thank you cards

ok so computer is dead, but lucky the guy i sent it to, to try and fix it got all my files off it and one of the other guys he works with was selling a laptop a few models newer then my old one so i bought it from him and Jimmy put my files on it. So made thank you cards for them.



Had the paper from a magazine, thought it was perfect and thought i'd use the mr fix it forever friends stamp for the card for Jimmy, who tried to fix the laptop. so i basiclly put the paper on a card blank, stamped the image on to Letraset bleedproof paper.



Coloured in the image with promarkers. usual colours for the bear, Ivory, Blush and Vanilla. Henna for the belt and hammer.
Cool grey 4 for tools and screws.
Cool grey 1 for shadows.
Poppy for tool handles.
Carnary for mesuring tape.
Bright orange for envelope.
Then i stuck it to some card and ink the edges with Ink it up blue.



then i coloured in a peel off stickers in green and stuck them in the top corner, and stuck the image on with foam squares. i put blue dew drops in the conrers, three of each.



next i put the paper on the other card in a different way added a cardboard topper i got with another magazine, put thank you in the corner and doodle in blue around the card, i added silver gems the the edges.

Two Tips

First off, my laptop has died!!!! its in with the doctor at the mo and im hoping he can revive it or at least get everything off the hard drive, ive loads of photos on it, EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!! i'm using my boyfriends laptop for the moment.


Second off, watched a bit of Glastonbury last night and have fallen back in love with Muse. i'd forgot how good they are. i really want to see them live again,


Third off, got a part time job, woooooo, 1-2 days a week working in a shop that sells school uniforms, its only til Sept but at least its something, its in Dublin bout 2 hours from my house, so nice early starts to be in for nine. but money and something to do!


Fourth off, :) A Card for my aunt from my mam, its my aunts 50th in aug. i know its a bit early but better to have it done.





The papers i used are from the 12 x 12 honey n' hugs (Stripy one), the green flowery one is from the 12 x 12 DCWV the pocket full of posies, and the swirly stripy one is from 4.5 x 6.5 DCWV the sweet matsack (if you find this in a shop buy it, its is gorgeous). The ribbon i used was from my stash. The image is from the Bentley bears stamps that were free with Cardmaking & Papercraft. He's coloured in with promarkers,




Bentley is coloured in with Henna and i used the Blender pen to give him some lighter parts and doubled the henna for darker parts as i only have henna from the browns.
Nose: Dusty pink
Ballons: Amethyst, Poppy, Canary and Bright Orange.
Shadow: Cool Gray 1
I inked around the edge of the image with some yellow ink,


Next i printed out two tips on White velum. and added them to the card outside and inside.






I added Sister to the top corner and added yellow gems to finish it off.

I'm off to watch some Muse on Youtube now :) Enjoy the Rest of the weekend!

daisy and dandelion challenge 20th june - 4th july

So here is the challenge:

Using any of the hawthorn and bramble pictures

Using yellow and red papers (any shade)

Have as many emblishments on it (flowers, ribbon, buttons etc)

Have a bit of glitz on it somewhere

it can be for any ocassion

this is what i came up with.





i used a red and yellow paper from the capusle collection, and an image of hawthorn? in a hamock from the hawthorn and bramble notelets, i used a template from a notebook of templates i have.





then i cut some yellow vellum and put it through my big shot. i placed them on each side of the card. i put red glitter over the glue dots to discuise them. i didn't really know what to use as the circles then i remembered flowers i got free with a magazine awhile ago, hey presto there was two yellow that fit perfectly. i attached them with two red brads. then i added two wooden ladybirds. next up the glitz!!!





don't know how well you can see but i put little dots of glitter glue on every second circle of the design. i added the take a break from the its a man's world peel-offs. then i put glitter glue on the ladybirds backs and on the butterfly in the picture.





i know there aren't too many embellishments on it but i dont like over the top stuff so i thought it was enough.

Nothing to do with cards

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO


My ice hockey team won two trophies in the National Hockey League (NHL) annual awards,

The Vezina Trophy, awarded to the "goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at his position," as selected by NHL General Managers went to Ryan Miller. Some of you may know him from the winter olympics, he played in goal for Team USA. He is my fave player on the Sabres and prob the reason i follow them. he is an amazing goal keeper and its the first time he's won this trophey although he was nominated for it a few years ago.


Ryan Miller with the Vezina


The Calder Memorial Trophy for 2009-2010, awarded "to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the National Hockey League" was won by rookie Tyler Myers, His 1st year in the team and he played fantastic, racking up 23.44 ice time mins, more then the other defenderes on the team, also it is unusual for a defence man to win the Calder, the last defence man who won it, won it in 2003.

Tyler myers (couldn't find a photo of him with trophy)



I also just found out Ryan Miller won the NHL Foundation Player award which is for the player "who applies the core values of ice hockey-commitment, perseverance and teamwork—to enrich the lives of people in his community" He gets a $25,000 grand for causes he supports, which will go to the Steadfast foundation which is a foundation he runs, that helps people suffering from cancer, esp children suffering from it.


So thats the end of my hockey rant. GO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!
