Sunday round-up

So here I was planning to have got a few things made this weekend... things did not go quite according to plan!

I spent most of the weekend chained to my PC sorting updates to it after installing some new software. {sigh}

I did manage to finish off one book and read another in one sitting:

A very entertaining read and I wonder how the rest of this new series will pan out with the Smythe-Smith quartet.

On the creative front I did manage to make my card for this week's 52 Cards Challenge, which was to use hearts, wood and corrugated card.

Well I have one heart accent punched from corrugated card and my wood element is wood background paper:

Papers: Crate Paper
Stamps: Papertrey Ink
Dies: Papertrey Ink
Sticker: Echo Park
Punches: Martha Stewart, Marvy
Lace: The Ribbon Girl
Pearls: Kaisercraft
Other: Chipboard, 3D foam, Glossy Accents, Distress Stickles, Floss, Distress Inks

I also wasted half an hour of my life trying to get my Martha Stewart butterfly punch to work again after it jammed trying to cut cardstock. Well it was so bad that I ended up taking a hammer to it and it has fixed the problem enough that I can still punch paper with it, rather than nothing at all. Didn't think trying to get a replacement from EK Success would get me anywhere as I've heard plenty of horror stories about the CS for dodgy Martha Stewart punches. Oh well, I've not lost anything as I would have had to buy a new one if the hammer approach hadn't sorted it. ;o)

I also forgot to post the rather dodgy photos of a card I made the other night - decent light had gone by the time I'd finished it.

Paper and die-cuts: October Afternoon
Dimensional stickers: American Crafts
Alpha stickers: October Afternoon
Other: 3D foam

And now I need to rustle up some tea and check out what's on telly. :)

Your cards are fab - the detail in your 52 Card Challenge design is gorgeous. That ticket is too cute! Rx
