Spring Colours!

Good Morning!

It's a rather dreary day today so i hope to cheer you a little with my spring coloured card!

I am liking the green and yellow together it looks very fresh and clean.

I think it looks especially nice with the Kraft!

Well i would say that as i use it on basically everything, don't think i will ever get fed up with my love of Kraft! lol x

Have you spotted the big bow on the right hand side -Well i love bows but bows don't love me!!

I really do get my fingers in a twist and can never find my Bow easy when i want it - typical!!

Well on this occasion it was made with my bare hands, complete and utter fluke it came out so well, i was really pleased!

However i have now found my bow easy and it has a new home right in front of my eyes on my craft desk as i have had a bit of a sort out.

I will be entering my card into

Cake Galore!

Hullo, hullo,

Here i am with a tri shutter card today -aren't these just a nightmare to photo!!

Lots of cake on this one, my friends daughter absolutely loves her sweet things and everybody knows her so well as most of her presents were chocolate related!!

It was Shannon's birthday at the beginning of the week and i am sure she is still working her way through the goodies!!
As always lots of sparkle and shininess from the glossy accents but alas it never shows in me photos!

So annoying!!!

You can probably tell and they do not need any introduction really but i have used my fave Elzybells stamps, i really must have a stamp for every occasion in my stash - i am still mourning the death of the website sadly, but am pleased that some of her images are now being sold through Penny Black! hoorah!

Unfortunately at the moment it is the ones i already have so i will be keeping my fingers crossed that new ones pop through!

It was my Mum's birthday yesterday and we went for a lovely meal, it was the first meal out my mum has had since she broke her pelvis so it was a great achievement for her and she really enjoyed herself she is slowly getting back to normal just needs to boost her confidence a bit while walking out and about.

Obviously i eat far too much and still feel full this morning , yup not sure the scales will be nice to me this week at fat fighters i best make meself some super speed soup - although work colleagues may groan as it makes me a little windy - ok more than a little windy!!!

I wonder if you are still popping by to see if i have made anything recently as it has been a little while since i posted - nearly a month! eek!

Time just seems to be passing by so quick but i have been busy - maybe not in the crafty way sadly!

In a nutshell i celebrated my birthday yup yet another year older sadly not wiser !

We were skiing in Bulgaria when it was my birthday so celebrated in the snow and believe me there was lots of it! I can't believe you also had some snow delivered here too and i have heard there is more on the way!

My eldest son also proposed to his girlfriend on the slopes so we also celebrated an Engagement lots of bubbly was had! (maybe too much lol but it was a special occasion!)

Oh yeah and to top it all we came home to a flooded bedroom - grrrrrr !!!!

Hence the lack of blogging !!!

My aim is to play catch up with everyone soon as i feel i have neglected my bloggy friends for far too long.

I hope you have all been well and been creating as i need lots of inspiration to get me back into the swing of things x

Yes you do detect Kraft!!! sorry but not got over the addiction for this stuff yet I think it's here forever!!

I sat and coloured her the other night while watching TV, I am quite pleased as I wasn't in very good light - no close ups please!! hee hee

A very Spring type card today, very soft and pastelly in fact not a good photo at all it does look very wishy washy, think I am using the wrong camera setting!

Doh! silly me x

I have used a fab Sketch over at Stamptacular Sunday, one i will be using again

definitely.

I have used lots of die cuts on here, magnolia fence die, martha stewart grass punch and nestabilitie dies, not forgetting my SU tab punch!!

The papers are very old Imaginisce unfortunately can't remember the names but they are very pretty.

There are so many great challenges at the moment but not enough hours in the day for me!!

Hi de Hi,

I found these circular cards in a drawer so thought I would have a go and make a card with them and decided on some lovely bright turquoise and pinks colours I think they look fab together!!

A really cute image by Penny Black, i'm not sure what this is called as someone had kindly stamped it for me x

I will use this as a card from one of the kids to my mum as she has a birthday coming up in February, nothing like getting organised!!

As she cherishes all of my cards I think it is safe to say she is worthy of all my new pink gems I have placed around the scallop lol x

I am not sure if this style card has a name but Kim Fee used it on a class at Craftsulove and all of the ladies loved it!
