Tatty Teddy with Love

It's late here in Adelaide, hubby and the 3 grandchildren are fast asleep and I've sat up to make my card for tonight. Our son and DIL went to a music festival where they have quite a few bands going on different stages at the same time so we've had the kids since about  11 a.m. and as the concert went till late I offered for them to stay as they would have been already asleep. Poor Layla missed out making a card today as I was still deciding on what to make for Monday's DT card.- took me a while to get it done and photographed as the light was coming from the wrong angle.
Our youngest daughter thought it was funny that I had been doing teddy bear cards, so just for her I chose to do another one tonight!!!
Here it is.....

Little Teddy in bed Get Well Card

Wow, it's March!!! and that is exactly what time is doing at present! I had the two youngest grandchildren today and as usual Layla was quite keen to get her brother fed and off to bed just after lunch so she could sit down and make a card. I keep forgetting to take a photo but she chose a little teddy dressed as a magician. She chose one teddy and I gave her the whole sheet of plastic which has about 12 different teddy bears on it and by the time she left the craft room to go and sit at the little table she had changed her mind 3 times. I think I actually asked her if she wanted to do the magician in the first place!
Well I'm on a bit of a teddy bear kick too at the moment as this is my second card in a row with one on. Last night's card was a Christmas one and this one is a Get Well Card.
I've only done the front of the card so far as I've been busy tonight with a couple of DT images - got one card finished and have two more on the go!!!
Anyway, here is the card..... the card is a very pale blue and didn't scan that well. I distressed the edges of the image as well.

Recipe:
SU Bashful Blue cardstock from my scrap mountain
SU DP- stripey one (also a scrap so can't remember which pack it was out of)
Spotted DP is from My Mind's Eye
Image is from a Kanban clear set of stamps
Sentiment is from a boxed set by Hero Arts called Friendly Greeting
Copic markers
Black Memento inkpad
Punches - large oval and scalloped oval

Teddy Bear Christmas

Well it's the last day of February and it's been a bit cooler here today. A couple of our friends came down from the country and are staying with us overnight. The men went off to the Clipsal Car Race and us gals had a lazy morning at home and then a quick trip to the craft shop and picked up some lunch and afternoon tea and headed over to Jane's for a craft session. There were 5 of us today. We had a good time and then came back home for a short while and then out again to tea at the hotel. The guys were still in at the race track and decided to do their own thing food wise. My Mum, brother and 3 other friends met for tea at the hotel and we sat around afterwards for a while talking.
The guys rocked up here at home about 15 - 20 mins after us and we spent the rest of the evening talking and watching a bit of tv. It will be a very early morning tomorrow as our friends are going on a short holiday and have to catch an early flight.
So I will hurry up and get this post done and get some sleep or they will be up before I get to bed, LOL.

Here's the card......

Tweet Friendship -GL59 Gingerloft DT card

Another weekend over!!! Stayed home today and made a DT card and sorted through some boxes, got rid of some scrappy bits of paper and card that I've been holding on to for to long. The recycling bin gets emptied tomorrow so it was a good time to be filling it up. I even found a pattern for a beaded necklace (one using needle and thread) that I bought over a year ago and put somewhere then couldn't find it. It was still in a small pink paperbag so it was lucky that I thought to peek into it before throwing it out!
Anyway, I had better get on and share my card with you. Make sure you come back tomorrow to check out my DT card for Make It Monday. Unfortunately my DT card for Gingerloft clashes a bit with that one so have to do two posts close together.
This fortnight the challenge over at Gingerloft  is to use Ribbon and Bows

Here is my card:...

Kindness is never wasted

Watched some tv last night and ran out of time to make a card. Fridays, Layla our granddaughter is here with her brother and she loves making cards so I usually supervise and help her a little bit so I don't get any cardmaking done during the day either. She loves to sit up at my little table and colour her image and stick the card layers together. She must have a reasonable stash as we usually make two cards a week!!!
I had a bit of a sleep in this morning and then made sure I had my music pieces sorted for the performance we did this afternoon. We sang at a Rotary Club Peace Forum Meeting at the Adelaide Oval clubrooms. All new buildings. They pulled all the old stands down and have been doing a major refit of the oval. I've never been there before as I am not a huge cricket fan. I don't mind watching it occasionally. We then had some casual photos taken afterwards. We didn't wear our normal uniform but we had black trousers, black 3/4 sleeve top and a coloured satin scarf. We were able to choose the colour from about 4 or 5 colours and lucky for me they had my favourite, Purple!!! It was very hot today so wearing all that was a bit much, luckily we were in airconditioned areas and it's only about 5-10 mins from my home.
Hope you are either keeping warm or cool depending where you live and enjoying your weekend.
I decided to make a CAS card to share tonight - so have just gone with DP and some card and a sentiment and a bit of ribbon. Hope you like it. It could be used as a Thankyou card or an Encouragement card too.
