The Green Party...

...Oh-ho, I think I surpassed myself with daft titles this time...here in the UK the countdown to the General Election has started...to be honest, I'm bored of all the snipeyness that is going on...but I digress LOL Remember, I may have mentioned on the odd occasion that I was the UK Co-Ordinator for the UK/Europe Art Exchange for Gingersnap Creations??? Well, here is my last postcard...the theme was Party Time .. and I used green's...hence...the Green Party *ahem, I promise I will try to do better with the titles LOL*




The Distress Inks used were Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive and Forest Moss. The word is made up from Tim's Mini Cirque Alpha set...I loooove these loads... and the flower is made from Grungepaper and the Tattered Floral Alteration. The sentiment is by Mrs Vecchi and the frame is by Maya Road.




I am writing this whilst asleep... because I have to be up early in the morning to get to Ally Pally before all the shoppers get there... so, when you read this, I will be tucked up in bed :O)) Actually, thinking about that though...what if you read it at like 2pm in the afternoon...that means I have just fibbed...cos I won't be tucked up in bed then...I will be lurking around Stand #49 which is where The Artistic Stamper will be. You will be able to tell the difference between me and Jennie, for starters, I will be the one who looks frazzled and is muttering about cardboard boxes...and I will be the one who is too busy chopsing with everyone to remember to demo ROFL... I know I said it yesterday .. but if you are going to AP..please call by and say helloooooo *you have to say it just like that LOL* cos it would be lovely to meet up and put faces to blog's :O)) *uh...yeh, mine is a coffee, white, one sugar (I know, you all thought I was sweet enough) and don't worry about a cake or anything like that...chocolate will suffice LOL* Oh and before I go - today is the last day for the Sunday Stamper entry and being in with a chance of winning some candy...click HERE to see what I am waffling about...the challenge closes earlier tonight than normal...(21:00) 'cos I will be a-bed early again and need to schedule the new Sunday Stamper theme (mmm, shall I give you a clue about the new theme???? mmm, ... no!!!!!)post to write itself while I am asleep :O)) Thanks for looking...enjoy the sunshine and hope to see ya...

Answers on a Postcard...

...did I mention that the Gingersnaps were having an Art Exchange and I was made UK Co-ordinator for the swap?? I did already? oh well, just thought I would remind you ROFL Here is postcard #3




It is the same LO as the others...using Distress Inks, Wendy Vecchi's Studio 490 stamps - they are the best aren't they? along with Grungeboard and Grungepaper and a few bits of Maya Road & Idea-ology thrown in for good measure.




I thought I had already blogged this postcard...and thank goodness I didn't already cos I have no new art to show you...*sob* ... cos...I spent most of yesterday in my bedroom....no, not what you think ;O))...and no, not ill either...I was...*pauses for dramatic effect* turning out my wardrobe and drawers....yikes, I have accumulated a whole load of rubbish over the years...and...I am sad to admit, the clothes on the top rail of my wardrobe - the one that I can't reach cos I am a shorty - have been there, untouched, since the day we moved into this house....six years ago ROFL So, they have all made their final journey to the local tip - clothing recycling, cardboard boxes that used to have shoes in, books, old make-up are just a few things that went that way...and then...I grappled with about 2,000 coat hangers...please please please can someone explain why they are 1) such a pain in the bum to pack up and 2) how come there are so many of them???? I went to recycle them...and was told *to my horror* that they have to go into general waste...how utterly ridiculous! I had toyed with the idea of melting them and making something really altered but time is ticking now and we have about 2 weeks to pack everything...and I ain't started on the Room of Stash yet!




Anyways..enough of my grumblings...am off to try and make something for the Sunday Stamper for tomorrow..be sure to check back in the morning cos I have some Candy to giveaway too :O)) TTFN Oh, and BTW, the girls who joined in this swap...I have just received Elina's postcards...three weeks later from Greece...why does it take so long for Europe post yet USA is super speedy??? *I need some chocolate, am turning into a grumpy old woman* Anyways...I will post out the swaps on Tuesday - so they will be with you soon x
