Another year older...............

Not me I hasten to add - I'm not having extra birthdays in fact I really don't want any more.

We have a thing in our house about bears (obviously) penguins and elephants and each year I find a new one for hubby's birthday.

This is the Papercreator penguin quick card front  which has both an 8x8 option used above and 6x6 which I made up below without the buttons. The sentiments on the top one are by Blomde Moments

Fairytale Friday

Background: Birds Cards Cut file 

Sentiments: Whimsy Cards & Blonde Moments

Card Base: Silhouette Cameo

Can't believe it's Friday round again already. Although it's a good day as it's sausage and chips day so hubby doesn't need a pack up.

I just managed to sneak in with my card this morning as I've been having awful laptop issues again this week - fingers crossed it seems on so far today.

I've managed to blag the stall next to some real live owls tomorrow at a craft fair I'm doing so am really really excited - I have been instructed to sneak one home as hubby would love one as a pet - not gonna happen!!

Ikkle Bunny

Another one from the Papercreator mega bundle of toppers - this bunny comes in a square but I had to cut her out for my card as she just didn't look right with the circular base. As with all the others you get a sheet of toppers and an A4 backing paper sheet although this stars one is a left over from a Forever Friends kit 

Bear with me!

Apologies for being such a rubbish blogger just at the mo I'm really really busy with the run up to Christmas craft fairs and several orders and unfortunately something has to give!

I just love this bear which is no surprise as you see him quite often so I've made a new baby card with him he's part of the Papercreator Toppers Mega Bundle (again)

Awwww a Baby.............................. Seal

I just love this image - you can never go far wrong with a penguin.

Quick and very Pink

Sometimes a card just falls together and this one with a cute Bugaboo girl was one of those. Can't beat polka dots and throwing a load of buttons at a card to finish it off.

We're on the last few days of school here at the moment although I don't think my tall child has had a proper lesson for well over a week. She spent Tuesday at an athletics meeting, Wednesday was "enrichment day" and today she's at the Hunger  Humber Games playing Dodgeball!

I am wondering where the last year has gone and how I'm going to survive the next 6 weeks without being destitute at the end of it *grin*

Ikkle Church

This was always one of those stamps I meant to buy so I ordered it to put myself out of my misery it's by Dimension Stamps and the wonderful hearts background card is a free cutting file from Birds Cards with an insert from First Edition and a sentiment from Blonde Moments this was a doddle

It's your last week to enter our Teddy Bo spring challenge before we have a new one and fabby new images next Tuesday. Yet again I've not managed a spring card although weddings are supposed to be a new start like spring are they not?????

Tall Child has a birthday

Tall child was 13 yesterday - she picked out hot pink and cyan promarkers but said the image was up to me.
This one by Sassy Cheryl so reminds me of her when she was smaller although she still has the rabbit.

Melinda Blowing Hearts

Seem to be going through a pink and girly phase at the moment **shudders** am sure I'll soon grow out of it. I don't use these Melinda's anywhere near often enough so will maybe dig another one out this side of Christmas.

I would like to enter Whimsy's all things sparkly as there are loads of gems on this one.

Love Tag

Every time I make a tag I always think I really should make these more often - it will therefore be months before you see another one lol!

This is for the Meljens Tag it challenge and My Mums Craft Shop Kraft challenge although I should maybe have made it stand out more in  the pic.

The pinks do match better in real life - but I'm no David Bailey (shows age)

Hugs
