Carousel Note (Card request)

Hi everyone, what's up!

I have made another video tutorial yesterday and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. The watercolour technique just amazing. Even though I keep saying that oil painting is my best medium, I have also liked water colouring since high school.

Anyway, I have used Carousel note from Stampin up, the sentiment is from the stamp set 'simply said' , by stampin' up and ribbons also from stampin up. My watercolour pencils, I bought them at WHsmith(don't you love WHsmith?- I do!) and my water brush...hmm, I can't remember but you can get it at any good craft store. If you have any questions, please just ask.

Thanks for visiting me today:)

Take care

Tri-Fold card

Hi everyone!:) What's up!!!I have finally been able to upload this video and it took me ages, when I say ages, I mean ages. I have managed to get rid of the two black chunky lines which were on the sides of my videos.Thanks to Brickshot 7 , a youtuber(if that's what you call someone on youtube), who is brilliant with technologies.Check him out if you want to learn the tricks of the trade.And he is also very helpful.So thanks to him I have managed to upload my video in a widescreen mode(otherwise everything looks squashed) and yeah, so I hope you will enjoy this video tutorial.

I have used tempting turquoise cardstock, tempting turquoise and basic black ink from stampin' up and Ultimate crafters companion embossing board, scallop punch, All oval stamp set, Oval punches.And the sentiment is by My sentiments exactly but It was a gift given to me, so I am not sure if these alphabet stamp set is available in the UK, but I love the 'elegant' font of this set.

Anyway I am uploading another video shortly and it was a request from one of my faithful visitor on youtube:) I have a few other requests and hopefully I will get to make them, as , I am on holiday but many things have been lined up.I have also planned to rest as much as I can as this is what I need right now.But, the fact that I am at home, and not much to do, I am taking things slowly, one at a time and I feel really good to be able to indulge in my Craft world and forget all my worries. Crafting is so therapeutic that I think everyone should be crafting!!!

Oh, by the way, my blog is having another make over...I go through my moments where I do not like what I see anymore...but some months down the line, I bet I will not like the new one too, so bear with me.And thanks for visiting me today.

Bye and take care

If you don't know....

Ask for HELP! I have just lost some of my favourite pictures!I cannot believe I have allowed this to happen. I had some precious pictures on my cell phone.And I thought, I will have to upload them to my computer since if my phone get lost one day, I will not lose my pictures. I have also received an external hard drive from my husband as a gift. So, I was uploading lots and lots of cards from my PC to my external hard drive. Then the last thing I was doing was uploading the pics from my cell phone to my PC....but I wasn't sure how to do that. After I have plugged in everthing necessary, all I had to do was ask for help.My husband was right there but I thought, I could do it without messing up.



Pffff! I right clicked and chose shortcut to desktop. Then right after I have done that, I deleted ALL the pics on my cell phone!!When it prompted me whether I was sure to delete them, I still could ask my husband...But no,I decided to go ahead and follow my instinct(if you can call that instinct) and I pressed 'Delete permanently'!!!When they have been deleted, I tried to open the shortcuts...and surprise! They cannot be opened. I started to panick and told my husband I need help, desperately and he should try and recover my pics. It took him half an hour to make me undertand that he cannot restore pics I have deleted permanently...I think I got it but refused to accept it!



So anyway, all the pics are gone.ALL of them. There are a few pictures I took on the spur of the moment, beautiful pictures which I do not think I will ever capture again.How frustrating is that!



I am also in the process of applying for a duplicate of my degree certificate.Okay okay, I know you will think, wot the hell is wrong with this woman! I didn't lose it!I sent it off to a company who claimed to have posted it back to me, but I have never received it. And it is taking a long time since the Uni I went to is not in the UK....I tried to get some help months ago but I don't think the person I was talking to took me seriously.Now my friend from SA is helping me and has already forwarded the necessary form of application.A pain but I have learnt my lesson, the hard way, but hey, I have learnt never ever to send the original document to anyone, right?!



