Hi all!
I cannot believe how much time has passed since I last posted!
Life gets in the way sometimes and I just can't remember to do everything I need to do!
So, this blog is usually the one thing I forget about and I now feel guilty!
Anyhoo, today I do have lots of pics to post of cards I've made but I just don't have time right now! I think I'll have to do it over the next few days.
I hope everyone out there is doing ok.

Birthday Week!!!
Hi all!
As the post title suggests, it has been a special week for me----my birthday! I'm not going to remind you of my age but, if you know me, then you'll remember my 50th was 3 years ago................
Anyhoo! On to better things!
I've been making one or two bits and bobs this week for Christmas. I'm STILL struggling with my card theme this year and I've managed to put myself in a bit of a tizz so I'm just going to pinch a little inspiration from other crafters until my mojo returns!
This is one I found in a mag (can't remember which one :( ) and I tweaked it a tiny bit to make it my own as I don't have the supplies used in the original make.
These next two are shaker cards using the same paper collection as above! Peppermint Forest by Craftwork Cards. Love the colours of this collection.
This final one is a wedding card for a friend of mine including the box envelope. Her theme is burgundy and white so the card follows suit!
That's my lot for today folks!
Hope you all have a lovely, crafty weekend.
See you next week :)

Crafty birthday!
Hi all!
I've had a busy day or two (and weekend) and haven't made alot this week except this card, which I'm entering into a competition over at Crafters Companion for their 11th birthday celebrations!
The company labelling/logo is purple so that's the colour I've used to make this birthday card.
Along with die-cutting, stamping and heat embossing, I've incorporated photography with extra light to highlight the card better! In other words, I used a table lamp without the lampshade to give brighter light when capturing the image (which I don't usually bother with!) and I think it worked!
Something I'll have to do more often methinks.
So, here's my entry into the comp :
It's a tent-fold base with a large aperture in the front.
Hope you like it and I hope Crafters Companion do too!
Have a great week, crafty peeps!

Spooky Starts Early!!!
Hi all!
Today I have a couple of spooky (!) hallowe'en cards for you!
They are both intended for the Hallowe'en card challenge at Cardmaking and papercraft mag.
The first is a stepper card and I've used the Graphic 45 Rare Oddities collection, with other little bits n bobs from my stash!
This is my "Grown-up" card!
My second is my "fun" card!
I used different papers to create the two pumpkins ( spot the mini one hanging down the side!)
The background is actually red but showing up as pink on here! The card papers are black and orange.
Well, that's my lot for today.
I've been to the GP this morning and had my flu jab - ouch! This afternoon I'm off to weigh-in at Chubby-Club (Slimming World!!!) so wish me luck as I don't think I've done any weight losing this week!!!

Kalo Mina!
The post title translates as "Good Month" which is a Greek saying and that's what I'm wishing for you all :)
I haven't been able to do much crafting this weekend on account of having a social life - sometimes, fun just gets in the way!
We went to a 40th birthday and I did make a lovely card for the birthday boy but I took 2 photos (in a rush) and they're not very good so I'm not putting them up for derision!!! lol
The following day I couldn't have crafted if you'd paid me to. I was a tad under the weather!!! Tired!
I have made a lovely card this morning to send to my sons' Nanna as a "hello" card, and just to let her know we love her- ahhhhhh, I'm such a softy!
I used the papers which were included on the CD rom in the latest issue of Crafters Inspiration magazine and added some little acorns from the oak tree in my garden!
The weather's glorious at the moment so I'm off to put some more washing out on the line and make a coffee!
