A Bigsby Birthday

Hi all,this card I made a few weeks ago for a birthday party my 4 year old was attending,she picked the image and the colours and was really happy with the end result.She really does love handmade cards and I am looking forward to making more cards with her.Anyway,I just want apologise for not blogging much the last week.I have been really busy and I found out that my Aunt who was very dear to me passed away on Friday,I am vey upset at the moment and just need to let it sink in that I will never see her again.I will try to blog and make cards,but my heart is just not in it at the moment.........though I am going to try and make some cards this afternoon as I really do need to keep myself busy.Thankyou all for your support and friendship,blogging was something I was scared of doing at first,but now I am so glad I did.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Hi all,Happy Valentines Day!!! I made this card for my husband,the image is from Karen's Doodles and I had to have it,it reminded me so much of my husband with that look on his face....lol....I am entering this card into Saturday Spotlight.The challenge is to use household items on your creation...but NOT a craft item! Use safety pins, dryer sheets, household cleaners, paper clips for doing a technique or using as an embellishment.I have used cooking twine,a staple and I think buttons are ok as they were initially a clothing item,but if not I still have the others.Must go,going to tidy up a bit more and then start on a dinner for my hubby,he went to work this morning before we all woke up and is due home soon.I will pop by and visit you all later this evening,I hope you are all enjoying Valentines Day with your loved ones.

Bigsby's Farewell

Good morning,I needed to make a farewell card for one of the girls at the gym and they really loved this Bigsby image from Karen's Doodles.This is the image Karen put up to advise people not to share digi images,it did have different words in the sign.I emailed Karen to ask if she could change the words for me and she did,thankyou so much Karen.You cannot share digi images or change them in anyway,if you have a request of any sort, it is best to email the artist with your request, and it will be up to them as to whether they can accomodate your request or not.I used this weeks Friday Sketchers sketch to make this card and I am sure I will use it again.I love using sketches at the moment as I am still having trouble with creating,and I tell you the heat is not helping,I am so looking forward to winter........bring it on I say.Going to do some blog hopping,enjoy your day!!!

I survived the Slumber Party!!!

Hi all,I made it through the slumber party Friday night......lol.......though very exhausted.On the Thursday night I didn't get to bed until 4 am, I was doing some last minutes things and finishing the pirate cake.I knew I wouldn't be able to get it done as I had to pick two of the girls up at 10.30am that next morning.The girls were really well behaved and spent most of their time in the pool,they went to bed at 2.00am Friday night and I got to bed about 2.30am,just to make sure they were all asleep.....lol.....On Saturday all but one of the girls were picked up by 11.30am and I had the last one until 4.00pm.Both Friday night and last night I tried to get on the computer to check out some of your blogs and I kept dozing off,I never do that.....lol.....I did sleep in until 11.30am this morning,I was so very tired,it all caught up with me.I still feel a little bit tired,but I think I should be fine by tomorrow and all caught up on sleep.

Anyway,I did mange to make this card yesterday afternoon.I need to make a few Valentines Day cards and I decided to make one using this cute little image from Karen's Doodles.I just love Karen's images and the detail is amazing.I have purchased a few of Karen's images and can't wait to use them.The one I used on this card was my free image.Karen is giving all who follow a free image of their choice until February 1st,you can check out the details here,read all the posts so you can get the correct email address.To get this image Karen wants you all to stay followers,which I think is very fair,besides its not cool to follow for the free image and then stop following........so please be considerate.I used last weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday to make this card,I knew I wouldn't make the challenge but I loved the sketch and wanted to use it.The gorgeous flowers are from Bizzy Becs,I love these flowers.I also got the leaf punch from Bizzy Becs,but I need to check if she is still stocking them.Well,I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.We have had a nice cool change today and its perfect for cardmaking.Thanks for stopping by.
