and what caught my eye this week...this gorgeous card from Ctprezzia ....another of the Fab 5 winners.....just love that funky sewing machine....a Hero Arts Digital Image....I need to hunt this one down
and the bad news....I had a little trip yesterday morning.....no not out to my favourite craft shop unfortunately....but over a tree root on our morning stroll...put my hands out to save myself as you do...oh my giddy aunt I thought I'd broken my wrist....but it turns out it's just badly staved...so I am still managing to craft a little bit but not exactly firing on all cylinders and with so much to do. Sod's law springs to mind....but hey I could have ended up in the plaster and that would have been a disaster.....so to finish off a little sneaky peek....and this card took me the whole day to make....so the production line has slowed down considerably.....
Well it's time for our morning stroll and yes I will be keeping my eyes wide open for more of those pesky roots....catch up with all tomorrow over at Penny Black Saturday....oh boy do we have a big surprise for you all ...lots of fun and gorgeous prizes up for grabs....so be sure to pop over and join in the fun.
Hugs Kath

Edited to add: to answer Carol's question....I used to buy my HA's from The Glitter Pot but I now get them from Simply Create....Jacqui can order anything that perhaps she doesn't have in stock....but you can shop online at the Hero Arts website...unfortunately not a huge choice but watch this space because they are working on rolling out the same idea as they have in the US.....order your products online and they will be delivered to your local retailer....who has to sign up to join the scheme....how fabulous would that be.

COngratulations Kath on your win with your fab card. Sorry to hear you've had a tumble...but as you say it could have been worse. Use crafters are tough and it takes a lot to keep us out of our 'cubby holes'.

Well deserved win with your fab card Kath - hope the wrist isn't giving you too much grief - take it easy if it is!!! I had quite a bad fall the other week whilst sorting out my craft space - the bruises are just about gone now thank heavens but it's a shock to the system isn't it!

wow that's a fab prize and so well deserved - the card is just the bizz. I can see why you love the other card you've featured - it's lovely - I'm off to check out her other work
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win Kath!!! Great prize. Which wrist did you hurt? Is it the one you write with? It's hard enough to deal with just the injury, but it's so much worse if it's your 'handed-ness' one. Or how ever you say that! I hope you heal quickly. TFS
ReplyDeletePS where do you get the ribbon that looks like a tape measure? I see it a lot but don't know where to find it. Thanks
congrats kath, your card is stunning.i hope your wrist heals quickly.take care.luv coops.xx
ReplyDeleteHi Kath oh i'm so sorry to hear about your fall. I hope your wrist will heal soon. I left an award for you on my blog. I hope it will make you feel better. Congrats with your pirce at Hero Arts they have so much yummy stuff. Hugs Marja
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh hun i hope your ok.
ReplyDeletebig congrats on your prize you deserve it huni have a lovely spending spree and i hope you are felling better soon xx
Just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Buddy for the enthusiastic kisses, I don't have that effect on anyone anymore, and his paw and hug meant and means a lot (how sad am I)?
ReplyDeleteThe cards are gorgeous Kath so many thanks to you too, hope your wrist is getting better, loads of kisses for Buddy (parcel in the post for Buddy) and a healing hug for you and your wrist x
Congrats on your win Kath. Not really a surprise to your devoted followers. We all know your cards are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a disaster about your wrist. I suppose it could have been worse but it will still be sore and make it awkward for you to work. Not sure if Buddy would have been much help if you had broken anything! My Lab walks without a lead but I have to put a lead on Catriona's dog. On Tuesday night I suddenly realise that it could be nasty if I caught my foot on the rough ground!!
Kat xx
No wonder you're over the moon! And well deserved too! Hope that the wrist in better ASAP! Tell Buddy that he needs to watch out for you a bit more and not be so distracted by Miss Ruby!
