Shhhhhhh

Morning.

I'm not here. I'm packing......

OK, I am here, and I am chilling with a cup of tea and the Gilmore girls even though there's still loads to do before we go away on Monday.

I've used a Stamping Bella for today's card which was one for someone to give her friend for her birthday.

Socks!

Morning.

Something a little different today - well, different in that it isn't a card.

This is a frame I made for Craig a wee while ago (and to my shame, it's still not hung in his room). He'd seen one just like this when we went to ComicCon and he asked if I could make him one so I went on a Google search for Dobby colouring pages!

Perhaps today is the day. I'm trying to tidy the house, while packing for our holidays (we're away Monday) so I might just find a wee space to hang this in his room!

Fab N Funky Challenge

Morning.

It's time for another challenge at Fab N Funky. This time it's hosted by our lovely Wends.

This time our theme is

Christmas

We're sponsored this week by All Dressed Up.

I've used Shepherd Boy for my card. Kept it fairly simple and if I'd had a different shaped star I would have changed it for that but I'm happy with the way it turned out.

The End of An Era

Hello.

Today marked the end of an era for our family, it was the last day at school before the 7 weeks of the school holidays begin. However, this was also the last day at primary school for Scott as he goes to high school in August. I can't believe it - the time has gone by in a flash.

So today's card is the card I made for his teacher.



School Boy - Tiddly Inks
Sentiment - Digi Stamp Boutique
Copics
Stitched Rectangles - Memory Box

And here are some photos of the boy himself. The first is first day to last day and the second is after school finished and he came out with his shirt all signed by some of the children in the school (not just the Primary 7's!)




And another wee card to share, I made this for a friend's daughter to give her teacher - but they don't finish until tomorrow (although it's unlikely the teacher is going to be reading my blog!)

Letters - Memory Box

So that's it. 7 weeks of the holidays are upon us. Pass the gin!

A Can Of..... Flowers

Morning

A little flowery card to share today. One I was asked to make for a special birthday (but without an age!) 

I've used a DigiStamp Boutique image and kept the card fairly simple. You'll even notice I've put some butterflies on it. Not pink ones obvs.

Oops

Hello.

Are you basking in the heat or are you just a little on the warm side? This is so unusual for Scotland!!

So yesterday was Father's Day but I completely ran out of time to do cards for Andy so I had to buy some. Oops. However, I did make one for an order for someone....

Fab N Funky Challenge

Hello again

It's time for another challenge at Fab N Funky.

This time our theme is

Vintage

We're sponsored by The Paper Shelter for this challenge and they were kind enough to give the DT a couple of images to use. I've used Charmingly Hippy for my card. Now I'm not sure that a '70's inspired card actually qualifies as Vintage but there you go!

I've actually tried to recreate all the dodgy wallpaper covered jotters from school and believe it or not, I actually like this, for once!

Lots of Birthdays

Morning

Lots of cards to share this morning - all ones I have made for folk at work, so I tend to go for just general happy birthday ones. Starting to run out of ideas now and it's not like I only have to send one birthday card per person! Google here I come!!!










Thanks for dropping by today.

White Rabbit Syndrome....

I'm late, I'm late....

I'm so late in sharing this card I think the recipient has now had her 12th birthday! Or if it not, it's quite soon.

I used the birthday party invite as inspiration and have featured it on the card. The party was one in a recording studio so this Saturated Canary image was absolutely perfect.
