First Card Of The Year....................

Just a quick post today...my first card of the year...a birthday card for a friend back in the UK ...love this design have made a couple of similar ones before...anyways down to the task in hand...hope you like!



Thank you for looking...hope you're enjoying your weekend...take care!!

A Belated HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!......

Well here I am back from my Christmas holiday in England and at the moment am trying so hard to catch up with all my blog visits......must have missed so much......but onwards and upwards as they say......LOL.

To everyone who visits and reads my blog I hope you had a lovely Christmas and hope that 2011 brings you all that you're hoping for...but most importantly health and happiness!! We had a fairly quiet Christmas and New Year but had a lovely time and loved seeing everyone. It was great being with the grandchildren again...they are really growing up...you dont really see it as much when you're looking at them sat at the computer speaking on Skype...but we loved every minute of it and boy do I wish I had my youngest grandson's energy......LOL.

Don't know who makes New Year resolutions anymore...lol...but I've made one or two...not that I'm going to tell you what they are...just in case they're not fulfilled...lol...though a couple of them are craft related !!

In my last posting I said that I'd be back to post some more cards before we went away...well it ended that I was just too busy and never did get back on here.....I thought I'd just forget it and not post them now Christmas has gone...but I've noticed people are still posting them for one reason or another so I've had a change of mind and am now going to upload them. Here goes..............





The above card was photographed before I put the snowflake in the top corner of the topper...it did look much better with it...but forgot to re-photograph the card...not to worry...lol







Well that's it for now.....thank you for looking.....hope you call again.....have a lovely weekend.....take care!!

Another Card To Share.........

Hello there hope you're all well.....I've just been having a quick blog-hop and catch up.....as usual great stuff on show....lots of talented ladies. As the title 0f the post says I've another card to share with you. I used a download from The Clipart Fairy for the image......the holly paper is from Shirley's Cards.....everything else used is from my stash.

Will be posting more at the end of the week hopefully then I dont know if I'll be posting anymore this year because next week I'll be getting ready to go on my "jolly hollyday" to England.....we're going over for Christmas and the New Year.....and I cant wait......0nly 10 more sleeps....LOL...LOL

Anyways here's the card I came here to post...hope you like.




While I'm here I'll post another digi scrapbook page too.....as I've said before (I think..lol) I'm really getting into this.....its really fun and also very addictive. I used Wishing On A Starr's freebie kit "It's A Kind Of Magic" for the page but added the mask, butterflies and flower centres from elsewhere.



Thank you for popping by......call again soon.....I'm now going to see if my washing machine is finally going to play nicely I haven't been able to get it to start this morning....and that's all I need at the minute a broken washing machine.....will have to wait until OH gets home from golf this evening if I cant remedy the situation.....never mind will have to console myself with a bit of crafting....LOL

Until next time......take care!!

Oh my....I see its going to be one of those days I think...my signature has disappeared now...I'm counting but I dont know if I'll reach 10.....!!!!

Hello again........

Another card and a scrapbook page from not so sunny Spain to show you...the weather is awful at the minute but I have to say not half as bad as it is in the UK....it looks really dreadful by what we've been seeing on the news. Hope you dont have to suffer it for too long.

Well down to what I came on here for...my uploads...the card is for my nephew who's birthday it is on Thursday hope he still likes Ben 10 I should really have checked first.



I received another FSB....the Featured Scrapbook for today....thrilled again...but it was only on a second thought that I uploaded it to DaisyTrail...I didn't really do the page to upload it...I was just having a mess around with various elements from different kits but then I thought well I wont lose anything by doing so and as I've said it got me the FSB....lol The children in the picture are my grandchildren.



Well this was a quick visit but that's it for today I'm afraid....until next time thank you for stopping by...take care!

Yet Another Christmas Card.......

I'm getting there very, very slowly but surely...LOL...here's another Christmas card made...one of six of the same design to be exact...colours vary but they're still the same type of card and the easel card that I uploaded in my last post was one of four of the same card so really I'm not doing too badly I dont think...LOL



The image is "Cherry Kisses Wreath" from Pollycraft Designs coloured with Promarkers, the backing paper is one of Jak Heath's and everything else I used is from my stash.

I'm also uploading another digi-scrapbook page to show you....this one got me the FSB...Featured Scrapbook...for yesterday on the DaisyTrail forum.....I was really pleased about that.




Backing paper "Fall Kiss" mini kit - Dreamer's Magic Designs.
Cluster "Along A Dusty Path" - Pam Lefors Designs.
Page edging - Granny Art.

Well thats about it for this session so until next time thank you for calling by.....take care!!

Good Evening......

Just a quick update...I thought I'd upload my recent digi-scrapbook pages...though I'll have to really put my mind into making my christmas cards soon because they're not going to make themselves are they...LOL. Anyways here they are hope you enjoy looking.






Thank you for popping by.....and take care.

My Goodness It's Been A Long Time.....

........I didn't realise how long it's been since I last posted on here...I'm letting myself down big time...with all my good intentions too...but I SHALL update more often I promise...and no I haven't got my fingers crossed...I think I remember saying that before.....LOL !!

I haven't had a good blog-hop for some time either...I know I'm missing out on so much out there...over the next few day's I'll be making a few visits though.

I am still really into digi-scrapbooking...I find it totally addictive...so much so that my card making seems to have been put on the back-burner...but I'm going to post a Christmas card I made last night from a download from The Clipart Fairy. I really do love this style of card...anyways here goes....




Hope you like. Watch this space there's going to be more....LOL !!

As I have just said I really am into digi-scrapbooking at the moment so if there is anyone out there that actually reads my posts here's one or two of my recent layouts.





Well there you are as they say...I must admit they're not as good as some you get on the Daisy Trail forum...but as the saying goes "you have to start somewhere"...LOL !!

It's been a short...but hopefully you'll think a sweet visit...so until next time thank you for popping by...come again...and take care!!
