A Scrap-page, A Cold & Lots of Crafty Goodies!

Good evening, hope your Friday has gone well? I have spent mine in bed with a bad cold, great for looking through my craft magazines and catching up with some telly though. Sorry I havent been about much in the last week. I have had major pc problems and also work has kept me busy, the Biggin Hill show was such great fun and also chance to catch up with a few crafty friends.

Anyway to my page. I really loved making this, I was invited along to a class the other evening, but didnt manage to go. This is my take on my lovely friend Cary's class page. I love these stamps and the colours together are just fabulous! Photos to be added when I can find some small enough to fit the frames, I JUST LOVE THIS STAMP! Here is a close up of the tag. All products are from Stamping Up.


Whilst at Biggin Hill, I treated myself just a little bit lol! Yep, in fact I went a bit mad this time, not like me at all, I am normally pretty frugal. I have been thinking about treating myself to a Grand Calibur for a while now, the family keep on at me to go and buy it, but it is a considered purchase and with two school holiday trips to pay for, I have been a bit reluctant. Anyway, I gave in and it came home with me along with a die, some sweet little stamps and a huge amount of lovely ribbon & flowers. The only problem now is that I want to buy all of the big dies to go with the machine, lol!


You may see a little CoCo in the picture as well, she is very camera shy and I have to be very quick to catch her. She is ten months now and still hasn't ventured outside yet. I have tried to get her out of the back door, but she just runs inside again. I am quite happy to have her as a indoor puss, should she prefer it. I think she wants to play with the machine too lol!

Anyway, poor old David is busy painting one of the girls rooms, so had better go and get him some coffee. Am hoping to get some painting done too tommorrow, cold permitting! If you are suffering with this awful cold too, get well soon!

Nearly forgot, Happy Birthday to my friend Dee, what a day to have a birthday on lol! I do hope you have had a super day, see you next week.

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for popping by!

Congrats to Will & Kate

Congratulations to William & Katherine, what a wonderful wedding! Prince William looked so handsome and Katherine was absolutely gorgeous. I especially loved the chief bridesmaids dress, wow what a stunner she is too! Didn't love some of the awful hats or 'fascinators', you could probably pick up a satellite challenel or two from them, I do hope they kept their receipts, meow! I am a big hat lover so when my lovely girls get ready, I definately know what not to wear lol!

Anyway here is a photo of my gorgeous daughters complete with their Royal Wedding t-shirts! We have had a lovely lunch here and am off now to make some cards before our barbecue later.

Have a wonderful afternoon, hope you enjoyed the wedding too!

hugs
