Water Lily Skiing...

An old wooden but lovely PB stamp stamp  which goes back to 2001...its called Water Lily skiing. coloured with pencils and popped onto an embossed butterfly background... Used one of my tiny Dragonfly embellishments ( I have lots of these from when they were in 'fashion' years ago).

Kept it very simple.

Well what fabulous weather we are having, you really do have to make the most of it...the gardens centre's have been so busy, Spring is my favourite time of the year when the garden and tubs come alive with colour, it much too nice to be in the craft room.... enjoy the sunshine..

Embroidered Horse...

I'm still around but haven't  been making many cards recently as I've been knitting and crocheting....I knit blankets and hats for premature babies this also gets rid of some of my mountain of wool..

Having a clear out of a sewing box I came across a few embroidered images which I have have for years.  Rather than send them all  to Charity I  have kept a couple which I will use to make cards with the Horse design being one of them.

I found this dotty embossed background in my scrap box which I have coloured with to blend in with the ivy leaves and card....

Thank you for stopping by on this chilly afternoon...

40th Birthday...

Another masculine card this time a commissioned 40th....I just love the Hunky-dory pre printed images for men...made a small map book and added as an embellishment...stuck the 40th onto a squashed bottle top....

We were very lucky during the storm only lots  few ridge tiles which came down with such force a couple were stuck in the lawn like arrows....thankfully they were from the back of the house and not on the main roof....hopefully being replaced next week...weather permitting...

Hopefully you were all safe and didn't have much damage during the awful winds..

It's a bit windy here today and raining...best place in your craft room..

thanks for stopping by

Approaching Perfection

Hopefully this card is ok for a male...Its a SU set called Approaching Perfect which I found on that well known auction site.

  Just finishing the card off when a blob of red ink dropped on my card hence the 2nd sentiment being lower down....but don't think the recipient would notice it looks better in the flesh!..

What a horrible day, wet and very windy but just the kind of day to craft...

have a good day everyone..

Daffodil Delight....

Sorry I've not been blogging much recently, I haven't been idle but I've been doing other things hence not spending time in the craft room, that's the problem with more than one hobby...

This lovely daffodil card was made at a coffee and card morning with the lovely Jill Lackford on Saturday.....I only send one Easter Card a year and that's to a dear friend so thought this would be ideal... SU cards tend to be 6" x 4" which are cards I don't make so I've put another mat behind the front of the made and made it into a 5" x 7"...

I have got other things on my desk waiting to be finished off so must get down to completing the cards... 

Thanks for taking to time to stop by

The Cats whiskers...

When I saw this image on my friend Val's blog I loved it ...  Val very kindly stamped a couple of images for me.... they are Trilby Cats from Crafty Individuals...the sentiment is computer generated... 

I have a couple of stamps from Crafty Individuals which I am ashamed to say haven't seen any ink yet...but this is has fired me up to get them out....so watch this space.

It's a miserable day down her in Somerset, cloudy and damp..so I reckon the best place to be is in the craft room.. That's its from me.

Sapphire Anniversary....

Sorry I've been a bad blogger and not posted but I have been busy 'behind' the scenes making birthday and anniversary cards for January and February,  this is the first one I can show you as its our friends Sapphire Anniversary 45 years today....although having posted the card off last Thursday it still hasn't arrived.... I don't think we are getting post everyday now and talking to a couple of friends they think the same...

Anyway again trying to us up my stash I've used a paper doily and an image which I've had for years but can't remember where it came from apart from a craft fair many moons ago....  

Did you know that there are two Sapphire Wedding anniversaries?  I didn't until a friend told me it was their 65th anniversary and this one is called Blue Sapphire Anniversary.... you learn something every day..

Its been very foggy and  frosty here today and I read that snow is on its way for the UK....fingers crossed it doesn't reach Somerset..

Thanks for stopping by
