I would like to complete all the card making challenges tonight, and there are 3 this week. I know some of these cards are very ugly, and I am just going to throw them away. So if you would like one please let me know with your postal address and I will send it to you. They are all blank inside so you can use them for any occasion. You could even give them to people you do not really like, but are obliged to give birthday, get well, go away cards.
From http://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.jp/ comes the challenge of doing a card in monochromatic colours. Yellow is maybe my least favorite colour (after orange), so to make the challenge more interesting I did it in yellow (blah!)
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/projects/challenges/current-challenges/ challenged me with a card layout, using banner flags. You can see the sketch below, as well as my effort. I feel this is the most successful one of the three.
And then lastly papertake wanted me to do my worst nightmare - "All things girlie". I hate this card - sure you will also hate it. So if there are no takers the little girl will dissappear in the round filing cabinet next to my desk.
And what would an evening be without some cookies. Luckily all children should be in bed by now, because these are adult cookies only.
They are called Bourbon Pecan Chews, and just like magic I turned this
into this!!!
Just a note of warning - my kitchen smelled like a cross between a christmas pudding and a shibeen. Hubbie says he cannot taste the bourbon, and the cookies are crispy yet chewy and very nice. I will have to put a warning on these cookies tomorrow for all the people at work who cannot have any alcohol.
Jack Daniels make me think of my son David, and his band BELOVED is playing a gig at Rumours tonight - so I am thinking of him and am sure he will be brilliant!!!
Grunge greetings
