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
