Oh my, I can not believe it has been a year since I last posted on my blog! Wherever has that time gone?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway I am back now with a card I made for some dear friends who recently moved house. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luckily Darnell of <a href="http://www.djkardkreations.com/">http://www.djkardkreations.com/</a> is running her NBUS #11 challenge </div>

This happy little chappie is of course one of Mr Tim Holtz crazy birds, I got him into the party mood by dressing him up in a party hat and matching tie (crazy bird not Jim!) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I coloured him with Distress markers gave him some odd googly eyes and popped him up on a boingy spring for fun (Jim not crazy bird)!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Boy do those Distress markers do what they say on the tin, after spilling his party drink down his front whilst doing the Hokey Kokey dance he was well and truly blended!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello Blog friends, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After visiting Angela's blog <a href="http://angelacuttingandcarving.blogspot.co.uk/">here</a> aka Felix the Crafty Cat last week and seeing her post for the Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #156. I decided to make this card to play along.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The theme is Punches and/or Dies</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have used both die's and punches to create a card which is feminine and reminds me a little of the Victorian style of cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My elements are </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tim Holtz :- Caged Bird die</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marianne Designs :- Swirl Leaf</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sizzix :- Butterfly #12</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stampin Up:- Bird builder punch (leaves)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Crafty Individuals :- Springtime background papers<br />
Sentiment :- Dimension Fourth (I think) <br />
Flowers and bling from stash<br />
<br />
I am linking up to play along in the <a href="http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.co.uk/">http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.co.uk/</a><br />

Hello blog friends, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just making a quick post to share my 1st Tim tag of 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I followed Tim's tutorial <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2016-january/">Here</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He says -</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> "i’m going to be taking you back into the archives of my blog to explore
techniques that might be new discoveries for some, and re-discoveries
for others. each month i will be “remixing” two previous 12 tags
techniques to show you an entirely different outcome using the same
techniques. i plan to highlight new ideas i may have, perhaps show a
new product that might exist now to achieve a similar effect, or just
helpful hints i’ve learned since i originally shared the technique. my
goal is to empower your creative way of thinking and remind you that
inspiration is right at your fingertips".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, having spent a few happy hours in the archives with Tim, exploring
his techniques, re-discovering the things he taut me and waiting with bated breath to be whisked away on a whirlwind of new discoveries I'm feeling empowered and inspired, my creative juice is flowing and with my fingers tingling in
anticipation, here goes! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remember these two techniques from last year and in fact the Industrious Metal technique is one of my favourites, though the Chalkboard Technique is one of my least favourite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the gears from the Industrial Blueprint set of stamps for my image and had to throw away my first attempt at the Chalkboard Technique before realizing my second attempt which wasn't much better could be covered by the decoupaged layer which was my third attempt and as it turned out was the best one,so as the saying goes 'third time lucky' was for me! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the top and bottom part of the tag I used a Cuttlebug (Clockworks) embossing folder, and managed to complete the Industrial Technique without a hitch. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The gear embellishment is cut from Tim's Gadget Gears die and put through the same Industrial process (really happy with how that turned out). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't have any appropriate coloured ribbon so sprayed what I had with some DecoArt media carbon black mister along with a spritz of water and after drying I ran some brushed pewter Distress Stain over the top (love how that turned out too) a gunmetal sort of grey with a subtle shimmery sparkle, just a pity it doesn't show that in the photo's. All that was left was to add a couple of metal gears and a word band. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eh Voila! my January 2016 tag is finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Can you believe it blogger decided to teach me a lesson by refusing to play nicely. I could not get it to publish my post last night, Sunday, until now 11.40 am Monday so of course I have missed being able to link up at Mr Tim's.<br />
I have heard these things happen but I've never had a problem until now.<br />
So lesson learned I must not leave things till the last minute.<br />

