Funky Friday

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!

Oh dear, I started writing this post at 8.30 this morning and I got side tracked. The time is now 1.35 and I think it's time I finished it lol. There's not much happening apart from work today except that I'm going out at about 3.30. I will tell all, with pictures, tomorrow ;)

Ok, cards.....I've made a few cards for hubby this week as his stock for his night job was getting low. I made him some birthday cards earlier in the week and the following cards were made yesterday.

 

Right, that's it, I'm off. Back soon xx

Funky Friday

Welcome :)

Funky Friday has been and gone and I'm playing catch up again.....I don't suppose I would be me if I blogged every day without fail lol

Materials used:-                               

 6 x 6" scalloped card blank, Free Romance - Dreams Come True cd, Pleased To See Ya - Colour Me Happy, Just For Jen download, Silver Mirri card, Pink ribbon - Ribbon Oasis

All papers are from Funky Hand, a fabulous online store with some beautiful cds and downloads, one of my favourites being the Free Romance papers from the Dreams Come True cd. I'm still using papers from my scrap file and probably will be for the next 5 years LOl

Thanks for reading, back later after tea xx

Funky Friday

Well that's another Funky Friday almost gone.....can you really believe that it is April on Monday?!?

I've been filling up hubbies box of wedding cards and thought I would do a couple for my box (which was a good job actually as I sold one yesterday afternoon) and have still been on my paper using mission :) Although I have been crafty a couple of times as I've wanted a particular paper, I've printed it off at A5 using Windows Photo Gallery and it just reduces the size of the pattern as well as the paper.

My first card is my take on a Choccywoccydoodah cake lol I think it's more of their colour schemes than their wacky cakes!

 I have used the Flower Cake image, paper from the Just For Jen download both from Funky Hand and everything else from my stash.

Another wedding card using the Just For Jen papers from my off cut box, a beautiful piece of white cotton lace and this time the image is one of the pre-coloured images from the Wishes and Kisses cd. 

I hope you like them and thanks for dropping by :)

Funky Friday

Woo hoo, get me.....a Funky (Hand) Friday post on a Friday AND in the morning lol  (it was actually morning when I started writing this post but I got sidetracked and it's now afternoon!

This card has a little gift pocket on the front of it which is great to pop either cash or vouchers in. I thought we would add a bit of zing to the card instead of  sticking to muted colours. Again, the papers are left over from previous projects. Papers used are from the Daisy Day download and Moving Home from the Wishes & Kisses cd, 

I must go now as I'm in the middle of an order for 108 evening invitations.

Have a lovely weekend and I will (hopefully) be back tomorrow :)

Thanks for dropping by. xx

Funky Friday

Well peeps, true to form I am late again. I don't know what it is about these Fridays but I simply end up too busy to update my blog! This week, however is different as I'm not very well. I've got this darned cold/flu bug which is going around at the moment :( My throat feels as though I'm chewing glass, I've got a barking cough, am hot one minute and cold the next and I don't know where hurts the most. Thank you darling #2 daughter...this is one thing I wouldn't have minded you not sharing!!!

My cards were ready in plenty of time to post and I don't know why I didn't schedule them at the beginning of the week when I scheduled my Kanban post, but there you go. Maybe this week I will get my cards made early again and get them up on a post just in case something happens again, it would be nice to actually show them on a Friday as I should.

I have made two very different cards this week. The first is a quick card made with off cuts of paper from one of the Christmas collections, left over from Christmas cards, and a pre coloured image from the Wishes and Kissed cd 

 A typewritten sentiment and an off cut of red ribbon finished the card ready for hubby to take to work with him on Friday morning ready for the evening wedding reception he was djing at.

The second card is from the new download collection Where The Fairies Live and I coloured it with Promarkers. I love these little tree houses, they are so cute! The papers are off cuts again,. The horizontal paper is from the Wishes and Kisses cd, I'm not sure about the others.

Well that's it for me tonight but I will definitely be back tomorrow to finally update here from the weekend.

Take care, sleep tight and thanks for dropping in! :) xx

BFN.

