Totally Gorjuss 188 - For Dad.

Good morning everyone. Hope it's going to be another nice day, but you never know, do you? It's been a lot better this week than I thought it was going to be.

Edited to add - thanks for not posting this at 8am this morning Mr Blogger. I suppose 7.03pm is better late than never!!

This week at Totally Gorjuss our theme is "For Dad." This could be a Father's Day card or just a birthday card, it's up to you.

Here's what I made.

I used :-
Image and DP :- LOTV.
Colouring :- Promarkers.
Sentiment :- Stampin' Up! cut out with a Stampin' Up! punch matted on dark blue cut out with another Stampin' Up! punch.
Faux stitching :- black gel pen.

Challenges :-

Freshly Made Sketches


Oldie but a Goodie :- Stitching. I think my DP is older than 6 months old.
Addicted to Stamps and More :- Addicted to CAS.

I'm scheduling this as I never have enough time on a Saturday morning and since I've spent what seems like hours writing this post I'm going to quit while I'm ahead now!

I'm going to a crop after work so I'll try to catch up with you all later if my broadband connection allows me.

Thanks for looking and for the lovely comments you leave me.

Simply Poppies.

Hi everyone. Well I'm feeling quite pleased today as I managed to achieve a couple of things yesterday lol! At my crop I picked up the stitches round a v-neck slipover and finished the neck and then picked up stitches round one armhole and knitted a couple of rows. I've had this ready to finish for weeks now but the two things I hate doing are picking up stitches to do a neck and sewing up knitting so I've kept finding other things to do! I need the slipover in 2 weeks so I'd best get it finished. It's for a WRI show and I'm bad for being at the last minute so if I get it finished soon I'll be doing well!

Then in the evening after visiting my favourite blogs and catching up on what challenges are around I made a quick card. This is a similar idea to yesterday's DT card and was very quick to make. Regular readers may notice that this is one of my favourite images.

I used :-

Image :- Penny Black Poppies cut out with Nesties.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Sentiment :- Hero Arts.

Pearls from stash.

Challenges :-

Freshly Made Sketches :- Sketch.
Cute Card Thursday :- Simplify.
Crafty Cardmakers :- Blooming Images.

This afternoon I'm going to attempt to make a cushion, also for the show. This is one of 6 items for our co-operative table. I have no idea what possessed me to offer to make a cushion. I've never made a cushion in my life! I bought a pattern and I've cut it out. I had to go and buy some tartan to put round the edge so that's my excuse for not having any more done! I have a few other things to get done so I might show them on here when they're finished.................if they're fit to be seen that is!

Anyway thanks for looking and I love to read your comments. Means I'm not talking to myself if you tell me what you think lol! It also means I can visit you and see your lovely work.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend.
