18th Exploding Box Card

Hi crafters

Just a quickie as I am off to bed now as I am off to Stamperama in Stevenage tomorrow so need to be up early.  I didn't get to the April one or the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show what with Brian having had his stroke at the end of the year, so am really looking forward to it.

I did this exploding box for a friends daughter for her 18th and have since had 3 more commisions for them.  I used the same papers that I used a few weeks back for my Mum's birthday card as I really love them (Nitwits Collection).  I added a musical candle to the birthday cake that plays the tune of Happy Birthday which went down a storm.

Well nighty night but thanks for stopping by and I hope to be back soon.  In the meantime I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Birthday Box - Just for a Change

Duh! stupid me, I only went and forgot to link my card to the challenges I was wanting to enter.  Oh well I have done it now lol.  See you soon x

Hi everyone

Hope you are all having a good weekend, I certainly am as I have spent the whole day scrapbooking with some great friends and boy did I need it.  It was lovely and relaxing and just what I needed, I even got 2 layouts completed.

As you know I have had real problems with my PC and so haven't had a chance to put on some cards that I had made previously so I thought I would try and show you on now, and yes another Box Card.  This was made for a lady who had seen one of my box cards that I had been commissioned to make for a friend of hers and she asked me to make one for her to give to her Sister.

Sorry about the photo, I didn't realise it was so dark when I took it and as I have only just managed to download them I have only just seen how dark they were.

Hope you like it, she certainly did.  I am entering this into the following challenges.

Crafts and Me - Favourite Stamp/Image

Birthday Card

Gosh I didn't realise how long I had been away.  It started with my laptop dying on me and when I finally got it back I have had a real time of it with blogger then on top of that my mojo had gone walkabout.

I am really getting frustrated with Internet Explorer and blogger as there are so many lovely blogs that I love to visit and am not able to, a couple being Juls at The Glitter Chick and Pinky at Pinky's World.  Every time I visit my computer goes so slow but if I try and leave a comment my computer jams up.  So if you are both reading this I just want you to know that even though I can't comment I still love to see all you fabulous creations.

Even though my mojo has been missing I have still had to get some commissions done and will post them as soon as the events have passed but in the meantime I thought I would share one with you that I made for my mum for her birthday tomorrow.  I used this digi image from Crafts & Me which I think is absolutely gorgeous and is so reasonable at £2.00.

And now I am off to bed as I am shattered tonight, it has been a looooonnnnng week but hey a new one starts tomorrow lol.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafts & Me - Birthday
Allsorts -  Free and Easy
I Love Promarkers - Include Flowers
Birthday Sundaes - Birthday Sentiment
By the Cute & Girly - With Wings
Crafty Purple Frog - Swirls & Pearls

Kenny K Challenge - Retro

I know nothing for ages and then 2 in a row.  I can't stop but I thought I would show you a card I have done for the Kenny K's challenge this week which is retro and as I have had this paper by Fancy Pants for ages and thought it would be perfect for this theme,


 I had a little time yesterday to do some crafting before going to some friends for a bbq as Benn's football season has now finished (yippee some lay-ins) and this was the result.

Hope you like it and I will be back soon with some more creations that I haven't had the time before to post.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good week.

GDT - One Stitch at a Time

Happy Sunday everyone, I have been so busy the last couple of weeks and haven't had any time for crafting but I have at least enjoyed the gorgeous weather we have been having.

Did you all enjoy the Royal Wedding, it was lovely wasn't it.  I so love William and Kate and really look forward to the day that they become King and Queen as I think they will both do a fantastic job and even though his Mum isn't here any more I know that she would have been so proud of William, in fact both of her boys.  I also think she would have definitely approved of his choice of bride and I wish them both a lifetime of happiness.

Well onto the only card I have managed this week.  I recently won over at One Stitch at a Time and they very kindly invited me to be a Guest Designer for their challenge this week which was fancy folds.  I almost went with an Easel card as this is my favourite type at the moment (not that you can tell, can you?) lol, but decided in the end to do a Side Step card instead (I think that is what it is called).  The cute little image is one of the images from Gillus Gallery over at OSAAT and can be found here, isn't he cute.  I decided to use him to do a Father's Day card so that I didn't end up making them at the last minute which is what always seems to happen.


The Bench and Table  was one of the images that I won from The Stamping Boutique. 

Well have a good week and I hope to be back again very soon with some more creations as I am hoping to get some time to play this week but alas we shall have to wait and see.

Thanks for stopping by.

A New Grandson

Hi everyone

I hope you have all been enjoying the gorgeous sunshine that we have been having over the last week, I know I certainly have, there is nothing like sun to make everything seems so much better and on that subject I thought I would let you know that Brian is doing so much better.  This last week we have seen such a difference in him not only with his energy levels and what he can do but mentally in himself.  He is even talking about getting back to work which is a very positive step.

On top of this Brian's Son and Daughter-in-Law have become proud parents to their second little boy, a baby brother for Luke and we have been blessed with another little Grandchild.  He came into the world a little early due to Amy having pre-eclampsia weighing 5lb 11oz but Amy is doing very well now and Ryan is absolutely gorgeous, I am enjoying having lots of cuddles lol.

This brings me onto my card, and yes another Easel Card Box, have I told you that I am doing so many of these at the moment, I actually have another 3 to show you but I will leave those for another day.I hope you enjoy looking at it, the box is just perfect to fit 2 newborn vests wrapped in tissue (onsie's for our US friends), but I forgot to photograph that bit, lol.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Fussy & Fancy Friday - Card for a Child
Papertake Weekly - Truly Dimensional
One Stitch at a Time - New Baby
Bunny Zoe's Crafts - One for the Boys
I Love Promarkers - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Card for a Child

Thanks for dropping by and I will catch up with you again soon, in the meantime enjoy the beautiful weather I know I will.
