Well Done

Morning.

How is it where you are? I think summer is definitely over here, feels like it's been raining for weeks and it's generally just colder and more miserable.

I forgot to share this last week. This is the card I made for Craig who got his Higher results last week and did so well getting 5 out of 5 with 2 A's, 2 B's and 2 C's!

Time For Tea Designs

Hello again.

I'm back with my Time for Tea card for today.

There's a couple of new collections out in the Time for Tea shop just in time for Autumn. Well, the kids are back at school, before we know it will be the September weekend, then a couple of weeks later the October week and then it's Christmas. Happy New Year all......

I've used the cute wee hedgehog from the I Love Autumn full collection and there's 15% off right now as an introductory offer.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'.

This week our theme is

Sports

Now I like watching most sports (apart from synchronised swimming, not keen on that), not so great at the taking part but in this house both boys are involved in sport so I've gone for two cards featuring their sport of choice. With Scott it's football (although to be fair, he'll have a go at most things) and this is is birthday card from back in June.

Oliver Football - LotV
Copics
Circles - Spellbinders

And with Craig it's bowls. This isn't Craig's card (and it's not a great photo, it's a work birthday card) and this week Craig got to the finals of his bowling club junior championship.

Bowls - Just Inklined
Copics
Chalks
Happy/Birthday - Lisa Horton Creative Expressions

So this happened this week - the boys are back at school after 7 weeks holidays. This is the last first day at school card where they will both be in it. And just yesterday Craig was appointed Vice Captain of the school! Definitely a proud mum.

Back shortly with Time for Tea card.

Remember to drop by Sweet Stampin' and see what the rest of the Sweeties have been up to! Perhaps you could have a go yourself, don't forget to stamp now ;)

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas At Sweet Stampin'.

Stay Cool

Morning.

I was looking for something else this morning and came across this card I made just before I went on holiday - it started off as a challenge card and for some reason it didn't get done in time but then I finished it and sent it off to one of the guys from work! Thought I'd better share it before my lying by the pool sipping cocktails becomes a distant memory.

Time For Tea Monthly Challenge

Hello.

Here I am with my monthly challenge for Time for Tea. Our theme this month is Make it Yourself!

For this I've made a frame for my friend to take to her cousin in Canada who has a wee tea corner. My make it yourself item is the wee teabag I made that's hanging out of the cup.
