Cross Monday

First of all my photos seemed to be all leaning to the right, afraid you will have to blame the photographer, haven't worked out why yet. The second I was so cross with the card above, I stamped and coloured Tilda, layered the patterned paper which is crate paper by the way and went to stick Tilda on the card and I've seem to mislaid my silcone glue but its OK I've a new one but not the same make. Well I knew something was wrong when I was using it it had air bubbles, smelt strongly and seemed very wet, and when you use it, it soaks the card and leaves a very nasty stain when dry. I moaned and complain to my Sis and lucky for me she has some silcone of the usual stuff I used. So when we arrived home yesterday and DH was watching Match of the day I repaired her with a new face and apron. The card was for Saturday Sketchers and cross-stitch Tilda.
Still receiving lovely handmade cards through the post, this one is from Nikki.



And these little darlings are from Debbie.
Whilst writing my blog my sis has rang me to tell me that blasted YOBS about 5 am this morning threw a lump of concrete threw the bedroom window of my Mum and Dad's sheltered accomodation flat and only just missed my Dad's bed. Both very shaken but OK really what kind of world do we live in.

Hi Debby. I just love your Tilda card which gives a feeling of shabby shick. So glad that your parents are okay after that weird event which could have ended in tragedy. Hugs from Desire