Hello Blog friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you are well and surviving the January blues?! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
January always seems to be a miserable month everything seems so drab once the Christmas decorations are down the presents are put away, people are back at work and wondering how long until the next holidays and the weather decides to give us everything except sunshine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's hard to feel motivated by anything! well almost anything as there is always crafting and the excuse to try out the new craft products that father Christmas so thoughtfully left under the Christmas tree. ( only if you were good of course)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So that is how this post came about. I received a new camera and took some practice pics and when I uploaded them to my computer I ended up sorting through all my uploaded pictures and found the following pictures of cards I made for friends but had not put them on my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of people show their favorite makes of the year, so I thought I would post these cards today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WARNING! picture heavy but not much reading. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hello friends and a Happy Friday to you all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am whooshing (that's a Darnell-ism as if you didn't know) in today to link up my card with Darnell's of djkardkreations NBUS challenge. If by chance you are wondering who Darnell is and what does NBUS stand for let me explain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Darnell is one of the most entertaining bloggers (IMHO) in blog land, she runs a happy, entertaining, fun and witty blog with never a dull moment in sight, and as an added bonus she happily shares her amazing clean and simple style of card making art on an almost daily basis. Add to that the regular photographs she posts of the wonders she sees from her Playhouse and the tall tales she tells of her sidekick and muse, Hammy, who resides there, well aren't you just dying to go check her out ?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But wait ! I haven't told you about NBUS. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is an acronym coined by Darnell and stands for <span style="color: blue;">Never-Before-Used-Schtuff</span> and the challenge is to encourage us to use our NBUS from the back of the cupboard - bottom of the draw - top of the wardrobe - under the bed stash and create something with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to go check out Darnell and the NBUS challenge click <a href="http://www.djkardkreations.com/2015/09/its-here-nbus-challenge-5.html">HERE </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This challenge is massively supported by her many friends (followers) and this time for challenge number 5 has many well known sponsors who are generously donating prizes too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Card </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is my first attempt at using Brusho powder inks and I would like to thank Eileen Godwin of<a href="http://eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.co.uk/"> Eileen's Crafty Zone</a> for the inspiration to try these powdered inks. Her art work is amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVk4wwUqW_kGDc7OfvX725u-66XVvYkEO7NzjuKsbGAdNtVyIIRIHD77wFEm8mUZV71eLxRP9T_Grqjh-d6tCibLo_Gj660hDXqEuXqA2lAdwJuISEHLQF3xg5Fdek9K4Lne8sNAIwPnf/s1600/Anne+Gore+Birthday+card+2015+008a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVk4wwUqW_kGDc7OfvX725u-66XVvYkEO7NzjuKsbGAdNtVyIIRIHD77wFEm8mUZV71eLxRP9T_Grqjh-d6tCibLo_Gj660hDXqEuXqA2lAdwJuISEHLQF3xg5Fdek9K4Lne8sNAIwPnf/s320/Anne+Gore+Birthday+card+2015+008a.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>
<br />
I used :-<br />
Penny Black - Floral Display stencil (NBUS)<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brusho - Lime Green and Lemon (NBUS)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clearley Besotted - Sentiment</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish I had used a plain white card stock for this card front instead of pearlescent. I don't like the gold sheen of the card with the Brusho colours, also the black ink didn't cover very well on this card, I had to try several different black inks' and it didn't photograph very well either.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a lot to learn, ah well, I know for next time eh !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Congratulations Darnell on your 5th NBUS challenge and the great response it's achieved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey you've even managed to drag me out of the doldrums and make a card. lol</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hello fellow bloggers, well here I am with my May tag for Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2015 and as usual I am scraping in at the last minute. So I had better not waffle on too long or I will miss the bus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here it is </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ta-daaa </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I followed Tim's great tutorial but used some alternative elements as I did not have all of the items he used. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My tag is a tribute to a significant chapter in my mum's life and indeed mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The picture I've used is a photo of my mum aged about 20. The year was 1953 and she was about to travel to South Africa to marry the man who had written to her and asked her to marry him, my dad. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They were going out with each other when my dad's work took him to South Africa and I guess it was a case of "absence makes the heart grow fonder." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The picture of the ship is an actual poster that I managed to find via the internet of the ship Sterling Castle that my mum traveled on. The All Aboard card is a docrafts Urban stamp as is the ticket at the bottom. I used the same quote as Tim because it does describe my mum, she was kind hearted. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The trinkets I used belonged to my mum the little flower came from a pair of large clip on earrings that I can remember from when I was a little girl, and then found, still in her jewelry box after she died. The little bell is also one of a pair of earrings which my mum really liked and wore often.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the word love from Tim's special delivery remnant rubs on the token, the tattered garland die for two of my flowers and the Gothic stencil for the pink decoration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think my mum was very brave to travel by ship on her own to South Africa at twenty, I really don't think I would have dared when I was that age. But not only that, she also made the return trip back to England on her own with two small children. I was born in 1955 then my brother in 1958. In 1959 they decided that my mum my brother and I would return to England as I would be starting school the following year, My dad stayed there to work another few years before coming back to join us in England. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I am blogging a Card I have made to join in with Darnell's NBUS challenge # 4. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NBUS is an acronym that Darnell christened and stands for Never Before Used Schtuff and the challenge is to encourage us to use some of our stash that has never seen the light of day since being purchased to create something. So if you would like to play along click on this link <a href="http://www.djkardkreations.com/2015/03/nbus-challenge-4-here-we-go.html">djkardkreations</a> to find out her Require-Mints, but you will have to be quick as it ends at 11.55 PST, March 31, 2015. Which of course is TODAY !!! I'm not called Last Minute Lottie ! for nothing you know.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here is my card</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlzWicpFxfgYEtukOgezKqUhdZMZsJ6G8rdAqLSmkTGO8BVvmw9ovi9fHpbcDzUFJUN43IH6QHwJDx6HVNo4LsH-X5OycXXTWo5Fc6VbQUJo7BnmurNG6qBJPSEveZZPa7Kd6dVyGDSt__/s1600/Less+is+More+Butterfly+++water+droplets+card+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlzWicpFxfgYEtukOgezKqUhdZMZsJ6G8rdAqLSmkTGO8BVvmw9ovi9fHpbcDzUFJUN43IH6QHwJDx6HVNo4LsH-X5OycXXTWo5Fc6VbQUJo7BnmurNG6qBJPSEveZZPa7Kd6dVyGDSt__/s1600/Less+is+More+Butterfly+++water+droplets+card+013.JPG" height="320" width="299" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
I made this card in memory of my mum.<br />
<br />
I used Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserve DI to colour the masked panel then went over with a<br />
Dutch Doobadoo chicken wire stencil. I then stamped using Archival black ink and a Inkylicious Water Rain Drops stamp then lifted some of the colour out of the droplets and added highlights with a white Signo pen.<br />
For the embellishment I stamped a Butterfly from the A Muse Studio <i>Pappilon</i> stamps in Versamark and embossed in gold, then coloured with Distress Markers. The sentiment came with a magazine.<br />
I like how realistic those water droplets look and the pretty Butterfly embellishment, though I would prefer the stenciling to be a little lighter next time.<br />
So my NBUS are :-<br />
Dutch Doobadoo Chicken Wire stencil<br />
Inkylicious Water Rain Drops stamp <br />
A Muse Studio <i>Pappilon</i> stamp set<br />
Magazine freebie sentiment stamp<br />
So happy to have been able to play along in Darnell's NBUS challenge # 4.<br />
<br />
See you soon and thanks for dropping by<br />
<br />
Happy Art making<br />

