One stamp ......two cards

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all well. It's the last day of our holiday in Somerset today and we have had a fab time. Good job we also have next week off to recover! And we have an extra treat of going to see the new West End show - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I can't wait!

Anyway on to a bit more crafting and it is two of my friend's wedding anniversaries today, so I decided to use the same Forever Friends stamp but with two different backgrounds. Here they are:-





It is also Debbie's birthday today (see my other post for today!!).

I hope you like them both - Let me know what you think.

Catch up soon!

You're my best friend.....

Hello Everyone!

Have you all melted yet?? - it certainly is very warm here at the mo - and I don't wish to complain but it is a bit too hot for me to sit out in it! However, we are off on our summer holiday on Saturday so we would like this nice sunny weather to last but it could cool down a smidge- especially as we will have the dogs with us. Don't think going for long walks in 30 degree heat is ideal from them!

But, on to the crafting and it's one of my best friend's birthday today so an ideal opportunity to us the Best Friends SWALK stamp from Crafters Companion again. I also used the Forever Friends Kraft Notes paper pad which I really like at the mo. Here's the card:-





Rather than putting the sentiment on the front I thought I'd put it on the inside. What do you think?? I hope you like it, and I hope Ann does too! Personally I think I have done a bit better with the hair on this one.

As we are on holiday for a week I've got to make another 3 cards this week - not quite sure how I'm going to fit that in as well as packing, but I'll give it a good try!!

See you again soon

Crafty Friends Team 2 Challenge - Photo Inspiration

Hello Everyone!

Phew what a scorcher! At last the weather has turned the corner here in Kent and we are loving the Sunshine! However I am also taking part in the Cancer Research Race for Life 5K tomorrow - could be a tadge warm - drinks are already in the freezer. Think I might have to walk some of it rather than run - but at least there is no time limit!

So on to the Crafty Friends Team 2 challenge and this time it is a photo inspiration challenge - and quite appropriate as the weather has improved!

 
For this challenge we are sponsored by:-
 



I've used the Summer Shades image from Stitchy Bears and here she is on my card:-

 
Hope you like it - and take it from me the ribbons and gems are pink but they do look a bit red in this photo.
 
Come and join in the challenge at the Crafty Friends Challenge Blog - we'd love to see your entries.
 

Right early night in store for me tonight in anticipation for tomorrow's Race for Life. If you would like to make a donation you can always click on this link http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/klearlycleverchicks
