I’m hosting an ATC swap and just did mine (they were due by the end of the month, so only one day late, lol – early for me!) so here they are. I’m not over impressed and really didn’t colour them well, at all. This was the second batch, too – I binned the first lot. WAY too lot and a long time since I stamped – amazing how you lose that ability to know what to put where when, if you don’t keep it up.

U2 by phone…

Had a great evening. My son – the little one (family joke cos he’s the tall one, really but younger) was in Barcelona to see U2 and he was so excited, he kept sending me texts while waiting outside the stadium, then when inside. Just before Snow Patrol came on stage he sent me a last text to say be ready to get the phone because he wouldn’t say anything. Then at 10.00, he rang and left his phone on, so I could hear the first four songs! Wonderful – sadly, he cut me off because he was afraid of dropping his phone but I’ll forgive him. Just hope he got back to the hotel safely cos he rang me later and the police shut the Tube station while he was speaking to me, leaving them a few miles from their hotel and not sure where they were! Have to remember he’s a big boy, now…. Not long till August and the Sheffield Concert!

Pop up Accordion card for Stamp Club

Wow, it’s a long time since I posted. I finally stamped and it’s good to be able to stamp again, but it’s HOT!!! Unfortunately, my stamping room is south facing, as is this computer room, so I’m really struggling at the moment. I’ve done 3 samples for Saturday’s Stamp Club but have already ripped the front off one, so I won’t show you that one, lol.

You can see I’ve made one or two very slight additions here.

This is what they look like from the top, although some are very slightly different – just the positioning of the pop-ins and pop-outs.

These also fit in with the ‘Go Make Something’ challenge for this week.

These two look so similar because I gave up on the first one (the one above) then decided I could make it work if I changed the way the popouts worked. Duh!

I liked the inside but couldn’t get it to work the way I was originally going to do it. So, I made the other one – the first one. That’s the one I’ve ripped the cover off to redo, so I’ll post the cover later. More to do yet, but not tonight…

Lots of cards

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting together cards from images I stamped over a period of time. Some are very simple and basic, others have a little more work in them, but at least I’m able to send some birthday cards for a change! Hopefully, I’ll be able to stamp again, soon…
