Happy Fathers Day

I would like to wish my dad, my father in law and my hubby a happy fathers day.  Hope you all liked your cards.

 I have plenty of pics to show you all, after having crafters block for a couple of weeks, necessity meant that i had to get over it whether it came easy or not.  Luckily I managed it.

 Firstly I needed my Rainbows, Brownies and Guides to make cards, so had to print out some of my digi stamps for them to colour to make their cards.  Here are a couple of examples of the cards the guides (aged 10-14) made for their dads/grandads.  I think they did a really good job, hope you agree with me.





'monkey' made by Georgia S (sorry cannot find who digistamp artist is)
'dad' digi by papersquirrel

 


'footy' by Natasha digi stamp by MelonHeadz


I would like to thank all of the artists who share their work with everyone, especially Meljens, Nikki at Melonheadz and Angelique at Sliekje Stamps whose digis I love x

Now for all the cards i made or designed for Fathers Day

Lastly there are the cards my kids made (some with my help) for their dad.
He was very spoilt as DD made him 3 cards one at brownies, one at beavers and one at school, the boys had one each.

Thanks for looking, hope to see you again soon x

half term hols

Well we are half way through the school holiday, life is as busy as usual, so not had much time to do craft.

We went to a family fun day held at Gt Hautbois House, Anglia's activity centre for girlguiding uk.  The kids love it, they get to do loads of exciting things like archery, zipwire, kayaking :)

My eldest son went into hospital on Tuesday. He had 2 teeth extracted, and I'm pleased to say all went well and he is home recovering nicely. I was a bag of nerves and was in tears most of the morning.  I took my promarkers with me and coloured lots of digistamps while we waited.  I also discovered he takes after me a little :)
When the nurse went to take his hospital bracelet off he stopped her and said 'No, i want to keep it'. He also kept his mask.   I feel another scrapbook page happening (eventually)

We stayed home yesterday, DS3cDS3 the grass, hubby built a new gate with DS2's help, while I chilled out after the stress of the day before ( and watched create and craft :) Finishing with a barbeque in the sunshine.

Here are a couple of old layouts and cards for you

Lets hope the rest of the week stays nice and we can enjoy the good weather.

Thanks for looking x

I must be getting old as I have a child who has left school!!! plus Free MTC file

Today is DS1's last full day of school.  Where has the time gone?...... It seems like only a couple of years ago he started nursery school.  He is working very hard still as the exam season is not finished quite yet, plus there is still a prom, then an extra long summer holiday before he becomes a sixth former.  We are so proud of him and know that he can achieve anything he strives for.

Today I would also like to wish my Nephew a very happy 18th Birthday.


made using background paper from American Crafts

It's been a busy couple of weeks and Ben's Birthday

Sorry for being missing in action, I don't know where the time has gone.

Talking of which my second son, celebrates his 14th Birthday today.
He is a typical second child ;)  and whenever there is trouble in the house you can always find him right in the middle of it. He is growing up so fast (and is now taller than me).


Here he is

Here are the cards I made him

Also a very good friend of mine has just had a baby girl. Here is the baby card I made

Wedding card and Brownie camp

I have just about recovered from Brownie Holiday. The weather was great and the kids were little stars.  My little one had a good time but was a bit poorly for some of it, but she was a little trooper and got to the end of it.  I was a very proud mummy as she made her Brownie promise, plus her build a bear Emi made her promise too :)

One of my best friends is having a very busy time at the moment,  her son is getting married this weekend.  This is the card I have made for the happy couple using my silhouette machine and Make the cut.



Im off to outer space for the weekend :)

No, Im not mad, Im a Brownie Leader, lol.

This weekend we are having our annual brownie holiday and the theme is space.

In the last couple of days i have been doing charts and crafts, today I cut out over 300 circles using my cricut to make solar system mobiles. These will help the girls with their star gazer badge.

Well today we also baked cupcakes to help us celebrate the Royal Wedding.
It was such a lovely wedding and the dress was stunning.

Here are the cupcakes we made(please excuse the flags, DD and DS3 helped me make them and some are upside down)

Here is the tardis I made.  I used the pixel trace feature on MTC.
