Happy 97th Birthday Grandma

My lovely Grandma was 97 on Sunday (bit late posting I know!!!) so on Saturday I made her this card.

It isnt quite how I thought it would turn out but I loved it and more importantly so does she.

Now my Grandma's sight isnt as good as it was so I made it as a A5 size card. The fabulous Monica kindly let me have some (I hope I get this right) Rose Red cardstock for the card blank and some Certainly Celery. The stamps is from a Level 2 Hostess set I dont know the name of and I have stamped it randomly using Rose Red, Regal Red and Certainly Celery. I have added some pearls and some ribbon I had at home which isnt SU but matches the Certainly Celery perfectly, I think it is by Bo Bunny. Sentiment as always is by Craftwork Cards.

I am really getting into the SU stuff and am having a party soon so will have more goodies to pay with!!!!!

P.S A big Thank You to Monica for the stuff and the inspiration!!!!!

I've been tagged!

I have been tagged by my Craft Buddy Natalie

I have 8 questions to answer.

1. If a movie was being made of your life who would you like to be cast to play yourself? and why?

2. You are spending a whole month on a desert island for charity and you have to choose your favourite celebrity to spend the first two weeks with & your least favourite celebrity to spend the second two weeks with, who would they be & why?

3. What are your three favourite crafting products?

4. If you could invent something to do anything what do you think it would be?

5. What are the last three books that you read?

6. QVC or Create & Craft?

7. Docrafts or Dovecraft or DCWV?

8. What is your claim to fame?

Ok here goes

Answer Number 1 - It would have to be Catherine Zeta Jones, because we both have dark hair and also she does musicals too aswell as just acting.

Answer Number 2 - The first 2 weeks would without a doubt be with David Tennant, I cannot say on here what I would like to spend the time doing but it doesnt involve chasing baddies!!!! The second 2 weeks, hhmmmm thats a hard one, would have to say this bloke on the radio station my husband listens too, its called Talk Sport and they talk a load of rubbish!! His voice really grates on me and my husband has the radio on all the time.

Answer Number 3 - Cricut, ribbon, stamps

Answer Number 4 - I would invent a 36 hour day, I never seem to have enough time!!

Answer Number 5 - HHmmm not read for a while since crafting takes over. Will have been on holiday last year, mostly chick lit!!!! However me and my 5 year old have just read some Magic Key books he is obsessed with so will have to say The Monster Hunt, The Raft Race and Missing!!!

Answer Number 6 - I used to like QVC but gone right off it, never really been a fan of C & C

Answer Number 7 - DCWV, quality and Nancy is a star, she makes me laugh when she is on QVC

Answer Number 8 - I was once on an episode of Tomorrows World when I was about 14 years old. They came to pick children from our school and I got picked!!!!

Most blogs I look at seem to have been tagged so I will leave it there!!

Thanks for reading

Not just cards!!!!

Been quite creative this week!!!!!

My youngest had a party to go to, and it was a Doctor Who fancy dress party!!!! I couldnt splash out £15 on a Cyberman outfit he wouldnt wear again so I had a brainwave with a cardboard box and some paint from ELC!

Here is the card I made for the birthday boy, he also likes dinosaurs aswell as Doctor Who!

And here is his costume, as you can see he went as the TARDIS!!! Surprisingly he was the only TARDIS there!!!!!

And here he is wearing it!!!! He loved it but now we have to keep it in his bedroom as I cannot bear to destroy it after all our efforts!!!

60th Birthday

OK todays cards are 2 I made for a really good friends Mum's 60th birthday.

She wanted a special one from her and also one from her 2 boys to give their Grandma

This is the card from her 2 boys, thought I would use my monkeys as what little boys arent monkeys?????? Card blank, paper, prima flowers, sentiment are all from Craftwork Cards. Stamp by Stampendous

The 3 fold card is made by attaching 3 scallop squares together with ribbon. Most of my products on this one are from ????? Craftwork Cards.

I really like doing these style cards as they can be adapted for different occasions and dont take too long but they look like they have, if you get me!!!

You cannot see it very well but the 60 is stickled so is very sparkly!!!!

My friend was really pleased with them, hope the Birthday Girl is too!!!

As promised

As promised I am here again today!!!!!

Really trying to keep my blog updated regularly!!

Very simple mans card today, need to keep my supplies up to date!! No sentiment added as I will add one once I decide who it is for as usually as soon as I add something someone asks for a card and I end up changing it!!!!!

Beer is a die cut I have had ages, paper is Dovecraft, card blank from CWC, ribbon from Little Silver Hat.

I have added some Liquid pearls to the top of the beer, quite impressed how realistic it looks!!!

P.S Did you watch the new Doctor Who episode tonight??? Thats my weekly eye candy fix for the week!!! Yum yum!!!

Sk8r boy!!

My son is going to a sleepover party at his friends house tonight!

Gosh I am so nervous about him going!!!

His friend is going to be 9 and has grown his hair longer, there seems to be a lot of boys at Ross's school who are growing their hair like surfer dudes!!! So I thought perfect opportunity to ink up my Sk8r Boy stamp for the first time!!

Feel I need to explain this card. I was under strict instructions from my nearly nine year old that it was not to contain any of the following items

a) scalloped things (look too flowery says Ross)

b) buttons

c) ribbon (gosh how will I manage)

Hence the reason why it looks a bit plain to me. I asked him if I could put an oval message on and I wasnt even allowed to do that!!!



Background paper, which is perfect, is by Dreamstreet and was given to me by Anna!

Stars cut out at 2 different sizes on my Cricut and one on top right has been stamped with number 9 from See D's set.

Back tomorrow as I am trying to post a card a day!! How long will that last!!
