It's a lovely day.

It's a lovely day outside ... but  I haven't really done much of anything with it... I've stamped a few images.. and made two cards.. not much to show for a whole day.  I don't know where the time has gone.

But I must admit I've enjoyed my lazy day..... I've looked at my 4x8 QK Alphabets..and realised that there's a few I've not even used.. so  I have plans for those.

I've used my copics.. haven't done that for a while.

I've cut my new doily lace heart die.. that's so Lorna can see what it's like

I've found some falling flowers for my website.  Pretty aren't they.  Later on if I really make an effort I could try out my new Martha Stewart punch.. so that I can show Lorna how sweet it is.  But until then I think some more chilling is in order to enjoy this really lovely lazy day!

Magnolia Cont.....

Just want to post my very quick layout using the  magnolia pics I snapped yesterday.
.

It wouldn't cross my mind normally to scrap something from the garden..but this bush has grown with us over a 20 year period.. and I thought it deserved a L/O all of it's own as it looked  so pretty.
Here's  my "get it done in an hour" quickie  L/O
Thats all for today... I have to go sing now!  bye......

Magnolia and I don't mean the stamps

The Magnolia bush in the garden was looking so pretty today I decided to take a quick pic using my phone camera to post on the blog.

It smells devine and it just a mass of white flowers.

I also have some pictures that I sneaked when Rachael wasn't looking.  Again clicked with the trusty phone camera .

The little cat card was a quick draw for a friends birthday who had just arrived back from Florida... note the little Mini Mouse ears on the fairy cake.

I'm almost embarassed to show you what' I've half made.(The one on the left is not quite finished)

I just love the expression on the little girls face.  I must admit it's one of my fav digi stamps. Thanks Mo

The one on the right is a Digi Stamp from Heather-(Available on EtsyPure Innocence digi stamps)

These stamps are so sweet.  It's the simpliciy of them that I really love such an honest little image.  How can you not love them.

The last stamp I have to thank Drea for.

Ahh isn't she a darling.  Just need to add some flowers to this one.

Have a good week.

                                                                     

Happy Mothers Day

I was so pleased with my mothers day card I had to post it.

I think it's so sweet and is more precious to me than  Gold or Riches.

I'm building up quite a collection of my daughters cards I'm happy to say.



Below is my Scrapyland Starting Blox submission... not my greatest I must admit I rushed this one.  But not because I left it till the last minute.. i've just felt really tired this week.

I used this picture of Rachael because I love the  look on her face.. it's a so totally wicked blissfully happy smile.

I have made some cards this week.. but yet again forgotten to take  pictures of them before I put them in the post box... Will I ever learn lol  I think not, as I get older I get worse.!


Have a .

Happy Mothers Day!

It's the weekend.

I have a lovely long weekend to look forward to.  Don't go back to work until Wednesday.

Here's a little card I made with the Stampin Up Top Note die made by Sizzix.

There are so many things you can use this die for.. I'm so greatful that it's in my colletion.

The little mouse if of course Penny Black and the ink used were colour box chalk inks.

I've also kept my new years resolution to do more scrapbook pages.. here's one it did recently for the Scrapyland blog (Susan makes us do two a month)

Its my husband at our local bay..This was the first time out with my new camera... I think I need to practice more or maybe join a camera club . 

I was looking for a tin to make over and found this in Tesco's.  It's spanish hot chocolate.. wickedly delicous, very very thick.. and a must for everyones cupboard.. Best eaten with a few minstrels.( british chocolates). Plus  you get to keep the tin.. what more can a girl ask for.

Have a good weekend.

Some Mothers Pride

I should be working on things for my blog.. but my daughter came home this evening on a flying visit. We've been looking at animation on the internet.. and found a site that had us in stitches.
Lorna make sure you show this one to Charlie

I also managed to sneak one of my daughters latest drawings.(I'm not normally aloud to see them)

 I must admit when I first saw this I thought it was a photograph.. then she told me it was one of her paintings..
To say I felt proud was an understatement.
So nothing from me today.. Just a proud Mam enjoying her daughters Talent. :o)

Monday..Monday

Monday...Monday

That's another weekend overwith. So what lies ahead for us this week.

Doctors, Dentist maybe a little craft shopping. Scrapbooking. Make a few cards.

I made this for a friend who is a craft teacher. So I had to make an effort.  Her favorite colour is Purple if you hadn't guessed. I love these stamps from rubber romance.  I have quite a few and purchase mine from Etsy.

I've managed to scrap another L/O.It's a starting blox from the Scrapyland Website.  I am determind to make more of an effort this Year. 

I've never had time to make cards in advance. But with the remainder of my time off work.  I'm going to make a bit of an effort to use my favorite stamps over the next few weeks. Fingers crossed for another post before the end of the month. Until then

Happy Crafting
