Going AWOL - again!

Ross (my son) & Lynne are coming on Wednesday until the following Monday so I'm not going to be around much during that time as it's been almost a year since they were last here and we've discovered some new places in that time that I'd like to take them to.  Unfortunately George isn't going to be here during their stay as he's back in the UK working.  My 'craft room' is our spare bedroom so I've been dismantling the crafting stuff and getting the bed etc sorted out hence the reason crafting etc will be on the back burner for a while! 

I have scheduled (which I hope works) my DT cards for the duration but I'll be back soon.  Take care all.  Hugs x

CPS



I feel rather guilty about using this card for a challenge as I heard today that a friend of mine has just lost her brother.  This card was inspired by a blogging friend of mine, Irene of All Occasion Cards as I think it is a very simple design and just what is required on such a sad occasion.  The CPS sketch was perfect in its simplicity.

Sentiment - computer generated
Backing - Victoria Embossing Folder by Cuttlebug

Lilian

It's my aunt's birthday on Saturday so I wanted to make a card for her and my dearly beloved will take it back to the UK tomorrow and post it for me.  When I was blog hopping the other day I saw this fantastic image on Liz's blog - Lace, Ribbons, Buttons & Bows.  She very kindly told me where I could buy it as I just HAD to have it!  My aunt is forever buying shoes that fit in the shop but never when she gets home so I'm sure she'll have a chuckle at this one.



Elements :
Main card - Vintage Poppy by Kanban
Image - All Dressed Up by Digital Ink Co (flower on hat and sentiment covered with Glossy Accents)
Sentiment - computer generated
Bling - Kanban

Life has definitely been getting in the way of blogging and challenging these days but hopefully this coming week will be less hectic and I'll get back to 'normal'!  A friend asked me to make a couple of 'art deco' birthday cards and I had some Kanban, and stuff from a C&C kit, in my stash so I hope these have hit the spot.
