to Neil and Alison and Katharine and Brett who are all get married today The sun is out, the sky is blue and the temperature is rising so let's hope it stay's this way :)
So my card today is a wedding card
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
How strange, my Kanban Thursday post from yesterday has disappeared! I scheduled it on Wednesday as I usually do and it was published at 9 o'clock yesterday morning........and now it's gone!
Oh well, I shall try again. I can't remember what the post was about so this one might be a bit short lol
Kathy came up with another brilliant sketch for this month on The Sketch File, which she has called Tickety Boo. Why? you may ask, well see for yourself :)
Why is it that I have only been back from Cornwall for 4 days yet not only do I feel knackered, it doesn't feel as though we've been away? It doesn't help with the rotten weather although we did manage to get out into the garden for the afternoon yesterday. I tidied and repotted and moved things all over the place and it looks nice now :) I need another couple of days so I can get on top of the weeding again but it doesn't look as though it might happen this week!! Oh well at least the house stays tidy :)
I'm in wedding stationery and DT sample mode today so can only give you a sneak peek before I blog my cards on my Kanban Thursday.
It's my turn to host the Get Funky! challenge this month and my challenge for you, as the title says, is that I would like you to use a large number on your project. I don't want to see images of any kind please but text is fine and here is my sample
I had a few Deepest Sympathy cards to make for one family last month and it's a task I sometimes struggle with. I don't suppose anyone really likes making sympathy cards but having to make seven different ones for the same family is quite difficult. Anyway, I managed it and I posted a couple of them last month so I thought I would upload the rest of them as I'm sick of seeing them on my desk top lol I can now catalogue them.
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.
By the time you read this we will be on our way back from a fabulous week in sunny Cornwall. We have been really lucky with the weather as it has only rained once and that was on Friday night between the hours of 8 and about 6 the following morning. It has been cold and a bit windy but dry!
I forgot to pick up the 'recipe' for my cards so I will edit this post when I get home and add the finer details.
It's not really, well not yet anyway. I decided when I got up this morning that I would grab a cup of coffee and a quick half hour to update my blog before I start work, well I have been at it for an hour and a half so far. This will be my last post for today though as I'm being beckoned by weddings :)
I've just got a few more cards I've made for hubby over the last few days.
Still backwards scheduling :) This time it's a bunch of wedding cards I made for hubby to take to work as he had run out. I know I say it after every cd release but I absolutely love this one and projects can be made so quickly if you need anything last minute as you can make a complete topper on screen and just print it off. Of course if you like matting and layering pretty papers then it's right up your street too :)
I have added an album to my Party Nights Creations Facebook page where all my Funky Hand work will be posted, I'd love it if you could take time to have a look and if you like what you see then please like my page, thank you.
I know a lot of people schedule cards when they're busy but I'm scheduling backwards today!! The foll,owing cards were good to go last weekend and I completely forgot to upload them! I've got two wedding orders to finish before I go away so that's why my posts are scarce a bit this week. I'm making my cards tomorrow for the next two weeks so I will make sure I schedule them all tomorrow (ha, watch this space :))
Anyway, here goes
It has stopped raining, hooray! The sky is still a horrible shade of grey though and the heating is on....so much for flaming June!!
The following card was commissioned from a friend of a friend for her granddaughter's birthday next month.
Can't live with it, can't live without it....I'm talking about the blooming internet. I have loads to do at the moment and what happens? Our blooming internet died on me yesterday lunch time. Hubby tried ringing them when he got in to find out if there was a problem and finally after 4 hours he got a person on the end of the phone. He went through all the technical stuff, you know, "switch the router off and back on again, has that worked mate?" then after 15 minutes he concludes that there isn't a fault at their end and he needs to get an engineer out to us but the earliest he can come is Saturday at 12 noon!!!! Late yesterday evening I texted my daughter to ask her to put a note on my Facebook page only to find out that their internet is off as is half of their street.....but there isn't a fault registered. Anyway, we got up this morning and miraculously, it had come back on. It has dropped out a few times today but not for long.
So onto my Funky Friday card :) Did you see the zingy free paper Anice made for this month's challenge? Well although I didn't use it on my Get Funky! cards (I thought it was a bit too funky for my dad lol) I decided to use it on my card for today.
'Tis that time again peeps and I just have to let you know that I am still really enjoying working with the Kanban goodies, the quality is just amazing!
Hello people, I hope you're all ok and have shared the lovely sunshine we have had in South Yorkshire today.
It's the turn of our wonderful leader, Anice to set the challenge of the month over on the Get Funky! blog this month and she has provided us with a brilliant sketch. You can flip it or do anything with it as long as we can still see the sketch and your project doesn't just have to be a card if you don't want it to be. So here is the sketch
Well that's another week come and gone which means it's Funky Friday again and this week it ties in with the new challenge on Funky Hand blog.
It's Anice's turn to host the challenge this month and she has given us a fabulous sketch!
