Good evening folks.........well its been a miserable day here in Lancashire, we've been inundated with visitors today but managed to get this card done for one of my customers, she'd seen the cat card on my blog & wanted it very similar to that, but for a new baby girl!

We're doing a craft fair tomorrow so hoping for nice weather, its indoors but apparently a lot of walkers pass by................ so fingers crossed

See you soon xx

Something a bit different from me


today, thought I'd try my hand at making a couple of bracelets for a change, have had the stuff for ages but never got round to doing it, OH tends to make them instead

Must say I did enjoy making them so I might do some more, what do you think???

Good afternoon crafters, well its not a very nice day here, but were off to a friends tonite, so I know we'll be having some good laughs later on

Enjoy your weekend & happy crafting xxxxxxxx

A quickie card.........


Good evening folks, it turned out to be a lovely day here, have had my niece & nephew stay for a few days so have been ultra busy with them, plenty of walks with the dogs, going to the park & we took them crabbing yesterday & they loved it!!

My sister came to pick them up this afternoon & asked me if I could make her a card for a friend at work, so I 'threw' this together lol, her name is pronounced Joanne but its an unusual spelling

Not had any time to find out if it fits any challenges but there's always my next card!

Happy Birthday Earthling


Good afternoon bloggers, we have some lovely weather here altho its a tad windy.

I've made this card for a friends son who loves anything to do from outer space, the image I received in a swap a while ago & I thought it would come in handy for this card.
Thought I'd have a bash at entering a couple of challenges with this card, have only ever entered 1 challenge & that was when I first set up my blog

New Baby Girl Card


After a few more ups & downs with my health, I'm starting to feel somewhat 'normal' again, whatever that is, lol

Its been so long since I've done any crafting that I cant remember where my cardstock is from, I think its from the Papertrie shop in Scotland. Sentiment is computer generated.

I really hope to be back in blogland more often & I'm going to try & enter some challenges!!

See you soon xx
