Get Funky Challange

This is a card for the get Funky challange... Autumn Woodland. I have never done a challange before  & not sure how to go about it... don't think I've got very long to submit but even so I enjoyed making this card.The background is printed onto acetate  it's from Funky seasons Cd the leeves are stamped  & embossed onto paper printed from the V Funky CD, the sentiment is from Ilusive Images, natures peace theme plate .Over to the Get Funky site to see what I have to do.
 Love n' hugs

To brighten the day


My Mojo's gone!!!!.. so changed the background put an old card (not a card yet actually). on the blog in the hopes that  some inspiration might follow... I have so many cards to do!... Christmas cards not started yet, birthday cards half done,.. boo hoo Christmas shopping not started yet! boo hoo again. Normally by now I'm well on my way with lists coming out of my ears & gifts hidden away... wrapped & everthing!... No lists , no plans
 no NOTHIN !! boo hoo hoo. 
Maybe its because I have no work/time pressures any more & I've become lazy! lol

 Not really feeling sorry for my self  just need to get me finger out!

 Love n' hugs

Sad home coming


A bereavemnt card for Desi & husband Paul. Pauls dad died the day before Desi & I flew home from France.
 The inside reads:
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight

It is an excerpt from the poem " Do not stand at my grave & weep " that Chris from Craftlings Cosy Corner recently reminded me of .

 Thinking of you with love . Sue xx

Becky's Birthday

Artilylicious Decadent Brocade Cd to the rescue ... again! I also used Elusive Images large flowers stamp. If you think the flower looks a bit odd well it is & it isn't... happy acicident! the first emboss didn't show up so I did it again over the top not exactly spot on but I thought it looked ok esp. as my printer had run out of blue ink. Needed a quick card for Joe to give to his daughter....     I seem to be in my "Blue Period" Although blue is Becky's favourite colour
. Well tomorrow I'm off to France... should be sorting out me wardrobe.. such a problem what to take! what will the weather be like. You know the drill :) last time I was there in May, just after a heat wave it rained every day except the day we arrived & the day we departed... so who knows whats going to happen in November!. Desi was so cold in May she had to borrow one of Bills big fisherman knit jumper!!... mind you she does feel the cold more than most.
Love to all
