Not A Happy Zippy

Hello all my lovely blog friends!  Hope you are having a lovely weekend.  My weekend has not started off very well.  I ordered a skip for Den as he is clearing out mum's house.  I ordered this on Wednesday and told them wanted it Saturday morning, it will be on the street so would need a permit from the Council which usually takes a couple of days.  It was the manager of the firm I spoke to and he said it would be with us between 8 a.m. - 9 a.m.  9.30 arrives and no skip.  So I rang the firm to be told it would not be coming!!!  WHAT!!!!! Apparently the manager had not passed on the details to the office staff so no permit had been sorted and without the permit we could not have the skip!  Poor girl, she couldn't apologise enough, but it wasn't her fault, just the stupid manager!  As I said to Den, if it had been the office staff who had not got the permit they would be in trouble but who is going to tell the manager off - no one!  Anyway, another skip will be ordered in the week and rant is now over! 


The Penny Black image has been coloured with Promarkers.

Papers are Papermania Lucy Cronwell and Pink Petticoat Vintage Rose Collection (free with a craft mag). 

Ribbon is Papermania Capsule Collection - Sunshine.

Everything else is from stash.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Summertime

Hello everyone and a big Hello and hugs to my lovely new follower Carole Sweeney.  Please visit her blog the link for which is listed under my 'Blogs That Inspire Me' - Carole's Creative Critters.  Her blog is fantastic!  Do pop over and visit her. 

The Penny Black Saturday Challenge for this month is Summertime and we certainly seem to be having that at the moment!  But the forecast for where I am is not good for next week, dull, cold and rain.  Typical, Den is on holiday next week so it was bound to rain!  Never mind, I will keep him busy in the house, I've got plenty for him to do!

The Penny Black image has been coloured with Promarkers and the papers used are Me To You Spring Chic.

The Sun Has Got His Hat On

Hip hip hooray!  We have had some glorious weather here, just like Summer in fact!  Been so nice to sit outside for a change!  Hope the weather is being kind to you where ever you are!

I would also like to say hello and welcome to my lovely new follower Deb.  I have had a quick look at your blog and it is awesome!  Do pop over everyone and see her fantastic makes and the amazing wildlife photos!  The link to her blog is down the side under Blogs That Inspire Me - Scribbin' & Scrappin',

My Little Pony

Hello again, I'm back!  Now I really must apologise for the rubbish photo, the card really isn't crooked its just my terrible photography and the fact that I really do need to go to Specsavers which reminds me, I had a voucher for a free eye test drop though my door yesterday so I will be using it very soon!

I have coloured the image with Promarkers and everything else is from stash.  I also used crystal glitter on the rim of the hat.

I am entering this card in the Winter Wonderland Challenge, the theme is Pink, Purple, Aqua and Green, and to use three or all of the colours.  I decided on pink, purple and green.
