Not doing Anything.....

Well my web buddie's this card said it all....not....The bungalow I put an offer on which was accepted is now off the market....The batty old lady who lives there wants to stay....and would not let the guy in to do the survey.....and I found out her daughter works for the estate agents and it had been on the market twice before.....
But sometimes fate has away of looking after you and the bungalow I fell in love with which was sold the day before I sold my house came back for sale as the chain got broken....so I hot footed over to Kesgrave and put in a offer which was accepted the same day.....I have never brought a place so quick...finger and toes crossed for me....


I made today's card for a very lovely friend of mine.....Stamped image Art Impressions as is the sentiment....coloured with Promarkers and cut out....Die-namics dies.....red card Papermill....papers First Edition....
Sorry Ive been hit and miss with my comments but will hop over the week-end....Thank you as always for yours....Joolsx

Two very quick cards....

Hello to my buddies and visitor's ....
Well...Looking for a new home is going ok....I need a bungalow...not a lot about and the prices are very silly here in Suffolk....after seeing 15...yes 15 ...which is good for me I looked at 29 before I brought my house I'm in....I think I have found a doer upper....Its not been touched since the 70s....by a small newish kitchen....I have put a offer in yesterday so I'm waiting for the estate agent to ring me back....

On to today's cards and I needed to make a few quick cards just to keep in touch with friends....I found the images and the papers in a old Creative Cardmaking Magazine.....when I was sorting out my craft room to start to pack up for the move.....I have cut them out and used a Spellbinders die on the images....card from  the bit box.....and a few gems.....

 Thank you for your comments Joolsx
