From the Heart Stamps Challenge & Happy Sixth Anniversary

Hello, I'm here to share a card and some flowers... 

the card uses From the Heart Stamps Birthday Candle Birdbrain from the monthly challenge 
and would seem I'm just in time as the challenge finishes tomorrow. 


I've made a wee card using up some scrap papers I had in my craft room 
and coloured the image using my Spectrum Noirs! The flowers and candy are from Craftwork Cards. 

and here are my beautiful flowers
and choccies at the bottom, these are from my smashing hubbie for our 6th wedding anniversary
which was last Monday. I was spoilt rotten with more chocolates and a beautiful Rennie Macintosh style silver heart. And tomorrow is my birthday so i'm to get spoiled all over again. February really is my favourite month.

From the Heart Stamps Kittie and Happy New Year!


Hello and a Very happy New Year to you!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas? 

I've not been very well over Christmas, a rather long story that I'd prefer not to go back over.... but I'm on the mend and back at work :) actually I have a new job I just work in the mornings now which is fab and a huge very welcome change for my wee family.

I'm just here quickly to share a new wee card I've made


In November our pet Blink was very poorly, it turned out she had kidney failure
and unfortunately we had to make the tough decision to have her put to sleep. We miss her terribly as she was a wonderful pet, a great character and our first baby. She was beautiful, a white kittie with another cats tail :-) So when this image was made available from From The Heart Stamps
I thought she'd be perfect to be our blinkie blue.
The kittie was coloured with Spectrum Noirs, the hearts were cut with Xcut dies. The sentiment and papers are from Craftwork Cards and the ribbon was a gift from my mum.

Ok I must go to bed, thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great day.

Here is the kit, there's lots of things to keep a wee or big kid busy on 
Christmas eve getting ready for Santa to visit. 


I've decorated the good bag using pre-coloured images from cuddly buddly and the wee snowman head on the snowman kisses is from Meljen and coloured using Spectrum Noirs.

Some Christmas Cards

Hello, 

Well my daughter is back to school today after her first half term last week and I was a little worried she wouldn't want to go back to school, but she was very excited to see her wee friends and was really good settling in this morning with Daddy. 

I've been catching up on boring tasks like sorting out emails and household chores...boo, well now it's time for crafting for a couple of hours before I go and pick Boo up from school at 3:15....Hurray.

I thought I'd share a couple of piccies of some Christmas cards I've been making for my facebook shop. 

Father Christmas stamp from the latest Crafters Companion Magazine, 
papers from DoCrafts, bauble and gold sentiment
 from craftwork cards. 

Papers from Do Crafts, Baubles and sentiment from Craftwork Cards and card from Papermill.

Enjoy your day folks
hugs

My first post



Good morning and welcome to my shiny new blog!

I hope you are all well and the recent bad weather has not affected you or your family too much.

I don't want to post too much on my first post so straight to the cards.

Here are a couple of cards I've made for some friends at work.

My first customer - this card was made for a friends brothers 21st.

and this card was made for my friends birthday.

Both images were coloured with Spectrum Noirs, the paper flowers on the second card were handmade by me :-) 

Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you have a lovely day
hugs
