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 !!!

Mothersday

Over at C4E this week our challenge is Mothersday ! Its not long now !! Well I used Tatty Teddy Spring Cd again for this challenge. I just love these papers and images !!! I also decided to get my Cricut out and dust it off !! Mmm I wish I hadn't bothered !! It took me 2 hours to get a correctly cut word "Mother" !

Anyway I did eventually succeed ........ I made a card and a box and a gift tag. I edged the lid of the box with a punch to give it a more interesting edge than just square. The flowers are from bridal confetti from the USa with added bling !! So all ready for Mothers day now !

Come join the fun we are sponsored this week by Stamping all day and the Digi garden, come check it out !

Digital Delights

Hello everyone !!! What a busy busy week ............. I took my little girl to the airport to go see her dad for a week in the USA and have been deep cleaning the kitchen and lounge !!! Inc sorting out furniture and stuff !!! Phew ............

This week at C4E the challenge is Digital Delights to include a digi element or use everything digi !! As you can see I chose to use a Tatty teddy image and papers from the new Springtime Cd !! Only the flowers and bling on this card are not digital. I thought I would go for a nice simple clean look for this. I glitterd up the flowers and the bow on the egg. Now who to send this card to ............... !!!

Have a great weekend I have a busy one ahead, Sunday dinner for my partners children !! Will be great fun we number 11 of us when we are all together !!
