A Fairy Card .............

Hi all and happy Friday evening to you!  I have a fairy card to share with you tonight that I made for a friend that loves fairies. I used one of my favourite stamps on this card from LOTV, some gorgeous lace from Crafty Ribbons, flowers form the Ribbon Girl and some papers that came free with a magazine. 

I've got my little niece and my cousin staying this weekend, so a busy weekend ahead for me so I must get to bed soon! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Project Life Page ...........

Hi all and happy Tuesday to you.  I have a project life spread to share with you today.  I gave project life a try last year and then I decided I didn't like it as much as my scrapbook pages but I've seen some nice pages lately that have more paper in the background and I really like those so I've decided to give it another go!  

This is my first project life page for this year.   I'm really pleased with how it turned out and I have lots more memories captured!

Thanks for stopping by.

Grace's Birthday Card and a Marathon Photo!

Hi all and happy Tuesday to you today!  My blog has been a bit quiet the last week as I ran the Manchester marathon on Sunday. I managed to do it in 4 hours and 53 minutes so I was really pleased with that!  I'm not walking like quite so much of an old lady so I must be starting to recover!  It was a certainly a challenge running all those miles!  

This is a photo of me and my sister with our hard earned medals!

So onto my card for today, it's Grace's 8th Birthday and this is the card that I have made her. I used some gorgeous fairy stamps from Lawn Fawn.   Grace loved her card which was great!   

I need to get some housework done today then we are taking Grace out to tea at Pizza Hut as that is favourite place to eat out!  

Thanks for stopping by.

A Fairy in a Teacup ....................

Hi all and happy Tuesday to you. I have something different to share with you this morning.  I've been seeing lots of fairies on facebook and Instagram so I decided I had to have a go at making one!  This is my first attempt but I'm quite pleased with how she turned out.  I do need more practice on the arms and legs the most but I really enjoyed making her.   I was playing a game of hide of the fairy with Grace and popped her one of my Nan's teacups that sit on my dresser and decided she looked so nice in there that I would take a picture of her! 

Hopefully I will have more fairies to show you soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dream, Wish, Believe ............

Hi all, I've a card today sharing some ribbon inspiration for Crafty Ribbons. I thought these beautiful Dream, Wish, Believe  ribbons would work well on a love themed card so I've teamed them up a Crafter's Companion embossing folder.  I add a bit of distress ink to some of the flowers and birds and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.  

I hope you have a wonderful day whatever your plans.  I'm off work again this week so I'm taking Grace to a Jewellery making workshop and roller skating later at our local leisure centre so she is looking very forward to that.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Card for a Car Lover!

Hi all, and happy Sunday to you.  Just a quick post tonight before the Night Manager comes on.  I made this card for my friend Marianne's husband.  He loves cars so I thought that this new stamp set from LOTV would be perfect for his birthday card. I really liked working with the circle stamps they made a really nice change.
