Boy with Tulips

Hi, I've had a busy weekend! I went to a concert in the local park on Friday night. Latin Music, put on by our local council. My daughter and one of my friends, Fran and I sat and relaxed in the lovely evening breeze after a hot day and listened to the music. Saturday morning saw me up early making small cakes, 4 dozen, then to the shops to buy bits and pieces for the evening meal. Travelled about 45 mins down to a friend's place for a craft session and then back again at 6.30p.m to get the meal ready for some of my family who came to eat with us. Then I stayed up till after 12p.m. jellying the cakes. I crawled into bed and was then up again early to whip cream, split the cakes and fill them. The choir I'm in were catering for a concert as a fundraiser. I was out of the house by 9.25 a.m. to get to church and then back home by about 12 noon to pick up the cakes and take back into town to drop them off at the venue. Before I did that I picked up Fran, we delivered the cakes and then went off to a craft shop! So.... after all that, I managed to put this card together
I hope you all had a great weekend,

Get well Teddy

I stamped this bear yesterday and put the card together this morning. It is on a white base card, I've just used a postal pack behind it to define the edges of the card,

Three wise men

Hi, here is another one for my Christmas stash using a retired SU set, all the other components are from those crafting goodies I mentioned earlier that are lurking in cupboards and drawers! I've entered this into Shirley's Christmas Card Challenge
Thanks once more for popping in and looking at what I've made,

Teddy Bear with paper embroidery

Hi, I didn't manage to get a card completed today and I've had too many late nights which are starting to catch up with me, so.... I decided to share this card which has paper embroidery on it. This technique would be my favourite one but of course takes quite a bit more time than stamping a card. I've been doing it for at least 10 years and have lots of books/patterns that will keep me stitching for a long time. I've only been playing with stamps for about 3 years after saying I would never take it up as a craft. Oh boy, I have collected lots of stamps and am always seeing another set or single stamp that I would like!!
Hope you enjoy the card,
Thanks for stopping by.

Time for Cake

In between doing some more washing I had a play with a set of stamps that came with the do craft magazine. The cupcakes came from another little set on the same theme and I used the words and the flower that came with the free set. I based the card on a sketch card. Thanks also to Shirley for this lovely backing paper that she gifted me with at class today.
Hope you enjoy viewing,

Angel for Christmas

Hi again, I'm back on with one I've just finished for my Christmas Stash. I've actually embossed a couple of lines and the pearls sit between them. Sorry they don't show up on the scan.
Hope you all have had a great day!

Another Owl card

Well, I've had a busy day - housework, dishes @ laundry and then up to my daughter's to help her move furniture, unpack and find homes for things as they moved house on the weekend and I also babysat my youngest granddaughter, not quite 3 yet. I'm now home and my oldest daughter has cooked tea - pasta and it's got yucky mushrooms in it! Anyway, couldn't help myself. I've made another owl card.
