A New Baby

Hello Friends, I know its been a while since my last blog post, my excuse is I've been quite poorly again and sometimes things like blogging have to take the back burner. I'm feeling a lot better now as I've had some of my medication increased. Mind you it hasn't stopped me from making cards! The card I'm showing today is one I've made for some friends who have had their first baby.

The Journey

Hello Friends, I hope you all had a lovely Easter? I worked all Easter weekend, no rest for me and no crafting!  (boo hoo) Anyhoo, I've got a couple of days off this week so hopefully I will get some cards done. Need loads of them to sell for charity.

Any way on to my card that I  have made for the boyfriends dad, whose birthday is this week. It's a favourite boy/man stamp of mine from Lili of the Valley. Their stamps are just so cute!

Daisy

Hello friends I hope you are all keeping well? I really don't know where the time goes! I've been so busy with work recently that I've not had a lot of time to myself. Anyway I did find time to make this card for my buddy Leigh Jones aka Charity Crafter, it was her birthday last week.

This stamp has got to be one of my favourites of all time and I was so pleased that Elisabeth Bell decided to license it to Elphine House after she withdrew her stamps from Sugar Nellie. I purchased the stamp from Elphine House which cost appx £10 inc postage, which was a lot cheaper than what the stamp was going for on Ebay!

So on to the card.........

I hope you all like my little creation, thank you for looking and any comments you leave are always lovely to read. I'm on holiday from Wednesday so after I get back from my trip to Stoke on Trent I'm going to be on a mission to visit all my friends blogs and get some serious card making in.

Have a great week,

Have a Beautiful Day!

Hello Friends, I hope you're all having a good week and staying in doors all wrapped up, it's blooming cold at the moment and extremely windy. I have spent today indoors, making a card using a Simply Sassy stamp from Sugar Nellie. I do love Krista Smith's stamps and digis they are so lovely to colour and I couldn't resist purchasing some more digis from her Etsy shop while she had her promotion on. Just waiting for them to hit my in box! Anyway here's my creation, I hope you like it?
