made this card as a result of trying out my new memory box flower die

Engagement card for a special couple

I was determined to fit in some crafting this weekend but apart from finishing off a card for my lovely friend Ems I have not been near my little room. We decided to change some bedrooms around which took much longer than expected but now we have a proper gueat room which when we have decorated it will look even better. So it was off to the Laura Ashley sale today for some paint and curtains. Saw lots of other lovely things so the pile grew and grew. Never mind, we now have some lovely new bedside lamps for our bedroom and our old ones can go in the guest room along with hubby's digital piano (arriving next week) which was the reason for changing the rooms around as it has to go upstairs somewhere. Looking forward to tinkling the ivories again!! I seriously need to retire so I can enjoy my gorgeous new granddaughter, craft, play piano, garden etc etc!!

First Grandchild

Card for our first grandchild, beautiful Lily May.

New Crafty Space

Loving my new craft room. Its not quite finished, I still need some wall shelving and a notice board. Quite pleased with myself as I put the bookcases together myself with a bit of help from one of hubby's power tools! The best thing is that I now have some space to fill!!

30th Birthday card for a special friend

This is a 30th Birthday card for a special friend of mine, the image is Sarah Kay, coloured with promarkers. The papers are from a K&Co stack and the embossed cardstock is a cuttlebug embossing folder. Sentiment is cuddly buddly.

Monday again!!

Have been a bit busy recently so have not had time to post. Been out shopping this morning and popped into WH Smith while I was out, got myself a bit of a bargain. Two sets of 3 A4 Drawers for £4.99 each, reduced from £13.99 each. They will be great for all my A4 card and papers, off in a mo to sort it all out. Then I need to make a start on a 30th Birthday card for a very special friend. Also need to finish my recipe book, my daughter has been asking me for ages to put some of my fav recipes into a book for her, have made a start but still got a way to go. Will post pics when finished!!

Musical Mice

Got this Penny Black stamp a few weeks ago at a craft show, have used it to make a male Birthday card. Coloured the image with promarkers, backing paper is Dovecraft, cardstock from stash. Finished off with Penny Black greeting and card candy.

Forever Friends Birthday card

Its my Mum's birthday just after Mothers Day so had to make something quite different to her MD card, have just expanded my collection of promarkers, quite happy with the colouring on the bear.

Mothers Day cards

Finally got around to making my MD cards, used Tilda for them both, cannot get enough of Tilda at the moment. Still need to add a sentiment to one of them, gave me a chance to try out my new Martha Stewart punches that I have just treated myself to.

Mother in law special Birthday card

Made this for my Mother in law, it was a special milestone Birthday for her this weekend. We had a lovely weekend in Paris with all her children and their spouse.

This is an easel card with some 3d decoupage. The greeting I created using a free font download.

Made the box using topscore multi board, decorated with cricut flowers

Tilda Valentine

Finally made hubby's Valentine's Day card, am loving Tilda stamps, omly have a few at the mo but hope to get some more soon. Used my cricut to cut out the heart which I embossed with cuttlebug. Papers were a freebie, coloured Tilda with promarkers

Cup Cakes

Today I made some yummy choc/vanilla cupcakes, suprise for Hubby as he has been away on business and I also wanted to show off my vintage cake stand

Getting there at last

Finally making sense of blogging, thanks to all the advice I have had I have managed to get going with it, trouble is I spend hours playing around with it now and visiting other blogs, going out tonight with some girls that I did my nurse training with so must go and get ready or I will be late again!!

Forever Friends new baby card

Made this Forever Friends new baby card today, one of my best friends has had her first baby, a little girl called Erin. Got lots of babies arriving this year so need to get some stamps, could'nt find one I liked in time for this card so used these decoupage stickers instead.

Sarah Kay Bookmark

Decided that I had to do something with all those strips of card that I get left with when I make a square card from A4, bookmarks I decided and here is my first. Maybe I will make matching ones to go with cards that I send people

Frustrated

struggling to get to grips with blogging, really trying and I'm not a technophobe but I am really finding it hard to add links, for example linking to another blog where blog candy is up for grabs is one example!!!
