Photo Wallet and a naughty cat.............

I thought I would just pop a quick post on here before I toodle off on holiday for a week. We are off to the seaside for a week with the whole family, can't wait till the hankies come out.............
I thought I would share a funny moment with you all. Chris was in the kitchen the other day and caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye. I had forgotten that I had left the door to the tumble dryer open and something had crawled inside and made herself nice and cosie..............................enter madam melody....................I have to admit I didn't have the heart to chuck her out.
Anyhoo, on to crafty items. I have managed to make a least one crafty item, for my mummy. We had a lovely day at the beach with the grandchildren a while back and I wanted to use the pictures for a gift. This was the result.........................................
The card and papers are from Papermania and the star stamp is a freebie from Crafty Stamper. The journal stamps from inside are from Prima Marketing Stamps. I got the tutorial for this Photo Wallet from Splitcoast Stampers. I thought she could pop this little beauty in purse to show off her grandchildren. Please feel free to leave me your comments.
Must go as I still have a little bit of packing to do........................catch up with you all on my return. Take care Nettie.xx

Digistamp Boutique July/August Entry (Bernard)

Well I have had Bernard all coloured in for weeks now in all three images, but for some reason didn't get around to making up the card. I thought that I had missed the deadline, but I looked again and noticed that Sally-Ann had extended the competition to August. So if like me you missed the deadline or completely forgot to enter your card then pop on over to Digistamp Boutique Bloggeroo and get your entry in before the end of August.
I used my ProMarkers to colour in this image, the papers are from Papermania and the flowers were a freebie from a Crafting magazine (I think Papercraft Inspirations)...............I then just added some dashed lines and a few glue on pearls.
I'm off to try and do better next time..............Take care and please leave me a comment if you happen to stop by. Toodles Nettie.xx

Relaxed.................................

Well helloooooooooooooo. Sorry I have been MIA, the flu has been doing the rounds and with my luck and health at the moment it was only a matter of time before it latched on to my body. So that's what's been happening for the last few days. For those of you out there who don't know I have recently spent 4 months in a London hospital due to having some organs removed ..................long story which I don't really want to bore you with but hence the good and bad days. Worst part about being in quarantine is I haven't been able to see my mum, whom I'm really close to.......................anyway hopefully I will be able to see her soon.
I have uploaded a piccy of a recent make, which is not for any challenge just liked the image. This pretty little lady is from Charmed Cards and Crafts again. I have used my trademark quilled flowers, a little pink glitter and some gold studs (kindly donated by my lovely crafty friend Jenny)........the punch on the inside is the notebook look from Stampin Up. I'm loving all of their punches. Anyhoo enough of my waffle, hope to catch up with you all soon. Take care Nettie.x
