Good Luck

Morning - another nice day - and at work!!!! worked over at the coast yesterday - went and saw the sea as you do - but alas not a beach day as working...
Todays card is a Good Luck card for my youngest Emily - she has her A levels - starting next week...tension in our house hold is a nightmare!

Love this Mo Manning image - though had a bit of camera shakes looking at it now - sorry

 Close up

And sentiment

Have a good day - hope the sun is shining on you all - soak some up for me please

running card

Morning

Its blowing a hoolie here...Archie and I nearly got blown over and wind burn on our dog walk this am.....
Snow all gone for the moment - though I am sure it will be back next week....

This card not over chuffed with it....the 18 "ran" on her t shirt - but soooo love the image - its a Mo Manning - another fab image of hers...what a talent!
Made it for Emily, as you probably know she loves her running....so thought quiet appropriate....

 Made a step card and then on the ted - double stamped and lifted up........its an ok card - but not the vision in my head I had of it...hey ho.....

Em had some friend's over to stay last night - so I was on pancake making duty - and now just off to a spinning class in a moment - honestly - why do I put myself through it???.....

Went out for a nice meal last night if you are ever out that way - Moor and Pheasant at Dalton (towards Thirsk)....very nice - bonus has 20% meal and drinks.....and I was not driving!...Bacardi and Coke here we come!...so now off to the gym to work it off - but then got stew and dumplings for tea...so will put it all back on.....gotta live I say!
Have a lovely Sunday

candle cards

Aaaaahhhh just come back from a nice Sunday lunch - did not fancy cooking - not that I cook much so went to the pub for lunch - problem is I now feel like falling asleep!!!

Had to make 2 quick cards the other day - as always Em wanted them last minute...
Found this candle die-cut and love it, already had the Martha Stewart Happy Birthday punch - quick and simple cards.

 And one for a girl

Do not know what is happening with my Magnolia in the garden - but it is flowering again - sad thing is I know the frost will kill it....

Hope you have a great rest of the weekend, and hope Monday is not too bad for you all....


 

Back to Uni

Well Bex is off back to Uni - 3rd yr out of 4...I can go in for a deep clean of her room again to wait for her return to totally trash it again...miss her when she is not here though....
Made her a card for her new accommodation and good luck for yr 3 sort of card - rolled into one....



 

Sooooooooo love this newish Mo Manning image and the text is perfect and soooo true...

 

Coloured in with copics and crackled the swing seat and glossed the under side of her shoes..... and as always embossed the envelope

Enjoy

Hugs!

Morning....another nice day coming this way!

Well I am still off work and enjoying every minute of it...why do we have to work????

Made these two cards for two 40ths in the office - sooooo love these Mo images - not used them for a while.

The verse is not as good as the 2nd card - but I thought "pout" was wrong on a male card

 Coloured in with Copics...NO GLITTER - shock horror!

 Love this little girl - now everyone knows someone who was/is like this picture? and sorry no glitter again...blimey - that's a first!

 Off into York today for a spot of "ladies who lunch" day...need to dog walk first - so speak soon - have a good one

 

 

Exam results



 

Morning.......

 

 

Just thought I would post these 3 exam congratulations cards I made...hope I am not tempting fate though as results not out for 2 of them until end of the month - so "touch wood".....she says touching her crafting table.

 

Used a fab Mo Manning image which I am sure you are all familiar with - I love it....add gloss, glitter and voilà.......



 

 

Enjoy the day - I am off today - mixing cement for hubby for the patio - god he knows how to treat a woman....
Hugs all....

#173 Red white and blue

In-between watching Murray play tennis thought I would quickly post this for the challenge over at Sassys Cheryls - theme is #173 Red, white and blue - and use a Sassy image.....

Sorry not taken with my new camera - seems crazy that made a xmas card - when actually the UK is hot for a change...washed and then took ironing board outside and ironed from the line....all done - fab..



 

Love this image....glossed the skates and stickled here and there...

Enjoy the rest of Sunday - do I think Murray will win...sorry - as much as I would like him to win - no..hey ho.
Been away to Birmingham as Em running in English schools - sadly did not do as well as hoped - today she is running in Middlesbrough - I have a day off from been mums taxi which is nice....and typical when I am not there she gets a Gold!...am I the jinx?...
Be back later..
