Lazy Sunday Afternoon on a Wednesday!

Hi everyone, I made this card for my friend Marianne's husband Graham for his Birthday back at the beginning of March and thought I should finally get round to posting it.  I love this LOTV die cut image as it makes me think of a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I've got a day off work today so I'm going to enjoy a bit of crafting this morning whilst Grace is preschool.  It's not often I get to craft in the day so I'm going to make the most of these few hours!

I also thought I would share a picture with you of my trip to the NEC last week.

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

A Mother's Day Layout ..........

Hi everyone,  I just thought I would share a very quick digi scrapbook page which I made tonight in my new Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist Software.  This was a premade template which I used as I'm new to the software and I still have a lot to learn so I thought I would start with something simple.  

This is me and Grace on Mother's Day, I've got some other pictures of Mother's Day I want to scrap but I wanted one layout of just me an Grace and I'm pleased how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by.

Crafter's Companion Monthly Challenge .....

Hi everyone, I can't believe it's the first of March already, where is this year going!  I've still not finished my Christmas scrapbook yet, and it will be this Christmas before I know it so I better get on with it! 

Anyway onto my DT card for Crafter's Companion and our challenge for you this month is 'Spring'. I think this is the perfect challenge as today has been lovely and sunny in Norfolk today and it did feel like Spring is on its way. 

I have used some beautiful rub-on from the Fairy Opolis range from Crafter's Companion for my image and sentiment.  I have to say these are the best quality rub ons I have ever used.  They are a long way improved from the ones when I first started out card making you would spend ages trying to rub them on your page, these ones just go on like a dream!
