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

New Home 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.

Catch up soon

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

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
