Morning lovelies, hope you're all well.
Today I have a topper to share......I used images from the Hunkydory picture perfect 
range & the coordinating die set.......such a lovely set to work with and the images
 are so pretty.......and you get so many! Simple matting & layering for this make then
I made the topper with images & frame, I raised this on foam pads then finished with
 a few die cut flowers & faux gems. I wanted a clean, fresh look for this card and 
so went for one of my favourite colour combos, lifted with a little white.
Rightio, that's me for today....thanks for calling & whatever you're up to.....I
hope you have a lovely day! See you tomorrow.

A topper to share today, more bits from the
 bit box used up for the distressed layers then I added the other bits & pieces....and finished
 with a couple of faux gems. 
Righto, better go get the tea on.....thanks for

Something For The Weekend!

Morning crafty friend & bloggers, hope you're all well....
.....and welcome to Something For The Weekend, my time to share something,
anything.....could be crafts, baking, a photo, a joke.....anything that takes
my fancy!
First up today is a photo....my gorgeous grandson Asher had just had

his highchair. We took him out, washed & changed him & he went straight
to bed without even opening an eye!!

Next up is kitty cat Willow.....and there she stayed til teatime!
What is it with cats & boxes?

Have a lovely day.....see you tomorrow!

Beautiful Birthday Wishes


Hi lovely friends, hope you're all well.
Thought we'd start with a weather report......it's a lovely, sunny day!!
I have a card to share today, this one made with elements from the latest
Hunkydory member's gift.....such a gorgeous collection in soft blues
& pinks matched with stripes, dots & gingham.....beautiful.
Lots of lovely layers for the base & I layered the sentiment onto silver
mirri then raised it all up on foam pads....added a die cut frame & a
few faux gems to finish.  This card was one Miss Rebecca asked me to
make for her to give to a friend......hope she likes it!
Rightio, lots to do today before Asher comes....thanks for calling &
whatever you're up to......have a lovely day.

Have A Fabulous Day


Morning, hope you're all well & warm....there's a definite change in the
weather today......cool, dark & promising rain......perfect crafting weather!
I have a super quick & easy card to share today....a base of white, a layer of
 black, a piece of patterned paper then I added words printed with my
little Dymo machine...a couple of die cuts and finished with faux gems.
I seem to be drawn more to these style of cards lately, love how they're so
quick to make & can be so easily adapted for any occasion.....although I
have a feeling I'll be making something fussy & fancy real soon!
What's your favourite style?
Rightio, lots to do today so I'll keep it short & sweet.....thanks for calling
and for any comments.....see you tomorrow!

Unicorn


Hi friends, hope you're all well and had a lovely, long Bank Holiday weekend....
......did you eat lots of chocolate?  It was lovely to spend time outdoors, we got a
few jobs done in the garden, had a lovely family dinner on Sunday.....and now it's back
to normal....and it's Wednesday already!! Don't know where the time goes, I feel
since I've gotten older time goes so much faster....soon be Christmas!!
Did I really say that out loud?? It'll nearly be time to make my yearly little book
of Christmas....and I really fancy doing a December Daily type journal this year.
Anyway, enough waffling from me....today I have a quick & easy layered
topper to share....more scraps from the scrap box for the die cut layers, finished 
with a die cut unicorn head, die cut stars & a few faux gems....job done.
No sentiment as I thought it would suit many occasions.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave comments, I so appreciate it &
I love to read them & visit you back. See you tomorrow.
