I hope you have had a good week. I've certainly had a busy one.
I've been out crafting with friends, out for lunch twice a visit from the hairdresser who really is a friend after 10 years and hubby,s cousin came for a visit.
On Wednesday I was both surprised and delighted to find that I had won some Tim Holtz stencils on Rachel,s blog.
I've been having a play and this is my first card using them, together with one of Tim's Crazy Birds. I know my new stencils are going to get lots of use.
I,m going to the craft show at Stoneleigh on Sunday with a friend.We,ve arranged to meet up there with two blog buddies I've never met before so I'm feeling quite excited.
I,m linking up with Annie on her Stitches in Time blog where we share what made us smile during the week.

Love this card, Barb. Great background for the lovely Crazy Bird. Have a great time at the craft fair, how exciting to meet up with some blogging buddies! xx
Happy Friday Barb!! So far I've resisted those adorable little birds but the more I see them the more I want them! Unfortunately I gave away my Cuttlebug and all my stencils and dies - I have no idea what I was thinking.
The young woman did do most of the artwork on her skateboard! It was a black skeleton and she added everything else. She was so sweet to talk with. I noticed her the minute she walked into the place and knew instantly that I wanted a picture. She said everyone asks her for pictures!! haaa I showed her mine and she asked me to email them to her so she must have thought they turned out quite well.
Have a wonderful time at the craft fair! It's great when you get to meet blogging buddies in person!
Hugs,
Kay
Hi Barb, I love your wee birdie and the background is fab. It sounds as if you have had a great week and enjoy Sunday too.
Catch you after the weekend, look forwards to hearing all about Sunday.

Hi Barb, that is a brilliant card I just love those crazy birds. Thanks for the visit to mine and have a great weekend, Angela x
She could design for the company. I know with the Skis and Snow Boards they are always looking for new designs to decorate them and I should think the skate boards are the same. Angela x
How lucky to win some stencils and you've made really good use of them. I love Tim's crazy birds...and dogs...and cats - can't choose between them and to be honest I don't NEED any of them really!!!
Lucky you! And your card is adorable!
Thank you for all times you've visited my blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you a nice, creative weekend! :)
Hugs,

Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Your card looks great Barb, I love it. Have fun on the craft show and with meeting your two blog buddy's. Hugs Veerle x
Your card is fun. I met the crazy birds on Di's blog. They are not a stamp I would have chosen to buy, but I love all the things I have seen made with them. So I should look harder and think about the possibilities before discarding things, shouldn't I?
I hope you have a lovely day out at the craft show. Kate x
Wow, you have had a fun and busy week! Congrats on your win, Barb! Well done! Love how you made good use of your prize - the background you created is gorgeous! I love the look of a stencilled background but I haven't quite got the knack for it - yet! I'll have to start playing with my stencils more! Beautiful card!
Wow you have been busy, love your card, how cool to have won the stencils, and have a fab day tomorrow, how exciting! Xxx
