Bunches of Love...and a few crosswords for good measure

Hello :)

Welcome to the third edition of missing card updates!

This time I'm boring you (hopefully not too much) with multiple cards of the same(ish) designs having tried my hand at batch making for simple and "quick" cards, many of which are on sale at Chatsworth Beauty Therapies.

I have also done a few for the dads with a crossword design for Father's day and Dad's Birthday but I intend to make a few more that are blank or with other wording... maybe with some clues to fill it in yourself on receipt? we'll see!

The stamps for these cards, would you believe, were NOT from Lili of the Valley! Unfortunately, I can't actually remember where I picked them up, possibly Hobbycraft, or The Range, or they were kindly donated to me...Sorry if you like them and wanted to know where to purchase this time!  

I couldn't do a blog update without sharing a card or two with some LOTV images so here's my final three cards for today:

Happy Circular Sentiments

The Images of the below two were from the Wild Flowers Art Pad but I can't seem to find this on the LOTV website so wonder if they have now been discontinued :( The sentiment on the first is actually from Craftwork Cards, link below.

Mini birthday messages black

Thank you for dropping by, if you made it this far then I obviously haven't bored you too much and maybe you will come back for the next installment ;)

Until then,

Four Legged Friends

Hello :)

So, last weekend I managed to update my blog (yay!), go horse riding for the second time in 15 years (yay!), and smash my phone screen (booo).  I guess if I was superstitious I would have blamed the fact that "it was the 13th after all"...but I'm not, being that I have two black cats who are constantly crossing in front of me! 

As a side note, for anyone in the Chesterfield (Derbyshire, UK) area of the country interested in learning to horse ride I cannot recommend Poplar Farm in Duckmanton enough! They can be found on Facebook or call them on 01246 826424.

On the mention of horses, and cats, this leads me onto my latest batch of cards to share with you - a selection featuring our four legged friends of all varieties:

Stamps are all from Lili of the Valley and can be found here:

Little Critters - Faraway Friends

Little Critters - Farmyard Friends

Little Critters - Happy Cat

Little Critters - Jack Russell

SET 102 - Block Sentiments

Thanks for stopping by, hope to be back soon :)

Wonderful day for a Wedding!

Ok, I couldn't wait any longer to share this card with you all...it has been a month after all!  

As this card was for my boyfriend's mum and her new husband, I wanted to make them a very special card, so I used the black and white theme of the wedding to create this personalised keepsake.

LOTV - Tango
Dovecraft - Back to Basics - Monochrome Paper

I was delighted to be asked to be a bridesmaid, and not only that, I was also asked to create some pew ends for the ceremony!   So I thought I'd share these with you too:

(excuse the radiator it was the only place I could hang them)

I'd like to finish this post by wishing all the best and congratulations to the new MR & MRS OXLEY :)

A Minnie Update

Good Morning 

Having finally sorted through the recovered photos on my laptop, I will be updating with a handful of cards at a time over the next few weeks!  

For today, a few mini cards, featuring a certain Minnie Mouse! 

All the cards are 4"x4" square, the Minnie mouse toppers were a bargain buy in the sale box at The Range...when I was actually supposed to be looking for ribbon but got rather distracted! Backing paper and Stamped tags are all from Lili of the Valley, where else?! The bows were actually some that I've had for probably the last 10 years since I very first decided to try my hand at card making and then never used! So, there you have it for today...will sort out the next batch of cards to share with you shortly, in the meantime enjoy the sun on a Saturday while you can!
