Happy Birthday Lewis!

My eldest Son is 11 today whoo hoo!!!!! To be honest with you, wasn't sure if he was going to make it as I have come close to strangling him this week!!! Was he excited or what!!! Anyway, we got up early to open his presents and he's extremely happy because he got his mobile phone so he's gone off to school with a big smile on his face! I still have Sam home so we are just baking Lewis's birthday cake.
Thought I would share the cards I made for Lewis. The first one is from Sam........

......and this one is from me and Tony........


Two more stamps I've had for a while but have never inked up!! The images are High Hopes and have been coloured with Promarkers. Papers are Basic Grey, sentiment is also High Hopes. The large blue brads in the top card are from Poppicrafts and the green clip (which says "laugh" on it) is Making Memories. For the bottom card I used some giant eyelets from SU, ribbon, stickers, rub-ons and plastic tags all from my stash. Finally, added a bit of doodling around the images. Must admit was really pleased with the finished results as I was unsure what image to use for an eleven year old but got away with these as Lewis was really pleased with them!

I haven't forgotten about my blog candy - thank you so much for all the entries I've received but will have to keep you in suspense just a little while longer as Lewis will be picking the winner when he comes home from school.

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. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! 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
