Oh Brother!

Hi everyone,

Well the hour has changed and the weather forecasters are threatening bad weather so a good reason to get into the craft room and get creative. There is a week in October when I have 6 birthdays for which to make cards, for friends and family. As promised in my last post I said I would share the 3 male cards I made; these were for my brothers whose birthdays all fall in the same week so coming up with different ideas can be tricky....

One of the boys birthdays is a milestone one so I decided to make a card in box for him so it was bit different - Happy Birthday Chris! Jon has just come back from his very own Ryder Cup golf week so a golf card felt natural for him. Alex loves dogs, as I don't have any dog stamps I went with a Watercolour Wishes card in blues and greys and personalised it.

I made another card in a box for my friends daughter, thank you to Lea Denton for her excellent You Tube tutorial which I followed and am now hooked on making them!

I'd love to hear what you think of them.

Halloween

Hi, so we're well into October now and the weathers a changing! Having just come back from the USA where they decorate for Halloween at the beginning of October I thought I would get into the mood....
I had bought the Witches Hat kit (see details below) from the Autumn/Winter2015 catalogue so I made that and then I saw this little fellow on Pinterest, by PattyStamps. I've made 4 of them and put them around the hat. He is very easy to make with the Curvy Keepsake die and I just love the black glimmer card I've used for his hat. The family came to visit and having made 4 pumpkins I now only have 1 left; not only did my granddaughters want one each my daughter in law did as well! I thought that was a real compliment.. I hope you like them! You too could make them, the details are below and everything is available via the 'My Shop' link. Enjoy!

Hello

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been posting as regularly as I would have liked. For some reason my photos aren't available when I want to upload them to the blog so I need to do some investigating...

I have three male birthdays coming up this next week and I really struggle with male birthdays, I'll show you next week what I came up with when they've all had their cards.

Since getting back from our 'Road Trip' we've been adjusting to day to day life again, washing, ironing, chores and reconnecting with friends so I thought I would share with you some cards I  made before we went away. I had a friend diagnosed with breast cancer so the 'Thinking of You' card was for her, and she had her op whilst we were away. There were also friends and family birthdays and starting new jobs/schools so they got a card as well...

I hope you like them and I would love to get your comments,

Bye for now,
