Father's Day......

....I know I'm a week late in posting this, but you know how it is.....

Anyway I'll keep this post short - bit late now after watching England lose miserably in their World Cup match - so here are the cards I made for my Dad and Brent's Dad:-

Didn't have a huge amount of time to get these done but I don't think they are too bad! I'll be back soon with a new wedding card - watch this space!

Saturated Canary - Jules

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all well been up to much crafting - I haven't really, just realised that Father's Day is just round the corner I better get a wriggle on!

Anyway on with today's card and it is for one of my friend's at my Slimming World group. I know that she has a cat so I thought I would use the Jules image from Saturated Canary.

Here she is - what do you think?

I quite like this colour combo! I also added some Glossy Accents to her shoes bit you can't really tell this from this image.

Hope you (and my friend) like her

Catch up again soon!

Best Friend Birthday

Hello

Me again, today is one of my best friend's (and work colleague) birthday - Karen and of course I had to make her a lovely card.

By chance Saturated Canary launched their Best Friend Selfie digi-stamp a few weeks ago and what perfect timing, I bought it straight away!

Here is Karen's Birthday card:-

I hope Karen likes it - she loves pink (not my favourite colour to work with!!), but I think this has turned out OK!

What do you think??

Catch up again with you all soon

1st Anniversary Card

Hello Everyone!

How have you all been - been a bit quiet here on the crafty front! For some reason everything seems to be taking ages to come together.

Here is a card I have managed to make - can you believe its a whole year since my brother got married! (plus I'm also 2 stone lighter than I was then!!).

I used one of the pre-printed designs from LOTV and coloured it with Pro & Flex markers. Greeting is from LOTV too. Love these new papers from Santoro - found them in The Range.

I hope Paul & Annie like it!

Well we are off on our Easter Holiday today - fingers crossed for the weather!

Look forward to reading your comments on this card

Hello Everyone

Hope you are all well....What's happened to the weather?? Last weekend it was Spring and now we're back to Winter again! Oh well fingers crossed it will warm up again soon!

I'm off to do the Sports Relief Swimathon on Sunday which is 1.5KM (60 lengths). If you haven't donated to the good cause of Sports Relief as yet, you could donate and sponsor me to do the swim on the following link:-  http://my.sportrelief.com/sponsor/lisawatkins

Thank you!

Anyway back to the crafting and this week my brother and his wife moved into a new house so of course I had to make a card and here it is:-

How cute is this little cottage from Saturated Canary?? And if I do say so myself I love these muted colours together. I hope Paul & Annie like it too!

Right I'm off now to do a few KM on the treadmill before the Swimathon tomorrow.

Party Acceptance

Hello everyone!

Seems like ages since I've blogged, done some colouring lately but not actually made them into cards! Need to get a wriggle on I've got a few to do for April!

Here is my latest card - a 'we accept your kind invitation to your party' from our friends for their 40th Wedding Anniversary and here it is:-

I've used Monty Mouse from Di's Digi downloads - cute isn't he! (I've also coloured him for my mum's mother's day card, but in warm greys).

Looking forward to the party in July!!

See you all again soon
