The house of the rampant frogs...... (Alias Kanban Thursday)

You want to hear the blooming racket in our garden at the mo, they sound like very distant motor bikes! I can't remember frogs being as noisy with their mating calls....maybe it's cos they are so late in the season. It's not noticeable during the day because of all the other noises but when it's dark and still outside it's really quite loud. We are up to 11 clumps of spawn in our pond so far which I'm pleased about as I was worrying last week that we wouldn't get any this year because of the cold weather.

So now for my cards (I've still got enough Kanban stuff to make hundreds more cards for this section of my blog)

Kanban Thursday

Good morning everyone, I hope you're all ok in this horrible wind. We had chimney pot fall off yesterday and it took some tiles off next door's roof. I say 'a chimney' because we're not too sure if it's ours or theirs!!

So yes, it's Kanban day again and I am totally ahead of myself as I have already made my Funky Hand card for tomorrow AND my DT cards for next week.....get me! lol

Thanks for dropping by. I've got a busy day ahead as I'm attending a hotel wedding open evening tonight as one of their recommended suppliers.

It's Kanban style :)

I hope everyone is ok and keeping warm. The timing for the delivery of my new Kanban kit is perfect (thank you Karen & co) as it means that instead of going out in the freezing cold I can stay indoors and craft :) I'm still fulfilling orders and have yet to start on our personal ones yet! We have finally started the prezzie shopping and will try to get the majority of it finished this week. I plan to do some internet shopping tomorrow too as I really dislike shopping so unfortunately I am responsible for the decline of town centre shopping :(

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, my Kanban delivery (they are bringing out some truly fab stuff at the moment and great plans are afoot for 2013 so watch this space :)) I couldn't resist making this card.

Soggy Saturday......

also known as Sugar Button!!! These are just so cute Kathryn and perfect for little girls's cards. When I bought the kit I also bought the paper pad and rubber stamps. I'm so pleased I did though because I haven't even dared to dip into the kit properly, I keep trying to use it but I just put the lid down on the box. Will this feeling ever go away? lol

 

Both cards are made using the stamps and papers from Sugar Button as I said before (I keep wanting to call them Sugar Dumpling!! lol), the netted flower on the top card is made from ivory Spiders Web from Kanban and the ribbon on the bottom card is from Kanban too, everything else is from my stash. Oh and I added lots of Glamour Dust to the fairy on the bottom card, on her stars as well as her wings :).

I will be adding my card to a Card a Day Blogging and the following challenges, Allsorts Challenge which is Bring on the Bling, the Daring Cardmakers and their challenge is Twinkle Twinkle - to have at least one star on your card, Papertake Weekly who want to see Ribbons & Pearls, either of both - well I've got pearls on the top card and ribbon on the bottom one :).

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments, they are really appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

Kanban Thursday

Good morning world, it's an awful long time since I was last here, well, 8 days to be precise. I added these cards and materials on Monday evening so I could just add a bit of dialogue before they went live.......and promptly forgot about them. Apologies if you received this post as it was lol. I have had a pig of a week (and some very nice bits :))but I think I'm coming out of the other side, my load seems to be lightening :). 

I have made loads since I was here last but have just been photographing them and sticking them in my 'Edit' folder. I am going to make some computer time today to start sorting them out so there might be loads of posts over the next few days. I haven't joined in with the 'challenge' on FB a Card a Day Blogging, the Facebook page  I also need to update my side bar with my design team members as some have left all of the DTs I'm on.

It was my wedding anniversary on Tuesday and we went out for a lovely meal on Tuesday evening to a TexMex restaurant in town where we used to go an awful lot when we first got together. I think the fact that hubby lived across the road at the time and it was often easier than cooking lol. Anyway when we finished the meal we were just getting ready to leave when he presented me with a white envelope and in it were.........tickets to see Gary Barlow in Sheffield next Wednesday (I think). I am so looking forward to it. Congratulation on picking up your gong yesterday Gazza :)

So onto my cards....these are my DT cards this week and I'm actually pleased with all three for a change. I still love working with Kanban  materials, the quality is wonderful.

Take care and have a good day whatever you may be up to :)
