She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive.

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> The old man </span><span style="background-color: white;">placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink . He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them ,... As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering. Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor </span><span style="background-color: white;">old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.’</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything..' Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span></div>

<br />
Long time no hear I know. I have been such a bad blogger lately but I am hopefully more settled now and hope to get back into the swing of things. <br />
<br />
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend and that the Easter Bunny came to visit you.<br />
<br />
Something I always try to keep up with is my making cards ready for Christmas and I usually join in with <a href="http://scrapsoflifebyscrappymo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/march-rudolph-days-challenge.html">Mo's Rudolph Day</a>. There is still time and so I am sneaking this one in. I had started to make it before Christmas but didn't finish it due to circumstances so I am sharing it now....<br />

I was making it for the <a href="http://thefunkiejunkie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/challenge-12-tags-of-christmas-funkie_19.html">Funkie Junkie Challenge</a> but missed it. There are so many <a href="http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/pixies-snippets-playground-week-222.html">Snippets</a> in there too so I am taking it to the Playground. I hear Parsnip was dressed up as an Easter Bunny too and covered in choklit. I had better take the wet wipes!!<br />

To make the card I first of all stamped the background with versamark and my NBUS Stampendous poinsettia stamp and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder. I die cut some card snippets with my TH die, inked the edge with versamark and again used gold embossing powder along the edges. I used some hessian ribbon across the card, stamped a "label" sentiment and tag before adding some snowflakes both wooden and paper.<br />

A peg to hold the label on and hey presto card was finished ready for sending.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">A dog lover, whose dog was a female and in heat, agreed to look after her neighbours' male dog while the neighbours were on holiday</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> She had a large house and believed that she could keep the two dogs apart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">However, as she was drifting off to sleep she heard awful howling and moaning sounds, rushed downstairs and found the dogs locked </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12.8px;">together in obvious pain and unable to disengage, as so frequently happens when dogs mate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Unable to separate them, and perplexed as to what to do next, although it was late, she called the vet, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> who answered in a very grumpy voice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">After she explained the problem to him, the vet said, "Hang up the phone and place it down alongside the dogs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> I will then call you back and the noise of the ringing will make the male lose his erection and he will be able to withdraw.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">"Do you think that will work?" she asked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">"It just worked for me,” he replied.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One year, I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Christmas gift...</span></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When she asked me why, I replied,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's how the fight started.....</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
______________________________<wbr></wbr>__</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?'</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'No,' she answered.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I then said,'Is that your final answer?'</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying,</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Yes..'</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's when the fight started...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I asked her, "Do you know him?"</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Yes", she sighed,</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then the fight started...</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She asked, "What's on TV?"</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I said, "Dust."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then the fight started...</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 165 in about 2 seconds."</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought her a bathroom scale.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then the fight started......</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The woman said,</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Unbutton your shirt'.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then the fight started...</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then the fight started........</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's how the fight started.<br />

Hope you enjoyed my funnies this morning. Off to share them with <a href="http://wipso-astitchintime.blogspot.co.uk/">Annie</a> over at Friday Smiles! Have a great weekend everyone!!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Just a quickie to share a card I made for friends of mine that got married recently. We were invited to the wedding, but unfortunately due to the MIL being poorly. We missed a fabulous day judging by the photographs we saw. So here is their card...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the nearest I could get to a white on white card. I just could not do it...needed some colour even if it was just gold.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I finally remembered to use my StickIt and die cut a new Spellbinders die as well as my SU flutterbies die. I added some VOS gold aurora spots that I bought from QVC back in the day. The stamp is one I always use and I used gold <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">fr<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">om Delicata. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This really is a beautiful ink and is worth tracking down if you are looki<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ng for a gold.</span></span></span></span></span> It took me a while to find it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I mounted this onto some gold holographic card before mounting it onto the card.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Friday everyone. I have a little change to my usual Friday Funny. I actually have two photos of yours truly going to bed!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last Friday I was sat at my sewing machine making the PJ bottoms that you see me wearing. As I sat there making them, I could not help but think of my Mum and all the happy times we were at quilting workshops, sewing days, lace days and was smiling the whole time. I emailed our dear friend Annie a picture of the fabric and told her I was smiling as I was making them and on finishing the PJs on Monday she insisted I shared photos of me wearing them today. So here I am toddling off up to bed with my Rupert and hot water bottle. Well it is cold right now!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Please do enlarge the photo to see the little characters on the fabric. I bought the fabric in Doughtys in Hereford, purely on a whim as I just knew it would make great PJs!! I didn't want a matching top so I bought the t-shirt from a store on a well known auction site!!</span></div>