Funky Friday

Firstly I need to apologise for my Kanban post, it was written out ready to post and I forgot to click on the "publish" button. I've just checked in to write my Funky Friday post, albeit late and my Kanban post was sat waiting for me!!!
Also, the update on the chimney saga. It turned out, according to the insurance assessor, that it didn't belong to us but next door :) However, it was recommended that because it isn't in use any more, that it was taken down a few courses, which was done yesterday.
So onto my Funky Friday card and I'm still using the papers from the new collection on the Funky Hand web site, Just For Jen. They are so versatile and I just love 'em! :)

 All the papers on this card are from the Just For Jen collection. The sentiment stamp, stamped onto a price tag, is from the Stepping Out collection by Clearly Besotted.

New cake image is the Star Cake digi stamp from Funky Hand (coloured with Promarkers), Papers used are Hey Baby Boy- Wishes & Kisses, Jingle Bells from Twelve Crafters Crafting,  the Funky Freebie from April 2012, silver mirri card and finally Card Candi in blue.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend :)

Funky Friday

I know it should now be Funky Sunday but I haven't known what day it's been all week, I've thought it has been Saturday since Thursday!!! Hubby works a lot at this time of year and mix that with my 18 and 19 hour days at the mo and it sort of throws one a bit :)

I had a slight accident this morning too. I'm working on a largish project for my first post on the new look Get Funky blog which is now called Get Funky & Craft! I got myself to a strategic point this morning and photographed the pieces I'd done and moved them off my desk onto my open top drawer which, at the moment is an extension of my desk.....and promptly tipped my coffee everywhere. It missed my lap top, thank goodness, but went all over me and some jewellery components which were on my desk so I had to move everything to mop up and clean the desk down. I'm just thankful that I moved my mystery project :)

My cards this week were made on Thursday ready to go out on Friday as part of an order for 21 assorted cards.

Papers used are from the fabulous new Christmas down load section of the Funky Hand web site and all of the images are from last year's Christmas section which are on the Twelve Crafters Crafting cd

That's it for this evening folks. i'm up at  six and have another busy day ahead of me so I will playcatch up shortly.
Take care and thanks for reading.

Funky Friday

Good morning from a lovely sunny Scruff's Corner this morning. The orders are going well but I haven't even started on my own cards yet (I have got a couple of prezzies though ;))

I made my box last week for my friend's daughter's birthday. I really enjoy making these!

 

 

 

 

Materials used are as follows:-

Papers (All available on cd from Funky Hand) 

Just Happy - Dreams Come True 

New Job Bliss - Wishes and Kisses

Hey There Baby - Wishes and Kisses

Purple glitter card

Small doily

Coordinating brads

I was lucky enough to receive one of these a few years ago but unfortunately it got broken when I was moving from the shop. Mine was full of chocolates that my friend had bought on a trip to Brugge and they were yummy :) Sorry I didn't put Belgian chocs in yours Amy...but I did put in some Quality Street (other chocs are available ;)), a pair of baby socks as she is expecting the patter of tiny feet next year and a bookmark with a 30 charm on the end, and yes, it was her 30th birthday.

Back soon, thanks for calling and leaving your comments, they are much appreciated. 

Funky Friday

Good morning and welcome to another Funky Friday. There has been plenty going on this week in Scruff's Corner, lots of cards made and blogger and Facebook problems. Oh and we have been kicked up the butt and have finally started the web site revamp so as you see, it's busy, busy,  busy! However, it does mean that I have actually caught up with the other girls on 
a Card a Day Blogging

I have last week's Funky Friday to show as well as the card I made for this week (which was actually made on Tuesday just in case time wasn't my friend again :)) Instead of making a card, I made some tags and I'm going to parcel them up in bags of 6 I think for the craft fayres. The backs of the tags are blank.

 And this week I succumbed and made a card :)

All of the papers and images (the gorgeous robot is from the Craft The Year Away cd) are from my Funky Hand scrap folder. The buttons are from my vast collection :)

Please don't forget to have a look at the Get Funky! challenge for this month. It runs until the 14th November and there is a prize of a download of your choice but you have to use a Funky Hand product to be in with a chance. If you don't own anything from Funky Hand then don't worry, every month Anice creates a freebie paper for you to use.

