Toot toot!

Hello lovely people,

Phew, another busy weekend for me!
It all kicked off with a night out on Friday with much beer and dancing to celebrate a neighbour's birthday.
This was followed by a visit to friends yesterday, where we were treated to some tasty curry, cocktails and a glass (or 3!) of wine :-)
 After a wonderful cooked breakfast we headed back home and I enjoyed a nice quiet Sunday afternoon of crafting.

Appropriately the card I have to share with you today is the one I made for my neighbour's special birthday and it is also my first October card for the LOTV Design Collective.

I was struggling to find the right shade of red card to cut the numbers out of and then had what I thought was a rather a bright idea to cut them out of my usual white colouring card and colour them with my Copics.  A perfect match and I think the shaded effect looks good too!

He loves vintage cars so the choice of image was a no-brainer and I got to play with this stamp for the first time - yay!

Game on!

Hello lovely people,

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  I am having my favourite kind of weekend - a crafty one!  Today I have restarted my Kit & Clowder colouring lessons; I just kept running out of time for them last year so this is the year to get it done!

Now, what's your favourite kind of card to make?

I have lots (mostly involving pink!) but I can tell you what it isn't and that's cards for men, or even worse, teenage boys - eek!

So, I dragged myself out of my comfort zone for this one and you know, well, I don't hate it!

I have to say the image really did all the work on this card as it's so fab and would suit many teenage boys!  Or quite a few adults too I reckon!

I'm off out tonight for the Caterham Seven Club Christmas dinner...yes, you read that right but we do like to be different!
And in case you don't know what a Caterham Seven is...

This was taken on a weekend away in Torquay with the club in September last year.
Our car is the further away green one and that's me in the cream fleece with Dr. Hubby just behind me.

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you leave; it's so nice to hear from you :-)
