Good Afternoon,
After having had a lovely evening with my boyfriend and a couple friends at home last night, I am currently relaxing on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. It's nice to get some time to do nothing every once in a while. And my nothing time this weekend has involved a nice evening with my boyfriend on Friday night, before a busy day preparing for a meal with friends and lots of fun games. So today, after spending the morning with my boyfriend, I decided I'd have another go at making on of my felt creatures. Here he is:
Isn't he cute? I'm not too sure about the dark brown thread, but I don't have any coffee coloured thread so it was the next best thing. I think his muzzle came out best. :)
While I'm here I'm going to show you all a card I made a couple of days ago. This is a thank you card.
This card was made using:
- Make & Create 5'x7' Cream card
- Papers and die cuts from Papercraft Inspiration Magazine Issue 111
- cArtus die (the larger matting for the front image).
Here's a closer look at the main image. I really like this card, its a little more detailed than my previous thank you note but still so simple. :)
Well that's my Sunday afternoon, I might take a nap or spend some time reading now. It's been a lovely weekend. :)
I'll talk to you all soon.

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are all well. It has been a few days since I have posted and that is because I have been a busy girl attending Poster Conferences at Uni and having meetings with Lecturers about Dissertation Opportunities.
For my post today I'm going to show you the card I have made for my Grandad, who is currently unwell. Here it is:
This card was made using:
- Make & Create 5'x7' White Card
- Bird Image and Get Well Soon sentiment from Birdscards .
- ColourPro Pencils, Brown, Yellow, Green, Blue.
- Paper Cellar Ltd, 6x6 Patterned Papers - Men 2.
I used the freebie image from Birdscards was the bird, because my Grandad loves birds and it seemed appropriate. I always struggle when it comes to working out what images to use for men and so I was happy when I finally found this lovely image that would work.
The patterned paper also fit very well as it gives a natural feel, like grass and mud, which fits in well with the bird image.
I liked the way this off centre positioning worked. I struggled to make this card fit together as I usually like to do 'perfectly' centered images (which I never manage lol). I really like this card and have sent it off to him. I hope he likes it too. :)
Right now for my Good day news. :P This morning was a very tense and anxious one, as I woke up at 6.30am and found myself unable to go back to sleep. I had to wait until dead on 9 am to get onto the University website, so I could try to get the supervisor that I wanted for my dissertation. I was so so worried that I would be the last person to click on him and I wouldn't manage to get him. So when at 9am I finally clicked on his name and got a 'SUCCESS' message, I couldn't believe it. I didn't believe it so much that I had to email the lecturer in charge to confirm. I got an email from my supervisor himself and I am so so happy that I got him. It means I will be able to do the topic that I want to do for my dissertation now. :P
On a side note, I picked up my last report for this year today and got myself a '65'...there's that 2:1 I've been struggling to obtain all year. :P Yay! It's been a fantastic day so far and I'm now begining to feel tired because I've used up so much energy with worrying. lol. I've spent a couple of hours relaxing, made another card...which I will post up at a later date, and now I'm going to try and do some more revision .
Oh and I also got onto a mentoring program with the charity I have been volunteering with since December. :P This has been a fantastic day. lol. :P Sorry for the large amount of text. I'll leave it there for now.
Take care. Talk to you all soon.
Sara xx :P
