CLARE'S CHALLENGE ANYTHING BUT A CARD

This was a great challenge thank you Clare.....made me get out a very lovely old stamp from many years ago...I had great fun with the glas effect gel on the berries!!! I enjoyed doing it so much I had another go

this is using a combination of stamps and inks and trying out the Tim Holtz pine cone die...I ended up on youtube watching the demo...ah a cocktail stick and a glue gun thats the answer...anyway they are getting better the more I make.Mum goes into hospital Monday so fingers crossed. Hope you are all having a great weekend looking forward to seeing all your creations.....

Mums Birthday

well it was my dear old Mums 94th birthday yesterday....we had her out to lunch at a nice pub down by the river and the sun even shone!....Lizzie and Chris brought along Isabella and Caitlyn  and we had a really lovely time, Mum was so tired when we got her home she barely made her piece of cake and cuppa before falling off to sleep....bless.

I had fun making her card with my new spellbinder blossom dies.......Lizzie is going to e mail me some photos of the occasion as in all our organizing my lovely Richard forgot his camera!......
