PTW offering.

Don't know why, but I thought I'd sent this one to my friend,

but it wasn't, it was the previous one.

I really ought to take more water with it!! LOL

This is my entry for the PTW weekly challenge.

CS - Bazzil

PDSP - Certainly Celery.

Stamp - Tilda with Flowers.

Flower - Forever Flowers.

Ribbon - American Crafts.

Metal sentiment - Lakeland.

I will be away now until Monday evening.

Pam and I are off to Hampshire to visit a dear friend.

We are SO excited, as we are going to the

ART STAMP Show at Newbury on Saturday.

Take care!!!

A cloudy sky!

HaHa! Someone did a fabulous card with a cloud stamp as the background.

I want that stamp!! It's amazing, but.......I can't remember where I saw it!

Boo Hoo. Help please!

In the meantime, I decided to do my own.

I made this card for a dear friend

and knew she wouldn't mind being my guinea pig.

This is one of my favourite Tildas and I love the shabby fence too.

The 'tree' is a leaf punch and Bazzil CS as always.

The cloud is pure guesswork!

Please help me find that background. LOL

It's Wednesday again!!

Phew! it soon comes round.



I'm off to Mum's today. (I always go on Wednesdays).







The best part of today though, is that it's my eldest son's birthday. He's 37 today!!!!



I agonised over his card as I HATE doing men's cards.



What IS it about them that drives us to distraction??



The cards not the men!!!!LOL







Well I got this gorgeous card wallet from Ikemo on Do Crafts
filled with lovely images and it inspired me!!

Thank you SO much Ikki for the lovely wallet and the images,

(yours are on the way)!

So here is the card-cum-present I made for my son.


There will be money in the first pocket (of course).

I'm quite pleased with it

and shall probably do this for my other sons too now.

In fact...everyone!! LOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!!!

I'm back and there's big candy!!!

OMG!! Go and see the blog candy Ila is offering!!!
A set of the new Magnolia 'Party and Vacation' stamps.
I'd give a gold clock to win that! Well, who wouldn't?? LOL
Get on over and see the fab stamp set on Ila's gorgeous blog.

Well I had a great day with Mum and my dear cousins.
We went out to lunch at a place called the Mersey Farmers..(I think that's what it's called)!LOL
I MUST get a brain!
We got there at about 12:30 and got back to my cousin's house at gone 3:30!!!
I'm so stuffed I don't think I can eat for a week now!!
(I'm going back next week to spend a day crafting with her).
I'm so looking forward to that.

Well it was a long day, but it was lovely and I didn't fall out with Mum either!!! LOL

On a different note, I'm off out today.

Taking Mum to see my cousins Carol and Margaret.

I love visiting with them as we are a close family

Carol makes cards too and I'm trying,

slowly but surely to teach her how to navigate round her PC more.

Have a lovely day everyone!

My Challenge

Katharina has challenged ladies on her blog to design a card using her sketch with a view to becoming a guest designer.

Well I'm not in THAT league LOL, but liked the sketch and the challenge.

I made this and I'm quite pleased with it on the whole.

It's not a patch on what all you ladies create,

but it's another step on my journey. ;0)

The gorgeous cake image was kindly sent to me by the beautifully talented Jennifer.
I love it!
