Some cards to share with you!

Hi there everyone! Today I have some cards to share with you which means I have motivated myself to get back into my paper crafting. The first card I made was to participate in Dawn's colour challenge but I was a bit late getting my entry in, next time I will be motivated a bit earlier, I hope. And the second card I made for a good friend who has just finished uni and so I wanted to give this to her to congratulate her on such a great achievement. Tomorrow I hope to share with you a couple of little projects that I am making for my Miss 9's birthday which is coming up very soon. My goal is to make most of the things to put into the party bags so I have to get a wriggle on since it will be here before I know it. I hope that you have had a good day. Bye for now. Don't forget to comment on my previous post to be in the draw for the blog candy!

Raspberry Suite Challenge #5

I made this card especially for my Mum for Mother's Day. The colours in Dawn's Challenge were very pretty and it is also fun to play with new colours, for me, like basic gray. Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my work, I love to hear from you. See you all again soon.

Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there I hope that you all had a wonderful day. My mother's day started a bit early with my lovely husband cooking me a beautiful butter chicken from scratch and then an apple pie for dinner last night. Because we spent the day at my Mum's and Dad's we knew we would be too full for a proper dinner tonight so I had a Mother's Day dinner last night and a delicious lunch at my Mum's today. I was given lovely gifts of the handmade and bought kind wrapped in the most gorgeous hand drawn paper. The girls chose some gifts from the Mother's day stall of beaded heart table weights and jasmine scented paper flowers, now sitting on my coffee table. My hubby spoilt me with a Wii Fit, some chocolates and the Meet Me at Mikes craft book. Thank you to my wonderful family for making my mother's day special and showing me how much you care. Love you lots! See you later.

Some Easter Treats

Hello everyone I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend so far my has been relaxing and productive at the same time. My family and I went to the movies today to see Monsters vs Aliens which we all enjoyed, a good movie for both adults and the children. Later on I went to visit Spotlight (my new favourite shop) to pick up a hot glue gun and got to work on some hair clips for some Easter gifts. They get so much chocolate that I decided to make a couple of things and limit the amount of chocolate I gave out so everyone will be happy. Thanks for visiting. Talk to you again soon. Bye!
