Monochrome at Crafty Ribbons .................

Hi all, I'm back today to share my DT card for the Crafty Ribbons Challenge and our theme for you this time is monochrome.  I thought I would make a Mother's day card for this theme and used some of the gorgeous Black Volcan Visose Lace on my card.  I have also used a free die that came with this month's issue of Quick cards and some buttterfly dies from Cheery Lynn.  The papers are some old papermania ones I have had for ages so it was good to use some more of them up! 

I hope you will come along and join in with our challenge this time.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mother's Day Card ................

Hi everyone, this is a scheduled post as I've got a day off work today as I stayed over my sister's last night hopefully for a little celebration of completing our half marathon but as it's Friday night when I type this I don't know if I succeed by this point or not hopefully I will have done! 

Anyway I have a card to share with you tonight which I made for my Mum and I made another the same for my MIL for Mother's day.  We celebrated Mother's Day a week earlier and they came round for afternoon tea which was very nice.  They also had a bouquet of flowers each which they also had last week.   I'm very thankful to be have both of them as they both have heart problems. 

Anyway I'm rambling now, thank you so much for stopping by your comments are always very much appreciated and always make me smile.

A Mother's Day Card ..................

Hi everyone, I hope you have had a good day.  I have had a lovely day, I got some lovely gifts from Grace, she choose some flowers with glitter on and she made me a lovely decoupatch letter M with her childminder.  I will take a picture of that tomorrow to show you.  I also went to a craft show at Thetford and brought some lovely new stash with my friend Marianne then I had tea at my mum's.

The card I have to show you today is the Mother's Day card I made for my mum and mum in law as I made them the same.  I made it using decoupage and papers from the new docrafts range but I can't remember the name!

Double Challenge Card .........

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great weekend, the weather is lovely bright sunshine here in Norfolk today! My card is for 2 challenges, the first is for the Whiff of Joy Challenge whoose theme this week is 'Lavender and Lace' and the second challenge this card is for is Charisma Cardz Challenge and their theme this week is 'Pretty cards/Pretty cards for Mum'.

I made this card round my friend's last night and she didn't have any square cards so I found this big card quite hard work! I'm still not completely sure about it but I hope my mum will like it for Mother's Day.

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment if you have time.