Well, for once I am I am not "last minute Lottie" as I have managed to make and actually post my finished tag at the beginning of the month instead of at the end or even not at all!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I followed Tim's detailed tutorial which you can check out <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2015-february/">here</a> but used Madam Payraud's 8x8 paper stack for my collaged background, love these papers. I also used a piece of Docrafts adhesive fabric 'Sew Lovely' Tape Measure paper roll which has got lost under the frame and heart. I stamped the word Love on a ticket from the ticket strip die as I didn't have any of the Holiday Flash Cards and also added a strip of Sketchbook tissue tape.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I made my felt heart by first sticking felt to some card and die cut using the M+S heart die, then die cut another felt heart without the card backing, and also cut another heart from some light weight wadding. I trimmed down the heart wadding a little and used a small amount of glue to stick it to the felted card then made a sandwich, card/felt, wadding, felt heart. I then sewed round the whole thing on my sewing machine which was a bit fiddly and not as evenly stitched as I would have liked, but I could almost hear Tim in my head saying "embrace the imperfections" so I did ! lol </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I decided to add some seed beads for texture and to give a quilted look which also doesn't show up very well in the photo's.</div>

<br />
To finish off I added one of the corners from the industrious stickers, a couple of heart brads slightly inked with a litlle Black soot DI to the word band (it is a Valentine tag after all) a snippet of lace to the bottom and some crinkle ribbon to the top, coloured with a Marvy Brush Marker which matched the colour of my felt heart perfectly.<br />

<br />
I enjoyed making Tim's February Tag and am happy with how it turned out though I think I might add more of the Black Soot DI next time to give better shadows around the collaged pieces. I panicked and smudged more off than I left (Tim didn't offer up any encouragement during that part) lol. So I'm off to link up over at Mr H's place and take a look at some of the great tags and leave a little love.<br />
Thanks for stopping by have a great week <br />
Happy Art Making<br />

