Happy Birthday Eileen.....


Before I mention the above birthday card this has been a very difficult week for me loosing my lovely friend Karen of (Serendipty Dragaonfly).
 Karen and I meet 13 years or more at a craft show when I was demonstrating, Karen always used to turn up and watch my demonstration  we always chatted a lot and we just clicked....several ladies asked if I would start up a craft group and instantly Karen said 'I will help you'...so that was the start of a great friendship and also was how our Crafty Bunch club got started that was nearly 12 years ago.
Karen was so talented not just with making cards but everything, sewing, painting, machine embriodery and was also a great cook, she even used to grow veggies and enter them in local shows and won, there was nothing she couldn't turn her hand to... 
Karen had to step down from club 17 months ago due to her cancer, she was a great loss to our club but always wanted to know what we were up to.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tony and Karen's sister Val (Canonbury Creations) and family.. ..we miss you lovely lady....

The above card was made for my friend Eileen who's birthday it is today ..I've used my favourite flower dies Spellbinders Arianna  Blooms and SW Noble Double pierced dies...

Our grandchildren on still on holiday so I might not be around for another week as we always like to spend time with them all...

Pixie Snippets playground...week 221...

 Cant believe its two weeks since I lasted blogged but we've been making the most of the glorious weather we've had over the last couple of weeks .  We spent 4 days on the Isle of Wight which was lovely and also time in the garden so I'm afraid I crafting has taken a back seat.

I did manage to put together a card for Pixies Snippets Challenge yesterday
beautiful coloured image is from a CD called Carnival of Colour by Oh La La...
embossed bits are various oddments and so is the ribbon. 

The weather today down here in Somerset is cloudy and cold so an ideal day to spent crafting...

Happy Mothers day to all you mums out there...
Another week has flown by and once again its the Pixies Snippets Challenge..
 My card this week is a Christmas one, found this little Judikins angel in my box and the background was already embossed so a very  quick card to make unfortunately the sparkly bits on the card dont show up on the photograph..

Its a lovely sunny morning down here in Somerset and hope all your mums have a lovely day...
