More Birthday Cards and One From Me!!

Hi all, couldn't believe it, got another four cards in the post this morning. It's so funny because Sam is so intrigued by the postmarks and eagerly waits to hear which country they've come from....he loves it and I love the cards!! But first a card I made for a swap....got to put it first otherwise I'll forget what I've used on it .....I'm desperately repeating it to myself in my head before I forget...well, I am at that age now!!





The card base is layered with Bazzill c.s. and Karen Foster DP. The lime green c.s. has been run through the Cuttlebug with Stylized Flowers embossing folder. Oh, I've also added some mirricard (of course!!). Tilda has been coloured with Prismas and Sansodor with Glamour Dust added to her wings and the flower, and then layered onto the same c.s. as before. Flower is Prima, sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and sticky gems are Papermania. Wow, I remembered! Will definitely have to start writing it down in future!!


Have been busy trying to clean up the house and also doing the food shop as Tony has now confirmed his flight details! I won't have alot of time to do much tomorrow as I've got to take Lewis to Bovington for his Tae Kwon-do grading so trying to get it all done today. At least it's hot and sunny here today so the washing is drying. Tony lands quite early Monday morning so I'm hoping that will give me enough time to get the boys to school and glam myself up a bit. I've got a big surprise for him which I will share with you tomorrow and no, Vanessa, it's not what you're thinking.....dirty mare!!! Talking of Vanessa, I'm blaming her totally for my lack of blogging last night! Decided to give her a quick (?) phone call and then get on with visiting blogs, but three hours later, we're still talking and yawning! At one point, I thought she'd fallen asleep on the phone!!

Anyway, back to my beautiful birthday cards......

Jo I have to ask you, the photo of you standing outside what looks like a holiday villa, it isn't Four Seasons in the Algarve is it? It looks so much like it and I mean to ask you every time I visit your blog?!!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