As I've used a load of snippets all week (go me!!) I'm going to scare the living daylights out of Di and sneak into the Snippet Challenge playground again :) xx

Thanks for looking :).

Monday's card

I'm playing catch up as usual, one of these days I'm going to meet myself coming back lol! If anyone has any time management tips to pass on then I will gladly listen :) At the moment I'm making cards all day as I had none at all in stock as I gave them all to a shop in town. I not only need to fill my basket again, I need to make Christmas cards to send to the town shop and then I have Christmas stuff to make for a couple of upcoming Christmas Fayres. I work usually from about 8 am till 5 ish when I break off to make tea and watch a bit of TV with hubby, then I come back in here and carry on until about 1 am. I don't have time any more to use my lap top while I'm watching TV as I knit for the Kids Company so I use my TV time for that now. Oh and in between all that I do a bit of h*******k :) Suggestions please!

So, cards

 The papers were on my desk after making my Funky Friday card for this week so instead of putting them away I decided I would make some cards to use it up. The papers for the FF card were out of my snippet box to start with and I still managed to put some back in. Oh and I used them a bit more on Tuesday's card. They are definitely breeding lol

The images are by Jak Heath (I think) bought from Imag-e-nation.

Thanks for dropping by :)

Funky Friday

Crikey what a day...I worked really had today and got to where I wanted to be so I could break off to watch a bit of telly this evening, I came in here at about 9.15 pm to upload this post as I kept forgetting during the day but then got distracted by something else then Alan Carr came on. I might just get this done in the remainder of Friday (unlike last week when it went just past midnight so I missed Friday all together)

I hope all our 'friends' in Scotland are ok in that horrible weather. xx

My card this week is using the Kathy's Waffle Sketchfile sketch and one of the fantastic new downloads which will make up the Oh Come All Ye Crafters series from Funky Hand and they are just fab. I will be uploading more over the weekend but you will have to watch this space for the release date. We have been given six more than are on the web site at the mo so that we can have a play and believe me, you won't be disappointed :)

 The papers for this card is from "Make A List, " The image is separate but they are still Funky Hand images which are new for this year. Everything apart from the pearls on this card are from Funky Hand, even the piece of ribbon which is the last of the ribbon we were sent about 18 months ago, I kept losing it, but at least now it has been used!

I actually love the way the box has turned out. They were made using a set of templates I bought a couple of weeks ago by a very talented crafter (and Kanban teamie) named Emma Goddard from Emma's Cards Uk and the papers from above.

Right, that's it for now. I will be back over the weekend with more from the new downloads.

Take care and thanks for dropping by :) x

Funky Friday

For my card this week I have been playing around with the papers from the new Christmas Tree download,  which is available from the Funky Hand web site for the fabulous price of £2.49. 

This download makes up, along with a matching Wordbook (at £3.49 or together as a multi buy for £4.99) part of the Christmas selection "Oh Come All Ye Crafters".

Instead of making a Christmas card I made a 'new job' card, I hope you like it.

I'd like to remind you that there is still time to join in with the DT over on the Get Funky! challenge blog. The theme this week is WORDBOOKS and if you don't have any of the Funky Hand wordbooks then worry no more, Anice has very kindly made up a freebie so you can play too. It's my turn to add my book on Sunday and I will look forward to seeing what you come up with. Take a look at the challenge blog, there are some absolutely fabulous wordbooks over there.

Have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to. Thanks for looking :) 

Funky Friday

Late again but at least I'm still on the right day. I'm having a nightmare with one of my printers and it's thrown the whole day out with faffing about with it. I use two printers...one I use for printing of papers because it will take compatible inks. I've had it for years but it needs a kick every so often as the pink/red prints like a dirty brown and it usually works again once I've pampered it with a head clean etc but today I had two put 2 different lots of magenta ink in it for it to work. It seems to 'refuse' to work properly whenever I buy new ink for my other printer which I use just for my wedding stationery so maybe it just doesn't like the competition lol.

