Picked just for you!

Good evening all.  I hope you are all well and are enjoying your Saturday.  Mr Blogger has been playing up again - I have been unable to leave comments.  I hope he gets himself sorted out soon.

Mr Blogger

Bloom and Grow

Good Evening all.  I hope you are all well.  I am so cold I have put the heating on again.  I wish summer would come back.

I have made this card using Nit Wits - Cherry Blossom.  The stamp is from Little Claire.  I think the sentiment "Anytime is the right time for a hug"  is lovely.  I have used a Marianne Creatable flower die and a Martha Stewart border flower punch.  The ribbon and stones are from my stash.

Hope you are all having a good Saturday.  I have been in my craft room all day and loving every minute of it.  And tomorrow, I have got Craft Club in the afternoon.

Now off to make a cheesecake for tomorrow!

Papercrafts at EDINBURGH

WOW what a fantastic time I had yesterday at the new Sincerely Yours Papercrafts at EDINBURGH.  It was held at the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena at Newbridge.  Here is a photo of all the goodies I bought.  I think this will keep me going for a while.  At least until the next show!  I am going to spend the day in my craft room playing. 

Have a good weekend.

Get Well Soon

I hope you are all having a lovely Saturday.  What a miserable day it has been here.  The sun is just coming out now.  I have spent a lovely afternoon in my craft room.  Hubby is away out playing golf in the rain!

I made this card for a friend of mine who is not well.  I got the inspiration from Creative Cardmaking magazine using Marianne Creatables doily dies.  I was so pleased the way it turned out.

And this little Easel Card was made just for the fun of it.
