Happy Birthday Aaron!

It's Vanessa's eldest Son's birthday today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON and hope you have a great day! which leads me on to the card I have to show...it's the one I made him so hope you received it in time! Really quite difficult to make cards for boys who are 11 so here's what I did.

The image is courtesy of Fran and I've coloured it with Brushables. Cardstock is Bazzill and paper is Daisy Bucket. Used my SU punch to make the tab and fixed it to the card with some eyelets from my stash. Xtreme stamp is from Rubbadubadoo and "Totally Special" stamp is from Autumn Leaves (I think!).

Feeling a bit down in the mouth today as Chelsea lost the football last night and haven't heard from Tony this morning so he must be really depressed! as he got up at 4.00 in the morning to watch the match!! Never mind, we'll be back!!

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.

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

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
