Hi, hope everyone is well, sorry I've got no cards to show you at the moment, it's been a bit of a busy week with the kids, but I'm hoping to get round to having a play soon, I've missed it, I did start to make my daughters Easter bonnet last night so when I get round to finishing it I will take a picture to show you, and let me know what you think, my husband opinion is not always that helpful.

I've never been very good at making boys cards, so I thought I had better keep trying this is what I have come up with, I just want to add flowers or ribbon to it, I think it looks funny without all the pretty stuff.
I can't believe how fast half term has come around, it feels like Christmas was not that long ago, I thought I would plan a couple of things to keep the kids busy and not get bored!!! I think we're going to go bowling one day out for a nice long walk another and maybe the cinema to see Gnomeo and Juliet.

What a day so far, I'm feeling a lot better than what I was last week, so I thought I had better make an effort and  go to school to help, but on the way there my daughter fell off her scooter head first, so I took a trip up to 
A and E, she's ok, other than a massive bump on her head, I can't believe how big it is.
I did go to the craft fair with my mum yesterday, it was quite a nice day out and I'm pleased to say that I did not really spend to much money only got a couple of bits and pieces.
Made this card up over the weekend nothing to exciting, but I could not get in the mood (this must mean I really was ill!!)

Morning everyone, hope your all well. I've not been to well over the last couple of days and have done no crafting at all, but today I'm starting to feel better, so I might try and make a card this afternoon.
In Brighton this week end they have got a craft fair and I'm keeping my fingers cross that I feel well enough to go tomorrow.

Afternoon everyone, what a beautiful day it is today. It was quite frosty here this morning, but the sun was out. I love waking up to that kind of weather. It got me thinking about summer, (not that I'm much of a summer person, I love the snow!!) anyway, the weather is what made me dig out this stamp and have a play, I've had this stamps for a while and only used it a couple of times, but I love the way she stamps and she is so easy to colour.
Hope you all have a lovely day and enjoy the sunshine, while we have it!!!

Hi, hope everyone had a good weekend. I had to pop to The Glitter Pot on Saturday, because I run out of double sided tape and a couple of extra things made it into my basket, whoops.
I made this card with some paper that I found in a kids craft pack I was so pleased cause I can never find animal print paper, the boarder punch was MS and the Happy Birthday tag was from Craftwork Cards the stamp was from  ladybug crafts ink She's so cute.

Pleased to say that Larna is getting better slowly. I think I might take her out to get some fresh air today, I've also run out of double sided tape so may have to stop at a craft shop!!!
I made the above card is for a friend. She asked me to make five baby boy cards so I kept it simple the blue paper is Bazzill and the stamps are from an old Woodware set that I've had for about 5 years.
I'm really annoyed because when I was tidying up I broke the bears leg off, I suppose I should look on the bright side, I need to go shopping to buy a new bear!!!
Hope you all have a nice weekend.xxx

Thanks to everyone that sent me luck on my assessment yesterday, it went ok, I was just so nervous cause Louise my assessor had to record what I was saying on a tape player and it just made me stutter a lot.
Don't you just love this image  I got him from Pixie Dust Studio a while back and have only just coloured him in, not sure where I got the treasure chest from but I had to fill it with some gold and I also put a black pearl in it!!!
Don't think I've ever seen Captain Jack Sparrow in action but I'm sure one  the film titles had something to do with a black pearl.

This is a card that I made last night for a friends birthday this weekend. He is a magician, so I thought this card was perfect for him. I got the digi stamp from Bugaboo and the papers are from my stash.
I've got my assessment up at school today and I'm getting a little nervous I hope it goes well. I'm just off to check my work to make sure I have everything I need.

Can you believe just when I thought Larna was better, we wake up this morning and find she has a really high temperature and a headache, poor little thing, I've dosed her up and at the moment she is asleep tuck up under a blanket. Fingers crossed she'll be better soon. I've got an assessment at school tomorrow so I've got my sister coming over to look after Larna. I feel a bit guilty because she has about 50 min drive to get over here.
Here is a card that I just had to make, the image is just so cute. It's a digi image and I got it from Bugaboo the paper is a mixture of Magnolia and Doodlebug.
