MIA and Faux Silk

Sorry - yes it is true there is a lot of dust settled in here .... been MIA for over a week .... where have I been?  Nowhere special ... just here .... but now that Paul is away it is taking some time to adjust to the new routine - oh and I've broken the washing machine so I have washer woman duties to add to my list of tasks ... but it will be fixed soon!


I've managed to make a few things (in between the normal day job, being a mum and now a stand in dad ... I even cut the grass this week, pruned the roses and helped my neighbour by mowing her nature strip too) .... so posting will return to the usual frequency I promise ....  I am sure that I will soon get into the new routines and be back to normal :)


So what have I made?  Well an old and trusted technique - a real workshop wow ... Faux Silk.  The lovely Sue Madex reminded me of this lovely card and here is my version.

With Sale-a-bration almost over I am giving my favourite stamp set Bliss a good work out this week.

Here's a close up - its so easy ... just stamp your images onto white tissue paper, screw it up into a ball, unravel and adhere to a piece of white cardstock. Easy and looks good every time.


Back in a day or two with a special person's birthday card, and a team blog hop on Saturday.  But for now I will leave you with a snapshot of our daily chats on Skype .... that's my husband who is currently in Orchard Hills in New South Wales on the big screen and the kids and I huddled around the computer in our kitchen on the little insert screen - its so cool being able to Skype, means even the dogs get to say hi every day :)

Oh Lordy Lordy

Blogger, Typepad and file splitters .... goodness gracious me .... still no posts or pictures ... but I'll get there.

Thought I'd just carry on though as if nothing has happened .... just pretend that all is okay :)


So here is Paul's Valentine's day card - a little late in showing you but it was already made and written well before the date.  It's one of the new Sale-a-bration sets Bliss - isn't it lovely.  Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake, perfect combination.

I hope you had a lovely Valentine's day and shared it with the ones you love.
