Be There or Be Square!

We're now home with all gradings completed. Lewis passed his grading with credit (whoo hoo!!) and is now the proud owner of a yellow belt......or will be on Wednesday 'cause they're going to present the belts in class so unfortunately, do not have a photo of him to share with you, but I do have this one of Sam...hee! hee!



Do you think he was pleased or what?!!!! God knows what happened to his trousers, although we did find out later that he forgot to put any pants on when he got dressed!!! Will get one of Lewis after his class this week, just so he's not left out!

Now on to the Papertake Weekly Challenge. I'm VERY late with this one and the challenge this week is:

"...This week's challenge is squares! Square cards, square patterns or square on your layouts......"

This is my first attempt at a spring card (or boing as I like to call them) and I put it together in between gradings, so it was a bit rushed!



I've used the Whipper Snapper stamp "Easter Ribbit" and coloured him with Prismas and Sansodor with some liquid applique added to his bunny ears to make them appear fluffy. Cardstock is Bazzill as are the flowers, papers are from Blonde Moments, sticky ribbon is Anitas and brads are from my stash. Just got to find an envelope for it to fit into!!!

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...

I've Been Busy!!!

It's funny what happens to me when I lose my internet connection so I can't do any blogging.........I end up doing some crafting!!!! Well that's what happened yesterday afternoon and evening....my internet connection kept flicking on and off probably due to all the bad weather we experienced. Not quite so windy today but the rain is continuous! I actually finished my Easter Egg bags yesterday whoo hoo!!! Well, I say finished, I've got three more to put together but I have coloured the label and everything but I need to go to Asda and buy some more creme eggs and I'm not going anywhere today because I'm due a parcel delivery....hopefully, my camera! I hope you're ready for these photos....I was just going to put one picture on but thought hey, I had to suffer making them, they should suffer looking at them!!! The photos aren't very good I'm afraid and I'm proud to say that not one chocolate egg was harmed during the making of these bags......in ot...