Hello fellow desk hoppers, hope you are well and keeping as warm as you can on these wintery days. Here in West Yorkshire we have had some sun today (which always gives you a lift) though it is very cold. Anyway down to business. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Desk</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVoSNPPfGkA-wwt40iqP_TgJ0EbV02SE8Fco0N5Yg_2RgSTUc1UWt6tfE9ChtfWtNWxstYmuH6vZnOyBvZyZZfzGpGN_yjykO_8fQv9WTJCIQSr0XWOcBsH0SBxG4qAOliDPMbDUeQ6GD/s1600/WOYWW+268+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVoSNPPfGkA-wwt40iqP_TgJ0EbV02SE8Fco0N5Yg_2RgSTUc1UWt6tfE9ChtfWtNWxstYmuH6vZnOyBvZyZZfzGpGN_yjykO_8fQv9WTJCIQSr0XWOcBsH0SBxG4qAOliDPMbDUeQ6GD/s1600/WOYWW+268+002.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or to be more precise the new area
for my finished DI storage units and shelving at the end of my desk
(thank you Jim) Perfectly sized or so I thought until Mr TH announced 12
new DI colours to be released over the next 12 months. Hmmm maybe with a
slight modification.................</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Jim! have you got a minute"? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I
don't know why but those six little words seem to cause a glazed look
and a nervous tick to affect Mr B within a nano second of me uttering
them.</div>
The only problem was the sun hits my desk at this end so I needed a front to stop the inks drying up.<br />
"Jim! have you got a minute" <br />
Voila<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4CSd57Db198fR8u08HrXivc64XvlgtB1wzwJS-1Edk17T3603DvCa8ubh5witT7L2IyJWKAOfTf2w8ZKlLGAFoxhIwQUPKEUO3Tp5QNqvLvqWFmidcz6cP2l-ceGslk1y-F0LiP794Vl9/s1600/WOYWW+268+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4CSd57Db198fR8u08HrXivc64XvlgtB1wzwJS-1Edk17T3603DvCa8ubh5witT7L2IyJWKAOfTf2w8ZKlLGAFoxhIwQUPKEUO3Tp5QNqvLvqWFmidcz6cP2l-ceGslk1y-F0LiP794Vl9/s1600/WOYWW+268+007.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
It is held in place with magnetic tape and works well, I just remove the front when I use the Inks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All I need to do now is decide on how to decorate it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
After faffing round deciding what to put on my little shelves Rufus decided to make use of the newly de cluttered desk space and claim it as his own, cheeky boy. </div>

Oh! wait a minute I just realized when looking at this last pic that I need a front for the other side, what can I say I neeeed symmetry in my life.................... </div>

Hello fellow bloggers,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today is the start of Zsuzsa's new weekly link party, Sunday Sentiments. Everyone is welcome and the rules are very simple: post a link to your crafty project that includes a meaningful sentiment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you would like to know more and would like to join in click on this link > <a href="http://inkydinkydoodle.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page.html">Introducing Sunday Sentiments</a> to be taken to her information page.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zsuzsa has created a beautiful vibrant canvas with of course an appropriately lovely sentiment. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, for my offering I am linking this 60th Birthday card that I made for a male friend as it has the required meaningful sentiment (I hope). My card base was coloured with Denim and Vintage Photo DI, then embossed with the Pocket Watches embossing folder. I used the movers and shapers mini pocket watch die to cut some foil covered grunge board which I then embossed with the Gears folder. I used Tim's industrial technique to finish it off. I also used this technique on the numbers 6 and 0.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sentiment I created on the computer and printed on to some Vintage Photo Distress inked manilla card stock and placed behind a black card, pocket watch die cut. To finish off I added some idea-ology gears and a piece of chain.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you will join in with Zsuzsa's new Sunday Sentiment link party, she even allows you to link to a previous project you have made, which is excellent, as I think most of us have probably said "sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day"!</div>

