Evening all, hope you're all well and you haven't caught any nasty bugs in this chilly weather in the UK! Well, as you may have noticed I haven't been around much in the last couple of weeks...to be honest it's been a crazy fornight!
I've had two major meetings at work to organise - one with 75 delegates! I've also celebrated my lovely boyfriend's birthday and attended a funeral....plus I've been ill (complete with a lovely coldsore up my nose!!). Its been hectic to say the least! Yes, it sounds like a title for a movie! Yesterday my poor body finally gave up on me and I ended up spending the whole day on the sofa feeling really rough! Today I'm starting to feel a little better and therefore normal service has resumed!
Now I started writing this post about 40 minutes ago...and I can tell you that it's been an interesting 40 minutes! The Brownie I was cooking not only exploded over the oven, but also managed to get burnt, while remaining uncooked....why am I still not used to Joe's oven?? The wonderful chocolate brownie aroma has been replaced by burnt chocolate!! I also think I've discovered another coldsore on my lip and I found that my camera battery is dead and so needed to find another way to upload my card!!
Anyway, enough of my moans! I have a card to share with you....this is for three challenges...
The layout for this card comes from Sweet Sketch Wednesday...another lovely layout to play with. You'll notice that my bow is paper rather than ribbon....I'm at Joe's today and only have limited craft supplies so needed to get creative with my bow!
The colour scheme is inspired by two challenges - Bah! Humbug! are feeling blue this week because its their last challenge before Christmas and Allsorts have asked for monochrome cards...although it didn't have to be black and white...it could be any colour and white. Believe it or not these are blue and white papers, I've added a little stamped snowman and surrounded him with glitter glue snow.
Pop over to all the blogs to see some wonderful cards.
Right, I'm off...I need to try and clear the burnt chocolate smell and clean the oven!
Thanks for stopping by today,

Oh Wedgie, It sounds like you have had quit the the time the past few weeks. I hope you are feeling better soon. Not fun to have those coldsores...let alone in your nose. I hate that. I have been to a funeral and have been sick as well..I have had the experience of exploding brownies though...I think I will stay away from that one. Your card is really cute this week. What a cleaver idea to make your bow the way you did. I love that darling little snowman. Have a good week and get feeling better!

I meant to say that I "haven't" had the experience of exploding brownies.
ReplyDeleteOh Wedgie, you have had quite a time. Sounds like stamping has been some wonderful therapy though. Love your card!! Feel better and thanks for joining us at SSW.

Wedgie, it sounds like you have had a very difficult time lately! Hang in there! Things have to get better. Your snowman is really cute! I love the silver paper....it always gives that cold feeling. Thanks for joining us at SSW!
ReplyDeleteWell Wedgie, it's one of those weeks for you. Hope your feeling better soon nothing worse than a cold in the winter or summer for that matter. Here I am in this hot sunshine 28 degrees C here on Saturday and still spring. I was out in the middle of it, umpiring a cricket game. I got a little sunburnt on my legs and nose.
ReplyDeleteLove your card this week that snowman is so cute and your papers are really pretty with it especially the silver paper. Take care and hope your feeling better soon.
Thanks so much for joining us this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and good luck.
