Mothers Day cards for Easter

Oh well bit behind....
Here are a few of the cards I made for Mothers day for the girls at work to give to their Mums.
Happy Easter All and look what candy I just found    A Bit of Easter Candy!
pop over to Stamping Caz blog to see her candy.

This is a Magnolia I know they dont come in red (or I dont think so) but that was the request! Various punches used, coloured paper and pens, with a tad of patients.

 Another card made a while ago adapted for Mothers day, the original shape card was Craftwork Cards but I now cut my own as I dont think they do them any more. A few Daisy punches and some peel off letters.

 I hope you are all having a lovely sunny Bank Holiday weekend. I have just been for an hours walk in our local park Beddington, its lovely walking in the shade under the trees along the river (wandle) watching all the baby coots, geese and ducks, and the bbq's are out it smelt gorgeous and they nearly got mugged for there food....
enjoy the sun and Happy Crafting xx

Wedding Task

Sorry I have been such a bad blogger! I have no excuse but laziness, been making but not had time to show!
Anyway now I'm back and here is a little project I have just completed for a friends sons wedding which was yesterday and what a lovely day it was down here in the south, hope it was the same for the rest of the country.This was a little something for her daughter in law to be. I tried to tie in the colours of the bridesmaid dresses on the roses and ribbons.

 Of course lots of hearts and a sloppy poem.

And now for the card (Iris folded) This seems to be one of the most popular in my collection, it must be because I hate doing it....... The overall effect is pretty tho!

A day out visiting a new craft shop to me yesterday Art of Craft in Farnborough, such a shame I was disappointed. Too spoilt I suppose with the lovely Glitter Pot. Hope all you crafters who went to Ally Pally had fun and did not spend too many pennies. Happy crafting xx

Happy Birthday June

Sorry not back with Warren rabbit yet! although he is on the way... I thought I would show you the card I made for my mate Junie Moon the other week. The flower and leaves are all made out of one EK sucsess punch with all the shapes on, with a bit of shaping you get a nice simple flower, not as fiddly as the usual floral punch craft. Of course I had to make it in purple her favorite colour. The paper was from Doodlebug and I used a Martha Stewart border punch down the side.

I can not believe we are half way through March and my how the weather has changed, it's so cold again but at least the sun is out. One blink and the weekend has gone again already, please can we have another day! wouldn't it be lovely. Oh well back to work tomorrow to earn some more pennies to pay for some more lovely craft goodies. Have a lovely week x

Sweet Strawberry

I wanted to make a card with a strawberry theme, so I had doodlebug strawberry paper Magnolia strawberry stamp with little Tilda perched on top, I just had to add a butterfly and some stickles. Coloured with Copics.

What a fab day I had yesterday, I made a last minute hasty decision and went to the Make it show at Farnborough. Thanks for a lovely day Fiz. Well the roads were clear and made it in record time, apart from the rain! Parked straight away right outside with no queuing and had a brill time and spent far too much. Just wait till you see little Warren Craftwork cards new bunny release, I just fell in love with him and what the wonderful Julie Hickey had done with him, such a clever lady. Also as usual the lovely Jackie was bringing to life the little Lili of the valley characters. Oh and had to bet a buggy ride back to the car with all the shopping....... As it is nice and bright today I must fly and make the most of it and do some colouring. Take care and happy crafting.

Pretty Fairy

I just finished this card for one of my work colleagues and decided to enter it for the Lili of the valley  challenge week 84 - my favorite colours I am very fond of these fairy die cuts, even tho I do feel its cheating a tad!
I used a Cuttlebug alphabet for the lettering and a ex success daisy punch with some craftcreation sparkly dots in the centre of the flowers.

I had a fantastic day at Chickenshack yesterday and it brightened my day to see all my lovely crafting buddies. It just went too quick and as usual did not get much achieved. But came home with some lovely inspirational ideas which I will be posting soon, I hope. Hope you all have a fab week and happy crafting xx

I am still here sorry!

Oh dear I can not believe we are in Feb already, where is this year going and the weeks are just flying by. I have been making quite a few birthday cards but just not got round to adding then to my blog but I promise I will. Oh great the cat has just come in an climbed over me in my white top with muddy paw prints, more washing. Why oh why cant they learn to wipe their paws when they come in.... Oh and while im on the cat Daisy in particular this time do you have to bring a mouse in and loose it, yes I now live with two cats and a mouse. I just hope they find it soon. Any way on to my cards, I do love this little lilli of the valley chap for a mans card, I have also coloured one it in sepia tones which I will show later.

Oh and a special Birthday as one of the girls in the office has reached her half a century and deserved a special card so out came the roses again. I love making these and they are so effective.

I wish the rain would go away and we could have some of the lovely sunshine back we had earlier in the week!  it does make us all feel so much better. Happy blogging xx
