Happy 1st Birthday!

My how time flies. Last week was baby Mollies first birthday (my cousins little girl and hubby's god-daughter) I can't believe it's been a year already. I wanted to make her a card just perfect for a 1 year old, after all they are still babies and when I saw this it did make me laugh because she looks just like this - bald......lol and she loves her dummy!




She had a lovely day with a bit of a party but I'm not so sure she knew what all the fuss was about.



Right it's 11.15pm and my hair is still wet (aahhhh) best go and get it dried I suppose.

Good night all,

Nice Surprise!

Don't you just love it when you get a little parcel off the postman totally unexpected.




Yesterday I received this gorgeous card from one of my lovely blogging buddies Debs but thats not all because tucked inside this gorgeous card were some even more gorgeous Hangler & Stangler images, a whole bunch of them, needless to say I was absolutely delighted because as you know we can't get these stamps in the UK yet and they are not easy to come by otherwise. Thanks soooo much for these Debs, you made my day ;)

Life Taken Over.....

..By my new job......lol I really don't know how you peeps who work full-time most days of the year (and not term time!) keep house and family cope! I'm doing supply work and this placement is for 6 weeks, 30hrs a week and it's literally taken over my life. When I get in a 3.30pm each day after collecting my son from school, if I dare to sit down on the couch I'm done for because it's usually 6pm before I get up again and usually I wasn't a go to bed early person (midnight normally) but now come 10pm and I'm fit for nothing :( I don't seem to be able to get any me time and crafting and blogging are non existence. So I take my hat off to you peeps who do it all and cope too!....lol And if I'm totally honest I have been really unwell for a whole week so don't suppose that has helped but I'm still here ;)

Ok enough rambling, this is the card I made for the challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey the theme was to use some chipboard on your project, I've used a frame I found in my stash, I'm not very good with chipboard don't really know how to use it (if that makes sense.) The stamps are from my newest set (well one of them....lol) Studio Style, I just love this set it's ideal for us crafters and although you can't tell from my photo I've covered the jar with glossy accents, looks good IRL.

Thank you all who take time to stop by and visit it me (even when I'm not around....lol)

Take care,

May Class

This time I remembered to take a couple of pics of my class and what they made. I had 5 ladies attend and it was just nice - couldn't actually fit any more in....lol! They all thoroughly enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next one which will be using the "True Friend" stamp set which has been hugely neglected by me :(

I think we probably ran over the 2 hours to about 3......lol, we were having too much fun!

And these are some of the projects they made, unfortunately the other ladies left before I could photograph their makes.

Woohoo!

We got a new camera, couldn't really do without one, I mean a girl needs to photograph her work!....lol




This little one I made for the challenge over at a Passion for Papertrey, the theme was to make a card or project using your favorite colour and of course mine is pink, pink and pink! The papers I've used to make the little flower are free samples available on the Papertrey Ink website (try before you buy) and they are called pretty pastels, ink is vintage cream, card is kraft & sweet blush, button & twine PTI, sentiment is everyday classics, swirl stamp is Autumn Leaves and border punch is Martha Stewart and if you look closely I have sprayed it with Glimmer Mist (oh I do love this product.)

Thank you for stopping buy and reading my blog, I soooo appreciate it :)
