Your the Bee's Knees!

Hi all, I've been a bad blogger lately.   I don't know about you but life is busy at the best of times but as Christmas gets closer it seems to get even more so!   I will try and catch up with your blogs this week!  

So on to my card that I have to share with you tonight.  The gorgeous stamps on my card are from the  Bees Knees stamp set from Little Claire.  I've also used some first edition papers and memory box dies. 

Thanks for stopping by.

A Snowman Aperture Card .......

Hi everyone and happy Saturday to you. I'm sharing a card today that is one of the one's I made for Simply Homemade magazine.   I love this cute snowman from Three Sparkly Snowmen from Little Claire. So what are your plans for today?  I will be busy working on another commission for Simply Homemade magazine and then me and Grace will be going to town this afternoon to buy a Christmas jumper each.  I've never brought a Christmas jumper before but I have seen a lovely one in Tesco's with penguins on so I think that will be my purchase. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Birthday Selfies Layout

Hi all, I have a layout to share with you tonight that I made using my Like for Ever scrapbooking kit from last month as I finally found a little bit of time to cut into last month's kit!  The photos were a few silly pics of me and Grace messing about with my selfie stick on my Birthday.  Please don't think I'm sad for having a selfie stick but I have very short arms and selfies of me would scare people without the use of a selfie stick lol!  

I used a great sketch from Stuck Sketches November 1st. for my layout. 

I had a wonderful time shopping in York.  These are a few photos from my weekend:

This is the Shambles, my favourite street in York filled with little shops full of pretty things!

This is me and Mum with a friend we found lol!

And of course no shopping trip would be complete without a stop for coffee and cake! 

Thanks for stopping by.
