A Jolly Pirate!

Hi everyone,  Grace had another Birthday party to go to on Saturday which was a pirate themed one so I thought I really had to make a pirate themed card.  I decided to treat myself to this one form the Digi Stamp Boutique.   I also got to use my new bunting die which I love so I think you might see a lot of this one!

Crafter's Companion Mid Way Inspiration .............

Hi everyone, well my conference went well yesterday and was very interesting. This is 
another scheduled post from me this morning as I go to a Zumba class at 9.00am on a Saturday.  It's hard getting up early on a Saturday sometimes as well as the rest of the week but next week I'm off work so I will get lots of lay ins, well I hope so anyway but of course it all depends on the clock of Grace!

Anyway onto my DT card for today which is to share some mid way inspiration for this month's challenge over at Crafter's Companion Monthly Challenge  and the theme this month is 'Love is in the Air'.  I hope you can join in the challenge as always there is a fab prize for the winner!

I've used the gorgeous Humphrey - Roses are Red Stamp on my card.  I think he is just wonderful Valentines and Anniversary cards.

Winter Wonderland Challenge .................

Hi everyone, it's Friday already and my post is scheduled as I'm off to a conference in London for work today.  I hope it is interesting!  At least it's easy for me to get to London, there is station in the village where I live so I can just walk round the corner and get a train straight through to London.

Anyway onto my DT card for Winter Wonderland and our theme for you this week 'It's the most wonderful time of the year' so it's the start of our Christmas card challenges.  I really enjoyed making this card.   I must thank my friend Marianne for the inspiration for this card as Marianne made me Christmas bag with this image and stars and I fell in the love with the image so I had to have it!

Don't forget we are having a DT call over at Winter Wonderland so if you want to have all your Christmas cards made by December this could be a great team to join! We would love you to apply!

A Birthday Card ............

Hi everyone, well I had a lovely relaxing day making cards yesterday so I have more cards to show you than normal this week!   I made this card for my friend who came round last night and I so enjoyed making making it.  I got to play with my new Memory Box dies and I got this lovely Whiff of Joy stamp out that I have not used for ages and I was quite pleased with how this card turned out.  I think it was nice to have some new dies to play with and not just put paper flowers on my card.

It is a very wet Sunday here in Norfolk but at least there is no more snow yet!  I'm hoping that it  doesn't come as I have 100 mile round trip to do to Norwich on Tuesday and I can't cope with driving that far in the snow!

The only problem with crafting for most of yesterday is that I now have a very large pile of irnoning and house work to do so I better get on with it!

I must give credit to Lisa from Wishcraft blog for using the dies in this way,  so thank you for the wonderful inspiration Lisa.

Cupcake Invitations ............

Hi everyone, I hope you are all tucked up in the warm, it's just so cold tonight.  I took Grace to her Valentines Disco and now I'm freezing after the walk home so I'm sat on the sofa with my hot water bottle!  I don't know what I would do with out my hot water bottle!  I do sound like an old lady don't I!

Anyway I thought I would share some invitations that I made with you tonight. Me and my sister wanted to do something nice for Mother's Day so we have decided to do afternoon tea with little cakes and sandwiches on some pretty cake stands for my Mum, Mum in Law and Nan.  So I have made these invitations for them.

The image is a digi from the Digi Stamp Boutique and the papers are from Dovecraft.
