Here I am at August already, catching up on the crafting blog: The Great Normano and I have returned from Bute after cat-sitting Pip for Ann. The weather was very mixed, but it’s a beautiful isle. I hadn’t taken any craft supplies with me, which was just as well as I spent most of the time chilling out!
With the guys at the Haven we crafted easel cards, some for fund-raising and some to send, afterwards CraftyWhippet stuffed her face with a luscious strawberry tart as her reward for our hard work: 
As far as crafting goes, since I came home, I’ve only been making cards for sending to folks: a Cuttlebug, 2 octagons and an easel A6 -- 
CraftyWhippet cannot be let loose with a shopping craft channel and a credit card – while I was away she managed to purchase a Christmas craft CD-rom and a Raindrops 
craft kit. Well…we shared the cost of the kit, after all, there was two of everything… Using the wedding decoupage caused me some smudgy problems with the ink when I personalised the names on the PC; however, using a frame made on the Eaziscore board covered over the problem. Mistakes can always be repaired. It’s not for nothing that we are called crafty! – though I should confess that it was actually Ruth’s son who came up with the idea of using one of our frames – he’s getting into craft whether he likes it or not.

Love the card - I saw Raindrops on C&C. Can they be bought ese where? I think they would be lovely as rubber stamps. Hugs Tammy x
Thanks for commenting. I googled but it only shows available from Create&Craft/Ideal World. I like your designs on your blog. Keep in touch.
Nice cards! It's great when you can salvage a project and hide the goofs, isn't it? ;)
It's actually fun working out how to fix mistakes (oustakes?) without wasting all the effort already put in.
