Rush of Men

Afternoon all , well it seems that all the men in my life are either having a birthday buy a house or getting engaged lol i have had a mad rush on cards !

first my bro moved in to his new place , then he got engaged to the lovely Sarah, i am so cross at myself coz i made a gorgeous card but gave it to them with out photographing it first arghhh! it was made from clear acetate and i used the luvvie Leanne Ellis stamp.

then it was my brother in laws birthday and my mother in law asked me to make his card for them and of course i had to make my own phew ..... here are the results-

I used good old basic grey papers on both the star card is 'offbeat' and the tile card is 'granola' the star stamp was a freebie with Craft Stamper mag a few weeks ago i love it thinking of getting a similar tattoo with my sons name through it ..very American basket ball logo lol.

so after all that i have my brothers birthday and my dads birthday a week apart then my 3 fathers day cards (i am luck and have 3 dads now lol ..long story)

so a general Man rush .

just ordered the new miss Anya stamps and a few of the new Leanne Ellis from Sugar Nellie can't wait to get them they are lush!! hope they arrive before i go to France.

take care xxxx

Hi Everyone - challenges

Hi to all that are passing by , well i managed 1 challenge card its on the blog too lol .. I am improving heehee.

The day just ran away with me yesterday Oliver (my little one see pic above) was being a little monkey so no chance of crafting until Ben got home then i had to do tea etc etc, by the time i sat down it was 9pm so a manic craft session began lol. It took me over an hour to colour my Tilda , it's my first Tilda and my first copic colouring so hopefully i will speed up then i had to put it all together but it was finished at 11.50, so late night for me. For some reason i thought the deadline was 12pm Wednesday but it wasn't it was today lol it was the sugar bowl challenge that finished at 12 so i was gutted i missed it anyways a nice card over all fingers crossed for it x.

hoping the little monster will take a nap today and i can get some more crafting done, the results will be up soon.

take care all