Hi WOYWWers,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been a while since I last played along so I thought I had better get my act together and join in with some desk hopping. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First though I must apologize for the rubbish quality of the photo today, as I took my camera out of it's case I managed to alter "something" ??! Every photo was terribly out of focus so I messed about trying to put things right, but seeing as I hadn't a clue what setting it had been on (did I mention I am technically challenged) I was stumped! This pic was the best I could do, so I'm afraid it is WYSIWYG ................... What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get, which is pronounced wiz-ee-wig in case you were wondering lol<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am in the middle of making a 60th Birthday card for my friend Joe and have just added the piece of chain hence all the bits of jewelry. The little jam jars house various sizes of split rings, the tall container holds brads, the tube at the back is a file set. The skeleton languishing on my phone is to remind me Halloween is just around the corner and the two Christmas cards are to remind me Christmas is just a little bit further round the corner........... only kidding (though these days I seem to have to make a heck of a lot of "reminder" and "to do" lists) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Christmas cards are from <a href="http://www.djkardkreations.com/">Darnell's</a> NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) challenge, from last week, she had hit the 600 follower mark and to celebrate decided to have her second NBUS challenge which had an amazing 300 entries, Way to go Darnell!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So my desk hopping friends, that's about it. I must away back to my Birthday card as I need to make a suitable insert and cut a card base to finish off, then I'm off to the post office with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
See you at your place later</div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Hello to you, I hope all is well with you and yours on this rather cool and dull day ( well it is here in Yorkshire) you can definitely tell Autumn is fast approaching. Don't get me wrong I love this season it's just that you know that winter will soon be following eek!</span></h2>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"> On card #1 the Reindeer is from a set of Christmas stamps that came with a magazine (NBUS) I used Imagination crafts snowflake stencil (NBUS) for the background with Texture paste and glitter, the larger die cut topper is cut from Sizzix Labels also NBUS, the smaller one I used is Spellbinder labels 18 .</span></h2>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">On card #2 I used the snowflake from the above mentioned stamps to create a background and Spellbinder Nested Hearts (NBUS) to cut a vellum topper for the Reindeer, I also used the embossing paste through the pattern of the die to create the pretty filigree border. as you can probably see I managed to smudge some ink from the Reindeer, I wont tell you what I said !! my black Stazon had dried up so I had to use my Versafine pad and the ink just would not dry. The sentiment is also (NBUS) from Stamptivity which is no longer trading. </span></h2>

Hello friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well I could almost cut and copy the first sentence from my June tag post, as I am so 'last minute Lottie again' !! I shall blame our hot sticky weather for sapping all my energy, also a family funeral to attend, but on a happier note an enjoyable day out to Lincoln with Katie for a workshop making a mini storage box designed by Anne go <a href="http://bollyanne.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/a-mini-storage-box.html">here</a> if you would like to see what it looks like. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I still have quite a bit to do before I finish mine, so watch this space. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry I didn't get to meet you Anne, hope there might be a next time x </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any way something I have managed to finish just in the nick of time is my July tag, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And here it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a thing for seahorses so this tag was a delight to make I followed t!ms tutorial <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2014-july/">here</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His tutorials are excellent, very easy to follow and with the added bonus of step by step photo's.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My tag is more or less the same as t!m's I just added some seedless preserves DI to my sea horse and seaweed. I didn't have the linen ribbon so I used a net bag from a bag of onions, the bag was orange so I coloured it with my Promarkers which gave a key to the plastic so I could then use the same distress paint colours as the background of my tag. I am quite pleased with the effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just had one problem and that was with the distress crackle paint which did crack beautifully but unfortunately fell off in places when I inked it with the pumice stone stain. I think maybe I applied too thick a coat or possibly the D paint wasn't quite dry when I applied it. I reapplied a thinner coat in the places it had fallen off and it was ok but it didn,t crack as much.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall I am happy with my little sea horse and the clever way t!m showed us how to "create" sand, I wonder what he will come up with next? Only a few more hours and I will find out lol</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wishing you a great weekend</div>

Happy Art making</div>

Hello again,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here we are again, it's Wednesday and we are having another beautiful day. My hubby finishes work on Friday for two weeks, what's the betting the weather breaks on Friday tea time. Can you tell I am a pessimist? I shall keep my fingers crossed and see if that works, lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any way lets get down to business here is my desk</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To the left. My very sophisticated set up for taking the pics of my cards etc. The little tub on the windowsill is a decorated tub of cotton buds, ok until it needs refilling, I can NEVER transfer the contents over successfully! Most of the schtuff on my desk is the fallout from another pop up box card I made for my bloggie friend Anne's birthday <a href="http://bollyanne.blogspot.co.uk/">http://bollyanne.blogspot.co.uk/</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The centre. The little pots hold Black and Gold glitter, in front of them are a set of files, and my monica that I have stamped onto sticky label sheets and punched out ready to use, then more leftovers from the box card.</div>

To the right. Bits of coloured waste from some of the flowers and butterflies I used on the box card, tools, washie tape, foam pads, embossing tools under the papers sits a black stationary tray for rulers, erasers and othe bits n pieces. There's a mock up of the box card, my printer, which decided it would no longer accept card and refuses to work ! score boards on top, and on the windowsill the box where my scissors, knives, tweezers etc live. My notepad is at the ready for noting down the names of the WOYWWers I visit (my memory is not what it used to be). Where was I ?? Oh yes, well that's about it for this weeks desk, thank you for paying me a visit today and I will do my best to come visit you and your desk.<br />
For those of you that would like to take a peek at Anne's card ..........Here it is...............<br />

