Teddy Bo & Bea Anniversary card

The bank holiday weekend has arrived - hurrah! And its an extra long one for me as I have booked Tuesday as a days holiday as well! Only down side of reaching the bank holiday is that my 'big' birthday is fast approaching - but enough of that!

Weather forecast today was for heavy thundery showers so we didn't go out - as usual they didn't arrive so we just spent the day lounging around, and so I popped to Crafty Corner for an hour or so!

Made this Teddy Bo & Bea Anniversary card today, well printed it yesterday, coloured it this morning and put it together tonight! Looking forward to Tuesday as I intend to spend the whole day in Crafty Corner (apart from when my food shopping is delivered!).

Hope you like this card

Platypus Creek New Masculine Files

What a lovely sunny day! Just a shame that I am stuck at work at the moment. The forecast at the moment is for it staying nice over the weekend so maybe we will be able to use the BBQ again!! Fingers crossed the weather forecasters are right this time.

Over at Platypus Creek Digitals there is a release of some new masculine files, including some cutting files and Digistamps. I have made a Father's Day Themed card using three of the shirts digistamps. Don't forget that these files can also be used for birthdays and anniversaries as well as for Father's Day. (It's Father's Day in Australia in a few weeks time).

If you would like to buy any of these files then please go to Platypus Creek Digitals.

Enjoy the sunny weekend :0)

TTCRD Challenge #31 - Anything Goes With A Twist

Hi Everyone

Are you all enjoying the Olympics? I must admit we have watched more of it than we thought we would, and a majority of it has been very good. Very well done to Bradley Wiggins on winning gold in the time trials today, great ride. Unfortunately Tom Daley didn't do quite so good the other day in the diving, was hoping that I might have something more possitive to say when I posted this card - never mind, better luck next week Tom!

Anyway, back to the new challenge at Through The Craftroom Door which runs from 01-15 August. The theme is anything goes with a twist - white with two other colours (using skin and hair colours are fine) and is sponsored by Ippity and Dude Time Doodles. The prizes for the winners of this challenge are a gift certificate from Ippity for $14.50 and a gift certificate from Dude Time Doodles for $10.00. Come and join in  the challenge at TTCRD - Good Luck!
