JUST ANOTHER SUNDAY

Well another sunday in blogland, I have got so many things
I should be doing house work, ironing all the usual stuff
instead i have been making a baby card for my stepmums

granddaughter, she has had a baby girl  in the early hours of
saturday morning.  As I at the moment struggle with my lay outs
i thought i would combine it with the Freshly Made Sketches
challenge

let me know what you think

Two posts, one week

What do you think of the card, totally cased it from an australian blogger, but
when i saw it really caught my eye only thing i changed was background and
sprayed the flower with shimmer spray.  will have to go now promised my
beloved a roast dinner for tea and i am going to make a start on it

see ya

FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES

Happy bank holiday weekend, hope you are enjoying it, mine hasn't been too bad, i decided to have a go at making a rose with my owl punch, i don't think it looks too bad, it will look better once the crystal
effects has dried, i am going to enter this into the freshly made sketches challenge as i havn't done one
for so long

see you soon

i know, its been a long time, in my defence, we have just helped my mum move house, it was
a bit of  a suprise, and helping anyone move can be quite stressful, add your mother into the
mix and you can imagine how bad it can get.  i've also been really busy at work, with holidays
and sickness, hopefully things are going to be better and this week i've got some time off
so i'm going to get some crafting in.  I have made a couple of cards this morning then i shall be

taking my beloved out for lunch, cos he's been brilliant the last few weeks, here's the cards anyway. The first one is a commision for one of my friends who has bought a lot of cards  from
me.
The next one is for my friends daughter who is 2 next week, she's a really girly little girl, and this  pink card  with the fairy paper just seemed right.

 it will not be as long next time

two in one day

well dont drop dead with shock 2 posts in one day, its still raining and i've managed to make another
card, the weather isn't doing much for my creativity, and i know i should be doing housework.
But my friend pam who has been my best customer for the last couple of years wanted a card

for her friend, and having a lack of inspiration i ended up looking through my stampin up catalogue so shamelessly copied here is what i came up with.   It took a lot of the hard work out of the process and i did change it slightly. 
I feel i may as well confess that on saturday evening i relived my youth and went to see the Osmonds at a local theatre, i never managed to see them in their heyday and this is the last tour they are doing so it seemed a good idea and despite the fact that donny wasn't on with them, they were fantastic had a sore throat when i came out from all the singing, isn't it funny how all the words come back to you after about 40 years
Right housework calls

easter washout

what an awful bank holiday weekend we have had, never stopped raining i have been moving my

craft room so i havn't got a great deal of crafting done so i thought i would show you the mothers day card i made for my mum i got the idea from  cards and a cuppa who did it as as a boxed frame just thought the idea was brilliant for a card, luckily mum liked the card this style of card is great if you're
making a large card for a special occassion i've also made something similair for an 21st birthday.
Be back again with some newer work

Scrapbooking

this will come as a shock another post so soon, obviously had a rush of blood to the head.
Last night went to the scrapbooking class i go to every month, run by my good friend
Monica.  Its  her birthday today and it goes without saying i made her a card, the problem
is monica is the person who got me started with crafting 4 years ago and she has been crafting for more years than i care to think about so obviously no pressure to make her a card then!!!

Here is what i came up with, the basic idea i saw on a blog but im not sure where, anyway hopefully monica liked it and is having a special day

see you next time