I must apologise for the quality of these photo's, I kept retaking them but just couldn't seem to make them any better. I think maybe I need to upgrade my very sophisticated photography set up!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I tried to make this card using everything t!m holtz as Anne is a t!m groupie, I mean fan lol, I almost managed it apart from the tiny butterflies (stampin up) the hello my friend which was computer generated to fit the film strip. Also the Take time sentiment, which is from Paulette over at </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.co.uk/">http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.co.uk/</a> was printed on to tissue paper and adhered with Ranger multi matte medium , and the scrolls above and below are a spellbinder die.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phew!! I don't know about you but I think I need a cup of tea after all that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you if you stuck it out till the end, I hope you have fun desk hopping and have a great weekend, come rain or shine! or should that be shine or rain, I wonder if whoever thought that up was a pessimist??</div>

Happy Art making</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi there,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope everyone is enjoying a little sunshine this week, we have had some here in Yorkshire, plus a huge thunderstorm which helped clear the muggy air and freshened things up a bit. Today was very windy but beautiful, so all in all a bit of a mixed bag so to speak.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But you are not here to talk about the weather so I will quickly move on and show you my desk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfsUYBYPXFS-ORpwXbTPK3UcWZba2WUFk2tgADYFUubTKu6Echonci8iNq55aIZZ3i0MMMzha7Dnl3y4cWbO2xEuS1sosLsZuBb17MqhG3jfjwpQ8mNMEU2CGIHuadhYGwHA-IH-q-vwL/s1600/WOYWW+%23+266+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfsUYBYPXFS-ORpwXbTPK3UcWZba2WUFk2tgADYFUubTKu6Echonci8iNq55aIZZ3i0MMMzha7Dnl3y4cWbO2xEuS1sosLsZuBb17MqhG3jfjwpQ8mNMEU2CGIHuadhYGwHA-IH-q-vwL/s1600/WOYWW+%23+266+002.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
So, strictly speaking this is not what's on my work desk Wednesday, more what's on my work desk Tuesday night! I know that's not strictly how it should be done but what can I say call me a rebel !!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What you see is Rufus in determined pursuit of a moth, this was late last night I had my window open as it was so warm and in flew a huge moth. Rufus and Jasper his brother, who by the way was fast asleep on the floor and in any case is too fat and lazy to be bothered with moth's, are indoor cats so this is the closest they come to hunting. However fate decreed this was moth's lucky night as it hid at the back of the drawers and I turfed it back outside this morning, where it fluttered off, no doubt to find it's friends and tell them of the terrible ordeal that had befallen it ! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There isn't a lot to see really, I store my alcohol markers, stamp pads, tools etc etc in the drawers, underneath are my D Inks ( still trying to finish building the rest of the storage trays for them.) Under Rufus are some bits and pieces from Katie's pop up box card that need putting away, and that's about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did take a photo of said pop up box card so if you would like to take a peek,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
here it is.</div>

I was really happy how it turned out, though with it having all the buttons as flower centres it finished up being a bit bulky, not so good if it had to be posted but as I gave it to Katie it didn't matter and she loved it.<br />
We went to a Mongolian all you can eat Buffet for her birthday, the food was really good and Katie was presented with a desert with a fire work on top by the manager, we all sang happy birthday, much to her embarrassment lol and a good night was had by all.<br />
Wishing you a happy week, enjoy your desk hopping and hope to see ya next time.<br />
Happy Art making<br />
Hugs Lottie x <br />

Hello again desk hoppers,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well friends that's another week flown by. Last week I read that we are exactly half way to Christmas, Eeek surely not ! now don't get me wrong I love Christmas but I remember when old people used to say "ee bah gum these years don't half fly by when tha gets older" I used to think to myself a years a year how can they get any shorter? I hate to say it but I now know exactly what they meant !!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway enough of Christmas, let me show you what's on my desk.</div>

First off I received another ATC, this is from Kay @ <a href="http://505whimsygirl.blogspot.co.uk/">http://505whimsygirl.blogspot.co.uk/</a> <br />
Thank you Kay, love your butterfly girl ATC and the lovely card ( which yes I am sure I will use) and also the feathers from Poppy the parrot which match the colour of the bird on the card to a T.<br />
My T!m tag for June is at the back of my desk as I only just finished it this Monday, think my nickname should be 'last minute Lottie' ! Everything else on my desk is for a card I am making for my daughter Katie's birthday. I am making a pop up box card and am just trying to decide what to decorate it with, hence the flowers and die cuts. Guess when her birthday is ...............TODAY !!!!!!! <br />
I did present her with this card this morning<br />

