"You are my sunshine"

Hi everyone,
  hope you are all well. I want to say  a special hello to my new followers, I am always pleased to see someone new has joined, it means I have a new blog friend for me to visit and follow too.
  I hope you are all enjoying this fantastic sunshine. My hubby has been out in the garden each night mowing the lawns and sorting out the borders, only trouble is he's no good with identifying plants from weeds so every five mins it's "have a look at this one will you" not that good when I'm two stories up in the craft room. So I got some lolly sticks, and each plant now has a lolly stick by it, ones without  are out.
Can't remember how many poppies I've bought cos he thinks they're nettles! Well that sorted I should have a bit more colour in my garden this year, why are most weeds yellow?
   This card is one I have made for a friend.

Christmas Card Club and It's still Sunday.

Hi everyone
 I can't believe what my husband did. I work Saturdays and sometimes don't get home till after 5 but as he doesn't work Saturdays he usually runs the vac round. Wonderful I can hear you all say.  Till he says to me, with a smug look on his face, "go check out the craft room then"  I nearly broke my neck getting up there and OMG he'd vacumed my craftroom floor! I couldn't believe it. Now I know I'm a messy crafter but this is my room  for god's sake and there was more gem stones, ribbon, my earring I dropped and forgot to pick up, charms etc need I go on. now all nicely tucked up in my vacum. I know I shouldn't be ungrateful.....  and it really was a mistake that I ordered the wrong chinease for him!   Needless to say lol, there is a new sign on my door and man with smug look and vacum no longer allowed.

Well, onto my card for the Christmas Club, and the lovely Zoe chose a card with an aperture. So here is my take on it. Haven't done an aperture card in ages.

The papers I used I've had for a long time so don't know whose they are, and had to stick two pieces together. back to back as I didn't have any double sided. to make the surround  I cut out the middle using Spellbinders Circles . The sentiment is LOTV.
The snowflake border is Tim Holtz  and added gems
I decorated the inside with the same paper and added a couple of die cut snowflakes (magnolia)
Memory box christmas tree

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well. Here is my card for the Christmas Card Club, which I should have posted on Sunday but I have been playing with some new stamps I purchased from LOTV and when you're on a roll you all know how hard it is to put your mind to something else. But here it is and I'm not sure I even like it now I've finished it. Well at least it's another one to add to my growing pile of cards for the festive season. The challenge was to use ribbon and lace.

The main image is LOTV, which I coloured with copics, promarkers and pencils, then cut the image out.
The background Christmas papers I have had for a long time and can't remember what they are, I stitched around the edges.
Marianne Christmas tree die, and added gems.
Magnolia snowflake die
Sentiment LOTV
The ribbon was white so I coloured with my promarkers to match the angels and added a pearl buckle and some lace.
The pearl stars on the Christmas trees were from the pound shop, good eh!

Forgotten Fairy

Hello to everyone and a special hello to my new followers. It's a fab feeling when I log in and see someone else has joined in. I have found some wonderful people since I started my blog, with huge amounts of talent that I have taken inspiration from and I really look forward to visiting you all.


   I've had a lovely day today. I went to the LOTV shop which is way too close now, they have had a couple of days of demos and colouring classes with the lovely Bev Rochester.. Needless to say I puchased a wee something or five!  I had a coffee and a wonderful scone with jam and clotted cream,  home baked, Yummy.


   I've been checking through my many boxes of stamps when I came across some pergamano fairies that I have never used (shame on me) I had forgotton how sweet they were so I decided to make a card, at last, using one of them. I like that they are so delicate when stamped with such fine detail.
Been practising my colouring strokes a bit more too.
