Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Teddy with Penguin

Hello everyone :o)

Sorry to have disappeared at the weekend - we were all poorly on Friday and Saturday, and then yesterday I managed to slop a cup of tea all over the laptop and the keys went a bit random so I couldn't type anything!  Hubby ordered a new keyboard for it, but it seems to be working ok today.

Today's card is for my mum (and her hubby) to give to my grandma.

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Bella Bunting - Sugar Nellie DT

Morning everyone :o)

When I sat down to make this week's DT card for the Sugar Nellie blog, I had every intention of making a Christmas card... but when I was going through my stamps I spotted Bella Bunting and just couldn't help myself!  The colours are quite Christmassy though, so the thought was obviously there lol...

I'm panicking slightly at the moment... Morgan's back in bed feeling sick again, Dex is all washed out and says his tummy hurts so we've kept him off school assuming he's starting with it too.  Pav had booked today off thinking we could get some Christmas shopping done, but with both boys off poorly and now we're starting to feel queasy too, that's not going to happen!  And I've got so much to dooooooo.... agh!

Going to shut my eyes for half an hour, and hopefully I'll be raring to go when I open them again... right?  Hope you all have a lovely day :o)

New papers from DigiStamp Boutique

Hello everyone :o)

Yesterday I made a batch of fairly flat Christmas cards using sentiments and gorgeous new papers from DigiStamp Boutique.  These are all to go in the post, so I fought the urge to mat all the layers, and for speed I didn't let myself ink the edges either lol... I had a little production line going and made 12 of them!

Thanks for all the get well wishes for Morgan - he's doing much better now... finally stopped being sick late last night, and he's managed a bit of plain food today, so fingers crossed that's the worst over with.

I've got a bit of crafting still to do this evening (one of those cards that just refused to come together and I had to walk away!), and then I'll be around to catch up with some commenting.  Have a lovely evening :o)

Pink & green Christmas...

Hello everyone :o)

Sorry, I've been a bit quiet again - making loads of cards, but struggling to find the time to blog them!  My orders are now finished, apart from one that my mum's asked for, so hopefully I'll find some more time from now on... although there's the little matter of my own Christmas cards still to be finished!

Here's one of the cards I made for an order - using another of those handy little pre-coloured images from LOTV, so no colouring involved...

Items Used

Pre-coloured die cut image - LOTV

Papers - old DCWV ones

Poor Morgan's got another tummy bug, he's been ever so sick today - it's only a week since he had the last one!  He'll be off school for the rest of the week now, as they're not allowed back for 2 days following tummy bugs.  I don't think he'd be well enough anyway, he's not even kept drinks down today.

Anyway... hope you've all had a good day, and have a lovely evening too :o)
