1 for the boys!

Hi Everyone, isn't it a beautiful day? Well it is here in the North!

It's taken me all day to post this Kanban card I made a few days ago lol! I am so tired.

My friend took me to Metro Arena last night. Thin Lizy were on first then Guns n Roses. GNR didn't come on until 10.35 they did a 3 hour show so it was 2.30 when I got home. 

We weren't allowed anything in a plastic bottle & apparently no one was allowed in who looked like Slash! On Axles orders!! 

It was a brilliant show and Axle did excellent considering he had a fractured shoulder. 

I wonder how long he was in Newcastle A&E? Well he is a Diva lol! 

Anyhow enough waffle from me!

I made a 8x8 gatefold card using Kanban topper & backing paper from Gentlemen's adventures.

Who are you Inspired by....

Hi everyone, it's an awful day here up north just the kid of day to craft!

Over on Cards Galore the challenge is who are you inspired by.

Blimey that got me thinking. I have been inspired by so many crafter's I couldn't mention them all.

My first love was the Glitter Girls. I have loads of boards but don't use them as often since I discovers Spellbinders. I love the shapes and my Grand Calibur.

I am especially inspired by Chloe from Stamps By Chloe.

Chloe designs her own stamps & A5 Texture plate.

I have the pleasure of making cards for Chloe's Create & Craft shows.

I love Kanban. Linnie's gorgeous designs from Whoopsi daisy designs. 

Although I have often bought stamps it's Chloe who has given me the confidence to use them.
