Back to Uni

Well I havn't posted on here in few days. This is mainly because I've started back at Uni and trying to get everything ready as this is my final few months before I graduate. I really want to do well so have to cut back on the card making a little. I did get a 75% grade for my film script which i think works out at a top end B possible A so I'm very happy about that.

Had a lecture on being prepared for the final months so I'm going to get started now. I always leave everything to the last minute and sometimes it's a bit annoying! Hopefully I may get to make the occasional card. :)

Bye for now

Sketch #2

Before I head to work I've created challenge number 2. This focuses more on the image as being the main part of the card.

Have a go and see what you come up with!

P.S. Just thought of an added extra while the sketch was uoloading.. momocromatic. I have some paper I should use up. Don't worry if you dont have any.. your card can be any colours!

Becky's Challenge

Becky set a challenge over at her blog to use only freebies from magazines. I decided to join in because I've only even bought two magazines (shock horror!) so I thought it would be a good challenge. I must say my card is rather plain, as I could have made a Christmas card but don't really feel like making christmas cards in January... maybe February LOL. :) I'll probably add a sentiment now teh challenge is complete. It could maake a nice card with a wee sentiment added.

I'm off to have some dinner before I head to work.

Blogging Is Addictive (Plus New Card)

This blogging lark is so addictive. I keep looking through everyones and don't get much done. I've opted to take up Becky's challenge of using only items from magazines. It will be especially interesting since I have only ever bought two magazines and one was a christmas one haha.

Have made another card tonight with more coredinations card stock. I love how you can sand it! Used some remains of basic grey paper. I'd love to buy some more but I find it on the expensive side! Enjoying a cup of tea then headng off to bed.

Night everyone

I've Been Tagged!!

Look, I've been tagged!

Basically you have to go tino your pictures and choose the 6th folder, then the 6th picture and explain a bit about it.

My picture is a photo of a stained glass window, as you can see. The window belongs to a Wetherspoons pub called the West Kirk which has been converted from an old disused church. They have kept a lot of features inside and this is one of them. I like the windows, I think they look quite pretty.

So.. now it's my turn to tag six people. Lets see..

Enjoy!

I went to see my friend today for the last time before she returns to Australia. It was quite sad really. I saw her last week for the first time in 4 1/2 years so it was really strange even though we'd spoken via msn etc. So today was the last time I would see her before she flies all the way home. We had a nice coffee and scone and a last wee chat, but somehow it's just now the same!

Off to have dinner now!

Productive Evening

I feel I've had quite a productive evening as I made another two cards. I used my new cardstock and papers which I bought today (i did say I was going to treat myself) The cardstock is this new coredinations... you can sand it which is pretty cool and if you rip it you don't get a white bit you get whatever colour the paper is.. eg blue! I'm making it sound complicated however if anyone bought the DC Creativity magazine there was a free sample on the back!

Anyway, I enjoyed making these cards as I feel my cards are always pretty boring.. so it was nice to buy some new stuff and have a go at sanding paper! The paper is from the Laura Ashley Contemporary collection and there's some pretty papers in there!

Hope you all like the cards! Any comments welcome :)