So I had best get off and finish her 'Original' one off, handmade with love birthday card, before she returns home.<br />
Oh ! one more thing I just want to wish my bloggy friend Darnell<br />
@ <a href="http://www.djkardkreations.com/">http://www.djkardkreations.com/</a><br />
<br />
A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY and hope you have a fantabulous day (((((((Mwahh)))))))<br />
<br />
Maybe you nice people could hop on by and leave a little birthday happiness too.<br />
I will try to visit your desks but it will probably be in the next few days as we are taking the birthday girl out for a meal this evening.<br />
Have a happy day desk hopping, see ya next time.<br />
Happy Art making<br />

Hey, Happy Monday to you, hope you had a great weekend.<br />
I am so last minute (again) posting my June T!m tag, good job there is the difference in time zones is all I can say.<br />
I followed T!m's tutorial <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2014-june/">here</a> but I must say getting a result that I was happy with from the water colour monoprint technique took me 3 attempts. I used the speckles stencil first but thought the colours were too muddy so I tried the doily stencil (twice) and didn't like those either. I decided to stamp up my first attempt thinking the butterflies would cover most of the muddy part and see how it looked. I thought it wasn't too bad so carried on and finished it off.<br />
I really enjoyed making this months tag and realise I definitely need those mini Distress inks, it would have been much easier to apply smaller amounts of ink to the stencil.<br />
I love the Paula Cheney bow, so easy when you know how eh.<br />
So am I happy with this tag?<br />
Yes I am! and the funny thing is, is that the thing I love most about my tag <br />
is that area of muddy inking at the bottom of the tag.<br />
Ahh well alls well that ends well, as they say.<br />
Have a great week<br />
Happy Art making<br />
Hugs Lottie x <br />

I am here with a card today to join in with Darnells brand new NBUS challenge, Darnell coined the acronym heself, which by the way means "never-before-used schtuff" as a way to motivate herself to use products that she had bought, won or received as a gift that had been put away and forgotten about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I think most of us will be a tad guilty of that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So when she reached the awesome target of 500 followers she wanted to mark the occasion with something different and came up with the "I love to play at NBUS" challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you click on the link bellow it will take you to Darnell's blog where you can find out all the information you need to take part.</div>

For my card I have used my NBUS Chocolate Baroque Home Sweet Home stamp set ( I think I've only had them for about two years (eek, slap my wrist)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I coloured the image using distress markers also NBUS and a water brush, I used Tim Holtz Rays embossing folder with distress inks for the background and the sentiment was a digital freebie from' t tinterweb ( bit of Yorkshire speak ). I am unusually quite pleased how it turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I must dash I am so last minute I think I will prolly be the last person to use Mr Linky</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you Darnell for having this super idea and encouraging us to play along I think it's gonna be a great success. Mwahhh</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Art making</div>

Hello desk hoppers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope everyone is tickety boo today, I am feeling somewhat less frazzled as it is a little cooler today so I feel less like a wet dishcloth! Why do we get such horrid humid and muggy days for our summer? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't been too busy in the craft room department either, but I have managed to photograph the ATC's that I received from the WOYWW anniversary swap.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is so exciting finding one of these little beauties behind the door.</div>

Hello desk hoppers,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, are all you organised ATC swappers sitting back and breathing a satisfied sigh after the flurry of what to make, what to use, what colour, what style etc. etc. is finally achieved, accomplished and posted. I know some ladies actually posted their ATC swaps in time for their recipients to actually receive them on or even before the actual swap date................ or, are there others out there who like me are playing catchup, I hope I am not alone! Any way I have finally finished mine and they are on there way (sigh). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you BJ for your perfect ATC love it, yours should be with you soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Better get down to business, here is my desk.</div>

My desk is still as it was yesterday, apart from the new goodies at the back that Malcolm the DPD delivery man brought me today. I know what you must be thinking, that I must get a lot of parcels if I am on fist name terms with the delivery man, but no, with DPD you can track your parcel on line and they tell you who your delivery man will be, what number parcel you are, where he is on his route and what time he will arrive, Malcolm arrived within a minute of the expected time. Brilliant!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The butterflies and wink of stella are from a birthday card I made for my friends birthday (see pic below). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My T!m tag is still on show as................. I only went and "bloomin" got picked as a WINNER on his blog! I couldn't believe it, Woohoo, THE MILKY BARS ARE ON ME!!! :-)))</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's pretty much it really, the plastic box has card scraps in for using with the butterfly die and the other box has all the waste bits from the die cut which I keep to use on future cards, like this one.</div>

