Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all you mums out there !! Hope you are all going to have a great day and be thoroughly spoiled !!! Here are the two cards I made this year, one for my Gran and the other for my Aunt whom I think of and love as a mum. We spent the day yesterday at Harrogate paper show together having a great time and buying too many of those things we just NEED to have and don't really !!! hehe !!!

This is the card and box I made for my Gran, she still has all the other cards I made for her over the years so this will be added to the collection too !!!

This is the one I made for my aunt ! Sorry I just ran out of time to make a box too ............ babies they just take up so much time !!! hehe

So, I am off out now with my family and then they are going to cook me dinner !! Yum yum !!! Oooh yeah I got breakfast in bed delivered to me too !!! So lucky !!!

Have a great day everyone !!!

Colour inspiried

Well, something a little different this week from me !! At C4E the challenge this week is a colour one. I happened to be looking at my beads and thinking of this challenge so I decided to make a necklace and earings than a card ! I'm sure it will wing its way to my friend soon !!! The beads are a semi precious stone, Russian Serpentine. Green with natural colourings and markings making them quite stunning, so with a bit of wire work and threading voila !!

Winter sports !

Well this challenge from the Christmas card club was so appropriate as Caitlyn has been in Colorado ski-ing this week !!! I decided to use a criss cross fold card. papers are Nitwits and image is LOTV. Oh how I love the snow ...........  but I love spring too and that's nearly here !!

If anyone fancies joining our Christmas club send any of us an email, you will find us all on the sidebar !

Well I am off to recover I have had some friends and their families over for the weekend ......... too early for wine I guess tho !!! hehe !!!
