Made this at Craft Club for MIL for her b'day next month.

And this one for another relative, male, haven't decided which one yet, there are several who need cards!

Lovely Evening!!

Well we have had a great, relaxed creative evening at Craft Club! We have welcomed a lovely new member Louise. We had the sketch challenge which came up with some lovely differences using the same design, unfortunately my cameras batteries were flat so couldn't take pictures but I will try and at least take one of mine tomorrow and maybe get hold of a couple of the other ladies beautiful cards to photo to show. They enjoyed it and seemed pleased with what they created.

I was welcomed as chair with open arms, we chatted non stop and the ladies seem excited about the future! Between us we have now heard of several people who will be returning! And are so very pleased. I may have even convinced 2 new people to rejoin today without even starting the advertising yet! I cannot wait to see what its like in a few short weeks time.

Jennies birthday was celebrated in card, cake and wine style - what an absolute riot she was after having been out on a cruise ship all day sipping cocktails! I laughed so hard, she was so funny.

I am really looking forward to next week and here was the sketch we used this week - a simple one to start, if you would like to have a go, feel free and post me the link - I will post a link back to your blog, enjoy!! :

Grrrrrrrooooowwwwlllll!!!

I love this card, I made this a couple of weeks ago for my friend Leigh's little boy Luke's 2nd birthday. It has goggly eyes and everything!!! Rarrrrrr!! Apparently he loved it, and was 'rarrrrring' all afternoon!

Here is a card I made yesterday.







And here's a close up!




I also made this one at Craft Club on Weds

Just for you weave

I made this today for a friend. I adapted the idea here from Kristinas blog where she did a weave card for her Make a card Monday this week, which once again is inspirational. I have finally worked my way through her blog and watched her videos and all I want to do now is make cards! Thanks Kristina!

Here is a closer shot of the weave, I had to use what I had available:

More cards

This one on the left didn't have the tags or flowers on for a while as I couldn't decide what to do. In the end I used a Just for You stamp, some ink it up ink and clear heat embossing powder, then attached with a brad, then stuck a lovely peel off onto some orage tissue paper. The ribbon brads are just lovely. I have a thing about brads at the moment but I am trying to use them sparingly as I could really go to town with them! I also used little heart border peel offs and vellum for the spotty backdrop.
The other one is an origami shirt card I made for my dad for his birthday, very 60's and retro don'tcha think?!
Its so cute, I absolutely loved it.

And the last I am copying and pasting..

OMG I am hopeless, again!! Haha

Oh my, its been sooooooooooo incredibly long since I did anything on here, over a year in fact! So much has happened, the nasty teacher has gone for a start and the nasty kid, WOOHOO!! R is so much happier at school.
In fact R has just been chosen (handpicked, requested, call it what you like!) to be a Von Trapp daughter in a production of the Sound Of Music in Nov for Culture week. So proud!.
Sad news is we had to have one of our cats put down just before Easter and that my DH is off to Afghanistan for 4 months in August , yes somewhat worrying!
More recenltly I have gotten into crafting, cardmaking to be specific and I am hoping to be able to post some cards up on here soon and keep this blog as a kind of diary - if I remember as you know I am crap!
