Fathers Day

I cant believe how rubbish my photos are!!!!...arrrrgh. I am not at all technical so not sure what to do. Anyway this card is for my Dad, the image is from Lily of the Valley and so is the sentiment. I will be using this image for my boys Fathers day card to their Dad and probably my brothers birthday so well worth the money!

I am enjoying my week off with the boys although Hubby is working away.....this means more time in my craft room. I have been making some birthday cards to get ahead of myself as I usually leave it to the last minute and have to rush.

Thanks to Barbi for giving me a Love Blog award...thats so kind. I am sorry that I havent had time to take part but its much appreciated.

Another card that I made at the weekend for my Nephew. I hope he will appreciate the text speak greeting, I had to google to find out how to text "happy birthday".......such a sad Auntie aren`t I. I really like this image from The Greeting Farm, I have used this many times as I find male cards very difficult.

Back at last.....

Well its been soooooooo long since I posted on my blog that I have forgotton my password and how to add a post......shocking!!!

I have continued to craft since my last post but have never seemed to have the time to upload pics and post onto my blog.....I have missed it. I do still have a look around at all the fabulous blogs out there and still get very inspired. So here goes......

This image is from Lily of the Valley and coloured with Copic pens, paper from V&A.

My main aim at the moment is not to spend money on crafting......this will be very difficult I know....but I have soooo much in my craft room it will be a fab challenge to actually use some of the stuff I have had for ages.

Craft Room Creations

These are some of the cards I have made over the last few weeks. I have been looking around all my fav blogs and have been inspired. I will hopefully be back as a regular blogger soon!

Craft Haven

I have finally got my craft room finished and I love it!......I can now pop in and out whenever I get five spare minutes or a whole evening if I`m lucky and craft in my own space, it`s fab.

Now I have more space I will be needing more crafty bits.........cant wait to fill all my shelves with more goodies!

Just Passing Through!

I have now realised it is impossible for me to keep up with my blog.....However much I try I only seem to have time to make last minute cards for my family birthdays, so blogging has gone out of the window. I really do miss it though.

Today my son is off school ill so I too have a day at home. I have decided to put on some of the cards I have made over the last few weeks. So sorry for not visiting my fav blogs I hope everyone is happy and well.

Hopefully in the next couple of months I will have my much wanted craft room, crafting in the dining room is a big part of why I dont have time. Having to put everything away after every card in time for dinner is such a pain it often puts me off. Once I get my room I can close the door and leave cards half done if I want so can craft any spare minute I get. Cant wait!

I`m A Winner

I am soooooo chuffed.......my last card has won Clare`s Sketch Challenge over on Docrafts!
I was feeling really rubbish today but was over the moon so see that I was a winner.Thanks Clare!

Clare`s Sketch Challenge

This is a challenge that I found over on the Docrafts website from Clare Curd. Most of this card was made up from a TSV I bought last year from QVC but hadn`t had chance to use. The flower and buttons were from my stash. This will be for Mother`s Day from my boys.

Lil Bro

I have had a busy week off.....but a nice one!
Mom came to stay for the week which has been great, help with the kids and lots of laughs. Managed to fill each day with boring house stuff including a leak in the bathroom and finishing my sons bedroom. I havent managed any crafting this week, this is a card I did a couple of weeks ago ready for my lil Bro`s birthday.

This image was a gift from Vicki, if you check out her blog she has some fab cards with this image. I stamped the sentiment and coloured the image with watercolours. The paper is Basic Grey..Off Beat and Bazzil cs. I used ribbon from my stash and brads from Dovecraft.

I am hoping to make a start on my Mothers day cards this week.....so I am on the lookout for ideas!

Happy Valentines Day!

I`ve just got back from a fab weekend with my Hubby. We have shopped til we dropped, eaten gorgeous food and partied too....heaven.


Now I am back to the real world with a week off from work with my boys and my Mom staying with us. I am looking forward to chillin out after finishing off my youngest son Marshalls bedroom....he`s driving me mad to get it finished.
This is the card I sent to Hubby, he said he really liked it....but a card is a card to him!
I used paper from my stash with a layer of core dinations cs to get the red torn edge.The sentiment and hearts were freebie stamps from Cardmaking and Papercraft mag. Ribbon and gems from my stash.
Thanks for the warm welcome back, you are all so kind.
