Bella Wedding


Well i LOVE this image,don't you think its hard to find great wedding stamps,i do.Really enjoyed making this for my Aunty who's Brother-in Law is getting married tomorrow,made a little wallet pocket inside too.......OH and i thought you must all be getting sick of seeing my coffee machine in the background of my photographs so i shot this outside,lol. My house has lots of dark areas,i find it soooo hard to get a decent pic,need to have a good read of the cameras manual i think. Hope you have a lovely weekend everyone and thanks for popping by xx

Thank you Matey!!


I just wanted to share with you a pic of an early birthday present i recieved this week from my bestest matey Tara over at Happily Ever Crafting,i was absolutely blown away by her kindness and generosity!!! I've been thinking of getting a die cutting machine for some time so this had me jumping up and down!!! Thank you so much Tara you are an amazing friend and i feel blessed to have found you xx

Paddington Bear


AWWWW,Paddington Bear i think takes us all back to our childhood,i loved watching the series when i was little and remember having my own bear which had shiny red wellies,not sure what happened to him though,probabley lost in all the house moves growing up.Anyway i made this for my mum today,she collects bears,she's been feeling down lately so i thought he would bring a smile to her face.....it worked xx Oh and this stamp was a freebie with this months issue of Quick Cards Made Easy,LOVE a freebie !!

Not my usual


Well when im asked to make a card for a more mature lady i do find it hard to come up with something thats not too traditional,dont possess many floral stamps!! Remembered i had this Scrapbook kit by K&Co,love the soft colours so thought it would be ideal.xx

Card for Barney


I love using the Panduro cut out sheets for kids cards,i do feel like its a cheat though as there's not much work involved,but a great timesaver!! Again i used my FunkyHand win,stripey papers.xx

I've been tagged!!

Thanks Tara,here goes,

What was happening 10 years ago?
I was working on a flower stall on the high st,loved that job in the summer but oh so miserable in winter!!Josh,my son was a little angel then,only 5,Oh where does the time go?

Name 5 thing to do today.

Have to buy more craft stuff!!
Food shopping,boring!!!
House work,yes i swore,lol
Make more cards,yay!
Shave my legs!!!

Snacks i enjoy.
ohhhh,what dont i like more like!!
Bombay mix
Kettle crisps,especially with a lovely cold glass of Pino Grigio,trouble is if i have more than 1 glass i polish off a whole bag,and i dont mean a regular bag,they are so moorish!! Not very good for the old waistline!!

What is the first thing you would do if you were a millionaire?

Oh thats easy,i'd pack my son off to brat camp in the states for 6 months,He's driving me nuts!!! then i would travel,travel ,travel!! Then pay mum and dads morgage and give them enough to retire,etc,the list goes on and on!!

Places i have lived.

Well born and raised in the Yorkshire dales,moved to a tiny village near York when i was 9,dad was a gamekeeper,then moved back to the dales when i was 12,Scarborough and Filey in my late teens,following a boyfriend,it was his home town,big mistake!! Then moved back to my home town again in my early twenties,wanted to have the support of family when i became pregnant with Josh,thats it.xx

Will have a think on who to pass this on too xx
