Odds and ends :)

Well so much for updating more often lol! Just a quick post with a few odds and ends, a birthday card, engagement card and a pretty tag. Hoping to get the rest of my Halloween stuff finished today and my pumpkin carved :)

Well what have I been upto while I've been AWOL lol! Well I have had to format my computer, something I hate doing as it takes ages to back up all my graphics folder lol! I am now using Windows 7, not sure what i think of it yet but I like that it boots up quickly :)

I have also been learning Photoshop, I almost completed Photoshop CS5 book classroom in a book, that's been fun and I've learnt some new tricks. Unfortunately my trusty old Paintshop Pro had stopped working properly when I installed it on Vista, I had to run it in compatibility mode so I thought it was time to upgrade to something new. I'm very impressed so far :)

I also treated myself to a Cricut Expression, which is fab although with work I haven't had much time to play.

Hopefully I'll get my halloween projects posted next week. So much to do, so little time lol!

My pumpkins, I grew these for the first time this year, the little things at the front are my butternut squash, unfortunately they didn't do so well this year but it's been a funny year altogether weather wise :0

Birthday card for a friend
Flowers are cut from Flower Shoppe cartridge, heart tag from Fabulous Finds cart, papers and cardstock is mainly Stampin Up with a bit of K & Co. Stamps and inks are Stampin Up too.


Our Katy and Jono's engagement card, the rose wreath is actually heart shaped and it took ages to wire it all together, it's not very clear in the photo and I had to turn the topper diagonal as I'd made it too large lol!

A pretty tag using Tim Holtz and See D's stamps TH distress inks and ribbons, buttons from stash. Some of the flowers are made by me and some were bought, I dyed some of the ribbon with distress inks to make it match, I quite like how it came out and I'm planning to send it to a lovely lady who I met through FB, can't say who it is yet as she might see lol!
Well that's it for today,
Happy crafting
