Invitation Swap

Hey the sun is out again woohoo! Looks like summer is really on it's way;) Just thought I'd share a few pics of a swap I entered on ILWS, the theme being invitations for various ocassions.



This one is by Linda (aka Lindamollyellen) - Birthday invite



This one is mine - Christening invite


This one is by Margaret (aka Margaret Rose) - Wedding invitations



This one is by Jo Austin (aka Paperlily) - Birth Announcement



And last but not least this is by Joanna (aka Stampoholic) - Dinner Party invite.

Thanks so much ladies for all your lovely samples and ideas, it was fun to do:)

April Birthdays

This tends to be one of my busiest months for birthdays and things, my eldest son, my mum the FIL, Easter and sometimes mothers day. Just a few cards to show, the first one I made for my son's birthday, he turned a big twelve and I can't believe how fast it has gone, I still remember every detail of his birth - worst experience of my life but beautiful bundle of gorgeousness! The second card and gift bag are for my mums birthday yesterday and the third one is for her too but from the boys (suppose the word nan is a bit of a giveaway.....lol)









Thanks for taking the time to look and hope you enjoy the rest of this lovely weekend:)

Forgot to Post....

Just a few cards that I have made and not posted, so thought I would just share them with you.



This card I made for my lovely upline Monica for her birthday. (Hope you liked it:)




An altered note book using the simply scrappin kit "Petal Party." Asda were selling these for 50p each (bargain!)




This is the card I made for my mum for Mother's Day using acrylic paints with my rubber stamps and the flower is made using SU scallop circle punch.

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for visiting:)

APFP Challenge

Oooow another gorgeous day, what have we done to deserve this then.....lol I think I was a bit late yesterday with my card for the Stamp with Us challenge, so thought I'd get in quick with this one!

This week at A Passion for Papertrey the required element (does that sound familiar....lol dancing on ice!) is to use fabric on your card. Not as easy as it might sound but managed to do it (just.)



Well best get back to the Sunday dinner - late again, as usual.

Stamp with Us!

Gosh I don't were the days are going but they are certainly going fast! The challenge over at Stamp With Us is a colour challenge to make a card (or anything you fancy) using pink and orange. For a short while I must admit I had a mental block but once I started I couldn't stop and even managed two cards for the challenge:) Hope to just make it in time!




Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the good weather:)
