Craft Night.

Just a quick post this morning, got to go shopping (groan.) Last week I went to Keren's house, (my friend and fellow demo) and we had a lovely night just crafting and chatting. So these are a few of the cards we made, there is another one but I haven't quite finished putting it together yet (too much chatting) but as soon as I do I will show it.



This one is Keren's design, I love the simplicity of it and will definitely use this layout again.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Disney Time!

Wow, it's been awhile, where did August go then....lol and here we are halfway through September which means only 2 more weeks until the release of the new Stampin'Up! catalogue....woohoo!!!!

I'm struggling to take in how fast the time is passing, my children are getting so big and grown up. It feels like my eldest started high school last year but nope, it was 2 years ago and now he starts in Year 9 (3rd year to some of us.....lol) and this year decides on his options - he's so excited (bless him) hope he's still this excited in another 12 mths. .....lol.

Anyway, here are a couple of cards I made for commissions, I do love making these cards they always looks so good (even if I do say so myself......lol)

Both cards were made using my Cricut machine and Disney cartridges.

Sorry for the short post but I'm so tired, think I might go to bed now :)

Thanks for visiting me.

40th Birthday Card.

Just thought I'd pop back to show you a card I've made for a work colleague who turns the big 40 in a couple of weeks.

Because I've had so many cards to make in a short space of time, I decided to use a digi download to make it quicker, these really are invaluable when you don't have much time. I haven't put any layers on this card just a bit of sparkle and the odd gem.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Polka Doodles Challenge.

This is the first time I've entered the challenge over at Polka Doodles Blog, the theme this week is 'English country garden' and this is my take on it.

The papers, 'orange gingham' and 'easter stripe' I downloaded for free from their website and the stamp (also a polka doodle) was free in this months 'craft stamper' magazine. The 'olive' ribbon is from SU.

Hope you all have a good weekend,

Another Day, Another Card!

Here I am sitting comfortably on the couch, little pink netbook on knee, cup of tea, blogging - this is the life.....lol Oh this is the best thing I ever got, just makes life so much easier (well, may be just the blogging bit...lol) It's glorious sunshine again, which means lots of washing dry and just may be a bit of crafting (yay!)

This is a card I kinda CASed from Julie Kettlewell, hers was much nicer though but just wanted to try the technique and I love the effect.

This is actually my first Christmas card, 22 weeks to go if your interested....lol (scary!)

Oh well, off to sort son No.1 out, he's off to 'splash world' with his friend.

Lovely Break!

Woohoo! Got 6 lovely weeks off for the summer and I'm soooo enjoying them. I've managed to make quite a few cards over the last few weeks for one thing or another but didn't get a chance to photograph them all (bum!) I did remember to take this one though.



A colleague in work was leaving and it was hard not to make it look like a teacher card from one of the children but I tried! It's another digi download and although you can't tell from the pic it's actually decoupaged and has some glaze on it. I made it 8x8 so everyone could sign it.

Well got to go now, postman just knocked on the door with my new 'pink' netbook! (smile, smile, smile!!)

Digi Downloads.

Oh I'm having so much fun with these, they are so quick and easy and they actually look good too. I've never really been a fan of digi downloads but a friend has been making some amazing cards using them, so thought I'd give it ago. I'm hooked!

This one is an 8 x 8 card as it's for work and all the staff need to sign it, quite appropriate too as the little man concerned has his days and nights back to front and mummy and daddy are not getting any sleep (remember it well.)





And this one is for my uncle's 60th Birthday - how cute is this!





Off to make some teacher cards now, ready for the end of term. Hope you all have a good weekend, weather not too bad here, so fingers crossed.
