Birthday Worm!

Lewis is off to a birthday party today so had to make a quick card for him to take. The girl in question is a bit of a tom boy so decided not to go for the usual pink girly card.


Took several photos of this one but just couldn't get the colour of the green patterned paper to turn out right....it's definitely brighter IRL!! When I'd made it, realised it fitted in with the CCT challenge this week which is to use patterned paper.

Have used my Whipper Snapper worm and coloured him with Brushables, adding a little glitter to his party hat. Layered him with my Nestabilities rectangles and added a flower and brad from my stash. Used some turquoise c.s. from my stash and the patterned paper which unfortunately, didn't have a name on the back - I've had it for ages and think it came from a monthly kit I used to subscribe to. Ribbon is also from my stash and greeting is from Craftwork Cards. Finally, added some Papermania sticky gems to the top right-hand corner and the sentiment.

Off to get the kids showered now as they both have parties today. Unfortunately not at the same time! I have to drop off Sam first and when I collect him, then have to drop off Lewis at his. I still hope to get some time to do some crafting!

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...
