Happy 50th Birthday

Afternoon to you all, a nice one at that , a wee bit nippy but nice bright day ! This is the card I made to give to my boss, it was his 50th birthday party we were at on Saturday, he is always up for a laugh so though he would like this one, image is from http://redonkulousdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/ coloured in with promarkers, papers are from papercraft Elgin and candy is from my stash. Im off now to watch the pride of britain award as dont want to watch it with Robbie, from what I hear I will need the box of tissues so just going to watch it on my own as he always sits and watches and says are you crying yet and it annoys me . Catch up with you all soon. Aud x

Merry Christmas

Afternoon to you all, ive been neglecting my blog a bit this last week but been busy helping to organising a 50th birthday for my boss Im not sure I shouldve as im coming up to the big 40 soon and as he told me revenge is sweet !! We had a fantastic night and about 95% of people came in fancy dress lots of effort went into the costumes, enough rabbling and onto my card today I used serene snowflake stamps and baja breeze ink from SU then i embossed my top snoflake and added gems , the punch is also SU and the sentiment is from craftwork cards, I used silver mirri card for the backing but the photo doesnt really do it justice. Hope to catch up with you later on in the week with some more xmas cards.  The photos below were robbie and I in fancy dress at the party, we were both so hot with those wigs on but was all worth it !!

30th Birthday

Had a day pottering around in my craft room as Robbie was watching sport for most of it, trying to do xmas cards but had a few birthday cards to do first so this is one of them, the image is from my stash cant remember where its from but coloured her in with promarkers the embossing folder is a new one my mum bought so had to have a shot of it and really like it , its not unlike the sizzix one but unfortunately its discontinued, the gems and ribbon are also from my stash and the punch is a craft tonic, speaking of tonic I think I will go and put my feet up and have a gin & tonic, catch up with you all soon.

Diamond Wedding

Thursday again and not a very nice one either its dreich as they say, a good day for crafting well its either that or housework !!  Did this card today for a diamond wedding, cut the backing out with my cricut then embossed with swiss dots folder then cut a heart and a shadow for it and did them both in cream then embossed the shadow and layered the heart onto it although the photo doesnt really show the layers, the sentiment was done on my computer then cut with nesties. Gems are all done with my hotfix tool off now for another play around, Catch up with you all soon. Aud x

Happy Halloween

Afternoon to you all, Ive not been blogging much this week, I was working Monday instead of tuesday this week and its knocked me all off ,  thats easy to do !! Just had a great afternoon playing around with my crafty buddys and how time flys when your having fun. Ive made this halloween goody bag for a little girl who comes to visit me on a friday her name looks squint on here but its the way that Ive had to have my bag sitting to get a photo of it as its really to heavy for my stand, I cut the pillow bag with my cricut and the image is a freebie from https://www.redonkulousdesigns.com/ which i coloured in with my promarkers and I use some candy at the top and little peel off dots, I filled the bag with kiddy sweeties and a penny for her so Im sure she will be delighted . Catch up with you all later. Aud x
