Almost done

My list is shorten really fast at the moment so I shall also add this week's, it is full to the brim as usual! :)

Left on the list are:-

another breast cancer awareness phone charm done

finish my samples for Debbi Moore done (I can't show these until Debbi gives me the nod)

Seating plan, 10 table names and 80 place cards in progress and will hopefully be finished tomorrow!

three birthday cards and a bracelet as a b'day pressie Done (I can only show one at the mo as the other two are for forum birthdays)

And finally a challenge card - hooray. I made a card for MiL to say thank you for all her help last weekend, I couldn't have done it without her.

This card fits the DCM Dare for this week which is set by Rhi

NOW ! - on to this weeks dare - we have a team dare this week, and we were thinking.....with so many new things /latest papers/ trendy stuff constantly coming on the market, we thought it would be nice to have a look back, and dig out some of our 'old' papers and embellishments and make a card with our 'preloved' treasures. I think the tendency these days is to get on the 'latest must have' band wagon, sometimes, its nice to recognise what we already have- even if it isn't the 'latest' embellishment/paper.

I have used K & Co Somerset paper (as that is where the card is going :)) Flowers are Prima, brads are Doodlebug and the little bird stamp, I think, is by Rhonna Farrer.

Two becomes one!

I have felt absolutely lousy all weekend. My head feels as though it is about to explode, my nose has started running but I have a horrid smell at the back of my nose and a foul taste in my mouth so I think it might be my sinuses.

Yesterday I beaded the bodies for 42 dragonflies for the Order of Service for my mum and dad. I made a couple of dare cards and threw them in the bin!! This morning I decided that, despite having loads of work on, I am going to do at least one challenge or scrapbook page a day. We went to my parents' house last weekend and brought thousands of photos back so I have those to sift through and scan to scrap too. So here is my first double challenge. It is a combination of Sue's template

and Friday's DCM challenge

As a reward for all the brain power that went into the Little Extra this week, this is a simple one. From simple LythanWith a cryptic clue.Which, as I discovered to my embarrassment, when I laid it on the team, is only really possible to understand if you live in the UK. And even better, are Welsh.So... a trio of Welsh Barbers means that on your card you need to have 3 die cuts!( Dai is a common Welsh nickname for David and as there are a lot of Dai's around they are known by their jobs so a Welsh barber would be known as Dai Cuts. I'll get my coat.)
The team roused themselves from their bafflement and came up with these brilliant cards - can't wait to see yours!Here are Lythan's "simple" rules:If you don't have access to die cuts in any shape or from, you can still play along. You can then use punches. And if you don't have punches then you can do hand cutting. See how nice I am?BUT no cheating now! No reaching for the scissors if you have a machine to hand - or even some old die cuts you bought ages ago (that would be me then!) You CAN use punches and scissors etc as well as die cuts though. See, very nice!!

Here is the card

All papers are K & Co. The floral paper is from the 6 x 6 Somerset pad and the others are from the new McKenna mat stack. Flowers are cut using a Cuttlebug die, layered (there are 3 of them) and held together with a Papermania brad. Sticky ribbon is by Papermania too. Stamp is one of the super cheap Studio G range and the diamantes are from my stash.

Back later.
