SORRY ABOUT NOT BLOGGING

I am sorry for not updating my blog, it seems ages since my last blog. Thing round here have been pretty hectic, although I have been making cards I do not seem to have had time to photograph them. I did have one to put on today but when I went to do it the photo was awful and didn't show up very well. I will try and put some on very soon.

The days just seem to fly past at the minute, my dad has been in hospital and this has caused a lot of worry for us all. He does seem better at the moment but still not quite right. My health has been a bit erratic of late and I know this is down to me trying to do to much, which I promised myself that I wouldn't do. I find it so hard to rest and sit and do nothing.

Also with the nice weather I have been spending time with my grandchildren, we have been to the beach and for ice creams after tea, when the homework is done of course lol. There is no more precious time than spending time with them and try and spend as much time as I can with them, they grow up to fast.

My granddaughter Ieasha has just spent 2 taster days at the senior school that she will be going to in September. I cannot believe she is going, were have all the years gone. Anyway Lisa and myself were on edge all the first day, wondering if she was ok and everything going through our minds as you do. No need to worry though she came home really excited and cannot wait to go she loved it.

Well I will finish now as I feel I might be waffling on. In answer to your question Jane yes I am blogging lol.

Thanks you for reading

BIRTHDAY CARD

I have made this card for my Mum to give to my Sister In-Law. Every year I have to do one with shoes on so as I have exhausted all the shoes in my collection I have gone back to the City Girls Collection.

I have painted them with distress inks and the papers I have used are from the Bo Bunny range, purchased from RWS. I have punched the flowers from some left over paper and put a rose in the middle. I just added a charm and some glitter glue on the sash on the dress and necklace.

I had lost my inspiration for making cards but thankfully it is back and I enjoyed painting and making this card, so hopefully it is back to stay, as it has been a bit all over the place the last few months.

Thank you for reading

All finished off with flowers and a charm.

TO HOT TO CRAFT

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather, i seems to hot to craft, but cards must be made. This is a baby card I have made for a friend. They all seem to be boy's at the moment. I have another friend about to give birth any day and know that is a boy to.




I have made the card like a book. I have used the Forever Friends decoupage and decorated it it with flowers and a charm.

I didn't have just the right color of flower so punched them out of the backing paper I have used. All finished with a charm and glitter. Congratulations to you both. Cannot wait for a cuddle.
