Not a Mention of '50'!

Still here, just not had much time to craft though but did manage to make this card for a lady in work who turned the big '50' although we couldn't mention it because she wasn't very happy about it (eek!) so just had to pretend it was a normal birthday.



It's quite a big square card, so everyone could sign it and although I wasn't around when she opened it (no I wasn't scared...lol) the feedback was that she liked it (phew!) All materials are SU apart from the letters and numbers which are cut using my Cricut machine and mirror card and balloon peel offs from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Birthday Cards and a Sick Boy :(

Just when I thought I had a day to craft and catch up with all the birthday cards I need to make, I gets a phone call from school to say my little one feels "sick and wobbley" don't you just love how they express themselves (bless him.) I must admit at first I thought, he was fine this morning, only to remember that yesterday whilst we were visiting hubby's sister her new puppy caught Nicholas' finger whilst he was playing with him (and drew blood) and I thought maybe that had something to do with it. Anyway finger is fine but little one is a sleep on the couch - now I know he's out of sorts as he only sleeps during the day when he's sick :(

So I have managed to get two out of the four birthday cards finished and hopefully will fit another one in before son No.1 arrives home from school. This one I made for a lady from my craft group I go to, in case you haven't guessed she's 70!..... I guess the numbers are a give away hey!....lol

The papers are K&Co and the cardstock is SU. I made those gorgeous little flowers using a Marianne Design die.

This one will make one of my friends smile as I have recycled the birthday card she made for my sons birthday a few weeks ago (I've pinched the image from it....lol) Today is my cousins little boys birthday and he soooo loves Mario!



Ok, back to tend to my little sick man, he's so good when he's ill, he never murmurs (bless him.)

Girly Night

Just thought I'd post these quickly, on route to the kitchen to make dinner....lol any excuse. Did a small class last week with some close friends and my mum and this is one of the cards we made, totally inspired by one of my favourite lady's of course, the lovely Jenny Moors! The photo's are not very good I'm afraid, the light is starting to go now but I just love these colours together - baja breeze, soft suede and very vanilla and those pearls are to die for! If you haven't tried them already I strongly recommend them, gorgeous!!!




Well, back to work tomorrow after the half-term and only 6 more weeks until the next one...lol I'm so loving this term-time job, so many holidays ;)

Have a good week!

Lost Treasures!

Good morning (yes I know it's Monday) well hope it is anyway. Just a really quick post from me today, just so you know I haven't gone off on one again ....lol

This was a thank you present I sent to a blogging buddy ages ago and thanks to RM she never did receive it. I was quite annoyed about it as by the time I'd paid the postage on it, it all added up to quite a few pounds not to mention the time I'd put into doing it (which I did enjoy.)



All products are Stampin'Up! but unfortunately the ribbon and 'yummy' stamp are retired but if you would like to order any SU products just drop me an email at sweetswirls@hotmail.co.uk and remember SU now accept Credit or Debit card payments, which does makes it so much easier!

Have a good week.