My desk is fairly tidy (for me) as I just finished my May tag for T!m Holtz 12 Tags of 2014 on Monday and had to seriously tidy up. So on my desk you can see my new DI storage system. They are laser cut ready to assemble MDF, I have made up five of the trays so far only another 45 to go eek! I'm gonna need a bigger bottle of glue me thinks.<br />
The block in the middle of my desk is my home made glue bottle holder, which I found out while assembling, was something I absolutely needed. This was a joint effort by Mr and me, he knocked together some bits of wood and I artistically decorated it with paint and pretty paper, perfect!<br />
The mobile phone stand is all my own work made from a mini easel, chipboard, the same paint and paper line.<br />
The basket to the right has my paraphernalia for T!ms April tag in it (and some of the new shadow press folders from this months tag) err yes I know it's May but I have been otherwise occupied, I will get a round tuit ....honest!<br />
In front of the basket are my blending blocks another team effort from Mr and me (what would I do without him x) <br />
The picture of a girl on her bike is a cross stitched piece I made for my daughter quite a number of years ago, and is waiting to have the frame re painted to match her bedroom.<br />
The black plaque to the left I bought to maybe alter as it was only £1 as was the ribbon, just loved that shade of green.<br />
And that as they say, is that !<br />
I will be taking part in the ATC swap and look forward to finding out who my recipient will be.<br />
If anyone else is interested I would be happy to do a swap with you too just email me with your address.<br />
Enjoy your desk hopping and<br />
Happy Art making<br />
Hugs Lottie x<br />

Youhoo !! Hi, Hello there, G'day Bonjour, Gutentag, Ciao, Hola, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How is everyone on this fine (well I hope it is where you are) Bank holiday Monday? enjoying doing something you like, I hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok so that's the pleasantries out of the way, now down to business!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am listening to Glen Campbell while I sit here playing on my blog, I would insert a smiley face here if I only knew how :-) best I can do lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see I have managed to make this months T!m tag, pretty much as per his instructions <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2014-may/">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the oval frame from the Tag and Book plates die and used the same technique as T!m used on <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2014-january/">January's Pocket Watch Tag</a>, </div>

I liked how it turned out but it did seem to take up more space on the tag and I was limited then on how many embellishments I could fit on. I didn't have T!ms wallflower paper stack so used Docrafts Madame Payrauds paper line and shock horror you will no doubt have spotted the imposter trying to blend in as a bona fide T!m trinket, yep the heart wings lol, in my defence they were just the right size and hey I like them ! I used Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord and edged with Frayed Burlap DI though in the photo's my tag looks very pink. Love the new shadow press de-bossing folders, you get a great look and there are some fab words.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have just spotted in my photo's that the trinket pin is missing from the top of the tag, all I can say is that it refused point blank to be seen on the same tag as "the imposter" and muttered something about did I not know about it's famous lineage, or maybe it's just because I forgot!!</div>

So, overall I enjoyed making T!m's May tag, it was a little bit fiddly and I can't tell you how many times I moved everything round trying to find the right place for each piece but I suppose there isn't really a right or wrong way and I'm fairly happy with the end result so it's all good and I'm looking forward to the next one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm now off to see if I can upload it over at T!m's place and have a shufty at everybody else's masterpieces. Glen has packed his guitar away and is heading off back to the homestead so I will say ta ta for now. Take care and</div>

Happy Art making</div>

Hello peeps,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Goodness me I can't believe we are into April already, it doesn't seem like two minutes since we took the Christmas tree down, then all too soon the Easter bunny will be hopping along.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So seeing as my New Years resolution was to try and post more frequently (trying but not always succeeding) I thought I would share this card with you today that I made for Mothers day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My mum passed away suddenly in 1995 and I usually make a card for her birthday, mothers day etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently bought this lovely new Memory box Perky Poppy die and seeing as Poppy's represent remembrance I thought it would be ideal for my Mothers day card.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started by cutting the whole shape out of my white card front topper, I then cut a piece of paper slightly smaller than the topper and used a tape runner all over one side and stuck it to the back of the topper so that the sticky tape is showing through the poppy aperture. I then cut the Poppy out again in purple, green and black card, edged with DI then popped the different pieces back into the main die cut Poppy shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cut the stamens and a couple of the leaves again and decoupaged them for added dimension. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and to finish off I added some shading round the Poppy and Distress inked around the outside of the card and sentiment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love how it turned out and think mum would like it too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I already said, I love purple, I love poppy's and I love my mum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the way I must say a big "THANK YOU" (said in a hi pitched giddy voice) to Katie and Oliver for my own wonderful Mothers day gift of, the full set of t!ms Distress Markers !!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Woohoo! doing a happy dance :-))</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope your week is filled with crafty delights too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Art making</div>
