still around

I'm still around and creating, just not got enough hours in the day to blog. We have also had huge computer problems, lost everything on the computer and even the external hardrive went hay wire. we've gradually been installing all our programmes but not up to full speed yet, so may still be a little while until i can add pictures to my posts.
My last creation was a 12 x 12 wedding page in a frame (shadow box) i made it for a friend to give as a gift to the bride and groom who she was being a bridesmaid for and it was greatly received, i did take a photo of it and will upload it as soon as is possible.
This weekend sees my Mam and Dad celebrating 40 years of marriage (Ruby Wedding) and we are throwing them a surprise party, so the planning is taking a lot of doing to keep it a secret. We were hoping for great weather on Saturday as we hoped to hold it in the garden, but it may be a change of plan and held in doors if the rain doesn't stay away, last weekend would of been perfect and we could of basked in the sun as we enjoyed ourselves.

OMG ive scrapped!

I cant beleive it after about 2 years ive scrapped several 12 x 12 pages today. As many of you who read my blog (if there are any of you, LOL) will know i look after my cousins little boy Dylan. It just happens to be his first birthday next Sunday so as tradition goes with all my nieces and nephews they get a scrapbook of their first year, i have made the odd mini book etc but its been an age since i done this size. After my first page i was back into the swing of things and i got 5 pages finished, im just waiting on his mum to bring me a few more pictures and them hopefully i should get it finished by Sunday. I also had a few card orders to complete so they are done as well. So all in all a good productive weekend, and its all thanks to craft day on QVC as i was feeling mojo less untill i sat and watched a few hours, then it gave me the ispiration to have a sort out of my supplies and rearange a few things, and thus my pages and cards were created.
Here are the other 2 cards ive made

the rock chick card has a guitar pluck covered in glossy accents, it wasnt quite dry when i took this pic so it looks a bit milky but now its fully dried and fully cleared and glossy.

Ive also got a little more news i got myself a part time job 16 hours a week in between looking after Dylan, ive always worked so when im not i get a little house bound after a while so i feel the need to get out and work, im working in greggs at our local town centre, no hassles no stress just go to work come home no worries and a decent weekly pay packet to spend on lovelies.

Wedding Day

Ive a couple of pictures to share of the wedding on Saturday Chris (martins son and Zara were married at Preston Hall Museum they have a recreated old fashioned street which is where most of the pictures were taken, of course these are not the professional pictures, we've not got them yet, these are from our little camera which our eldest son Jonathan was using. We haven't got any of martin and myself with Chris and Zara, but we do have some on the real photo shoot. (i have blanked out some faces as i havnt got permission from everyone yet to show them.)
It was a fantastic day everyone enjoyed themselves. They are now off to Alnwick to live in married quarters so we cannot see Charlie as often as we would like, still at least its not too far away and we can visit them on weekends.

Back again

Ive not stopped these past two weeks so I'm sorry for my lack of posts or indeed lack of creations.
The time has just whizzed past in the blink of an eye, I've been busy with wedding shopping, and just general life. The wedding is next Saturday so i cant see me getting creative in the next week, we shall see i might just get some time in the evenings if i haven't flaked out. Ive had all good intentions to craft in the evening after the hectic days Ive had but the sofa has grabbed me and i ended up falling asleep for an hour or so, then i have to wake up to all the washing up and general tidying up of the living room, i wouldn't care but i had a back up or card orders to get out.
Since it was Good Friday yesterday i didn't have Dylan to look after as his Mum and Dad were off work so i got my weekly shop done at Asda then came home and set about getting my orders completed and the above cards are what I've got finished so far, round 2 today. If you want info regarding supplies just give me a shout.

This ones for Susan

Hi Susan I know you will be reading so this one is for you!
Susan runs a local craft stall on our market called suzicraft and she got a delivery of gorgeous flowers most of it in pretty packaging, She called round yesterday with all the flowers and i couldnt resist a purchase. Thanks susan.
The above card is what ive made using just 3 of the flowers and the handbag card was a bargain i got a pack of 8 with envelopes for only 89p from home bargains they also had star and flower shaped cards in for the same price.
The other picture is of the flowers i bought.

just sharing

ive not got much to share today, my lif must be so boring LOL so her are some cards ive made, i can share them!

card crazy

Ive had an influx of orders all at once so I've been on what i can describe as a card making frenzy, well thats what it felt like anyway, ive only been making a few cards in the last 2 weeks as ive felt so Yuk, but i had to catch up on all my orders and have had to make 10 since Monday, not easy work with a 10 month old running round, ive had to leave it until the evening then ive stayed up late resulting in being tired the next day (Doh!)
Oh well hare are some of the cards for you to see, im not upto a run down of what ive used, just give me a shout if you want any other info.
