Easter Cards

What a day!! After all the warnings about the weather, I was a bit surprised to wake up to a slight wind......the weather, not me!! and thought, they got it wrong! Oh boy, was I wrong!! One minute it has been chucking it down with rain and the next, brilliant sunshine, however, still with the strong winds they predicted.

Had to pop out to Asda to do some shopping which I did in extra quick time, then spent the rest of my free time trying to catch up with my Easter gifts. Have made quite a few today with about another eight to make which I should be able to do this evening and tomorrow morning. Will post a photo of them when they're complete.

In the meantime, have a couple of Easter cards to show, which I put together last night. The first is very similar to my 'boingy' card as it's the same stamp and paper so thought I would make use of the leftovers.





Stamp is Whipper Snapper coloured with Prismas and Sansodor and Brushables, with liquid applique on the ears, c.s., flower and brad are Bazzill and paper is from Blonde Moments.

The second card is from an image Fran sent me.......I fell in love with it so just had to buy the stamp!! This is coloured with Brushables which took about two seconds!! All papers are Pink Petticoat, brad is from Poppicrafts and sentiment is from Just Hatched set at Papertrey Ink. Very quick and simple!


The brad has come out a bit brighter than it is in real life.....it's more of a pastel pink. It's really kind of my Sister to lend me her camera, however, I don't like it and can't wait to get my new one. I think I missed it today while I was shopping, as a parcel was delivered but taken back again. Why is it when you pop out for 30 minutes, the Postie decides to bring your parcels?!!! Anyway, they're re-delivering it tomorrow so I'm going nowhere!!!

So fun! Great layout on these. I love both but I have to say the frog is my favorite for the giggle factor. Great job!

hope it's not too windy where you are - seems we have a temporary lull at the moment. Fab cards you've made, I had some of that Blonde Moments paper as a magazine freebie so will have to dig it out!

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...

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...
