Simple Daisies

Made this one for a customer who always has pink or lilacs so just a simple card today, had loads of fun with the acrylics paints in the background and by the time I had finished messing about with the paints decided to do something real simple and easy.

Breast Cancer Fund Raising

I have recently been asked to provide 100 favours for a breast cancer ball being held at a local hotel ( Ramada Jarvis Solihull). The lady who is organising this has recently finised her course of treatment for breast cancer and I have decided that I would like to donate all the favours to this worthy cause. So following on from there I will also be organising a raffle to raise extra funds, we have a few donations to add to our raffle but are actively seeking more goodies to add to the list. If you feel you would like to contribute anything please leave me a comment with contact details.

Details of gifts and donators will be listed here shortly.

What a busy week

Morning to you all, well I havent been able to post this week as I was away last weekend for my Brother in Laws birthday at Weston Super Mare and no I had nothing to do with the tragic events of the pier, really cant believe its gone as just on Sunday morning we had a lovely walk along the front right past the pier and when I got up on Monday morning it had all gone just unbelievable.

Anyway on my return I then received a call from a gentleman who was looking for a birthday cake for his Mothers 80th birthday for this Saturday there really is nothing like having some notice, oh well all hands to the deck I have spent all of this week making a very special birthday cake. The Roses were made with Flower Paste and I added a few jewels for quickness due the the short period of time available to me.

I now have loads to catch up on a couple of awards that i have received but had no time to add to my blog so thats next on the list, I hope you all have a good weekend.

Roses, Butterflys and Cats

Ok I thought I would share this picture with you for all those cat lovers out there, earlier this week there was a lady on our local news with her cat whom she was hoping was the oldest cat alive at the ripe age of 23 im not sure if she is the oldest cat but I do know that I have one who is only 12 months behind. So here we have my cat Misty at the age of 22 years. Well I know what you are thinking NO WAY as she doesnt look any where near her age but believe me she is definately 22 years old and still going strong, a bit senile but still very healthy, I think I spend most of the day letting her out one door only to have to let her in another 2 minutes later and im sure she forgets that I have just fed her she is also very deaf but im sure will be here for a while yet.

Now on to the crafty side of things, have two cards here fboth done with K & Co Papers and embelished with some Daisy gems, Butterflys and Roses. These will be very likely the last I post for a few days as im off to Weston Super Mare for the weekend to my Brother in Laws birthday so heres hoping for some warm weather, oh yes and if anyone knows of some craft shops in the area please let me know.

Funky Fairy Inspirations Candy

Morning Everyone, well i still have not had time to take some photos of my cards and upload them, this being due to the good weather and so making good use to do some much needed gardeningwhile I can. Anyway enough about the hard work, I have been directed to the Funky Fairy Inspiration blog where there is some blog candy going, this is a fabulous site and has also been featured in the SIMPLY CARDS AND PAPERCRAFTS MAGAZINE well worth a visit here. Have a good day all.

Just Puppies

Please note that I cannot take the credit for the design of this card as a friend Paul from Cuddly Buddly forum designed this card who very kindly gave me permission to recreate and publish a photo on my blog. When i first saw this card that Paul had made I immediately fell in love with it and decided to ask Paul if he minded that I made one for my grandaughters Birthday Megan who is 6 tomorrow and as she has just recently had a 8 week old Miniature Dachshound Puppy this card was just perfect and I am sure she will be absolutely delighted to open this tomorrow morning, so a very big thank you from me to Paul.

Glitter and Gems

I have to say I am really tired today thats because our house seems to be like New Street station most of the time, there is always someone coming or going I think that maybe the results of having three grown children two with girlfriends and one married daughter with two small children. Now its great to have them all here but boy it certainly makes you feel your age and on that note before giving my age away i will quickly move on. Just found myself a few minutes peace to post this card which is the first card I have done for a few days now, had a little bit of spend today on Pink Petticoat and have to say I love theses images so will probabaly be making loads over the next few days, so dont be surprised when i start posting loads of chicks.

Flowers & Butterflys

Well i finally managed to find some time to get a card finished, where do all the hours in the day go to!. Its kind of strange how the hours just fly by when you are doing things that you enjoy but at work they just drag on and you end up clock watching, I would love to find a remedy to reverse this. This is one which I put together quite quickly with some Chris Warner papers and topped with a Shabby Princess topper, a bit of satin ribbon and finished off with a few gems/Prima flowers.
