Another card

Hi folks,

It's nearly midnight and I'm just about to stop for tonight but before I do I thought I would show you another card. This one has been made by Louise and features one of the decoupage designs. I love the colours in this design. They look so fresh.

I'm off to lock up. Colin is in bed and Maisie is sucking on her cuddly teddy bear's nose and falling asleep on the bed in the other bedroom. Honestly she is such a big softee. I like to play a couple of games of mahjongg on my DS before I go to sleep so I will bid you goodnight.

Sweet dreams,
Lynda

Quick update

Morning everyone,
 I thought I would just tease you a bit more about the Floral delights CD ROM. The samples done by my very talented girls have started to arrive. I'm supposed to be geting ready but I had to open the boxes which have just arrived and all I have to say is WOW. I am so impressed with their creations. Prepare to be amazed on Sunday folks.

Right must get ready. I'm due at the hairdresses to get my roots done. I wouldn't want you seeing my grey hairs on "root" cam now would I ? LOL

Here's another one

Hi folks,

Busy prepping again today so missed going down to the beach with Colin & Maisie. It's been a lovely day but bitterly cold. I hope the snow stays away until after next weekend as I hate driving in the snow!!

Here's a card I made today. There's some beautiful decoupage on the new Floral Delights CD ROM. Some of it is quite challenging to cut out but I think that's half the fun. I use a scalpel and a glass cutting mat when cutting out. Your blade seems to glide and not tear the paper if you know what I mean.

Off to watch Dancing on Ice. I used to ice skate in my youth I'll have you know.

Happy crafting,
Lynda

Further update

Me yet again,
You know sometimes I surprise myself as to what I can actually achieve. I mentioned in an earlier blog that I am now a webmistress, well it seems I'm beginning to discover new talents. I have just created my first link to enable you to download some free designs. How about that then LOL? So why not click on the link and have a go. I would love for you to comment on the designs so please feel free to do so.

I think I need to go and lie down in a darkened room for a while now as my brain is frazzled. I will give myself the night off and watch Casualty and the new series of CSI New York. I love Gary Sinise but don't tell Colin.

Happy crafting,
Lynda

Update

Me again,

Just to let you know I've added a project to the website. Hope this link works.

Now I just have to work out how to add the free download for you. That's a bit more complicated LOL

I still have not had my lunch yet but I can hear that hubby has just come back with the shopping. If I stay here a bit longer he will have put the shopping away, made a pot of tea and made a sandwich. He is good. I've been asked to clone him but I leave that for another day.

I'll be back.

First card from Floral Delights CD ROM

Hi folks,

Gosh look at the time !. It's nearly 2.00pm and I've not had my lunch yet. It's true what they say that when you start crafting you get "lost in the doing".

I received the completed version Of the Floral Delights CD ROM this morning. The postman used to be one of "my paper boys" when I was a distribution supervisor for a free newspaper many years ago. Makes you realise how old you are getting LOL as he's now a grown man, married with a family! I digress (not like me to do so).

Here's my first card design from the new CD ROM. As you can see it has a bit of an "art deco" look about it. I'm really pleased with it so it's inspired me and now there will be no stopping me. I hope to do a little project for you and put it on the website with the papers as a little pressie to you to give you a taste of the designs. I've never tried to do this before so please bear with me whilst I work out how to do it!! I'll tell you when it's done.

Poor Colin is out doing the food shopping. I hate doing it with a passion so bless him that's his job now. I think he quite likes it because he's always gone ages. I hope he's not too long because I'm starving and I need feeding.

Happy crafting,

Lynda

Great start to the New Year

Happy New Year everyone,

I am so excited about the coming year as there are lots of new challenges in store
for me this year and one of them is demonstrating for Cupcakecrafting. I have been
eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new CD ROM and I'm pleased to tell you it's finally here.

It's called Floral Delights and is bursting with stunning designs using the beautiful
artwork by the talented Andrew Hull. Cupcakecrafting are renowned for their floral
themed CD ROMs and I have to say I think this is the best one so far.

I will be on Create & Craft on Sunday 16th January at 9.00am so I hope you will be setting your alarm clocks and joining me as we delve into the hundreds of designs featured on this CD ROM. It's going to be a very busy week for me as I have to do all my prep for the show but I'm really looking forward to it. As always I have my trusty team of helpers Sheila, Louise and Bev together with some new helpers Lyse, Trish, Jenny and Terry. Their finished masterpieces are on their way to me now. It will be like Christmas again when all their parcels start arriving.

As well as demonstrating and blogging for Cupcakecrafting I'm now a "webmistress" Is there no end to this girl's talents I hear you ask LOL. I'm very new to this "job" so I have plans to put at least one project together with a free taster for you to download at some point this week but as the saying goes "I may be some time" so please bear with me. For now I'll tempt you with an image from the cover of the booklet which accompanies the Floral Delights CD ROM to give you some idea of what you can expect.

Now I'm off to create so Colin if you read this you will have to iron your own shirts this week, sorry!!

Happy crafting,

Lynda
