Teddy Bo Birthday

Hi all

Me again! Busy day today with my posts......

Today also sees our friend Scott's birthday and so of course I had to make a card and how could I resist Teddy Bo!

apologises that this photo is a bit fuzzy - too late to take another one ..Scott now has it lol!!

This is a new Teddy Bo stamp that you can buy from the store - you can also have a look at the Teddy Bo Challenge Blog and come and join our little family!!

Scott's Mother-in-Law also asked me to make a gift card for him as she has treated him to a theatre break and this is the card I made for her....

I found the picture on the interweb and printed it onto Kraft Neenah card. Looks quite good I thought!

Enjoy your birthday Scott!

See you again for another post soon!

Hi Everyone

How are you all - not been here for a little while, sorry!!

So.... here is a little creation I made a few weeks ago but only been able to blog it today as we have now given this to our Slimming World consultant, Ellen, who is taking a few weeks off to have her baby boy. This is a brand new digitsamp that is available to buy from Teddy Bo - It's of course Teddy Bea.......

I put two extra blank cards inside it so that there was enough room for us all to sign it.

Hope you like it - and I'm sure Ellen does too!

Don't forget you can now buy this stamp over at Teddy Bo Stamps and don't forget to check our Teddy Bo Challenge blog for our new challenges.

Wedding Congratulations part two

Hi Me again!

As I said on my last post, I was invited to two weddings this weekend - but of course I could only go to one. I picked to go to Laurie's wedding reception, who is one of my friends from my Slimming World group. I found out before hand that Laurie's theme is Red & White so here is the card that I have made for her and her new hubby Steve.

I've used one of the pre-printed images from LOTV from one of their Art Pads. The greeting is also from LOTV.

I'm hoping that Laurie & Steve like this card - I do!!

See you again soon

Wedding Congratulations - part one

Hi Everyone

Here is the first of two posts from me today. Can you believe that I don't get any wedding invites for years and when you do, you get two for the same day!! Always the way. So I had to choose which one to go to and this first card is for my work colleague Laura - this is the wedding I'm not going to.

I've used a digi-stamp from Teddy Bo (watch this space for the up and coming re-launch and DT call very soon!!).

I don't normally use pink, but as Laura has a pink theme for her wedding I had to fit in!

Congratulations Laura and Ben - I hope you like your card!

Watch this space for the second post later on today

See you soon

As I mentioned on my last post - today is my friend Debbie's birthday today (as well as her wedding anniversary). Debbie happened to mention when we were on a shopping trip a few weeks ago that they are going camping in the school holidays and I then found this perfect image from Saturated Canary:-

I wonder if Deb will get to toast some marshmallows lol!

Anyway back to the card and I've used an image from on of the LOTV pads and I've coloured it with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Spectrum Noir pens. My buddy Karen came to my rescue with the papers as whatever ones I was trying to use I couldn't get them to match!!

Hi All

Melted yet - we have! what a storm last night - feel knackered now after only 3 hours sleep and more to come tonight, oh what joy!

Anyway back to the crafting - now we don't have any wedding invites for years and the we have two for the same day! We can only go to one so this the RSVP decline card I have made for my work colleague - I'm sure they understand that we are unable to go:-

I've used the wedding dress stamp from Stampin' Up. I will of course make Laura a wedding day card nearer the time.

Hope you like it as well.

Right  - off to have a small glass of something in case the storms come back!

Happy Birthday - Saturated Canary Sara

Hi all

Hope you are all well - melted yet in this heatwave??!! Today is meant to be the hottest day of the year and is going to end with a bang. If it does I just hope it doesn't decide to do it when I'm on the way to the pool on Saturday morning!

Anyway back to the crafting and today is one of my best friends birthday and so of course I had to make her a lovely card. Not made one using an SC image for a while and I found this new one Sara so I thought I'd give it a try. Here is the card - what do you think??

I used the colour scheme to fit in with my favourite paperpad - Forever Friends Kraft Notes.

I'm hoping Ann likes it too - and watch this space in the next week for Ann's 40th (ruby) wedding anniversary card, her daughter Debbie's birthday card and also Debbie and her Husband Scott's Anniversary card - and they are all on the same day!

Catch up soon - keep cool!!

Hello

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

A Friend in Need....

Hi Everyone

How are you all doing - Ok I hope! I am very pleased to report that I have reached my target weight at Slimming World after 14 months - well chuffed!! Still had a bit of a gain this week but I'm still within my target weight. Anyway on with the crafting news.....unfortunately one of our friends was taken in to hospital this week - fingers crossed he is on the mend but of course I had to make a card. And here it is - I have the image saved as 'A friend in need' on my memory stick but I can't remember where I got the image from.... sorry!

The sentiment was a freebie from Birds Cards. I've coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

I hope you like him, I've heard that our friend does!

Hope to catch up with you all again soon

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello again everyone!

You all feeling in a romantic mood today?? No me neither haha - but I did make the effort to at least make a card. Always quite hard to do a Valentines card for a male I think but I found this cute image from Wee Stamps and thought it would be ideal!

Please ignore the really un-straight line at the bottom base layer - did that a bit wrong didn't I!! Good Job it's only staying in this house haha!

Hope Brent likes it!!

Bye for now
