Again you will notice there is definitely a hint of purple going on. But I like the effect the different shades of lilac and pink have created. I have also used more bling than normal for me but it works.

Emergency Crafters DT Card - Recipe
For this card I went for a simple design, I used Marianne Creatables for the central doily, I am particularly fond of the Anja Rose centrepiece.

Emergency Crafters DT card - Autumn Leaves
When I saw this image I fell in love with it because it reminded of my eldest daughter, just after she'd started nursery. This was about 16 years ago, so I shall continue to completely embarrass her here: we were walking home past a house with a very old oak tree at the end of it's drive, she shot back to me clutching something in her hand and shrieked "Look mummy I found an apricorn!"
Well as you can guess I had to use this image.
I mounted some autumnal shaded paper onto a card blank, coloured the image with promarkers and use nesting dies to cut it out. I then mounted this onto the card and finished with a ribbon and bow.

DT Card - Somewhere over the Rainbow
For this card I used freebies!!!
The backing paper was free with a magazine years ago and the topper was free earlier in the year. I used promarkers to colour the image, rounded the corners and mounted onto mirri card with the corners also rounded.
I then mounted the backing paper onto an A6 card blank and added the topper.
Simple yet effective and free!!!!

DT Card - White and one other colour
I have been trying out some styles of wedding stationery with a view to adding this into my crafty portfolio, for this challenge I decided to use one of the samples I made.
I used Centura Pearl Snow White card for the main card area and the embossed area, I mounted some purple card (most of you who know me know purple is very close to my heart). I then stamped the text in Versacolour BoysenBerry (?qy sp?) and then clear embossed over the top to give it a shimmer.
The birdcages are from cake wraps that I cut the borders off. I have plans for making this much easier to so in the future.
I hopr you like it and feel inspired to join us at Emergency Crafters, see the button on your left!

The end of a most trying week
So far this year has been full of ups and downs of mammoth proportions. Andrew was invited to the Royal Garden Party in May, massive high, sadly his grandad died the day we got back, massive low.
We muddled through and had got back to some semblance of order and I had got back to work.
I got us tickets to celebrate the Paralympic flame at Beamish on Friday evening, saw a young man who had been an Olympic torch bearer, massive high point.
Sadly this had been marred by the news earlier in the week that my post is to be "disestablished" and therefore I would be placed into redeployment with the prospect of redundancy, massive low blow.
I still had my stall at a music festival to look forward to. So Saturday morning began with the forecasted overcast drizzly weather, but being stout northern folk off we set. we got the stall set up under the cover stand area, just unloaded everything and taken my pics to tweet and load on here when the rain really started to come down.
The organisers then moved us stall holders into the 2nd music stage tent, where at least it was dry and we could also enjoy the music. This was great news, apart from by 3pm and after hearing 3 bands and seeing about 15 people (most of which were stall holders and other band members) we packed up to come home with not a single sale to show for it.
This was my final low blow.
