Happy 21st Birthday Darling Daughter

Today's the day... My darling daughter in 21 years old.

She's very camera shy...(this is one of the reasons scrap booking is a problem for me... not enough pictures).  So I sneaked a couple of clicks when she wasn'ts looking.

Where's my little blonde baby gone?

She's all grown up.

The birthday card I made was quickly done... and put together very late at night.  Admittedly not my best but Rachael loves Orchids and Cherry blossoms.  She also likes very plain, simply, cards. 

Below is one she made for her Dad which I forgot to post.  I found it on the camera while I was downloading pics this morning.

                           I also wanted to say a big "Thank You" to Lorna.. who sent me a wonderful butterfly die to cheer me up.  Thank you Lorna your such as thoughtful friend.  I love my die..Here's a card I made using my it.

For My Girls

This post is for my girls... sadly no longer with me.
I suppose it's my way of saying goodbye.
To Molly (If ever I had a soul mate she was it) and Megan
My fiery red head...so full of fun and attitude.
My world just isn't the same without them.
They are sorely missed.

Oh My Goodness

Look at the date of my last post.  It's shameful how long it's been since I last submitted some work.

I've made a few cards using some dies that' I  purchased  because they were super cute and made by a very clever lady called Jane.(These dies are exclusives and are available at http://www.scrapyland.com/ )

Mrs Ramsbottom .. the ewe.. has been coloured with cat's eye chalk inks she was cut using different coloured card.  The dragon had been cut from white card and coloured with copics.

I am currently trying to build up my distress ink collection so that I can have a go at colouring with those.

Heres is a quick thank you card . The flower is a Sizziz Die cut in Grunge Board and coloured with Ranger Distress Crackle Paint and Perfect Pearls.

Now for some Scrapbook pages.

Here's my little water baby.  This L/O was completed from a starting blox on the  Scrapyland web site.

You have to submit two a month .. but Susan the lady that publishes the blox is very laid back with us.

The next L/O is a double dog dare form the same site. (Double page blox).

Forgive the quality of the pics... the true colours never seem to quite show through on the blog.

Hope you enjoy looking.

Quick Post

I've been trying to get all my housework done so that I can have some Craft Time.  But i've been out so much lately.. there's a little more work to do than first expected.  So the promised L/O's have not yet been completed. The good news is.. housework will be completed today and Craft Fun can begin.  Horrrraaaay

(I'm not looking at the decorating that needs doing... that' a project for another day lol)

Have a good weekend!

Card's For A Men

I must admit that it is not my strong point.. making cards for men.  I always find it a struggle to come up with ideas.

So thanks to Mo and her digi stamps.  I came up with this for my father in laws birthday on Monday.

If any one has idea's  for fathers day.  Please feel free to email me.  I'm off to make a start on my Scrapyland starting blox.                                                   Have a good week!

Looking For Ladybirds.

When you were young...you were always looking for ladybirds in the garden.

There was one particular bush... a Peri Winkle.. that was always laden with them.

You were such a sweet little girl.

 Our much loved daughter!

No Time To Chat

I just don't seem to have had five minutes this week to write an email or  stop and chat and that's not like me. lol

Here's a quick card I made at 10 o'clock last night when I remembered it was my bosses 1st wedding anniversary.  As I made her wedding invitations... I felt it only right that I should mark the occasions.

I wasn't in the mood for stamping... so I simply cut two of these heart dies which I purchased  from scrapping cottage. And a few of my new flowers. She seemed to like it

 Can't stop the Tesco delivery man is due any minute.. so I have to go clear the decks.

Have a good week!
