Froggy Birthday

This card is for my brother Ray's birthday this week, obviously, he is mad about frogs. Used to put them down my back when we were kids, have yet to get my own back, am still plotting my revenge ha ha!! Have used some wonderful new Bazzill Swiss Dot Cardstock, Daisy Bucket papers (from CUL) and the Penny Black 'Green Line' stamp .... Had a very busy day at the Crafts U Love Christmas demo day yesterday. Some beautiful cards were made by Kim, Wendy, Stamping Caz, Francoise and Helen and everyone that came, stocked up on lots of new Christmas goodies ... Hope the colours of this card show up, scanner giving me lots of probs at moment xxx

Work, work, work and no crafting!

I have been working lots and lots this week, so have had no time to craft. Have had time though, to buy loads of new bits and pieces and will have to get playing on Sunday, and will post my finished cards. If you are local to Charlwood, Crafts U Love are having a Christmas Demo day tommorrow. We have so many new scrummy products and special offers. Kim Fee, Wendy Horrod, Stamping Caz, Helen Meighan and Francoise Read will be demoing and classes will be in Charlwood Village Hall. Shop opens at 9.00am, demo's start at 10.00am. Hope you can come along, its bound to be a great day!

Scallops and Circles

Am really pleased with this card, lots going on with scallops and circles. Used some 'Bo Bunny' papers, some lovely chanille ric rack ribbon and my new Hero Arts stamps (thankies SusieQ). Had fun with my H20's that I forgot I had and finished it off with a snowflake brad and some bling bling, hope you like it xxx

Jingle Puss

Just a quick puss card before I tackle the biggest ironing pile in history. Love, love, love The Fluffle Stamps. Used some Doodlebug snowy papers and flowers, bling and brads from stash ...

Hero Arts Blue Owl

I just had to make a card using my fav Owl stamp from Hero Arts. Not Christmassy but very autumnal. All products used were brought from craftsulove.co.uk, go check out their fabulous website .........

Toby

As promised, a picture of 'The Tobster'. Isn't he the cutest!!!

Poorly - Bunny

Have been poorly with a bug all week, so not a lot of cards made. Will make up for it tommorrow, have lots of lovely new stamps and papers so craft room here I come, the ironing will have to wait! Jessie had a lovely birthday, spoilt rotten as she should be. Got a new bunny for Georgia this week as we lost our Daisy a few weeks ago. The Tobster (Toby) is 9 weeks old and has big floppy ears which sit at different angles. Not alot of anything has been done as we can't stop cuddling him ... piccy to follow tommorrow. Have a super weekend all you crafty people, good weather permitting xxx

Jessie's Peaceful Card

Just made this for my daughter Jessie's 12th birthday tommorrow. All very last minute, so it had to be a very quick card. All very odd with 'Peace' signs all over it, but she is very into saving the planet at present, everything from her purse to her pyjamas has this sign on it. Anyway, have got all the pressies, booked the party but forgot to make the card, am pleased with the result ..... Used one of my lovely new 'Penny Black' stamps that hubby brought me and some Basic Grey paper. Hero Arts message stamps and one of my fav flowers. Forgot to say big thanks to the lovely Kim Fee for a super master class yesterday .....

Birthday Thanks

I had a lovely birthday today, apart from being a little poorly and just wanted to say a big thank you to David, Amy, Jessie and Georgia for thoroughly spoiling me. Paula, Geoff, Sue and Tracy for my lovely cards and pressies. Thanks also to my brothers, my friends Gill, Sharon, Lyn, Linda, Jayne and Caroline, for all of my lovely gifts too. Have received some wonderful stamps and papers and will be making up some cards tommorrow, when I feel a bit better. Just wanted to share with you the beautiful card that my daughter Georgia made me ....

Busy Week and No Buses!

Have had such a busy week, but have managed to fit in some scrapping and cardmaking into the mix! Have been transporting my dear daughters around Crawley/Horsham in 'Mum's Taxi', and working two extra shifts at the shop, I managed to have a relaxing morning (and a scrummy sausage sarni) with my best mate Sharon and a much needed haircut to boot! Extra running about today as the bus strike has hit Jess' bus route to her new school. Think the whole of Crawley was driving their kids to school this am, as most of it was gridlocked! She is loving secondary and has all of a sudden grown up at least three years in the last week! Having a big family do this Sunday as mine and Jessie's birthday this week, looking forward to seeing family and catching up and putting my feet up .....

Card for Lyn

I made this card for my friend Lyn's birthday. Love this stamp, 'Uplifting Occasion' from Penny Black., its one of those stamps that you can use over and over again. Used some Doodlebug papers from my stash box and added some bling.

Crafts U Love - September Scrap Club

Here is the Acetate Album we made during the September Scrap Club this week. We had a great fun evening. All products used can be brought at craftsulove.co.uk.

Penny Black Cat Cards

Here are a couple of quickie cards I made for Hana and Heather. Found the 'Penny Black' stamps in my large stamp box, forgot I had them!

Black/Pink Christmas

Fancied a change of colour and made these using the 'Holly Day Critters' stamps from Penny Black. I then had a doodling fest for effect. Let me know what you think! Thankies xx
