Having fun

It's my step grandson's 3rd birthday in April so I'm having fun doing his card and thought I'd share it with you.  It's so much fun when you know the person you're making the card for - and somehow they always come out much better, I guess it's made with lots of love ;-)

....going to give you all the photos of my recent order that I delivered on Saturday morning to the delight of the person who ordered - sorry this is so picture heavy.

These are the packs I made up - each had their own label and inside are 5 cards - 3 birthday cards and 2 others (depending on the age profile of the receiver - might be baby, wedding, thinking of you etc)

Sorry....

..I've been absent for a while - I've a request for 60 cards to be ready by Friday so am beavering away and haven't had time to post any photos etc.  Will have a complete gallery for you when I'm finished.

Fab weekend

What a fantastic weekend - we had glorious sunshine practically all weekend and the girls had a blast.  Saturday was all outside - zip lines, climbing walls, assault courses and low ropes.  Naturally I held the handbags and cameras and generally watched - I'm getting very aware of my own mortality so don't do those rides, although it looked great fun.
Sunday was craft day - the girls did cookie making, decorating gingerbread men and card making (a la me!).  I had a great time.  There are some very "craftie" girls in the company.  They really enjoyed it too.  The tables were a complete mess with papers and gems and ribbons etc but that never matters ;-)

Mad day yesterday

I had a mad day yesterday - got a complete panic that I'm doing a craft slot with the Girls Brigade this weekend and I've nothing prepared for them - there's 30 girls aged from 9 to 14!  Arrggghhh!

So, got up really early and began preparing 4 cards and kits - 2 St Patrick's Day cards and 2 Mother's day cards.  Here's the choices....

Mother's day #1    Papers are K&Company from some Cardstock pads I have (or had, 30 kits has kinda decimated that stash!)

I love the colours of these papers, but maybe the circles should be flowers - I'll give the girls that choice as I haven't cut them out for them.

Mothers day #2Papers are DCWV Retro Prints stack, wording paper I made up on the computer
Gems from stash.

For the kits I've used similar colour scheme but with different papers and I've matched the wording and label colours to the relevant papers.

St Patricks Day # 1You've seen this one before but I just love it.  Should be straight forward for them to do.

St Patricks day #2
Papers are from Lucky Lucky You - a free download from Holly Brooke Jones from 2 Peas in a Pod.
Embossed paper is Doodlebug
Fiskers treading water punch

Wonder how they'll get on with these, will update you on Monday and let you know.

Gorgeous day today

I am looking out my window at the most gorgeous day, sun is splitting the stones, although it is still quite cold. I'm hoping to go golfing this afternoon - that'll be my third time this year (that's no way to keep my handicap!).  I'm having a putting lesson tomorrow afternoon, of course that means I'll put brilliantly today - go figure!

Its our Lady Captain's drive in today so here's a few cards I made for her, not

sure which one will be from me.  It won't be the one with the lady cos one of my neighbours has taken that!

Sorry the photos are so dark - not sure why that is, will have to do some experimenting with the camera

Toothache, ow!

Not feeling the best today - have a minor toothache, its funny how there are some pains that just really knock you for six.  For me, its toothache and a certain kind of headache!  I'll just have to struggle on.

Spent the day yesterday sorting out all my kits for the Girls Brigade away weekend next weekend, I have a craft slot with them and am doing either a St Patricks day card or a Mothers day card - they can do one of each.  Having fun making sure I have all the kit ready and some extras if they want to be a little creative.
