School Days

Yippeee I've done another couple of pages for my sister's 40th scrapbook. Thankfully, this weeks challenge over on UKScrappers gave me another kick up the bum and I came up with the 1st page which then kind of led to the 2nd one.




Remind me not to tell my sister, when I give her the scrapbook next January, that her school pictures were on my blog.

What's next???

Let's hope it's gorgeous hot sunshine LOL




After the weird weather yesterday, I guess that it's no surprise that we woke up to snow this morning. It was coming down really thickly about 9ish this morning but thankfully it stopped, hung around for a few hours and is now starting to thaw.


I really never thought I'd be taking snowy photos at Easter :o)

Golden wedding

Here are the 2 cards that I've made for my aunt and uncle's Golden Wedding Anniversary next week.

This one is from me


and this one's from my mum and dad.




I think I used Mojo Monday Sketch #27 for this one. The papers are Pebbles Inc and they're gorgeous.

I've now opened up a can of worms by asking a question to my mum and one of her sister's --- when is their youngest brother's ruby wedding anniversary??? Just hope it isn't this year otherwise I'll be having a mass panic this weekend to get a different card done as his anniversary is one of the ones next week --- eek!

Happy Easter

Well, it might be Easter but it feels like Winter. These were the views out of my windows about 10 minutes ago.

This morning, we've had snow, sleet, hail, rain, wind and now we're back to sun. Had to rescue my recycling bins twice. Roll on Spring LOL

Hope everyone has a great Easter :o)

Wedding Anniversaries

My poor nan must have struggled at the end of March as 3 of her children have wedding anniversaries on 27th, 28th and 29th of March.

Thankfully, mum gave me the okay to make 2 cards the same LOL So I've made this one twice for mum to give to her 2 brothers.

Now got to get my thinking cap on as the last one of the trio is my Auntie Daph's golden wedding anniversary. Need to make 2 cards for that one. Eeeeek watch this space !!!

Lots of pink

Is there a better colour ??? :o)

Both of these cards are for my cousin. I know I'm biased but she really is the best.

She became a proud nanny on Boxing Day when her son's girlfriend had a little girl. She already has 2 grandsons (one of them is a regular on the Paul O'Grady show) but she now can buy loads of pink for Nicole.

I used Beate's Weekend Sketch #35 for this one.



This is my first Sugar Nellie card - isn't she cute!!! I thought I'd better make a card with her as I've ordered some of the lovely new ones from Funky Kits. Can't wait to get home from work as they might be waiting for me.

3 bundles of energy

This card is for my mum and dad to give to their neighbour.

Val has got 2 cocker spaniels (Holly and Fitz) and often looks after her daughter's Cocker Spaniel (Ella). Ella and Fitz are sister and brother and Holly, although not related, is like the auntie. You can sometimes catch her looking at the 2 "youngsters" and I'm sure she's rolling her eyes and thinking "the youth of today" :o)

Holly might be older but she's got as much energy as the other 2. If they are out for a walk and my parents front door is open, Holly will drag poor Val down the path to go and see my mum and get a biscuit. She treats their house just like her own LOL

Anyway, this stamp was just right for Val's card.
