7: I used to be a psychiatric nurse for my sins...and it definatly shows. Mick my DH thinks i'm "off my head" as he says lol
8: I'm tee total, it would be practically suicide with all the meds i'm on!
9: My absolute dream is to be a card designer, Doing what i love for a living!
10: I love playing practical jokes, i'm extremly mischevious and laugh at everything and anything, not always a good thing as it can get me into trouble.
Right thats it i think i'm not very complicated nor boring!! Sorry if i've bored you into a coma, now it's safe to wake up now!

Evening everyone (although beginning to think noone visits my blog:( ) I am sooo unwell right now, no idea whats wrong ....well it could be a couple of things but hell i feel rough! I've had a splitting headache for 4 days, a really high temp, then uncontrollable shivers, i do have a dodgy tooth thats a wee bit sore so not sure if it's that but if it is it must be one hell of an abcess as it's not doing the normal throb it's constant and i've never felt this ill with one before! Trouble is i'm having to take different painkillers as my usual aren't working but this means as i'm not taking my regulars my Fibro is really kicking up! Ah well enough whinging and whining. I have in between dozes etc managed to make a card for the stamp with Stampavie challenge. I really enjoyed this wks sketch and i'm pleased with the results too. I used Fall standing Tilda which i watercoloured, Papermania papers (although the pic is awful) Some flat backed pearls, clear gems, dream stamp, flourish and stickles. I'm going to edit the pic in the morning as this one is terrible. Once again if anyone does ever visit my apparent barron blog please leave a comment, constructive critisism is always welcome, Hugs, Tash xxx

Ok last one....well for tonight lol, i used a Mary Hughes Stamp for this christening card. Some blue Bazzill card, DCWV backing paper, Blue satin ribbon and blue gems.

I also want to say a massive thanks to the paople who left me comments it's lovely to hear some feedback and to see that i'm actually doing something right lol, Tash xxxx

Next is a bookatrix for a wedding, i really enjoyed this, in fact i always enjoy making them. The theme for the wedding was cream and gold and the invites had wedding rings on so this image was perfect. I've used peel off corners and borders, antique gold organza ribbon, gold and cream pearl card and the paper is actually wrapping paper from clintons, it has glitter around the swirls and is gorgeous! Hope you like it.

This one is a 3d image, i love using this sheet it's sassy. i've finished it off with gold glitter paper, black organza ribbon and bow and some clear gems.

Sorry for not bieng around for a few days i've been so busy with orders! Before 12 o' clock hit today i had 6 orders all for monday and tuesday so it's been frantic here! I've done quite a few this wk and wanted to share some with you, this first one is for a new addition in the village i can't get enough of my Tilda stamps, so i used Baby Edwin this time, An oval frame, a nappy embellishment, peel offs which i rarely use, i tend to use borders & corners more for Bookatrix's but thats about it. The paper believe it or not is wallpaper, i love the softness of it, just had to use it!

This second one is for this weeks http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/ challenge it was all about touchy feely, i really enjoyed this one not just because i got to use Tilda! But because it was a challenge, i've watercoloured the image, used American Craft paper which i love, nesties, Clear gems, Handmade paper with glitter going through it, Swiss dots embossed card, Brads, flowers, a tag from K&Co and pink velvet ribbon, i'm really pleased with it there's plenty af touchy felly bits on it, but apologies for the rubbish piccie!! I am still learning after all lol.Tash xxx
