The ''Bat-Street Boys!''

I am struggling with health issues and am not feeling  too well. I had already had the Paramedics her Saturday, and we thought things were ok. Things went downhill Monday and I was not very good. I wanted to cheer myself up, and somehow came up with the idea for this card - it made me giggle! These are all Lavinia Stamps and card. Tracy always names her designs, and so the 'bats' are called 'Flittermice.' I hope you also get a giggle or two from my card!

Re-Discovering 'New' Old Stuff!

The card above is from a set of dies I bought a year ago and have just 'found' them. After I got them I became unwell and was in and out of hospital a lot and never got around to using them. I stashed them away and just found them again! So they are old stuff, but also 'new'! I am not sure if the Northern Lights DSP is up the right way or not, as we don't see it here. Let me know if you think the DSP is up the right way! (or not...) I lightly brushed the die cut tress with some white ink to make it look more like the scene was kind of snowy. What is not really showing too well, is the light sprinkling of silver glitter over the card. I think it mostly collected in between the trees. 

I was in Bunnings Warehouse recently and found ''My People!'' I couldn't resist having my photo taken with them! 

The card above is made from the stamp set below. I love these cute characters! I hand drew the border because the card didn't look ''finished'' without it.               

I think I have posted this before, but if not it's a 'cat' tissue box I made. I used to make and sell them. This is the front view, and the other photo of it is a kind of side view.

This card below was another set I bought last year and have re-discovered! I am not happy how this card turned out and am still deciding on how to use the stamps in a ways I actually like.

Below is another ''lost and found'' stamp set from last year! I really like the style of writing.

I haven't been well again recently, and had the Paramedics her for a couple of hours yesterday. I'm slowly getting my health sorted and am just having some 'quiet' time crafting when I feel ok. I had an AI crisis yesterday and the Paramedics were able to give me the injection I needed. My brain is on another Planet at the moment, and I have brain fog, so I am very slow right now.    Anyway, thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Always remember to be your authentic self and shine bright each and every day!

 

Those Mice!!

Starmoth (the fairy) was sick and tired of those pesky mice nibbling on her lovely Fairy Cakes she had been making for the Lavinia Stamps Fairy Fest. She set a trap and caught Strawson one of the mice.  She had a plan... now, where were those CATS...?! (No mice were harmed in this story!) These are a few of the Midnight Coven range from Lavinia Stamps. They are so much fun to create with! I injured my right wrist recently and am slowly getting back to crafting.

Update!!

 They're 'wih courier for delivery'!!!

Half Way There!

 

I only got this far with the Boo Mobile. I ended up dealing with a 4 day migraine:-( I don't get them too often, and when I do they keep me off my feet for awhile. Plus I ran out of orange card stock. I only have a few scraps left. I haven't been able to get any more locally, so I will have to do a trip to the art shop to get more. I just bought some 'spinners' because the Boo mobile spins! I ended up buying some from Temu because they were a lot cheaper. The ones here in NZ were $27 for 6. Plus $8 postage. I got a much better deal on Temu. I bought several different sizes from Temu. I recently purchased a cloud stencil which will arrive in a few days, I hope. I want to use the stencil on the Boo Mobile card as a background and hopefully make the Boo Mobile look as if it is flying the clouds! So I can't finish the card until I have the orange card stock, and cloud stencil. I have a hospital appoint tomorrow and because the hospital is not close I will no doubt be gone most of the day:-( I'm hoping for a dry (not windy) sunny day! It's been sunny for ages (cold in the morning) and gorgeous blue skies. Fingers crossed it's not raining tomorrow! I will have to catch a bus, then a train, and then another bus. It's a long boring journey:-( My (new) Lavinia stamps are due any day! I have confirmation they are waiting to be delivered! Thanks for dropping in! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day! 

They're Here...!!

 

My Boo Mobile die set arrived this morning, 3 days ahead of the original ETA which was Monday 24th!! i was super excited to check them out and I wanted to play with them right away, however I needed to go to the supermarket:-(  By the time I got home I was in a lot of pain so I haven't tried the dies out yet, but will do tomorrow. The Mobile measure about 3 inches in height, and just a smidgen over 3 1/2 inches in width. I think there's 27 dies ranging from pumpkins, skulls, an eye, a pair of Bat wings a ghost and a pair of witches legs! This is just a quick note and I will be back tomorrow, fingers crossed! Thanks for dropping in! Have a SUNSHINE day! Always remember to be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

The Three Sisters!

I made this some years ago, out of a pair of pantyhose. I used hot 

glue to stick the hair and eyes on. I hot glued it to a silver hair clip so I can tie my hair up. I call them The Three Sisters! I added a bit of old lace under the faces, as well as a tiny bow in each lady's hair. These were fun to make and quick and easy!

 I had an email today saying my Boo Mobile die set is on it's way, and the ETA is Monday 24th. As well as that Lavinia Stamps will be releasing a new range of Halloween stamps in 2 days on the 20th. Think Witches, tombstones and oh-so-cute scarecrows! I've seen some samples Tracey has done and I love them all! Yes, I will be ordering them! there's also some sentiments to go with the Witches and Scarecrows. So lots of crafty goodness coming = no time for boring stuff like housework! I apologise about the different size fonts. I am still figuring out my Chromebook. Every so often (too often!) I hit a button and weird things happen. I will get it right one of these days! Bear with me!
