Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls

I sometimes like to make just a pretty quaint card with little effort so out came the Cuttlebug A2 embossing folders birds and swirls and a pink card was overlayed onto cream and the edged scallopped.

The cream card was embossed and the bottom with another cuttlebug folder this time Flower Fantasy. the ovals are punches by Stampin Up.

What do you think?

My very wonderful talented friend Claire from Waltzing Mouse Stamps shared a bit of noises we make when getting old, Claire often adds at the bottom of her post "Hope it tickles" well it certainly tickled me into adding my own bit to it.

It goes something like this......

A workmate of Claire's hubby spotted that we make a noise when bending to pick something up when we get to a certain age. that noise according to Claire's spelling is"hhnnngh" whats worse is that Claire notices now that she makes the noise herself and now feels old.

My reaction to this was

"Ok yep I do this too and thanks for pointing this out to me lol!Now lets all have a reality check here because I'm damned if this nice Colin chap is going to get away with it,Claire and all your nice readers... are you listening?you know when you are getting old when...... you bend to pick something up and the hhnngh noise doesn't come out of the top end but it does come out of the bottom end (urghhhh) feel better now Claire???? (giggle)"

So moving on a little further my lovely buttonless man when younger noticed an elderly lady that was a passenger on the bus he used to drive making the same noise every time she got on and he named her Mrs Ooh Argh.

Now I'm turning this over to you to comment on, some of the comments on Claire's Blog are hilarious so I can't wait to hear what comes from my wonderful commenter's.

Hoppin Happy Slide Back Card

Hoppin Happy Digi stamp from Digital Pencil Too coloured with Promarkers, the thank you was stamped onto one of the Fancy Tags by Spellbinders.

An angled view of the slide back card easy to make - just a 14 x 14 finished card with the top layer scored at the half way mark and folded in a mountain fold then take a separate piece of card 14 x 14 and decorate this as the finished seen bit (in my case the bit with the Mo Manning image on it) then add double sided tap on the back bottom half of this piece and stick it to the bottom section of the card under the scored line, this then slides back to make the card stand up.

Closed view of the card.

Papers used for the card are K&Co - Madeline - 8.5x8.5 Double-Sided Paper Pad then stickles used on them to give a little bling.

Attention to detail...

A silk Autumn leaf, a blossom and a key charm from Quixotic Paperie that was silver until I coloured it with a sakura gold calligrapher pen.