Taking off down the Trans Canada, he floored it </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: start;">to 120 kph, enjoying </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: start;">the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
"I can get away from him - no problem!" thought the elderly nut case as he floored it to 130 kph, then 140, then 150 kph. Suddenly, he thought, "What on earth am I doing? I'm too old for this nonsense!", pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the Mountie to catch up with him.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Pulling in behind him, the officer walked up to the driver's side of the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The man, looking very seriously at the Mountie, said, "Years ago, my</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
wife ran off with an RCMP officer. I thought you were bringing her back."</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
"Have a good day, Sir," said the Mountie.</div>
</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello My Lovely Friends</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do hope you are all coping with this terrible weather we are having right now! I drove down to Cardiff today with my friend (needed to do a reccy on my new place of work - did I tell you I have a new job?, and we popped to Ikea too!!) and the car did have a few scary moments when the wind buffeted it. In the days when the old rear engined Skodas were the car of choice in our family, my MIL used to carry a bag of coal in the boot on days like this. I wished I had one in my boot today!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, enough chat, I know you wanna see what I have been up to recently!! This card wasn't done too recently, but it is one I have not shared before. Hope you like it...</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used my lully Penny Black poppy stamp, inked with Ranger Archival ink and then coloured in using my watercolour pencils. Then using my TH text stamp, I made a mask of the poppy and then stamped using DI and inked around the image before mounting it onto some red card. </span></div>

