HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TOBY

Morning All

Well ... we had lots of white stuff arrive during the night and I woke up to a very pretty scene in my garden this morning ...

our little Westie - Skye - bless her she "disappeared" in the snow what with her being white and small :)

Anyway ... on to my card ... It's my Great Nephew's 1st Birthday today and we was supposed to be going over to see him later but that's had to be cancelled now due to the weather :( .. but here's the card I made for him ..

I love this Mo Manning image .. just so cute ... he's called TEX and I've coloured him with a combination of Copics / Promarkers, cut out some nestie stars and added a sentiment to the middle .. it's one of mine from a set of 6 digital downloads - SPLIT CIRCLES - I've added a chipboard "1" and inked the edge, and a "Sheriff Star" charm to finish

BIRTHDAY WISHES

Morning All

I'm gonna have a crafting day today .... yippee!!!!!

I've decided to get as many Christmas Cards done as I can .... I've already coloured a lot of the images in - just a case of making the cards now lol!! So I may be back later showing you what I've done :)

Anyway ... thought I'd show you a card I made for hubby to give one of his girls at work for her birthday ...

I love these SUGAR NELLIE DIGIS ... so beautiful!!! I've coloured her with Copics and mounted her on my new Sizzix set of nesting shapes ... (I bought them in September and have only just used them - shame on me lol!!!!), the DP is from a My Minds Eye paper stack and I punched the flowers from the same, the sentiment is one of mine and I've finished off with pearls and card candy

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by :)

Good Afternoon All :)

Another lovely day in Essex but a bit blustery ... still perfect weather for crafting (any weather is perfect for crafting LOL)

On Saturday we are going to our friend's son's 18th birthday party ... I can remember the day he was born LOL .... makes me feel very old ... so I thought I'd show you the card I've made for him

I've used a fab image from the digi downloads MIKEY COLLECTION at Charmed Cards and Crafts .. these images are so good for teenage boy cards ... and I've coloured him with copics / mounted him on nesties, the papers are from Nitwits ON A HIGH NOTE, the sentiment I've made to fit the occasion and die cut with nesties, and finished off with BAKERS TWINE, MUSICAL CHARM and CARD CANDY

I hope you like it :)

SPECIAL DELIVERY

Afternoon All

Well ... can you believe it ... hubby came home last night and said another member of his team had had a baby .. a girl this time... and can I make another card!

He loved the one I made yesterday so I just did exactly the same ... but in pink :)

All the details are the same as yesterday but I've used a different sentiment from the Baby Lines set of 6 ... these are now available to buy on my website Crafts 4 You .. HERE

Just love this image and may well possibly use it every time I have to make a new baby card LOL

Catch up with you soon

A NEW ARRIVAL

Hi all!!

Well ... this is the first card I've made in over THREE WEEKS!!!!

Yesterday hubby asked me to make him a card for one of his team who have just had a baby boy ... if he had asked me last week I would have said "go buy one" but today I wanted to make one ... I'm so happy I'm getting back to normal ... I missed my crafting!!!

I love this Sugar Nellie's adorable baby digi download .. it has to be one of my fave baby images and I've simply added a pale flesh colour and blue to his hat - you can download it HERE at Funky Kits.  The papers are from Nitwits GRINS & GIGGLES, the sentiment is one of mine and will be available at CRAFTS 4 YOU very shortly and I've embellished with card candy and a spacer/gem brad :)

Hope you like my "getting back to crafting" card LOL

Catch up with you soon

KICK BACK AND RELAX

Good Morning All

It's a gorgeous day here in sunny Essex ... let's hope it last into the weekend :)

Thought I'd stop by today and show you a card I made for a lady who worked for my hubby and she took early retirement ...as usual he says "can you do me a retirement card" .. I say "sure .. when do you need it by?" ... he says "tomorrow!!!" - what are they like LOL!!!

Anyway .. after a quick trawl on the internet I came up with a fab digi image and then made a sentiment to match ...

This great image is by Karen's Doodles and is called FREEDOM - I coloured her with promarkers and added some glitter to the bubbles, then cut the image out using Labels One nesties and did a bit of distressing around the edge.  The sentiment is one of mine and I resized it to fit perfectly into the SU oval punch - it is today's Friday Freebie over at SENTIMENTS FOR YOU so go grab it for yourself!!

I thought it was such a fun card for a retirement ... what do you think??

Have a great Friday and weekend and I'll catch up with you soon :)
