A Scrapbook Page ..................

Hi everyone,  I finally got to a chance to make a scrapbook page.  Are your creative urges like an itch that needs to be scratched or is that just me lol!   Anyway my layout today is about the lovely handmade flowers that Grace and her Daddy made me for Mother's Day.  I decided to use lots of pink for this layout as it is my favourite colour.  I'm always happy with things I make that contain a lot of pink.

I'm hoping this weather is going to be better tomorrow as I need to plant up my hanging baskets, it's been all horrible cold and rain today.   Come on summer where are you! 

Thanks for stopping by.

If you go down to the woods today ..............

you might find an Elf

two very friendly giants



and of course a very friendly troll!
You might be thinking I'm away with the fairies now, well I was! We were at a fairy fair in Holt yesterday and  Grace and her little cousin Anya had a lovely time. This was the first time we had been to a fairy fair but it was lovely and now we want to go back next year.  Grace and her cousin made a lovely fairy book at a fairy workshop. Of course I got to help as I never like to be too far away when a pot of glitter comes out!

I hope you all had a fantastic bank holiday.
Thanks for stopping by.

Winter Wonderland Challenge

Hi everyone,  time for another challenge at Winter Wonderland and our challenge for you this week is 'All tied up', so we need to see something tied up on your card e.g twine or ribbon.  I have suddenly developed a love of bakers twine, I'd some for ages in my craft cupboard before I actually used it and I can't get enough of it lol! I used a Humphrey die cut decoupage on my card, I love these sweet images.

Have you started your Christmas cards yet?  If not why not join in our Christmas challenge, you will be so happy you did when you have a nice pile of Christmas cards all ready for you by December!
There is also a fab prize from 'Wild Rose Studio' for the winner.

Thanks for stopping by.

An Anniversary Card .........

Hi everyone, Lynsey's place has been a bit quite this week as I'm trying to have a good clear out of the craft room.  I've been busy sorting through lots of craft stuff and putting my stamps into some new storage folders.   I've not had a good clear out in a long time so it is well over due.

I do find it hard to part with things as I'm sure I will use them sometime!  I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to my crafty stash but I am trying to think that if I've not used in the last 5 years then there is probably not much chance I'm going to use in the next 5 years either!  I've still got loads more to do but I'm trying to do a little everyday.  Well that's the plan anyway!

So I've not had much time to craft but I do have a card to share that I made a few weeks ago for an order. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

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

Hi everyone, time for another challenge at Winter Wonderland and our theme for you this week is ''Ppppppick up a penguin'.   The team have done well this week as we've all managed to find different images.  There is a fab prize for a £10 voucher to spend at My Craft Heart so if you have not made a start on your Christmas cards yet, this week would be a great time to start!

You would have laughed if you had seen me in the craft room with Grace last night she was having trouble getting the glitter glue out of a new tube so I said I would have a go.  So I gave it a good squeeze and the next thing I  knew there was glitter glue shooting out at about 50 miles an hour, it was up the wall, on the carpet up my cupboard,  I couldn't believe what a mess it caused. So me and Grace decided we would put that tube in the bin!

A Forever Friends Card .............

Hi everyone, I have a Forever Friends card to share with you today.  I made this card using the the new Kraft Notes range from docrafts.   I had a bit of a forgetful week last week so I had to make this card as I forgot my auntie's Birthday, I also lost the metal plug from the sink and my card reader which I use to put my photos on my computer with!  The card reader turned up I had packed that away in my work bag but there is no sign of the plug! I even checked the bin but still there is no sign of it!  I think I must have had a week away with the fairies!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Another Pollycraft Card ...................

Hi everyone,  we had a lovely sunny day in Norfolk yesterday so we went to Sandringham for the day.  It's a lovely place to visit with lovely woodland walks and a play area for Grace.  We took a picnic with us and had a lovely time.  I got some great pictures of Grace so I thought I would share one of my favourties, which you can see below .I've not made up my mind what to do today yet as I first have a mountain of washing and ironing to get through.

Anyway onto my card today which is made using another fab image from the new Pollycraft Shop and this little cutie is called 'Spotty Bugs'.  Don't forget there is a super 30% off at the Pollycraft shop and there are some fab new designs to check out.
