Anything Goes

Good morning, I hope you are having a lovely weekend and that the weather is being kind to you!

It's my turn (Jackie) to show you my challenge card today for Lou's chosen challenge of "Anything Goes". Lou set the challenge off with a stunning wordbook on 15th August and as the challenge doesn't close until 14th September there are still a few days to play along with us. We do have one stipulation when entering our challenge and that is that you must use a Funky Hand product. If you don't have any of Anice's fabulous papers (you don't know what you're missing ;)) then every month she comes up with a freebie paper for you.

All the papers on my card are from the new download,  Daisy Day (see below) including the flowers. My only additions were the ribbon which I pleated across the bottom of the green panel and I added gems to the middle of the small punched flowers. Daisy Day is available from the Funky Hand web site at the miniscule price of £3.49!!!

I hope you can take the time to join in our challenge and who knows, you might be the lucky winner of a free Funky Hand download including the new one.

Thanks for looking :)

Swedish Chef!!

Have you had a good day today? We have had glorious hot sunshine all day :) Hubby decided to cut the front and the back lawns and I had some DT samples to make so I took my stuff outside to work.

 The gloves were hubby's, he was cleaning the pond, just in case anyone thought they were mine for crafting lol

We decided to barbeque for tea and here is my little Swedish chef in his Grumpy Old Man apron. He used to wear my flowery one but it looked a bit daft on him....he's 6'3" and I'm 5'5" and I'll leave the image to your imagination :)) He's not actually Swedish either, he's from Somerset!

I have been trying to upload this post and two for tomorrow since about 5 o'clock and I just keep getting an error message from stupid Mr Blogger. Why can't he behave for more that a few weeks at a time...grrrrr!

Thanks for dropping by (assuming you get to read this post.)

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

Over The Hill!!

The sketch challenge over on Kathy's Waffle Sketch File went live on Tuesday of this week as it was the first Tuesday of the month.

For my card I used the freebie paper from Funky Hand (which was designed for the August challenge on the Get Funky! challenge blog). The 'Little Monsters' are from the Happy Happy Birthday cd which was designed by Anice and is for sale through the web site. I downloaded the coloured version of the monsters and gave their balloon a bit of a lift by applying Glossy Accents. The sentiment was computer generated and I finished the card with a few crystal gems.

I hope you like what your see, :)

Kanban Thursday

Hi everyone, well I'm now back from a fabulous two weeks in Zakynthos. Two weeks of wall to wall sunshine and temperatures of 35 during the day and 29 at 11 o'clock at night, of no house work and the only decision I had to make was what I wanted for my dinner at night! It now seems a millions years ago after I've caught up with the housework, the washing done and sorted out my 974 emails :). However, the ironing pile stares at me every time I go in the kitchen so that is this mornings task! 

My 'To Do' list is growing too with a pile of birthday and Christmas cards to make, restock the web site etc etc., oh and the accounts are calling too :) I'm going to make a start on my DT cards for next week too as I only made up until tomorrow before I went away as I ran out of time (the story of my life!).

So onto my Kanban cards for this week

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.

Tickety Boo!

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 :)

 and here is my card

The papers, including the letters and numbers are from a brand new download from Funky Hand which are not yet released (the joys of being on a fabulous DT :)) and the only extra I added this time was a piece of pink ribbon.


We hope you will join in with our challenge and we look forward to seeing your challenge.


Thanks for looking.

Manic Monday

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.

As always, these elements are absolutely stunning and they are all printed onto 300 gsm card stock which means they can be used outright as a card base and not just used for matting and layering.


I'd like to remind you that I'm the host for this month's Get Funky! challenge where my remit is to use large numbers as the focal point on your card/project but no images allowed, although you can use text. I hope you can find the time to join in with us this month and please make sure you hope over to the blog every couple of days as my DT mates add their inspirational projects. Anice has made us a fabulous freebie backing paper in case you don't own any Funky Hand  goodies, it can be found here


Kathy's Waffle Sketch File challenge is still running too. These sketches really help me out of a hole sometimes when Mr Mojo has gone walkies. All of the sketches, from when Kathy first started this blog, are available on the sidebar. It's great to be able to have a browse at times when you may need a little help :)


Thanks for dropping by and I will see you tomorrow (hopefully)
