More owls

Had another brillliant long weekend. Met up with some fab friends, spent a little bit of money at the Big stamp and scrapbooking show and ooooh yep - had a laugh :o)

I made this card for my aunt's birthday last month. Love these Stampin Up papers - especially how they co-ordinate perfectly with the ribbon :o) The owl stamp is a Rachelle Anne Miller one from Glitter Pot and the sentiment is from Penny Black.


I'm sure I used a sketch but can't remember where from - sorry!

Twitt Twoo Kerrie ;o)

This card shows 2 things that a certain person has got me addicted to - Stampin Up and Owls!!! The funny thing is that I'm so glad that she did :o)

So when her birthday was coming up, I just knew what I had to include on her card.

The funny thing was that I made quite a bit of this card while she was sat right next to me LOL



It was also the first time that I'd used my Sizzix scalloped die ---- which she also convinced me (along with the help of my mum, niece and nephew) that I needed. Yep she was right again ;o)

Happy Anniversary

The end of the March is a busy time of year for family cards. 3 of my aunts/uncles celebrate their wedding anniversaries within 2 days of each other so cards are required ---- by mum :)

Just realised that I've used 3 of my favourite craft companies on these cards - Stampin Up, Penny Black and Doodlebug.

Another apology

Can't believe that it's been nearly a month since I last blogged - oops!

It has been a jam packed month including a crafty meet up at Glitter Pot with the girls, England football at Wembley, decorating, re-organising my craft room (thank you Kerrie!), working like a demon at work and oh yeah - buying a sewing machine which I still haven't had the courage to use!

I have been making cards but just haven't had the time to put them on here. I'm aiming to show at least 1 card every day for the next couple of weeks - just need to work out which cards I haven't put on here already.

First up is my nephew's birthday card. He was 13 at the beginning of April. Now what do you do for a football mad teenager. Yep, red and white (Liverpool) again !!! It's sad but he likes it LOL

The 13 is chipboard that was cut out for me by a fab friend on her new Cricut Expression.



The next challenge will what to do for his brother who'll be 20 in 2 weeks time. Aaagggh no panic!

Hopefully, I'll be back tomorrow with another card ;o)

No time to ......

Please fill in the missing word of your choice LOL

Mine would be breathe, think, craft or even ??? Anyone with my stupid sense of humour will know what this word is ;o)

Life has really been hectic for the last couple of months now and it doesn't look like it's going to ease up anytime soon.

I have had a little break. A whole long weekend away with some fab crafty mates in a gorgeous cottage near Ely. It really did me the world of good (thanks girls xxx) but boy oh boy, I've been back at home 3 days and still need to catch up on some sleep LOL

As part of our weekend, the fab Michelle came along and did a Stampin Up demo and we had a brilliant time and made these gorgeous projects. Excuse the dodgy photo's - they are lovely in real life - even if I do say so myself LOL

I promise to blog more regularly when work has calmed down.

Another pink card

I made this card for a fab friend who - can you guess - is a fellow pink lover LOL

The image is from the Stampin Up set - Fun and Fast Notes. The image (and ribbon) has been coloured using Copics. The papers are Doodlebug.

Yummy cupcakes

Another Stampin' Up set that I love :)