And, I am torn between making a decision regarding my job right now. There is a position in my department , which is more responsibility and more money, but I do not feel passionate about it.And I really do not know whether I should apply for it or not...I am tempted to apply just to see what it is like to manage....but at the same time, I do not feel I have enough experience to even apply for it.So, I do not know what to do.I hate when I have to take decisions where I honestly do not know what to do.Most of the times I back off instead of taking the chance. Anyway, whatever is meant to happen will happen.



Lastly, sometimes, in life, you will meet people who will blame you for things that is going wrong in their lives....My advise to you is: Be positive and as long as you know, you cannot be the reason for the things that are going wrong in their lives, as long as your conscience is clear, you will be okay.And also, sometimes, in life, you will meet up with people who will hurt your feelings, take it with a pinch of salt as , at the end of the day, it is the diversity in human nature that makes the world goes round.



Anyway, I have talked a lot today....Oh, I forgot to mention, I have made a video about two weeks ago and I had to edit it and audio tape my tutorial...And when I was looking for the video today, I couldn't find it - as I didn't save it! You can see that nothing is going right for me..but I just hope its just one of those days and that my week ahead will be lovely.So I am going to edit the video a bit more before I go to bed. I am including a picture of the final project...but you will have to come back soon as I will put the video tutorial on how to make this card...

If you like this card, come back soon as I will show you how to make it. Also, I have included a new chat box in the side bar on your right....If you are not on blogger , or even if you are on blogger, you can leave me a quick note in the chat box....Please do leave me a message as your comment and message are important to me.

Much love,

Tassy:)

Christmas Card

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all keeping well and unlike me, are having a ball of a time. I normally like the festive season, it gets busy, and I like the hussle and bustle on the road. Normally I like peace and quiet but around this time of the year,I do get excited with all the lights decoration, christmas trees are up, decorative window shops. I do not celebrate christmas but I like the rush of this time of the year. Friends at work will talk about their last minute shopping, their lists of gifts, holiday preparations...*sign*!

I am recuperating from my FLU. Talking about flu, could I just say, some people do not know the difference between a cold and a flu.There is a big difference!If you have a cold, you can still get up from bed and get on with your life, in between wiping your runny nose, or a cough here and there, and maybe a slight temperature. But if you have the flu, you CANNOT get up from bed as your whole body is sore, you have a headache(the pounding one, the one when you move your head, you feel as though your whole brain and eye balls are moving together with ur head),you have a high temperature, and you get sick,in other words, you vomit!Food will be the last thing on your mind - you cannot get on with your life. All you would want to do is lie down, and you feel very light headed and you will avoid talking.You would want to sleep it off and everytime you cough, you feel as though your chest is collapsing, your head is exploding and you wished the word cough never existed.

Now this is what I am talking about - Nasty huh? Well, tell me about it! I am talking about this because someone said to me, you are having a cold, and a cold is not classified as being sick.I replied, I dont have a cold, Ive got flu! He said, well, cold....flu...what the heck! IT's the same thing. Well hell no! it is not! I will not go and wish people who do not know wot I am talking about to experience it, but, do your homework before you talk.Innit!

I've had a moan and I am sorry.I did promise I will not moan on my blog, didn't I! But hey, sometimes I need to vent out and anyway, I don't think many people read my blog....so I am safe:))Except for a few regular girl friends!Thanks girlies....and just know I do appreciate your effort to visit my blog, I seriously do!Maybe I do not show enough how grateful I am.But guess wot, there is a blog candy coming up soon. I was supposed to do this ages ago when I hit the 10.000 posts, but I missed it.So it will be a late blog candy....coming up in the next week. Last but not least, my two girlies , you know who you are......I am sorry for not keeping up to my word but this week is the week I will go to the post office.(not me, my sister - she doesn't read my blog so she will not know I have already decided she is going to the PO for me - LOL! how fun is that!you see why your family should never read your blog - mine doesn't!)

Okay enough chat- let's talk about serious stuffs. Everytime I post a video, I do not put up pictures of the final project, how rude is that?!!I guess it is always very nice to have some piccies up.I am going to post some pictures and the video for it will be just couple of posts down.Arrgh!I might put up the video again...Anyway, Painshop Pro is a great tool for adding watermark.Hope you like these cards and your comments are always appreciated:)
