Easter Card - Flower Cross

I only make a couple of Easter cards and the new Just Inklined Flower Cross digital Stamp and the Waltzing Mouse Nestie Eggs clear stamps worked beautifully for my card I teamed them with Kaiser Craft designer papers and did lots of matting and layering in contrasting card, coloured the image with copic markers and added ribbon and pearls the egg was doe cut with the Nestabilities dies by spellbinders.

Day Two in the Big Plan

I marked the points of interest with arrows so you wouldn't miss anything.

I now have some walls again poor Neil stopped late to get the wall skimmed for Paul tomorrow who will fit the extractor fan you can see where it will be going by the hole in the wall to mark it for him tomorrow.

Neil will be skimming the rest of the walls to finish them and hopefully get the shower tray in place too.

As you can see the loo has been fitted back so we could pee before bed time.

Well it wouldn't be a proper job if there wasn't a builders bum shot now would it, I have to say that Neil did threaten not to fit the loo back for the night if I blogged this so I thought I would wait until he'd left to show it to you.

This picture is blurred as I got a bit boggle eyed trying to hold the camera still ha ha.

until tomorrow.

New bathroom - and so the work begins.

It is something that we have been planning for a while now. I know the bathroom is the size of a walk in closet but is was a closet that was desperately in need of a make over.

The plan was to get rid of the bath, we only used the bath to step into to have a shower so it was just crazy to keep it.

From there we decided on a quadrant shower unit, the largest we could get that would fit into the bathroom, a new vanity and handbasin and of course a new loo. Wall tiles and floor tiles and it would be completed, of at least that was the plan.

So the work started today and I took the easy option of going to work, in fact what I should have done was stay at home and make sure that my craft room door was closed tight.

I have a nice thick layer of dust over everything inside that room now.

That's it then, no turning back now.

I really didn't think going back to the brick was part of the plan.

Well at least the nice man left us some where to pee before bedtime.

Mothering Sunday Card

I thought I would post a card made with the new digi £15 pack for Help4Katie this image is from the Floral Thoughts set it is the single flower, I added it several times to a square layout before colouring with Copic Markers, a bit of sponging to distress the edges, lots of matting and layering and a nestabilities label die to cut the center shape.

Magnolia

I have a little problem that occurred today, I don't know why or how it has happened but I'm hoping that it will correct itself real soon, We have been out shopping hunting down new bathroom fitments as we are having a brand spankling new bathroom fitted next week and believe me when I say it is well overdue as our old one is over 20years old and looking rather sorry for itself.

Whilst out I lifted a shopping basket it was an empty one, I handing it to Chris and then shortly after noticed a problem in my wrist the pain it excruciating and I'm back to wearing wrist supports, I thought those days were over I had problems around 5 - 10 years ago and I ended up having to wear wrist supports for a very long time, I'm hoping that I have simply pulled something and it will be better in a day or 2 so keep your fingers crossed.

In the mean time I wanted to share my favourite flower from the Build a Blossom range by La Pashe so here it is, the Magnolia.
