Happy Anniversary, Sis!

My completely gorgeous sister, Nic and her lovely husband, Ty are celebrating their anniversary this weekend. What a perfect opportunity to make use of my new X cut border punch!!! I had to fight some poor little old lady for this beauty - but who wouldn't with this cute little heart pattern??? It was 20% off day at my local craft shop so this was an absolute steal! (I can't wait to show you my other goodies too, including some gorgeous little alphabet stamps which were an absolute bargain at 80p!) I'm also feeling very proud of myself for using some of my Pink Parfait paper scraps. Flowers are from Clare and heart embellishment from Ali, both from the RAK club for my birthday - thankyou!!!
Love 'n' hugs,

You Rock!

Hiya! Nice to be back! I know it's been a while since I last posted anything but you've got to blame the good weather really! I managed to get a lot of gardening done so I've got some yummy fruit, veggies and herbs on the way (I hope!)...

Anyway, it's my other baby's birthday next week. Marc is going to be 15 - ok, not such a baby anymore. It's his creations that followers have seen on here recently. I definitely bought this stamp with him in mind. I love it! It's difficult to find things suitable for teenage boys but this fits the bill perfectly. I had a go at embossing the small black square but you can't see it very clearly on this picture... Hope you like it!

I'm going back into the garden - hope the weather's as nice where you are!

Love 'n' hugs,

And finally... One from me!

I finally managed to grab some time to make a card using some of my lovely birthday goodies... My good friend, Nic is getting married in the summer and this is my card to accept the invitation to her wedding. She's having a lovely pale green colour scheme, hence the colour on my card. My lovely boyfriend, Paul, bought me the scalloped circle nestabilities for my birthday and I couldn't wait to use them. They cut so neatly! Really pleased with them - thankyou, Paul! And then the beautiful bells embellishment was from Ali over at the Rak club for my birthday - thankyou!

Hope you like it.
Love 'n' hugs,

Another of Marc's creations

Following the success of the card he made for my birthday, my son, Marc (14) has made another card for his little brother Charlie who is going to be 1 tomorrow (time goes sooo quick!). I know he really appreciated the comments last time so please let him know what you think.

Love 'n' hugs,
