Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With the Times.

This week our theme is

Be A Sport

I was going to go with my usual football themed card but I found this Popcorn the Bear stamp set reduced in the craft shop at the weekend so I bought it and used golf instead. 

I've made a circular card and embossed with Swiss Dots but turned it the other way so it would look like a golf ball.

Birthday Celebrations

Hello.

We've been celebrating today as it's Craig's 13th birthday! A teenager, I can hardly believe it.

So today's cards are the birthday cards I made for Craig from us and from Scott.

This is our card using one of the Owen images from Digi Stamp Boutique. Found these images on Tuesday while browsing for something else (which I didn't find)

Owen - Digi Stamp Boutique
Sentiment - Paper Smooches
Son - Docrafts

This second card is kind of inspired by the Big Bang Theory which Craig loves and this card kind of fell together which is about a week too late as I had real trouble with the MAWTT Square Eyes theme as I couldn't think of a TV programme and hey look, there you go!

A Bat. And Some Daisies

Hello.

Sunday evening again and it's the end of what has been a fabulous weekend. We had friends staying this weekend and we've all had such fun, it's just a pity our time together was so short!

So to today's card - this is a card I made for a friend who orders lots of cards from me, but this time, this one is for her from her husband. You'll see the other ones I made soon! Sharon loves bats and last year I used the Simply Betty Morticia Adamms image and used some bats to decorate but this year wanted something different. I've used Marvin and Daisies which is an image from Marina Neira.

A Day of Mixed Emotions

Hello!

A couple of things to share today which were made last night - yeah, I know, cutting things fine. AGAIN. Is it too late to make New Year's resolutions?!

So today at church was a service of celebrations and farewells. We celebrated the ordination of some new elders (one of whom was my friend Lynne) but it was also our minister's last service. We've had an interim minister for almost two years, leading us to the point of union with another church, the service for which will take place on Thursday evening.  So today's service was also Eleanor's last service with us so it was a very emotional service!

This is the card I made for Lynne to celebrate her ordination as an Elder. Very simple!


This next item is a collage of a wee book I made which the children wrote their memories of Eleanor for. It was lovely to see what they all wrote - I'm not sharing those as they're between each of the children and Eleanor.

I took a photo of the four of them and Eleanor today so the last page of the book will be completed on Thursday after the service.


Thanks for dropping by today.

Add A Heart

Our sponsor this week are Quixotic Paperie.

This is another one of those stamps I got for not very many pennies in my local craft shop, isn't he a cutie? I was trying to make him last week and wasn't terribly inspired after I had coloured him in. Then last weekend I went to a friends for the weekend and 5 of us had a fab crafty weekend. Not laughed so much in ages! One of the girls had this fab heart confetti border punch and so the card took shape.
