Happy Summer!!! 

Well let's hope it's here at last.

I'm sharing with you two cards I made last week.

This first one is for my friend Annie who sadly lost her mum and . . .

. . . the second one is for my "crafty" friend Alison who was a bit under the

weather after having a knee op that turned out to be more than was expected

so "get well NOW!!!" Alison!

Here is an arty farty view - just love the Blossom Punch from the Spring

Mini Catalogue - you've only got until the end of August if you want one!!!

Enjoy the sunshine

Square Folding Wedding Card

Good morning - no rain!!!

Yesterday we went to a family wedding in a very wet Wakefield but

the day was fabulous - wishing Gemma & Matthew much

 happiness for the future.

Here is the card I made for them.

The idea for the card was CASED from one I saw originally designed

by Clare Rowlands - thanks Clare.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Book Mark Card

Hi - long time etc ..... !!!!!

Anyway I'm back and here is a card I made with  2 different 

lots of friends last month.  It's an idea I CASED

 from Diane Whitehouse - thanks Diane.

I used my favourite stamp set of all time - Just Believe.

I've teamed it with Baja Blue and Pear Pizzazz.

It's called a Book Mark Card - the section that is removable

on the right is the bookmark!

That's all for now

Happy Sunday!!!

in Leeds along with 75 other SU demonstrators.

Happy Easter Bunny!

Thanks to Mummy Julie and baby Jules for inspiration for these 

sour cream cartons with Easter Bunny faces for table

 presents this Easter. 

The only difference is that I've used wobbly eyes (non SU).

Here is the box of them ready to take to friends ready for Easter

celebrations at their house.  There will be 12 of us!

Happy Easter

A Bag in a Box and 3 Cards

Hi,  hope you are all OK.  I've been very excited and distracted

for the last couple of days because I've been playing 

with my new iPad!!!

Right, enough of that and down to the real stuff - crafting!!!

I have made this project with 2 groups of friends this week

so I'm getting pretty good at it!!!!!

We used the "picture" papers from the Pocketful of Posies papers

then chose card, inks and ribbons to coordinate - getting clever!!!

Here are the 3 cards in more detail.

We used the following stamp sets:-

My Friends,

Liebe, Love, Amour 

and Perfect Postage.

Right, I'm now off to pack as we are going away for the weekend - 

"down south" to help celebrate a friends really BIG birthday.

Have a fab weekend

Chris xx
