Happy Birthday ....

... to a special little boy called Blake :)  Blake is the youngest son to Victoria, my upliner and he is 2 today.  The last time I saw him I got soooo many hugs and cuddles it was lovely.  Obviously I couldn't let his special day go without making him a card so here it is

I've used the combination of Fun and Fast Notes, On a Pedastal and Just Perfect alaphbet stamp sets.  The colour combo is Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade c/s, Poppy Parade, Daffodile Delight, Pacific Point ink and elements from Celebration papers.  I've had to hand write the "2" using the Poppy Parade marker/

Have a great day little man

Hey everyone,

Its been a busy week so far, so much for having a relaxing week off...lol  Today has been no different as I've been to dearest daughters and run an errand for her as she had to wait in for a delivery today, then I nipped to see a friend and take her order and finally ended up at Victorias for a chat and a cup of coffee.   It was lovely to see the boys running around the garden and I got to have lots of cuddles - from the boys I might add...

Anyway, one good thing is that I've made some more cards  and, rather than show you another male card I've decided, for the first time, to join in the Less is More challange. The theme this week is one layer and "in the frame".   This is what I've come up with.

I've made the frame using the piercing tool and mat set, the image is from Fun and Fast Notes set and I've coloured  in the flower using the markers.  The sentiment is from a Hostess set Something to Celebrate. 

Thanks for stopping by and having a look at my project.

Fun and Fast notes

Where has the weekend gone? It only seems like yesterday when it was Friday. Well we went out for a meal with all the family on Saturday night and had a really nice time. Then yesterday I had a chilled out day, mind you the less you do the less you want to do don't you think?

I recently had a request to make a card for an office where someone was leaving to have a baby. The trouble is I got asked when I got home from work at gone 5 and they wanted it that night. So this is what I came up with. I've used the Fun and Fast notes set


They wanted a big card so that everyone could sign it (about 40 in the office) so what I did was concertina 3 cards together and put 2 inserts in, plenty of room for good luck wishes.
Thanks for looking.

Fun and Fast Notes

Hey,
Remember yesterday I said I had made 2 baby cards, well I thought I'd post the 2nd one I did.



As you can see its using the image from the Fun and Fast Notes set by SU and also the Lets Party set for the balloons. It doesn't show very clearly but I used my crimper to give texture to the balloons and set them at different heights on the card. For a little bling I added some gems that are so shiney, best I've ever had. All products used were from SU.



I forgot to mention that yesterday I held my craft class and it was soooo much fun, we covered brayering and spritzing this month, I'll post picturs of what we made later in the week. Thank you ladies for coming, see you next month when we are using the Just Believe set.



Big hugs

Anniversary Card

Evening,

I've just had a wonderful day with a lovely friend, Karen, crafting at my home, well more talking than crafting ...lol. I managed to make 2 cards and Karen just used my stamps to stamp out lots of images that she hasn't got to take home.

This is the first of the cards I made and the other one will be put on my blog tomorrow. This if for our neighbours anniversary later this month, they got married on the same day and year as me and my hubby.... how weird is that? All products used are SU except the embossing folder. The ribbon was initially whisper white and I used pixie pink ink pad to colour it and the flowers.



With this card I am entering the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly Challenge White and bright
Crafty Creations Challenge Wedding or Anniversary
Our Creative Corner Its Embossable
Sweet Stampin Challenge Pretty in Pink

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to reading any comments you wish to leave

What a week...

Phew, I hope the worst is over. Got rushed into hospital last week and ended up having surgery on Thursday. Hopefully I'm on the road to recovery now, fingers crossed. Needless to say I haven't done much crafting lately, I'm just glad I got the wedding card done early, but here are a few of the cards I have managed to make.









Thanks for stopping by and having a look
