Pretty Sunflower Card

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

So I didn't make a card for 3 years and now I've made 2 in 3 days!

Maybe, just maybe, I'm beginning to find my mojo!

This is a simple little card for a friend who is celebrating her birthday on Wednesday.

As I am in self isolation due to underlying health conditions I couldn't pop to the shop to buy her a card, so I made her one instead!

3rd birthday Card

Happy Sunday,

We had some much needed rain last night which will be good to help settle in some bedding plants that have recently been planted. I had a little catch up on blog hopping whilst hubby watched the footie...Englad were their usual disappointing selves but a huge well done to Wales for winning their opening match!

I'm sharing a recent card I made for a 3rd birthday...I've used this adorable little pre-coloured image and kept the design fairly clean and simple. I really love the colours on this card and must make a note to use them more often.

GCSE Good Luck Cards

Good morning,

It's GCSE season and I wanted to make Sophie a Good Luck card to wish her well in her exams. I knew it had to be a fairly clean and simple design and I cased this really pretty card I 'accidentally' discovered on Pinterest.

I also wanted to make cards for Sophie's besties Deon and lauren, as this is such a tough time for all of them and I wanted to let them know we were thinking of them too!

Here's a couple of photos of Sophie...2011 when she started out on her high school adventure and again in 2016 on her leaver's day. I love that the pose is the same some 5 years later!

Champ Rosette

Good morning,

Todays card is pre-scheduled as I'm enjoying a short break in Paris with my hubby and daughter. We're due back tomorrow and I'll be visiting your blogs over the weekend to catch up with your recent makes!

This little card was made for the grandson of our friends in America. I saw the cutest little set of Batman PJ's which I purchased and sent to Andrew and the colours on the card were of course inspired by the jammies.

I handmade the pinwheel (its about 5" in diameter) and the centre badge was created on the computer and mounted on to plain black card stock.

Here's a piccy of the main man...this one is called 'Rainy Day Batman'

18th Birthday Card

Good morning,

I hope everyone is well and that you are all looking forward to the weekend!

I'm sharing an 18th birthday card I made recently for a friend of my daughter's. I've attempted a card that doesn't have a digital image as I haven't felt much like colouring in with my Promarkers recently. It kind of turned out OK but all the white space is kind of freaking me out!

Passion for Promarkers #307...Jolly Holiday

Good morning,

It's my turn to choose the challenge theme at Passion for Promarkers this week and seeing as it's holiday season I thought I'd go with a theme of 'JOLLY HOLIDAY'

Whenever I hear these words I always think of the Mary Poppins movie and the chalk drawing scene when Bert says 'it's a jolly oliday with Mary'...happy days and childhood memories!

You don't necessarily have to go with a summer holiday theme, you can interpret the challenge in anyway you like, which may of course include Christmas themed creations.
