For the boys....

Don't you think sometimes it is hard to make cards for the guys? I so want to use ribbons and sparkle and lace....


Well I have got a few birthdays coming up this month 3 of which are for guys, so I thought I had better get them done... the reason? Well I am off on a well earned holiday in just over a weeks time (Yay!) Off to the Island of  Majorca .. A place I love and have visited quite often over the last few years. It never disappoints me...

I want to be able to just spend a whole week relaxing and not having to worry that I forgot someone's birthday ...

Digital papers with some twine and buttons and voila! suitable for a guy...
...my friends husband

... Added some butterflies to this one for my Uncle....

More Vinnie Pearce here with a touch of red for my Brother ... Well, we are Liverpool FC supporters he and I.

And lastly, a card I did for Shirley.....

Thanks for stopping by...

Keep safe...

Celebrations and Remembrance ....

Monday will be my 'Adorable',  'Much Loved' great nephew's 8th birthday.....

He is a bundle of energy, bright as can be and has overcome so much in his young life...

His birthday unfortunately will always be tinged with some sadness, as his Incredibly wonderful and devoted daddy was rushed to hospital on the morning of Ross's 3rd birthday ... he passed away the following morning...

Not a day goes by when we don't think of him and miss him ...... But Monday will be Ross's day.

We don't seem to be able to get treat cups here in the UK so I improvised and used the package front from one of my rolls of tape ...  works just fine.

Alas for me, I will be attending the funeral of my friends' son Adam on Monday ..... This too will be a celebration of his life..... Celebrations and Remembrance.....

Thank you all for your prayers and your lovely comments

Till soon keep safe..

Tag Challenge

Hi there,


City Crafters Challenge starts today.. you can visit here .. please pop along and see all the creations - these girls are so lovely ....
Anyway. the challenge this week is for a Tag, be it on a card or on it's own... Here is mine..

This is actually an envelope tag ... So I can just put money in or any other little thing like a note, some jewellery, a photo ... 

This is the back...

I did a little close up too ... see that charm?

Well that was actually an earring.... not sure who would wear them, but I saw them ages ago being sold for coppers (maybe no one does wear them?) so I bought them knowing I could use them someway in my crafting. 

Enjoyed doing this ...

Before I go - Thank you again for all the lovely comments and for stopping by...

Have a great day

Till soon

Lilies and sadness

Hi everyone ...


Just a short post today with a little card to share....

This is the card I did the other day... I love lilies, their scent and their elegant beauty. As you have probably gathered, I have no copics, and I am useless at colouring in for some reason... hence I like to use stamps straight on to paper or card. This was a little tricky to cut out but it was worth it.

A little sad news... yesterday my friend Shirley lost a second son to Cystic Fibrosis.... Her eldest son died a couple of years ago .. he was a close friend of Mikey.. both boys were only in their early 20's ... How my heart aches for her.....Please remember her in your prayers.....

Till soon

Fairy softness

Hi there,


I didn't think I would be posting today as I have been to see my Aunt in Lincoln ... but on checking my favourite blogs, I saw that Mona Pendleton - who creates the most beautiful things - had set a challenge on the Play Date Cafe blog.... It was just too hard to resist having seen her card and all the beautiful entries...


So here is mine....

A little Fairy baby nestling in the flowers

Yes, I used some more of that lovely scrunched ribbon - it really adds to the softness of the colours and the theme... just a little bit of glitter on baby's wings too.

That's all for now

Till soon - keep safe
