Morning friends.......hope you're all well & enjoying the long weekend!

We have the typical bank holiday weather today.......so wet & miserable even

 the cats didn't want to venture outside! Yet another book page to share today.

......not many left now lol. The theme for this one was flowers & I wanted to

try for something a bit different, a change from the usual flower colours.

The brown base & the circle were all painted with mica pearls, the petals were

 all hand cut using up lots of scraps & I simply arranged them around

the cog........attached a length of chain & added the bee charm........done!

That's me for today so thanks for calling, have a good day & I'll see you soon.

Friendship

Morning friends.......hope you're all well.

We woke to a dull, grey & damp morning.........typical British Bank Holiday
 weather lol. Today's card is a bit different to my usual and was so quick &
easy to make. The colours look a lot softer in real life, you wouldn't believe
how many pics I took before I settled on this one! I think this style would
suit many occasions & plan on making a few more.....so watch this space lol.

Rightio, keeping it short & sweet today cos we're off shopping....

....thanks for calling......see you soon.

Sharing an Oldie this Friday

Morning  friends......happy Friday!

School's out today for a week so it'll be lovely to have some

home time with my youngest 2.....Bex & me will probably have some

crafty time and maybe watch a film or two....and hopefully a shopping day.

My youngest son Nic will hopefully relax a bit.....he's busy with exams right

now.......8 down, 12 to go....ooh, I remember those times well!

So on the crafting front it's that time of the week where the lovely Erika

 over at Snappycrafts invites us all to share an oldie......craft style, of 

course lol. This little rock star card was for my boy Chris's birthday.......he

 dresses & wears his hair just like this image.....and I think it might have

 been my 1st easel card too.

Rightio, lots to do today so I'll just say thanks for calling.....see you soon!

Egypt book page

Hi friends......hope you're all well.

It's been a nice day here, washing all dried, kids been fed.....now I'm gonna

have an hour at my desk. First though, I have a book page to share...the

theme was Egypt & boy, did I struggle with this one! The paper came from

an old book....I inked the edges & distressed with my craft knife. The map 

& letters were cut on my Silhouette, the image came from an old 

colouring book & was coloured with my Copics.

Thanks for calling......see you soon.
