An old favourite

in our family is Peter Rabbit.  We read all the books to Christine when she was a little girl and it is the first set of books I  bought for Jamie when he was born.


So when I saw this challenge on Cupcake Inspirations I just had to use a Peter Rabbit image.


I have used First Edition Spring Drop papers.  The leaf pins are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the cardstock and ribbon are from my stash.

A gorgeous freebie

from Saturated Canary. 


This image is called Boobie Love, and a great reminder of all those brave ladies who have fought breast cancer, some winning their battles and some not so lucky. I have friends on both sides of this horrific disease and remember them all in my prayers.

A New Baby Girl

My neighbours have just had a baby girl, and I have just popped in to see her.  Wow, I have never seen a baby with so much hair - it is really thick and black.  I suppose I am so used to blonde babies as we are all fair in our family.  What age to you have to be to stop feeling broody? 
Here is the card I made for her.
I have used Pink Petticoat image and papers.

Isn't it funny how quickly days off work go?

I have had a lovely long weekend. As I had to work Good Friday and Easter Monday, I had Thursday and Friday off - and here we are, it is Sunday already. I must admit I have thoroughly enjoyed my time off spending lots of quality time with Christine and Jamie and I have managed to do some very long needed spring cleaning. 
So today is me time again, and I have challenged myself to do something new card wise today. But first here is one I have been working on for a while and is for Kev from Jamie.

A Quick Midweek Card

My friend Amanda has not been feeling too well currently, and I had had already coloured this gorgeous Mo Manning image so along with a lot of scraps from my scrap bag I put this card together for her tonight.

I realised after I sealed the envelope that I had not taken a photo of the inside.  It says "I hope you get "put together again" soon."

Happy Easter everyone

I am so looking forward to our day today.  We are going to Church, then visiting the family and giving Easter Eggs to our grandchildren.  My daughter, Christine, always gives up savoury snacks for Lent as she prefers these to sweet stuff, so she  gets a bag full of her favourite flavours of crisps and chips.  She does not take after her Mum there, nor her Dad either if I remember rightly (we divorced over 26 years ago).

This afternoon, in between cooking and baking, I am going to do some crafting.  It seems ages since I had some me time (although it is only a week in reality). Then get myself ready for work tomorrow.  I work in a calll centre for a mobile telephone company, so no rest for the wicked.

 It was my friend Stef's birthday yesterday and here is a little card that I sent her.  Isn't Bella adorable.

Two in one day

and loads of others prepped. 

This is made from a Free Digi from the Stamp Fairy, that I have had since last year and a free sentiment.  The papers are First Edition, Spring Drop and the cardstock from stash.

Chores done - now me time

This is the first of a few cards I hope to make today.  I have used Bunches of Love stamp from Lili of the Valley and made a clean and simple style card with a sentiment from Pink Petticoat,  a freebie round sentiment and some Bakers Twine.  It is a design that I will be using to make some charity cards to sell at work.  There is not much cost involved so more money for the charity.
