'New'


Good morning everybody and what a beautiful morning it is too! The sun is out and the rain has stopped at long last! but most importantly of all, the boys behaved themselves last night! I went up to check on them at 11.30 pm and to my horror, they were still awake! but they were as quiet as little mice and didn't get out of their beds, so a good night was had by all!

The challenge on Daring Cardmakers this week is:

"....I would like our cards to celebrate 'New'. So not only New Year, but maybe New Home, New Baby, New Job or maybe a card for someone who is starting a new chapter in their life...."

This was quite an easy choice for me as I love making baby cards so I found my old favourite, Penny Black. I stamped it onto white c.s. and coloured with Brushables adding a little Stickles to the daisy. This was then layered onto Pebbles Inc. gingham paper and pale blue Bazzill c.s. with a little piece of "It's A Boy" ribbon. I covered the actual card with the pale blue c.s. and Doodlebug paper and then mounted the image onto it with foam pads. Finally, some Dovecraft ribbon, a Prima flower and a spotty brad were added as a finishing touch.
Hope you all have a good Sunday!

It's Blog Candy Time!

I'VE EDITED THIS MESSAGE SO (HOPEFULLY!) IT WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS OVER. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

A Quick Magnolia!

This is going to be a very quick posting as I've been suffering from toothache on and off since Friday evening and it is now unbearable. I do have an appointment with the Dentist tomorrow so if I can just get through tonight I'll be OK! Don't really feel like listing all the details for this one, so if you have any questions, just ask.

Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated. Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple. I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile). Just to get you started, here's my space
