The Question?

Good morning my lovelies, hope you've all had a good week...mine has been quite busy with work and I haven't had much time to craft so I intend to play catch up this weekend.

I made this card for one of my work buddies who went on maternity leave yesterday. I opted not to go with a cute baby image when I accidentally stumbled across this fab digi over at Karen's Doodles. This really is the million dollar question that is every man's worst nightmare except perhaps 'does my bum look big in this' lol! I really enjoyed colouring this couple in and I went with some spring themed colours with the papers.

I'm entering my card into the following challenge...

Crikey, I can't believe it's almost half-term already...my two break up tomorrow and they're more than ready for a few lie-ins, especially Sophie. We're very excited about Halloween next week too...all those scrummy treats...yum yum I love this time of year!

My friend asked for this card and I thought I'd share it with you today. This is one of my all time fav images although I wouldn't recommend that anyone who has just passed their test, drive like this...that would just be too dangerous lol!

It's a Pass!

Good morning my lovelies...hope you are having a good week so far and that any poorlies amongst you are now on the mend! It goes without saying that I'm looking forward to the weekend...it's a long one and fingers crossed we get some decent weather to go with it!

Well...my gorgeous boy passed his driving test on Tuesday and I am so so proud of him! The weather was horrendous and so was the traffic, but he passed with only 2 minors and all we need to do now is get him a car and sort out the insurance. I guess the worrying really starts then, when he's out and about on his own...yikes!

Cupcake Craft Challenge 168...Two's Company

Good morning everyone, hope you have all had a lovely crafty weekend! We have a fab new challenge for you today over at Cupcake Craft Challenge...my gorgeous teamie Delphine has chosen the theme which is called TWO's COMPANY! The idea is to have two or more characters on your work (coming from the same stamp or different stamps)...animals don't count...but fairies and angels are OK!

I made this card for a 10 year old and 11 year old that were being Christened and I took my image and flipped it so they were facing each other and I made one slightly taller than the other. This is one of the things I love about digital images, they are so versatile!

We are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and the winner gets to choose 4 digital images of their choice!

Novembers Cupcake on the Icing sponsor is Crafts U Love and the lucky winner will win a £15 Gift Voucher.

I'm feeling a lil' bit sad today as I've sold my Cricut Expression and I was having big regrets whilst packing it up ready for despatch!

Here's a pretty quick and easy get well card I made...I found this brilliant image over at Karen's Doodles and it's just perfick for those difficult male cards...especially when they are poorly!
