Don't panic I am back with for the fella's

Hi guys well I am back with my DT card for Creative Craft Challenge
The theme is for the fella's as I have not been very,good with my DT creations,I wanted to do,2 so here is what I have done for our challenge this week,
                         My first card is an image from the La Pashe CD which I have decoupaged and added some paint and glitter to the top off the glasses.

 This one I think was either a Kanban image or Hunky Dory.
I have just used some dies,to mat and layer,and then added ribbon,and some pearl drops to the sides.

So there you go,two idea's for the fella's if you would like to play with us over at Creative Craft Challenge the link to our blog is HERE  We are sponsored this week by Crafty Ribbons,
     The Dt have come up with some stunning cards,and idea's pop over to say hi if you have the time,whilst I am talking about the DT I would like to thank them for allowing me to stay on there teams.
     Bless you guys so much,love too you all.
             And bless you to all my wonderful blogging friends too,wow was over whelmed by all the lovely comments you left thank you so so much,massive hugs Cherylxxxx
  
            Just before,I go here are some photo's of my new Kitchen. This was my kitchen,before,with fridge etc,all taken out

 Then,how they started,see Alfie bless him 

And here it is,my sparkly new kitchen with new fridge,washing machine,cooker,hob all behind,the doors,apart from of course,the cooker.

My new Cooker hood,cool,hey.

I am Back at last/Make your own Backgrounds

Hi guys
Well long time no see,hope you are still with me can totally understand if you are not.
Alfie has been really sick,thought at one point I was going to loose him,he lost so much weight he had to have an operation on his ear,then he hurt his back. So I spent a month nursing him back to health. No way was he going anywhere as I just could not bare to be without my little man.
Then my daughter Lisa moved,out so another week trying to get her settled in her new house,then getting mine,back with my craft room.
Then,33 years,and finally a brand new kitchen,totally gutted the whole place,ended up with new,cooker,washing machine,fridge, floor cupboards work tops the lot. Wow have never,seen so much lovely shiny new stuff,so that was another month,or chaos.
But I really hope and pray now things will improve I have started treatment due to the accident,last year,and have spent no time on the computer,just can not seem to settle for long. But hope this will sort its self soon.
Anyway enough of me running on,over at anything goes,this week the theme is make your own backgrounds,and this is what I came up with.

This is a canvas which I turned and used the other side,so it gave me,the frame. Covered it with material,then made some of the embellishments,book and paper,. The background inside is,made using tissue paper,then adhered to the base and using one of my stamps which was lightly tapped into,black Gee- Sso,to give that soft impression. 
So hope you will join us in our challenge this week,which started yesterday but I had computer issues,so hence one day late. The challenge is HERE

Here are a couple of things I have been playing with,as I have not done much crafting either,but did buy some indigo blu stamps which really helped with my Mo Jo.

This I stamped,the background onto white card,cut out using a spellbinders shape,then stamped in red paint,mixed with white Gee- Sso,then stamped the lady using coffee archival ink.

This one was stamped with Black Gee Sso then cut out using a spellbinders shape,then I stamped her again and used the flowers to decoupage with. Then finished with some distress inks.

Lots of things I have used can be found,on the craftden website HERE Indgo blu stamp can be found HERE

I will be back later I promise,as I have so missed you guys,I have a hospital app this morning so have to get ready,so will be back to catch up later all my love massive hugs Cherylxxxxxxx

Mail it

Hi guys before I tell you about this weeks challenge I have a big apology to make,to all my followers.
Firstly I have left crafty-emblies,due to personal reasons,but am hoping to stay with the other DT's I am on,if they will still have me.
  
My wee Alfie has been really sick,he had to have an operation,on his ear,as it nearly burst,then he had a terrible re action to the medication they put him on. So I spent many worrying nights sitting up with him,then again I had to take him back to the vets,this weekend as still not right. But hopefully now,they have sorted him out,he is still on medication.
Then I have a had some family issue's to deal with too,then the wedding,and I have not been feeling to great either just so tired all the time,which is really upsetting me sleeping like I do.
But the one good thing that has happened is that I am having a brand new kitchen after 30 years wooooooooooooo
so cannot wait for the new,kitchen flooring,tiles,new cooker washing machine fridge,window,the lot.
So that is keeping me,going for now.
Right so there you have it my sincere apologies to all of you that are kind enough to follow me,and leave me a comment,you guys have no idea how much this is helping at the moment.

so over at Anything goes this week the theme is MAIL IT
This is what I came up with using papers from a Kan ban kit I bought,

I also did some colouring in,too,which helped to take my mind of some stuff,an image I have had for ages now,so here is that too,xx

so that is it from me today guys take care and I really hope to see you all very soon,all my love Cherylx

Before I tell you about this week's DT post just wanted to let you all know my daughter is getting married on the 5th October this year. So I am busy trying to design her invites,favour boxes,evening invites and believe you me Lisa is so fussy. So its all go just wanted to share that with you all.


Morning guys well wanted to make sure I did not forget to post this today so I have scheduled this one.
Over at Anything goes,this week the theme is,manly so for the man or son in your life why not get your thinking caps on and see what you come up with,as we all know how hard men's cards are.

Well this is what I came up with and its the first time I have ever made a stepper card just never been able to get the hang of them and this one was already cut for me so shows how daft I am,

                             
So there you go my first stepper,I covered the card with some kraft card,then I stamped,the ruler onto some white card added that to one of the steps. Then i stamped the ruler again and cut it up and matted onto kraft card. Then I stamped the chain, etc.,onto Kraft card on the side,then stamped the clocks and hands and then cut out and placed on the side of the card.  The back is again stamped,on to card then cut out.

These stamps are from Kanban. If you want to look for any goodies,you can always pop along to the craft den to see what Lynn has in stock,the link is HERE
So there you go,that is my man's card hope too see what you all come up with if Alfie leaves my side for a minute that is,he is on my lap now as I am typing this ,tell you I have never known such a faithful,and loyal dog in all my life he sure is a great comfort.

Just a card to make you smile,before I sign off,its from the La Pashe CD the best of la pashe,2012

The bubbles,are just drops of glossy accents,then just added a ribbon,some card and cosmic shimmer pink pearl drops.
