Because you are Wonderful

Morning all, well spring has well and truly sprung, isn't it beautiful I even spent a couple of hours in the garden yesterday.

Here's a card I made last night for my Mum, this is a nearly new card in that apart from a couple of things it is all from my new birthday stash.

Gorgeous Desert Bloom and Love Letters papers
Lily of the Valley's Rosy Posie coloured with copics
Doily cut with Cheery Lynn French Pastry die
Bazill Kraft
Bakers Twine
and finally some lovely flowers and a sizzix swirl and Viva Pearl pen

Ooops forgot

I promised to show what goodies I bought with my birthday money





Think I might have gone a bit mad, but it's only your birthday once a year and to top it all off I won some blog candy off the lovely Kitty that ended on my birthday.



Here are some of the lovely handmade cards I received from my Craft club members and Docraft buddies, thanks to Teresa, Suzanne, Sandra, Jane and CraftyJane x




Better get on and use some of it now.

French themed fan and a card

Hi there,

Just had to show you this wonderful creation I received in the post yesterday, it made my day I can tell you.

Over on the Art & Soul swap the last challenge was to make a french themed fan and I was the lucky recipient of Valery Anne's

Look at all the beautiful stitching


It's going to take pride of place in my work area - thank you Valery Anne.

On to a card I made the other day, I really can't seem to get going, it doesn't help that I can't get to my desk because the kids are using the computer, think I'm going to have to move it.

Anyway, here's my all time favourite Kitchen Tilda with my all time favourite papers Vintage Shabby by Tim Holtz and a piece of Magnolia's newsprint. The recipe is from LoV's new range.


Right I'm off to make a challenge card, be back soon, hopefully

How time flies

I can't believe it's over two weeks since I posted anything, I have been crafting honestly. Just to prove it here are some of my latest creations.

Gone Fishing



Pilkington Lane



It's my birthday tomorrow so as I've not got any trips to the shows planned I'm making up for it and ordering lots of new goodies, will let you see what I get very soon.

In the meantime I've got to dash round with the mop and bucket then off for a girly lunch with youngest daughter, Mum and Auntie. I'm going to be a little fat piggy this week as I was out with an old school friend yesterday too.

Have a great day,

Hello Friend

Morning all and what a lovely sunny one it is too.

Here's a card I made last night, first one I've made in ages start to finnish. I used some lovely Kaisercraft papers called Secret Bird Society, hand stitched using the Easy Sew and the lovely Lili of the Valley image Swing Time coloured with Copics with a Whiff of Joy sentiment.
