Hi all, remember me?? I've been missing in action for a loooong time - nothing serious or anything, just loads happening to my house and I had to pack my craft stuff away back in June!
We've had a conservatory built, and a new kitchen installed, as well as trying to decorate the whole of downstairs, and ripping up the flooring..sigh. Well, we still have a lot of decorating to sort and finish, flooring to still sort out, but the kitchen is finished, and the conservatory is almost almost done...just got a bit of glossing (actually lots!) and the small matter of wallpapering the wall!
So last month I completely missed out on the first Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama party, which is replacing the previous Blog Waltzes.
Claire has introduced the idea of running 5 challenges at once - four of which run for 24 hours as we are given the details a couple of weeks in advance to prepare, and the 5th one is a sketch.
I obviously haven't been able to get at my stuff (mumble mumble), so my entry today is for the sketch, and thankfully it's a nice easy one lol!
Here's my make:
I used some polka dot paper from My Minds Eye, and cut the ovals using my nesties.
I used Not Quite Navy card for the mat, and stamped the feathers from Fine Feathers set in Certainly Celery, Gumball Green and Midnight Muse, hand cut them, and attached to the card.
I added a strip of Black Chevron Twill and Turquoise satin ribbon from The Ribbon Reel, and added a little bow to the feather cluster. Finally I added some Ice stickles to the feather spines and around the scallop edge.
Here are a few pics of the chaos I had to create in this morning, and why I haven't been around much ;-/
Right, well I have a gazillion and one things to get on with, so that's all from me, until Monday when I'm back with a post for The Ribbon Reel Challenge, bye for now

Hi stranger!! So nice to have you posting today and what a PRETTY card!! Those feathers are fun and I like your playful colors. You look like you have your hands full with all the renovations LOL! But WOW the last picture sure looks like a pretty empty canvas to decorate ~ swoon!! Take care Pauline, hope you're doing well ;)
Terrific card Pauline! What fun feathers! Looks a little chaotic for now but surely down the road it will all have been worth it.
Your card looks fabulous, Pauline! Love those colours together, and your lovely stamped and fussy cut feathers.
Things look to be moving along nicely with your home improvements. The end results will be well worth the disruption it causes xx
