WOYWW - still missing in action :(

I just spent a whole day yesterday working on stuff for our school association and at about 5pm realised that all the work was for nothing :( The logo I'd been using is to be replaced by a special 20th Anniversary one for this next reunion in 2013 - and it isn't a case of dropping a new one into place, I just know that - plus I'd made up all the samples ready for an association committee meeting this weekend too. There's still steam rising from Hampshire right now!

So that scuppered Wednesday for me as I'll just have to start again - no chance of hopping about on WOYWW and it ain't fair to link so I'll be missing in action once again.

But, after hurling stuff round the craft room in a right little tantrum, I whipped this little card up instead:
I used:

- card cut to DL size, strip of silver edged card and layered up (already done!) image, all by Kan Ban from their 'Special Moments' collection  - this one is called 'Sunday Best'

- the label is also from the kit, I stamped a little sentiment using Memento 'London Fog' - the sentiment stamp is by SU from the 'Pocket Silhouettes' set - good old SU to the rescue again

- little snippet of white organza ribbon and three card candies - coloured with a Pro Marker as all the pinks I had weren't 'blue toned' enough. To be honest, a big bag of white card candi is a great route as you can always colour those to suit

You can see what a rush I was in, it was getting dark outside so I plonked the card down and pressed the shutter on the camera! Nowt fancy, after the day I'd had!!!

  3. I know the feeling. Just done a post, got to the end of it and linked all the challenges up and hey presto computer made a horible cherchink kerchunk and even though I had saved it the whole lot disappeared. Just spent the entire evening rewriting it! It's freezing up here in the pod too. Off for a coffee and cheese scone. Hugs Mrs A.
    p.s. Not going to bed in case those nasty goblins from the potting shed get me!!!! I been having night mares ever since you told me about em.

  5. I thought I heard some strange noises in the air last night,now I know what they were. See your steam reached all the way to Yorkshire, Di. How frustrating. Do you want a hand with them? I'll be round, put the kettle on!!!!
    Love your card. I just bought a set of stamps with this image on in a sale, it's so cute!!!!
    Happy WOYWW

  7. Grrrrrrrrr. What a waste of a day. No wonder you were seething and there was steam coming out your ears. How VERY frustrating to say the least.

    I wholeheartedly sympathise with your plight.

    Here's hoping you have a BETTER day today.

    On the upside . . . you made a REALLY LOVELY card! And it was pink . . .instead of BLACK and RED or BLACK and BLUE . . . the way you were feeling.

    BIG BIG HUGS xxxxx

  10. Oh dear Di, what a day! I'm not a bit surprised there's steam issuing distantly from Hampshire ... I'd me a tad mad too. However, the resultant card is lovely - I'm a recent convert to Kanban, having discovered I can buy single packs of their toppers from my favourite craft centre. Those toppers are so useful for quick card makes. Good tip about the card candy ... I've tons of colours but often not the one I'm looking for :) Hope you get the school association stuff done and dusted today so you can back to crafting asap. Hugs, Elizabeth xx

  17. Hi there Di - I can feel the airwaves fizzing from your place! I hope you are feeling a bit better now. I am amazed at the 'quick' card you made, I couldn't do a quick one like this as long as I have a hole in me ...... doughnut! Love the creation!!

  20. Whoa! Look at all those layers! Some people cook when they are mad and some people clean and you, you apparently layer things in tidy little stacks. Looking good! Sorry to hear that all that work was for naught.
