TOO MUCH BIRDWATCHING I FEAR!!!

Hello there my blog buddies and welcome to my new follower Teresa - yay!  I am doing my birdwatchy count thing tomorrow but whilst Graham was altering my cupboard I thought I would make a little card - I was supposed to be labouring but inbetween I was crafting.  Well, when I say labouring I was pointing out the screw that he'd dropped on the floor, or the pencil that was behind his ear, finding his hammer - you know what I mean - the difficult stuff!  Oooh and I did hold the vacuum nozzle just underneath where he was drilling - to catch the brickdust!!

I will be filling my new storage next week - I am having a rest this weekend and may be crafting just a tad.  Well labouring is really tiring - lol!

This is the card I made - of course I was thinking of my bird count wasn't I.

This really is a diddy card only 6 x 4.5 inches approx.  I found the image on a freebie site some time ago.  I couldn't get really clear lines when I went to print it, but I felt it would look good with a few steampunky embellishments so I used this die with some cogs and lovely MME papers.  I just loved those little caterpillars and coloured them green in homage to those I found in my knickers!  I wasn't in my knickers at the same time, I hasten to add.  The story is further back in my blog if you are interested - may be that is too much information though!!!!!  Here is the link - lol!  http://susiesplanet.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/not-card-but-story.html

This was a card that came into my head just because I wasn't crafting and I made it really quickly.  I had to wait for the photograph 'cos I didn't want to disturb hubby at his work (on my new cupboard lol).  The thing is, I really like this card myself - totally amazing for me!

 

I love reading your comments, so please leave something of that ilk on my blog - if you have the time of course.  Thank you for stopping by and taking an interest in my creations and my wafflings.  I hope you are all well and cosy and, of course, managing to craft.

 

Big hugs to you all.

PS  I have something ready for my next post but it isn't a card or even papercraft so I hope you are intrigued - then again it could - yup - it could be boring.  And ...... there could be a piccy of my empty new cupboard - and another one later when it is full - not boring at all.
