Finally! It has taken me more than 2 hours to upload this photo. My upload button has disappeared! I know I am guilty of severe blog neglect, but I didn't think that blogger could be that vindictive. In case you too are suffering, I uploaded to Flickr, pinned to Pinterest then copied & pasted into Blogger. Phew.

Edit 05/01/13: A better way is to switch from compose to html mode & upload the photos, then return to compose

Anyways. If there is still anyone out there who reads this blog, how are ya? The last month seems to have been swept away on a tide of white wine & elderly relatives. I haven't crafted for AGES, despite at last having a room all to myself. I hesitate to call it a craft room yet, because it still seems to be something of a dumping ground for other vagrant items from my household. However, it does contain all my craft stuff & it does have a door, which is more than can be said for my bedroom at the moment. I have a curtain for a door & cardboard for curtains.

Enough!  You didn't come here for a load of domestic blether & madwoman rantings (I hope...). This card uses some cute stickers from PaperChase, with digitally created speech bubbles.  The stamp is one I bought a while ago, but had yet to use.  The card base is 5" square, to allow for space around the main image.  As the stickers & the stamp qualify as NEW toys, I'm entering this into CASology this week, as well as CAS-ual Fridays.

Owl card

Sticker: Accessorize

Branch: Silhouette store

Sentiment: Worstveld Sling Extra

Card base 9.9cm square, white linen (Paper Mill Direct)

Not much to say about this one really - does exactly as it says on the tin.  The sentiment is computer generated, matted on to a scrap of aqua card that matched the owl, & mounted on foam pads.  The idea was that it should look as if it were hanging from the branch.  Not sure that works really... 

Things were looking a little bare, so I punched out some tiny stars & that has improved it.  Not one of my best efforts, but not the worst by far!
