And again

Well suffered yet another knock back today and feel so low, don't think my self esteem can stand anymore so going to give it all up for awhile,

On a positive note have had a lovely few hours at a local show which was much larger than expected and have a fun day planned for tomorrow with my darling boys and hubby.

Emma Canning - Flat Friends digital stamps paper piecing

Well last night I started off designing a calendar for next year in CAP but then remembered i had bought some Emma canning digi stamps so started playing around with paper piecing which I am loving. (I'm probably doing it the hard way though)

Well below are my results and then a card I've made too

Trying to add a link for a blog comp

Well today things aren't going so well I only wanted to add a link on a post to enter it into a blog comp and managed to delete the whole post, so frustrating.

So I'm trying again here and lets hope it works this time.

Waste of time

Well I've just spent an hour designing this card for the tag challenge on polka doodles but having just seen some of the other entries not sure I will bother don't think my work is good enough yet.

Oh how I wish I had confidence in myself I wouldn't fret so much then and umm and ah over entering comps

A new skill learnt today

Last night when I couldn't sleep I started to read a blog by truly tango in which a technique for making a mask in craft artist.

Anyway I managed to grab half an hour away from the boys and try it out.

Below are the results

New baby card

Well last night an ex work colleague who has seen some of my card samples on my fb page approached me to do her a new baby card.

Well it got me thinking, and sometimes I'm of the opinion that less is more and the choice of card stock can make or break the card.

So with this in mind I set about creating a cutting file for my cougar and cut the design out using some spotty white embossed card and some pink pearlescent card, below is the result.

What do you think ?
