Whoopsi Daisy this week

Our challenge is Things with wings this week. Not a very good card from me this week, I love Linnie's angel she is so sweet, you can find her on the Whoopsi Daisy Christmas cd which you can buy here. She really deserves a better card.
Do pop over to Whoopsi Daisy for our challenge and to see the beautiful cards the other DT members have made


I haven't had a good week, I spent ages looking at what designs I was going to cut on my new Silhouette Portrait cutter for my Christmas cards I cut 2 and then went to cut some more the next morning and it wouldn't turn on dead as a door nail. I phoned create and craft and its being picked up tomorrow to see if they can repair or replace and will take about 28 days. I wouldn't mind but I've only turned it on 3 times. I seem to have lost my mojo.I may have to buy some Christmas cards now if I don't find it soon.
Oh well enough moaning, perhaps my mojo will be back tomorrow.
Thank you for popping by my blog and leaving such kind comments I love reading them.
Bye for now

Whoopsi Daisy time again

I don't know where the time goes. All I seem to find time for is my challenge card and I really have to make myself do that. I don't seem to have the energy , oh the joys of getting old lol. This week at Whoopsi Daisy our challenge is monochromatic I hope you can join in. I decided I'd better make a Christmas card as I'm way behind with mine as usual.
I used this gorgeous precoloured image 496 from Linnie which you can buy here. You get 2 different images on each sheet 2 coloured and 2 b/w. I'm finding the coloured ones a godsend.

Halloween at Whoopsi Daisy

Where does the time go I'm just catching up on my posts, I can't believe that it's 2 weeks since my last post.
Our challenge this week over at Whoopsi Daisy is Halloween. I have used this lovely image from sheet 486 which you can find here. Thank goodness for Linnies precoloured images as I'm not able to colour much at the moment as my neck hurts too much.

I used Pink Petticoat paper with a couple of overlays which I added in Craft Artist.

Spots and Dots at Whoopsi Daisy

Spots and Dots time.This week I used this so cute little girl from sheet 493, one of Linnie's  new sheets which you can find here. I used the precoloured image.


 You get 2 precoloured  and 2 b/w images per sheet very good value for money.
When I started this card I thought the challenge was spots and stripes hence the stripes but I think it helps break up all the spots.
Well I've been back from Devon a whole week caught up on the washing and now we're off tomorrow to Kent for a 5 day coach trip seems to be all go at moment. Of course I hadn't planned on going to Devon to look after 3 boys but had a great time and my son finished his cycle from Lands End to John o' Groats in 8 days and raised over £500 for Macmillan Cancer.
