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!

I know - I am sorry

Better late though than never I say........sorry been a way for a while - work again is getting in the way......though going to make a concerted effort for me time....so much so started a gym...and totally love it...not weights and power lifting - but I go to the classes...they motivate you and make you do just that little bit more...and yup - it's working - so just got to stick with it now.......

Made some cards and tags to show you

 Just added some blossom to the tree to make it a bit more girlie

 And then needed some tags so my scrap card once again came in handy

 and added some punched out butterfly's to this one

So sorry if you thought I had left.....Naaaaaaahhhhhh......just need to get round as many of you all now that I can
Happy Bank Holiday Monday to you in the UK

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...

Entered this into Sassy Cheryl's - Show me Thursday...

It's a Mo Manning image as I am sure you know already - love her..

Coloured her in with Copics and added my usual glitter here and there. Glossed her laptop to make it look like a Dell....punched out a button using my MS punch - another useful punch if you do not have it....
