two little photos ...

hi my crafty friends ... hope you are all well and enjoying this beautiful weather because it is all about to change ... ooo it is such a shame because my lovely nephew and his fiance are getting married on Saturday and we have just looked at the weather and they are forcasting ... horrendous storms thunder and lightening ... the lot ... ooooo but we will still enjoy ...

here is the little card I made for them ...

happy wedding day Matt and Heather

also the next card is for my lovely daughter-in-law Sally who has a birthday on Friday this week ... she is a darling and just like a daughter ... I made the card using the tagxedo website and actually "daughter-in-law" didn't come out right ... so she is meant to be "my daughter" lol ...

happy birthday Sally

hm ... I have been experimenting ... I used to scan my cards but this time I used my camera ... not sure if I like it ... looks a bit small ... thank you for looking anyway ... if you like to leave a comment I will visit you tooooooo ... have a great week

Hello my dear friends and thank you for stopping by ... we have had a bit of rain today ... and I must say it is quite welcome and I also got my ironing done whilst it was a bit cooler ...

hope you are all having a great weekend ...

my little card is for my dear son Kevin the golf professional ... he has just passed his "degree" in golf ... ooo cant remember the proper name for the qualification and he never dreamed he would have to go to college to take exams lol ... but its all over for him now and he can breath again ...

 

ooo btw ... I am off to a  craft show tomorrow in Portsmouth ... I went last year and had a great time ... anyone else going ... would love to meet up ...

hope you all have a great weekend ...

happy birthday to my dear Mum's friend

was sorting through a few of Mums little bits and found a little note to say it is her friends birthday on July 3rd ... so thought I would make a little card for her ... she actually has Motor Neurone Disease and unfortunately is now confined to a wheelchair ... she was a very good friend to Mum and Mum to her ... so she certainly deserves a little card

hope you have had a great week ... and have a great weekend my dear friends ...

sorry I have been MIA ... a few little cards ...

hi my dear friends ... sorry I have been MIA ... been very busy getting Mums flat up together for selling ... its a lovely ground floor flat in a smart gated area in Southsea ... if anyone is interested lol

anyway on to my little cards ... the first one has quite a story behind it lol ... my dear sister and I decided we need to get net curtains for Mums flat because as it is ground floor we were worried about security and were keeping the main curtains (Laura Ashley btw !!) closed but it was looking very sad so my sister got the nets and we went down at the weekend to put them up ... each curtain was tied with a lovely piece of net ribbon ... and I said well you can guess what I said "I could make a card with that " so I did and am about to send it to my sister lol

little card for my dear Sister

btw ... the nets are called Alice and that was our grandmothers name ... so we think Mum would approve

the next card is for my dear sister in law who is moving at the weekend ...

happy moving day Sheila

the next card is for my mother in law to give to her great grandson who is going to be 5

happy birthday James

and the last one was a bit of a rushed one and involved a bit of cheating as I needed a card in a hurry so cut a smaller one up that I had in my "waiting box" and pasted it to a larger card stock ... oooo us crafters are a crafty lot aren't we

happy birthday GG 

thank you for stopping by ... hope you are all having a great week ... promise to visit you if you care to leave me a note

happy birthday matthew ... my nephew

hi my dear friends ... hope you are all having a great week

I have made this little card for my dear nephew for his birthday on Friday ... he and his future wife (getting married in July) are honeymooning in Thailand so thought this card would be a good send off

sorry its late

sorry its late ... I promised in the post below to show you some of the bits that I got in the charity shop along with the buterfly stamp ... wow been so busy have not had time ... good job we don't have to go to work tooooo lol


anyway here are two little cards I have made using some of the backing papers that were in the folder
Also in there were lots of vinyl coated stickers (see picture ) two sheets of summer time beach stamps some vellum sheets and some epoxy brads ...
As you can see they seem to be from "Abi's crafts" but I cant seem to find them ... when I google it directs me to Abi Titmus ... so I am giving up on that one
the two cards I have made are using toppers from the June making cards magazine

ps the see through folder that held all my crafty bits cost all of £3 ... amazing !!

anyway off to Winchester for the day tomorrow with my dear sister ... we have an appointment at the Probate office to swear on oath ... ooo scary ... never done that before ... but hopefully the probate will soon be sorted ...
