Half a Century



This card uses a digi image for Mo's Digital Pencil
She is coloured using my promarkers
The card base and letters I designed and cut using my MTC software and Ecraft
The colours of the paper do not really show up but they are green polka dots
I used faux stitching around the letter and the border of the image
The sentiment I saw on a card on Dotty Jo's blog - Just A Dotty Pudding 
and thought it was perfect for my friends half a century birthday
Thanks Jo for the inspiration 


Today would also have been my Dad's 70th Birthday
So in his memory my mum, sisters, daughter and me
 went down to Dunge where he worked and released a balloon
and had some Wholenut Chocolate as that is what we brought him every year
Still miss him even after nearly 6 years but know he with us in many ways
Happy Birthday Dad

B is for Bobby


This card was made a few weeks ago for little boy who loves basketball
My DS and his friend brought him a new basketball and hoop for his birthday
The image is from Bugaboo and is coloured with promarkers
I then used my spellbinder dies to cut the circles as mats
The star was cut free hand and I mounted it onto the large polka dots paper

Clean and Simple


I was poorly last night so am off work today
Thought I would post a card I made for DD BF
He is a bass guitarist and I wanted something simple
I knew that when he opened this card he would roll his eyes
Which makes me laugh as much as the play on words
The treble clef was from clip art and the sentiment done in word

Quick and simple

This card is for the following challenges

Very Late WOYWW more like Friday!!



We have been very short staffed at work so things have been a bit hectic
Today was the first chance I had to play
Thought I would show that I can get in mess
If you dont have clue what this is all about pop to the Queen of Desk HERE


So you every say something that you then end up doubting yourself
My friends who run Aristocats Cattery lost their sign in the storms
In the New Year - I said if you get the base I will renew it for you
Today I was given the base - I had already brought some sign vinyl of ebay


Then used my Ecraft to cut all the words etc
I had to make a stablizer mat 12" by 40" it was rather large
I am quite pleased with the finished results

Thanks for stopping by - I will try and be on time next week

Birthday Flowers


Had a surprise day off work today - should have been taking hubby to hospital but they let us know last night they had booked him in for the wrong clinic!
We now have an appointment for next Wednesday hopefully in the right clinic
So I thought I would have a lay in and a day of crafting and sorting
This card uses a lovely digi image from Digistamp Boutique
He is coloured using my promarkers
The papers are all from my stash I think most are papermania papers
The ribbon was the hanger in one of my friends tops 
(she saves them for me and then gives me a bag full)
The charm has been in my stash for ages and I think it came from the Works