I sort of got carried away early this morning and instead of just the one card, I made 3 :) Anice has come up with a couple of fabby new downloads called Santa Baby and Christmas Tree from a new collection called Oh Come All Ye Crafters. The downloads are available as papers, word books or both together at a discounted price. I printed off two of the papers then I decided that I would use one of the solid colours as a mat for the patterned papers, then I decided that I wanted another paper but not much of it so I printed this at A5. I then needed another sheet which made 5 in total which is how I came to make 3 cards. My challenge to myself now is to see how many cards or projects I can get out of these four A4 and one A5 sheets of patterned paper. Watch this space......(and I haven't even started on the Christmas Tree selection :)

The Santa image is a pre coloured digital stamp from The Twelve Crafters Crafting cd from last year, I went over his belt and boots with a black Sakura Glaze pen.

Right, I'm now away to print off my Christmas Tree papers and hope Mr Mojo stays right where he is lol.

Sleep tight and thanks for looking :)

Cricket birthday card

My Funky Friday post won't go live until this evening this week as my card is my daughter's birthday card. It's her birthday today but she decided this morning that as she was going to work at 7.15 she would leave her cards to open this evening! I never thought about that when I made it lol

I will, however show you hubby's card (it was his birthday on Wednesday!!)

I've got two more of these stepper cards to show this weekend including DD2's this evening. I do like them but I keep forgetting I've got them.

I made him some cupcakes to take to work to share with his collegues on Wednesday. They went down ok as he took some more on Thursday :)

Just a gentle reminder while I'm here that Kathy's Waffle Sketch File challenge is still live and we would live it if you could take part with us.
                                             
Right-o, I will be back in a while with my Funky Friday card.See you later, thanks for looking.

Funky Friday

When we were in Zakynthos last week we all said that we felt as though we had been over there for months....we've been a few times and are getting to know a few of the locals now, now I feel as though we haven't been away at all, even my poor baby thinks the same and she is only 18!!!

So yes, as it's Friday already I have a couple of Funky cards for you.

 The papers used for this card are from the Wishes and Kisses cd as is the pre-coloured image, the ribbon is available on the web site too. The only extras on this card are a few s/a crystals at the bottom of the white panel.

For this card I used papers from the brand new, just released Daisy Day on the Funky Hand web site. I just added some gems (in the middle of the flowers) and a piece of ribbon.

Thanks for dropping by :) x

Funky Friday

I thought the weather was supposed to change here at Scruff's Corner but it has piddled it down for most of the day. I hope it changes tomorrow as two of my couples are getting married and it's my mum's birthday....so come on Mr Sunshine, we need to see you!


Sorry about the lateness of my post but I have been in wedding stationery mode all day and have had people in and out all day collecting.

My card

I decided to make a joy fold card as I haven't made one for ages. I've used the free Funky Hand paper for this month with the remaining papers coming from my FH bit box and the images are precoloured digi stamps from the Happy Happy Birthday and Craft The Year Away cds with the addition of Sakura Glaze and Stardust pens.


Don't forget that there is still plenty of time to enter the Get Funky! challenge, in fact you could get the kids crafting and entering too. Please just remember our on little rule though, you must use a Funky Hand product to enter. Why not pop over and have a look at some of the fab projects my DT mates have posted.


I'm going to add this to Di's Snippet Challenge blog as it's made up from left overs. I meant to add a card earlier in the week and forgot all about it. Sorry Di.


Thanks for looking.

Funky Friday

I'm playing a little bit of catch up now having just spent a wonderful relaxing week in Cornwall (although it seems a long time ago) and we just got back last night. We were very lucky with the weather. We only had one really sunny day but we only had the rain overnight on Friday so we managed to get out and about every day, except for Monday when I stayed in to catch up with my accounts (sad or what!) This was last years accounts though so you can see why I had to get them done lol.


Anyway, on with my Funky Friday card.

The papers, Hey There Baby and Hey Baby Girl, and the images which are both digistamps on the cd, are all taken from the new Funky Hand cd, Wishes and Kisses and I just added a little bow to the hot water bottle and some pink pearls to the corners.


Don't forget that the Get Funky! challenge finishes today and the new one starts on Sunday with me as the host for July. I look forward to having you join in with us.


Thanks for looking.
