Beach Mae

Morning all, it's a bit blustery here today and the sun is very intermittent...at least it's not raining...yet! We've had quite a busy week with Sophie appearing in a school production of the musical Oliver...it ran over three nights, was absolutely brilliant and a great interpretation of the original! Can't wait for the next one now!

This lil' card is for Sophie's best friend Olivia...she turned 12 on Thursday and the only brief that Sophie gave me, was that the card had to have anchor on it, as Liv loves anchors...I got there in the end after a bit of head scratching...Sophie pointed out to me yesterday that I could have used a mermaid image....doh...why didn't I think of that lol! Gotta love this cute Mae image though from Some Odd Girl

CES Challenge 81...Paper Piece It!

Good Morning me lovelies...we had a fantastic day yesterday celebrating Sophie's birthday! We spent the day in Camden and saw some very weird and wonderful sights and it was so funny watching the girls barter with the market and shop traders...they got some pretty good bargains in the end!

This is James' card to Sophie...these are her absolute fav colours and this cute little image from Some Odd Girl really reminds me of Sophie has she has a pair of geeky glasses like this! I did put some Crystal Effects on the glasses but it's not showing that well.

Well, it's Saturday which means a new challenge at CES Challenges...my gorgeous teamie Karen has chosen this weeks theme...PAPER PIECE IT...easy peasy...just include some paper piecing on your project. If you need any inspiration then pop over to the challenge blog to see what the girls have made!
