Hello Bloggers!

Well, been very busy so I am sorry I haven't posted. I will try and do more postings.

I am making 70 Wedding Invites, which I will share with you as soon as I am able. I am very excited about it :)

Thought I would post this card that I made for my son James - colours are not brilliant, not sure why.

The bird was green...so not sure why the photo is showing it as brown, but you get the idea. Its using Tim Holtz Crazy Birds and Crazy things. James loved it. I am going to experiment with the stamps when I get some time.

Enjoy your day.

A couple more cards.

Hi Bloggers!

I had a lovely day at the NEC yesterday spending money on more stamps etc. It wasn't as busy as normal which was much better if you wanted to get around and look at the stalls.

First card to share is for my friends Barbara and Keith Lea who celebrated their anniversary this week. I popped over to see them before taking Doris back to the vet.

This card was made with background papers and a stamp from Little Claire's. The die cut butterfly has a bit of sparkle on it.

This card was made for a friend of Lettie's who was having a baby shower. The stamps are from Stamping Up - and as you can guess, she is having a baby girl :)

I will share more of my cards with you later this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

A few more cards......

Hi Bloggers!

I just wanted to share a few more with cards with you:

These were made with Little Claire's stamps at the crafting day. The blue card has an acetate front and the green one is a box design - all designed by Helen Nile. Still a few more of these to share from the day.

Today I have made an anniversary card and a birthday card that I will share when they have reached their destination.

Enjoy your day :)

And some more cards........ Oh and a Basset or two :)

Hi Bloggers!

I wanted to introduce you to my Bassets first. Hugo at the back who is now 8yrs old and Doris at the front who is 15months and is from Basset rescue. She is a dappy bird with a few hangups! She has been part of our family since May 2015 and we are her 5th home!

Onto my cards:

This one was made for Jackie who is my son James's partner. This was for her birthday in October 2015. This was made with a stamp from Little Claire's - coloured in Promarkers.

This is a reindeer box that I made for my Grandson Charlie for Christmas. I filled it with sweeties for him. A fun think that I made with my Silhouette Portrait.

I also made this Tic Tac boxes for Christmas with my Silhouette Portrait and will be making more for this year. 

This is the Anniversary card I made for Greg and Lucy - This was inspired by Pinterest :)

Lastly, a couple of cards made at The Little Claire's Cardmaking day. These were designed by Helen Nile and using the lovely stamps by Little Claire.

I will try and update my newly designed blog more regularly. Thanks for popping by and please do try and leave me a message to say you have visited.

Hi Bloggers!

Charlie (My Grandson) wanted a Christmas card - he loves reindeers and I added some bells.

Happy Crafting!

And there is more....

Hi Bloggers

I just wanted to share with you a couple of cards recently made:

This card was cut with my Silhouette Portrait for a friend of mine Janet and finished with some pearls. Quiet pleased with it on the shiny pearl card.

This card was made with my Lily of the Valley stamp that was purchased a few years back. I need to practice that colouring a bit but overall I was pleased with the outcome.

Happy Crafting Bloggers!
