Some awards and some sad news .........

Well I am not having a very good week, my nan died yesterday, she only went into hospital on Sunday night although she had not been very well for quite a long while. None of us knew though that she had a lung disease, every winter she went to the doctor and they told she had a chest infection they even told her that 2 weeks ago! I did get to see her Monday night so at least I got to see her one last time. I'm not sure how much she took in but I kept telling her all about Grace and what she was up to.

On a more positive note, I have received these awards from some lovely blogging friends. the first award is from Debbie and Fern. The second award is from Vee and the last award is from Emma. Thanks so much to all of you, I would like to pass these awards onto everyone who visits my blog and leaves me such lovely comments.

Challenge 9 over at Pollycraft Monday Challenge is 'Think Pink!' and has been set by Diane who finds it difficult to use pink in her crafty creations! I have no such trouble myself, I find it hard not to use pink in my cards lol! So I really enjoyed making my DT card for this challenge.

I have used a download from the Promise Collection 'Heartfelt' from Pollycraft Designs for this card which I just love! The rest of the DT have made some gorgeous cards and there is a fantastic stamp up for grabs for the winner of this challenge so be sure to take a look here

Double Challenge Card .........

Hi everyone, I hope you have had all had a great weekend. No work for me tomorrow as I have a week's holiday, not going anywhere though, don't they call that a staycation these days lol! I am going to Norwich shopping for the day on Wednesday with Grace and MIL though so that will be a nice ride out.

Anyway onto my card, this is for 2 challenges, the first is for Sketch Saturday who have another fantastic sketch this week and the second challenge this card is for is A Spoon Full of Sugar whoose theme this week is 'Doodle Doo' they want to see doodling on your cards. This card is for my little girl Grace to give to her Granddad for his birthday. I thought this adorable image called 'Curiosity' from the Woodland Elves range from Pollycraft Designs would be perfect. I have been so inspired by lots of bloggers at the moment that I have also decorated the inside of my card.

Basic Grey Challenge ...........

This week's challenge over at Basic Grey is 'Follow the Sketch' which I have attempted to do but I think I got it a bit wrong oops! Hopefully it will still be ok to enter into the challenge as it is nearly right!
The image on this card is another of the new 'Sharing Sherbert' range from Pollycraft Designs and is called 'Catch a falling star'. I just love this image, I think this is my favourite from the range although it is hard to choose because I love them all lol!

Well Will liked the anniversary card, he didn't mention the flowers phew! I got away with that one! We are going out in a couple of weeks for a meal to celebrate our anniversary so I'm looking forward to that. I got a lovely anniversary present from Will which are the stamps below, I obviously had to order them for him! But this is definitely the way to my heart lol!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge *8*- Love

Hi everyone, I hope you are well. We've had lots of snow in Norfolk today so I decided to take some leave and finish at lunch time so I could get home before it gets any worse! I hate driving in the snow especially with my little girl Grace in the car.

Anyway onto my DT card for the Pollycraft Challenge, this week we have a great theme of 'Love' set by Emma W, this was a great challenge for me as it is my second wedding anniversary tomorrow so this is the card that I have made for my husband Will using the new 'Promise' download from Pollycraft Designs. I love these new downloads they are such great value as for £1.99 you five fantastic images! I am hoping that Will doesn't mind the flowers I added, I just had to add them as they were just the perfect colour match lol!

There is a great prize up for grabs for the winner of this challenge and the rest of DT have put together some fantastic inspiration for you which you can see over at Pollycraft.
