Baby baby baby ...

Just a quick post today. The birth of a baby brings so much joy & happiness. And what better way to celebrate than with a handmade card :) One of the mums from school gave birth to a gorgeous little girl recently, so I made 2 cards for her ... one from me and one requested by a friend. And in the same week, a plea for another baby girl card! So here are all three ...

The 2 cards above use products from Craftwork Cards, 'Warren' the rabbit is soooo cute!

This card is made from papers & a topper from the Do crafts goody bag last month, Tatty Teddy is just right for baby cards.

Finally, from the young to the old! My lovely Dad had his birthday the other day & here's the card I made for him ...

This card was stamped with the spot on roller from Stampin' Up. Other stamps used were, I think from Banana Frog & Clarity Stamps.

Right, a frantic 2 weeks for me now ... I sit my level 2 psychology exam with the Open University 2 weeks today. Aaaaaagh!! I haven't sat an exam for ... well, yes let's not even go there! So I'm off now to revise, revise, revise ...

Take care & thanks for stopping by x

Over the hill!!

April was a pretty mad month. The title of this post gives you a smidge of a clue why ... yes, I reached that milestone of a birthday, the big 40!!
Now instead of sobbing into my grey hair I decided to embrace my coming of age with lots of treats & celebrations :)
I had an 80s night out with my lovely friends, a meal out with my fab family & a visit to Blenheim palace in the gorgeous sunshine with hubby & my cherubs :)
And I'm really gonna milk this ... a trip on the London eye had to be postponed, we decided visiting London the same weekend as a big footie match & the marathon was a bad idea so I still have this to look forward to. I've never been to ladies day at Ascott so that's booked up. Oh, & a girly day at a health spa is calling me later in the year. I mean, come on, what's not to like about turning 40??!! :)

Onto crafty things now, an old school friend of mine also turned 40 a few days after me so here's the card I made for her. I'm loving the lace & bakers twine that's so popular at the moment. Or butchers twine, as one of my lovely crafting friends keeps calling it :)

And just to get your taste buds watering, there's a pic of the birthday cake I made for myself. Yes, covered in maltesers & minstrels. Yummy ...

Take care & thanks for popping by x
