Pink Petticoat Pom Pom Tree

Well, I've finally got 'round to finishing the card I was talking about yesterday. Liz at Pink Petticoat has a blog competition to make a card using the new Tree designs so here's my attempt. It didn't specify to use PP papers so I decided on this one from Blonde Moments because of the link with the hearts on the paper and the tree. It's very simple but I don't like my cards too cluttered!

Absolutely exhausted today - those little tinkers didn't stop talking until three in the morning (eek!) and I had to get up at 7.00 am, needless to say, the bags under my eyes are down to my knees! The good news is, they both passed their gradings at Tae Kwon-do. Sam who is five, got his yellow belt and a badge for "outstanding kick/punch" and Lewis, who will be ten tomorrow, passed his yellow stripe with credit. I was so proud of them because they were both really focused and worked extremely hard. Hope to have a photo of them to load later in the week, all being well.

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials. I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so. I would highly recommend it.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...

ONLY JOKING
