card for a friends granddaughter who is going back to australia after a year here,really love this stamp and just inked with a dye ink onto pearl card,it has a fantastic sheen and looks fab.Thats all folks{sounds like bugs bunny}...............philomena.

Stash

Hi all,As we all have loads of stash and still go mad and buy new stuff all the time,well after christmas i was trying to clear up the mess in my room.I came across about 20 pads of paper{didnt realise i had so much}so i packed a basket with stamps,markers,and the paper and sat at night stamping and colouring.Id pick a paper and then colour in the image ,its probarly not the done thing but i was a bit fed up of colouring in an image and not being able to match up anything which had a lot to do with bad colouring.I really like how these came out,only about another 20 to go, The beginners class went well yesterday at an siopa bui,i think everyone had a good time,we made 5 or 6 cards.Thats all tonight...............philomena

Safety pin

This is the card i made with the wild card cartdridge,i inked a piece of acetate with alcohol inks{i love those}and cut out the pin ,it is a a4 folded lengthwise and an siopa bui has envelopes for this size.My other half said the ducks should be yellow,but i like the blue lads. The second one is tiny and the one i made first,i know the photo is not the best.I suppose 9.30 at night is not the best time to be takeing photos.They were great fun to make and a great baby card.

I`m back.

Hi i`m back.....I was too tired last night to post and knew if i went near my puter {as my niece says}i would loose everything again.I was just seeing what it would look like if i moved the photos around,i`m not sure how its going to turn out.Here are a few more cards,the first one i made for my parent`s`anniversary in january and i have to say it looked better irl. The next card is an image that has been made and ready to go for ages,i was`nt too sure what to do with it,it was too big for the oval nestie`s.So i got out my cricut and oval`s were on the go ,i was trying to make narrow border`s and played with my bug for a while befoure i got these,i think it turned out ok.

I got the wild card cartdrige for the bug this week and it is as good as people were saying.I spent an hour or two playing with it today and made a lovely baby card,i might take a photo later and show you .Thats all for now..............Philomena

hi all,this is my second attempt to post tonight, the first vanished while i was watching sisters and brothers,dont know how it happened or where it went i can tell you i was not blessing it.Was at an siopa bui today doing some prep for a beginners class on sunday.I have to say that i will be posting cards that i have made over the last few months,why not you havent seen them and it will keep me going on here for a while.The only problem with that is i always took photos of my cards in cello bags so im not too sure how they will look.here are a few that i made last week.Bye for now................philomena

Time is wrong

Has anybody noticed that the time is wrong on posts,i posted at 10.11 pm and it is showing up as 1.11 pm.is there anything i can do with it?.................philomena

Back again im on a roll.

Can you believe that im back again?Im hopeing to post every evening,lets see if that happens.now how about a few more cards.These are for men and i usually struggle a bit with those ones but these came together easily.First one is made with the cricut soccer solutions cartridge.I love that machine and im still finding out what i can do with it.Next one is 3d.And the last one is a stamp that i 3d.I am trying to use all the stash that i have and its going to take a long time to do that.Bye for now...........................philomena.

I think i got it !!!!!!!!!

I finally got a few cards up here which in itself is a minor miracle.These are a few of the horsey cards,i was stuck for ideas for these cards and found this book of horse 3d images.I like doing 3d cards and usually have a load of images made up and ready to go,years ago i used to make the large 3d framed pictures and taught that as well.The lady who ordered these cards has been getting cards of me for the last few years and i have worn out all my horsey stamps makeing cards for her family.

Thats all for now ................................philomena

Back again

Sorry its been so long ,i have had great fun trying to fill an order for horsey cards.I finally finished them and now all i have to do is figure out how to get them on here i have a problem with my computer !ME!!!!Iwill try this evening.Was at an siopa bui on sunday for a parchment class,cathy g was the teacher and she was brilliant.We came away with a lot of information and hopefully will be doing a bit for ourselves,I dont think i will be makeing the really fancy cards but i could add bits into other cards.I dont think i said that i teach for kerry at an siopa bui,i absouletly love teaching and get a real buzz when everybody gets the idea.
