Penny black Xmas card

Morning....and it's raining cats and dogs!!!! and windy...so I guess it's a cleaning day...with a bit of crafting and jobs...
On a mission with my Xmas cards...Love this Penny Black image....made up the saying and printed that out via the pc....







 

Added the odd bit of gloss and stickles...coloured in with my Copics....



 Love this saying...What every xmas - and day come to think about it should be....
Have a great weekend...hope it is shining where you are.

Piggie Birthday cake

Just finished this cake - thought I would post it...Hubby's Birthday tomorrow - Happy 48th Stephen...- blimey - getting nearer to the big 50.......

This was such an easy cake to make - all it is is a basic sponge - I then covered the top with deeweeeeelish 60 million calories chocolate topping - made some little piggies out of fondant icing and sank them in the icing - edged with chocolate fingers - tied with a ribbon - hey presto...pigs in a hot tub of mud!

 

Love the piggies bottoms in the air...

Exam cards

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh - it's Friday!!!!....moved offices today - to nice new clean spacious offices - faaaaabbbbbb - leaving behind a great office - but onwards and upwards....
Made this card for Emily as she is revising at the moment for her GCSE exams as most people her age are - love this fabby Sassy Cheryl image - coloured the little fella to look like my Archie...

 Love him

 And then Bex saw that I had not made her a card as she is studying for her 1st yr at Uni exams -so made her this one

Honestly - they moan that I craft - but the moment I do not make them a card - you think there world had come to an end................

Well weather after they PROMISED us sunshine on Sunday - looks like we are in for a downpour!... it's also my wedding anniversary too - 23 yrs married - blimey....how old do I feel!....

Enjoy yr weekend

snowman card

Hi there...

Middle of the week - just thought I would post this before I take Em to running training....

Move offices next week - great - will be nice working with my new team rather than scattered all over the place....though when it comes to Monday and the chaos that goes with it I am sure I will hate it - you can guarantee that IT will be an issue...

Anyway - apparently the sunshine is coming this weekend.....I have even started to open my windows on my greenhouse - so that's a good sign...

Made another Xmas card...and yes - it's out of focus - I think I need a new camera and lessons...but hopefully you can see how fab this Sassy Cheryl's snowman is - I love her images.



 

Glittered here and there and glossed his boots and did some embossing on the background..Also embossed the envelope - love doing this for xmas - makes the card extra special.

 

Enjoy your evening - think of me doing the running and Sainsbury's run...what a life I live!

 

Speak soon

Hope you all got lots of eggs and ate them all - it is only one day a year after all!

Friday

Hi there............

Sorry work been getting in the way...and then hubby and I went away for a long weekend to Budapest-Hungary...wow what a place - went with one of my bezzies and her hubby - Trace my other bezzie couldn't make it - missed her...but hey ho....Wow was it cold - you know the cold that just goes to your bones...so had to spend lots of time eating and in bars - just to stay warm of course....lots of history going on in Budapest - walked for miles and miles - and crammed sooooo much in....had a great time...

 

Managed to make this card before I went and forgot to post it.... Love this LOTV image....though again my stupid photography skills let me down......

 

Even with a zoom in does not look much better....

 

Bex home this weekend for good - well for next term - she has decided to commute each day - only 1hr each way on the train...so will see how that goes...she just needs to go back now this term for exams so that is good...She has put her order in already as to what she wants to eat as her welcome home meal on Sunday!...

Have a great weekend folks...
