Hi everyone.....  well what a busy but fabulous weekend I have had.....A crafter's delight!.... it began on Saturday morning by attending a make and take event hosted by my friend Linda the intention was to chatter about anything and everything, drink lots of tea and coffee, munch on biscuits and make cards!.... well that's exactly what we did, the time went so fast and we had such a giggle with fabulous people, then at some point we dived into the stamping up goodie box ....ooooh such joy! below is a little taster of what i made, a special thank you goes to "Annie" for showing us all how the chalks blend so well into each other ;-)  to Linda for her hard work and for hoovering up the night before ;-) and to Linda's Mum for boiling the kettle constantly through the day!....here's to the next

Hubby's Birthday cards with a hint of Shamrock .....

....It was my Hubby's Birthday on St Patrick's Day and here is the cards i did for him...the first is a double easel card using a stamp from the forever friends collection,  i made this at my friends workshop (well i couldn't make it at home he would have seen it lol) and the other card is also forever friends from the cd collection .... and to finish both cards there is a punched shamrock ( wonder if St patrick would have liked these :-) lol.....

ooops is it really Friday again......

Hi Everyone, well its not intentional to stay in on a Friday night and blog but  really don't know where the time has gone this week and I have been on holiday from work too! ..... On a crafting note I have started another collection , Crafter's Companion S.W.A.L.K, I couldn't resist purchasing 4 of these stamps  from my friend ( who just happens to own a craft shop lol) but they are lovely stamps, I have made quite a few cards using various colour ways but I seem to have only used one stamp so far! I have decided to share with you the first card I made with them and I hope you like it, I think they are irresistible and was even quite impressed that a friend of mine bought the stamps too and she doesn't do cute (you know who you are lol)  I will post more later , just a taster for now lol........X

A Friday night hello to Molly Bloom's




Evening everyone !

it’s Friday night and spent earlier this evening creating a stretch card, couldn’t resist introducing Molly Bloom to my collection and just to “say hello” I have used the free gifts that was in a magazine I bought a couple of months ago ( simply cards and paper crafts) .... There will be more cards to follow later in the month as I have my eye on one or two in the new collection! .....and one never knows what mother’s day may bring lol!


I saw this design of stretch card earlier in the week and I have had a go myself from memory and I don’t think it looks too bad ...see what you think?



I have to sign off and put all my crafty things away now (sighs) and have some hubby cuddle time.....Be back blogging soon bloggers....X

Birthday Wishes .....

Hi everyone...well I have been quiet on my blog but very busy.....March is a busy crafting time as I have so many Birthday cards to do for family and friends, and so much to do in my full time day job....i wanted to share the first card I have made this month for my Friend (fave) ...so difficult to make a card for him as he doesn’t do “fussy” and definitely not “ cute”  ...well what a surprise and relief for me when I discovered Barbara Gray had designed a “Scottish” themed set for the  “Secc” event in Glasgow recently, as my friend comes from Salcoats in wee bonny Scotland I just had to design a card using the stamp set! ....it’s his Birthday today so will sign off with happy Birthday wishes to Gordon.... I’ll be back blogging soon bloggers... X