Hello there My Friends</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gosh where did January go then? I don't know about you but I have been pretty busy this month with one thing or another and to be quite honest, I am hoping that February and the rest of 2016 will be a bit kinder to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here we are at the end of January and I have two cards to share with you for the <a href="http://scrapsoflifebyscrappymo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/january-rudolph-days-challenge-and-meet.html">Rudolph Day</a> over at my friend Mo's blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is the first one...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYhp5iLHKvi0uGOQXh-5SwJUr8VjYKBMgUhzJ0Iws-opfkL386SRNOZs4YIIqPQsKRtE0t6TUAxbppBqyJxnfSjps3kmHjCbTs0Tjjy3NwBtrR3chTxxuDpQLYzx2Ch6ua5JitNDLmyY/s1600/P1030875.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYhp5iLHKvi0uGOQXh-5SwJUr8VjYKBMgUhzJ0Iws-opfkL386SRNOZs4YIIqPQsKRtE0t6TUAxbppBqyJxnfSjps3kmHjCbTs0Tjjy3NwBtrR3chTxxuDpQLYzx2Ch6ua5JitNDLmyY/s320/P1030875.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I stamped some <a href="http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/pixies-snippets-playground-week-214.html">Snippets </a>of red card with the bauble stamps and die cut them with my Spellbinders dies. More Snippets for the Memory Box ribbon and Penny Black sentiment, a little ribbon onto the background MME paper and a card was born.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGFvaquGNjgt70DFbZZbqRG5KklVif2bNytuHuyXDqi7wUV8cby2GhbL9GFD-yhcjc73K566_dLwT4gqTkRs542CU48S7knn1TgylCR0LciKchWrjhYsHl1jJyBh_UCv_lLouoHB00nHw/s1600/P1030877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGFvaquGNjgt70DFbZZbqRG5KklVif2bNytuHuyXDqi7wUV8cby2GhbL9GFD-yhcjc73K566_dLwT4gqTkRs542CU48S7knn1TgylCR0LciKchWrjhYsHl1jJyBh_UCv_lLouoHB00nHw/s320/P1030877.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And just for good measure, I made another card....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ttisZ3QN6u0-Xfru5N2qhgPOY7LP81CF2f7TrALhkEOI7G2dzPXOQHkC1LkyxBTnwzIu10JgZWaiTiiB87-uFcVV3qJFXQgGbuOXmzh4vMs4ea78xJ0a4omdLpJSPOiTsw0pTWADltM/s1600/P1030878.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ttisZ3QN6u0-Xfru5N2qhgPOY7LP81CF2f7TrALhkEOI7G2dzPXOQHkC1LkyxBTnwzIu10JgZWaiTiiB87-uFcVV3qJFXQgGbuOXmzh4vMs4ea78xJ0a4omdLpJSPOiTsw0pTWADltM/s320/P1030878.JPG" width="316" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again I used some Snippets including the glitter paper border down the side and the vellum. The lady was cut a long time ago when I was with my friend, and I will try and use the rest of them. It needed a little dolling up when I finished, so added some glossy accents and sprinkled MS glitter over. The vellum was left over from another card which I stamped the Stampenduous border stamp and embossed gold powder. No idea where the background music paper came from, I found it in my Snippets drawer when I was clearing it out. </div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Helloooooooooooo!!!!!!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">How are you doing my lovely friends!! As you may sense, I am feeling so much better this morning. Still have pain but it is getting a little easier to cope with and I feel a bit more like my usual self. Yesterday I had a very very VERY long soak in the bath and it seems to have done me the world of good. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Whilst I was in the bath, my Darling Hubby sneaked in my craft room and put the heaters on and told me to stay in there for an hour to have some "me" time. I have recently been catching up on some videos that I had saved to watch including one from Leandra of Paperartsy in which she shared how to make backgrounds with paint and brayers.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I don't know about you, but I have a bit of a fear of the old brayer on account of not having much luck with it. So, I took it by the horns, grabbed some paints and created a background page for a layout. I don't know whether it was my subconscious or what, but the colours seem to lend itself to adding the photos from the accident, which Hubby took on his mobile phone. We shall see. First thing was to let it dry.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So today I have come into my room, plonked my cuppa tea next to it, and thought I would share this page with you and Elizabeth for <a href="http://alteredbooklover.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/t-stands-for-los-reyes.html">Tea on Tuesday</a>. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here is a close up of my super cute mug which is pre-marriage and was bought for me by my much older sister. The tea of choice is Glengettie, which is a Welsh blend of tea...kind of a breakfast tea with a bit more oompf in it!!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gosh it has been a whole week since I last posted on here! Some of you will not know, but Hubby and I had a car accident last week, whereby we were "t-boned" by another car (hit directly on the passenger side). Unfortunately I was the passenger. We were both pretty shaken up and the car is an absolute right off. I had an unceremonious exit from the car through the tail gate as it was feared that I had spinal injuries. Fortunately I have sustained heavy bruising down my left side (legs, arm, wrist) a very nasty bruise on my right shoulder where Hubby hit me, and extremely painful bruising to my ribs. I never realised until this week how much my ribs were connected to everything else in my body and would hurt doing anything....I mean ANYthing!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So as you can imagine I have found it pretty hard to find much to smile about this week! However, I have come downstairs this morning, having spent most of the night coughing, which is not nice at all to find some beautiful flowers that my Dad has sent me,with a message in there that made me shed a tear. There was also a small package of a kind gift and card from two very special people.....</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello All</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As many of you may by now be aware, I recently lost my Mum and yesterday was her funeral. Whilst we, as a family, are mourning her loss, we have all been taking the time to look at old photographs and talk about Mum, with a lot of funny stories being shared once again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One such episode was in 2008 on the occasion of my Graduation. I shared a photo of Mum HERE, which was of Mum donning my mortar board. Now I should let you know that neither Mum or I like having our photos taken. But after the Graduation itself my Dad and Hubby walked to the car park to pick their cars up whilst Mum and I sat on a wall and waited for them. Then Mum asked:-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"What is a selfie?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"I will show you."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Ahhhhhh!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Want to see it? Course you do...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I discovered my Dad had not seen this photo until I shared my Graduation Album with him. It is one of his favourite photos now. Not bad for a photo of two people who hate having their picture taken!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have a hard day tomorrow so I thought I would share a little card I made towards the end of last year for a friend of mine who was getting married. .........</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I cut the top layer on my Silhouette before mounting it on the card base. I had lent some stamps to Dawn for her (or should I say Steve) to stamp some images onto their place cards. Dawn kindly gave me the stamp pads she used and so I knew the colours of her wedding which was the turquoise colour of the ribbon and background.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I decided the card needed some zing, so I spritzed it with Tattered Angels spray, thought the picture doesn't show the shimmer very well, possibly because it had not fully dried when I took the photo. I forgot to photograph the inside - doh!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dawn and Steve loved the card (phew) and had a wonderful wedding day.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I used my SU Blossom stamps which were punched with Archival Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder before painting them with Distress Inks and a water brush (Fossilised Amber and Abandoned Coral).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I then mounted this onto a Snippet of yellow before tying a bit of string with a TH die cut tag stamped. I used the same Archival ink to stamp the sentiment on the card and hey presto! a card was ready to be sent off.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I took two bits of cream cardstock out of my Snippets drawer...yep, cream and white card goes in a drawer!!!! I die cut them using a Sizzix die then taking my Stampin Up embossing folder that I was forced, yes forced to buy, and I ran one of the hearts through it, before layering them, punching holes with my faithful crop a dile and then stringing some Maya Road string round the card. My little stamp with WV Potting Soil before attaching this piece of card onto the card base.</span></div>

married good-looking lady, and after the wedding,
he laid down the following rules:<br />'I'll be home
when I want, if I want and at what time I want

expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner.
I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing, and
card-playing when I want with my old buddies,
and don't you give me a hard time about it. </span></span></span></span></div>

The white background is plain card which I punched on both edges with my EK Success punch and I added a strip of washi tape, which is actually pink, I could not resist adding a little teddy button to the bottom corner and instead of the little flowers that were included in the Silhouette cut I added some little heart embellies. I also added the little wooden pegs.</span></div>
