This is my card for the Pollycraft DT call,using the papers that should be green & brown,I know,nothing like them,mine are orange & lemon!!! (you never know what you are gonna get with ebay ink,lol!!!!)
Last night the luvly Paula from Pollycraft saw my post about my struggles & said it was ok to go ahead with the papers regardless of the colours,AWWWWW,How kind,bless her,MWAH!!!!X
So here is my entry,using all 4 papers,I even cut out some of the leaves from 1 sheet & stuck them around the image.I used the Reflection stamp & coloured her with Distress Inks.
Right off to enter my card & sit with everything crossed for a few days,haha!!!! TFL :o)xxx

I'm ready to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............

I really have had enough now!
Before we went away we swapped svc providers for our telephone & internet,mbl phones,gas & electric.We have arrived home to total chaos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have had intermittent internet,our phone is not accepting incoming calls,our mbl's switch today & the gas & elec switch today!!!
We have all been on the phone at diff times to several call centres (in India) & on hold for ages,so we are all stressed out & soooo frazzled with it all.
I'm sorry if I haven't been about much & not got back to anybody,but truly,it has been a nightmare!!!!
I am hopefully ok to blog for now!,so will try get some cards & holiday pics up soon.Not sure about my emails :o{!!!!!
Sorry to have to moan,but I'm soooooooooooooooooo frustrated,lol!!!! :o)xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pollycraft Challenge...

My 1st card after my hols!!!
I was sooo excited the day before I went on my holiday,as over on Pollycraft they are looking for 2 new DT members & I just LUVVVVVVVVV Paula's stamps,so thought I would give it a bash.That's when my problems began :o( I tried to unzip the papers that were needed & I couldn't get that to work,so Paula kindly sent me them to just print off,(I was packing my case at this point)& thought excellent,I had just put my new ink cartridges in (from ebay) & waited for my blue/green & brown papers to come out.To my absolute horror,the papers came out pink/peach/yellow & orange,I was sooo upset,I even started to cry out of frustration & just gave up.It taught me never to buy ink from ebay!
So today I have followed the sketch but had to use my own papers from my stash & just enter the challenge.I am really gutted,but not to worry.
I have seen on Paula's blog there are to be some new stamps released soon,woohoo!!!! :o)xxx
