Fairies and playing about

I got the MME Pretty Please papers and have been playing about with some cards.  What do you think of these?

The stamps came with Papercraft Inspirations magazine some months ago and have been sitting in my drawer waiting for me to do something with them.
The lettering I bought as a job lot with some other stuff

Grey and foggy

Can't believe there's been such a change in the weather.  On Sunday I was out planting some new plants in the garden in lovely sunshine, yes it was cold but it was a lovely fresh day.  Then yesterday we had snow and today is grey and foggy.  Its funny how the weather effects my mood, could do with having a duvet day today but that won't happen!  Maybe I'll get to make cards later.

Wedding

I'm so excited, my step daughter and her partner have asked me to do their wedding invitations (well, really I guess I asked them if they wanted me to do them).  We did a draft on Friday and we were both in tears at the result - I'm guessing she liked it!!!  I've ordered all the supplies, so can't wait for them to arrive - I'm not going to post a full picture until she's sent them out but here's a sneak peek.

Those keen eyed people out there will spot that its not a W but an upside down M - so here's the deal, I only had one sheet of the lettering and all the W's had been used.  As I said its a draft so I improvised!!!  When the full cards have been done I'll post a picture with the correct letter.  (Yes, I am a pedantic Pat!)

Bet you didn't expect to hear from me so quickly!!!  Well, just thought I'd share this one with you - I'm really pleased with it.  I've been hunting around for the MME Wild Asparagus papers and finally found them on Thursday and this is the first card I've done with it.  The image is from Craftwork Cards, coloured with Cosmic Shimmer watercolour paints.

Which to choose....

OK, so I'm a bit slow in getting into this whole blog thing! Seems to me that there are so many things to be part of - gmail, Facebook, Twitter, blogging - how does anyone have time for anything anymore!

Anyway, that's my bit of a rant about technology (imagine, and I work in the technology industry!!!).

So here's my promise - I'm going to update my blog regularly, at least 3 times a week. It'll have a little bit of all the things in my life - cards, work, golf etc.

My current dilemma is..... at the beginning of March I'm going away with 10 or so girls (all part of the Girls Brigade) and I've to do a craft slot with them over the weekend, so I'm busily trying to work out cards that they'd both want to make and be able to make. Given that Mother's Day and St Patrick's Day will be shortly after the weekend I've picked those as a theme. What do you think of these as ideas for starters.....

I love the Paddy's day one but not so sure about the Mother's day cards - anyone with any suggestions???

The first Mothers day card was inspired by Kath at http://kath-allthatglitter.blogspot.com/ - I check out her blog as often as I can and get great ideas there and a smile!
