Birthday Beer!

Hi my crafty friends, hope you're well & your weekend has gotten

off to a good start. Another beautiful day here, I'm sat in the craft room & I've

had to close the blinds it's that bright........and it's that warm I've got the fan on!

I have a male themed card topper to share today, the image is from a

Hunkydory sheet....part of the Good Sport collection....I simply added some

gold mirri & a die cut frame......both Hunkydory too. It's a fabulous

collection, you get so much for your money & it's so well thought out you

really know everything is going to work well together.

Rightio, that's me for today.....thanks for popping by & for any comments you

might leave......have a lovely weekend.

Using up some stash

Hi crafty friends & bloggers, hope you're all well. Dare I say it out loud but it's

another beautiful day here, full of sunshine & a slight breeze.

So today I have some decoupaged floral card toppers to share, they were a free gift

with a magazine some time ago. A box full of card blanks, sentiments and gorgeous

floral elements. Well I could have used them as they were but thought I'd see how far

I could stretch them......I think I got 12 in total with a few elements left over!

I cut the card blanks in half, layered them onto coordinating cardstock then started

the floral layers. I finished with a sentiment & some faux gems.

Here's a closer look at the layers:

So, so pretty IRL.....and I'm so pleased I got to use up some stash!

Thanks for calling & for any comments you might leave, hopefully I'll

see you tomorrow.

For You..........

Hi crafty friends & bloggers, hope you're all well.....Happy Valentine's Day!

It's been a beautiful day here on the Yorkshire Coast, the sun was out, the skies were

 blue......and I had washing on the line.....doesn't take much to please me lol!

It's been a funny old week, nothing went to plan.....I had a hospital appointment

that went quite well, one of my boys had to go  into hospital (that didn't go quite as

well), but he's home now so hopefully it's onwards & upwards.......and I can get 

caught up on some crafting & blogging!

So today I have another skull topper to share.....could be for Valentine's, birthday

 or even a 'just because' card.  Some simple matting & layering, some die cuts &

finished with some pink gems........job done.

Thanks so much for popping by & for any comments you might leave.....

.......hopefully I'll see you tomorrow.

With Love

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well. It feels a little warmer here today although

it's still a bit grey & dark......but it is dry so that's a bonus!

I managed a little craft time earlier, the clear out has gone on hold while I 'm in the

mood to actually make something bu I'm sure I'll be back to it pretty soon.

Today's make I think would suit almost any occasion ( did make it with Valentine's Day

 in mind)......if you like skulls & roses,that is.....found these sheets when I started the clear

 out & they are so quick & easy to make up.....and I do love a bit of decoupage now & again!

You can see the layers a bit better here

Thanks for calling......and don't forget I have a new challenge HERE, I'd

love you to enter! See you tomorrow.

I'm Back!

  

Hi my crafty friends......it's been a little while, I hope you're still there?

I'll start by saying thanks you so much for all the lovely messages I received after I lost

my Dad in December.....I so appreciate you all taking the time to get in touch, it

means so much. Things have calmed down a little, we're through all the paperwork

etc., we've emptied the house, we've gotten through Christmas......and now we're picking

up the pieces & getting on with our lives.....just as Dad would have wanted.

*

Anyway, a belated Happy New Year to you all.....here's hoping you had a wonderful

Christmas & a great start to the New Year.......can't believe it's February already lol!

Hope you're all safe & warm.....we've had some snow this morning, not too much

but oh my, it's blooming cold! Thank goodness for toastie warm craft rooms!

*

Talking of which, I've finally made it into the craft room, not really made much of anything

 but at least I got through the door lol. I'm thinking a good clear up is in order.......why oh

why do I keep all this stuff....I swear some of it's as old as my oldest child..... he's 31!!

I have lots of ideas for the blog for this year..... I have so many different products

I thought I'd like to do product reviews, maybe some hints & tips.....I might

 even persuade Miss Rebecca to do a tutorial or two. And how about a monthly

challenge? Would you join me in that? Just a simple theme, not too many rules but

with a chance to win a little prize.

*

Rightio, I'll leave it at that for now.......I can't wait to have a catch up on your

blogs & see what you've all been up to. Thanks for calling & I'll see you tomorrow

when hopefully I'll have a little something to share.

Some sad news.......

Hi my crafty friends, I hope you're all well.

Just wanted to pop on & say sorry for not being around for the last few weeks.

Some of you know my Dad had been poorly for some time, sadly

he passed away on December 1st after an horrendous couple of weeks. Even though

it was expected it was still such a shock....but a very peaceful end

His funeral was yesterday & I hope we did him proud....it was such a sad day but

I was so very proud watching 4 of my sons carry their Grandad's coffin.......now we

 have to try to move forward & have the fun-filled family Christmas he wanted for us...

....he certainly left lots of instructions....and made all of us promise to eat sprouts lol!

Dad died on the anniversary of my partner, Steve's death......I'm thinking the

two of them will be somewhere fighting over the remote control &

watching sports together! 

I'm hoping to be back in my craft room after Christmas, I need it now more

than ever.......I definitely have a crafty itch that needs scratching lol!

Thanks for popping in.........whatever you're up to have a lovely day....and don't 

forget to give your loved ones a hug......speak soon.
