Well, it's been a couple of weeks actually, so not my longest break from blogging. I have just been quite tired in the evenings, and spending my spare time sprawled out on the sofa having snoring competitions with the dog.
I have a couple of cards to show you, one of which I actually did make last week but have been far too lazy to sit down and type anything that resembles a blog post.
Anyway onto the first card, which is an eleventh hour posting of Papertake Weekly Sketch #35. I used some SEI papers which I got as a present and my EK Success flower punches - I love dragging these punches out from time to time. The sentiment is a Hero Arts clear stamp.
My second card is more current for Fridays Sketchers #91. Now for this card I have been actually playing around with my Craft Robo. I have been coveting nestabilities for a while now but keep putting myself off buying them. So, I though I would blow the cobwebs from my old arch enemy the Robo and set to work creating my own nested shapes.
A little bit of help from the Craft Robo forum on UK Scrappers and I have made a new mat (the real ones got thrown out in a tantrum lol), successfully drawn and cut a scalloped oval and plain oval to nest inside it and discovered that I had originally had my blade in wrong. Can you believe it, I have cut Bazzil, I thought that was an impossibility on this thing lol as most of the time when I have tried before it has ended up looking like something the dog chewed.
Anyway, enough waffling from me, I used MME Papers on this card and those punches again, along with a little help from Craft Robo.
Thank you for looking.

These are both great Leigh. I am sure you will get lots of use from the flower punch - it looks a good size.
Well done also on making the oval mats - certainly a lot cheaper than buying nestabilities!
Oh and before I forget I had a good chuckle at trying to picture you having snoring competitions with the dog! I haven't felt like crafting or blogging a lot this monthe either.
Lovely cards Leigh. You can make good roses with those punches too. :)
Ooops, wrong punch. you need a six petal one. I think your ovals are brilliant.
Gorgeous cards!
Thanks for joining us at Papertake Weekly!
