Tickets.... Grrr!

Friday, 15 February 2013

Good morning!

I've just spent almost an hour trying to get tickets to see the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly. I thought I was doing well to start with as I got onto the site, got my tickets selected and entered my payment details. And then... CRASH! The flippin site went down! And then it was impossible to get back on it, even to find out if my purchase went through. So after 45 minutes of refreshing the page with one hand and re-dialling with the other I finally got onto the page and got tickets booked for another night. So at least I know I'm going now, maybe even twice!

On another note, I've been in total shock about Oscar Pistorius. You may have noticed that I have pictures of him in my side-bar as I've been a fan for a long time. I just hope that the right result comes from this terrible incident. There are just so many questions.

Anyway, it's time for another challenge at the Alphabet Challenge Blog and the challenge for the next fortnight, which was chosen by our lovely Jan, is...

A for Anything With Wings!

So back at the start of the alphabet with a fab challenge!

Here's what I did:

The image is Daisy Butterfly by Whimsy Stamps and I coloured it with the following Copics: E55,53,51,40,39,37,35,YR24,23,21,16,14,RV34,32,10. I then used Glamour dust around the edges of the butterfly. I used the out of the box technique to cut out the image with a Spellbinder die and I twirled some wire to add to the top of the wings. Lot's of Swarovski crystals to bling it up!

The papers I have used are MME Indie Chic. I used Grand Nestibilities - Grand Labels 23 for the card base and Fancy Framed Tags 1 for the sentiment. The sentiment is a Waltzing Mouse stamp from the Fancy Phrases set. And I couldn't resist a few more Swarovski's and pearls! I didn't take a pic of the inside as it is quite plain.

So pop over to the Alphabet Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the DT did.

Hi everyone!

I've still got a few remnants of the flu hanging around but thankfully I'm feeling a bit better, hopefully it won't take long to kick the rest of it away!

Not a lot else to report so I suppose no news is good news!

We do have another new challenge to start today at the Alphabet Challenge Blog. The challenge, chosen by the lovely Mari is...

Z for Zig Zags!

Now, as it turns out, the card I made for our last challenge would've fitted this one nicely too, so I unconsciously decided to stick to the general theme of it and made a remarkably similar card! (remember I have the flu so the old brain hasn't been working the best! That's also my excuse for my dodgy photos, I wasn't actually drunk when I took them!)
Here's my card:

Similar papers and a similar layout but I quite liked the first one, so I suppose why not do it again! lol!
The image is Sunny Patch by Whimsy Stamps which I coloured with the following promarkers: Magenta, Carmine, Cerise, Leaf green, Meadow green, Sunkissed pink, Oatmeal & Blush.

The papers are again from Pink Petticoat and the sentiment is also a digi from Tiddly Inks (was possibly a freebie?) The dies are a mixture of Cheery Lynn Designs, Cuttlebug and Spellbinders.
The ricrac and the butterfly are from my stash and I used a white gel pen to doodle the dots around the pink layers and filled the heart with glamour dust.
