Well this was a huge project. (mental note to

self - keep your gob shut in future). So the surprise

birthday lunch went without a glitch. 10 place

settings and favour box's in Lynn's favourite

colours of blue, blue and blue/green. One notebook

and pen in matching colours for the most organised

girl i have ever met and a matching pair of earrings.

My first proper attempt at jewellery. Oh and

of course matching birthday card though she had

that yesterday and has almost definitely consumed

a bottle of wine or two by now so won't have

noticed yet. It has taken 2 weeks to finish them

all but am really pleased with the way they turned

out. I think she was as well which was the main

point. Thanks for looking.

Ok had a spare 1/2 hour and started

playing. I love these colours. I used craft

bravo burgundy and black with greenhouse

garden and flight of the butterfly stamps.

This is one of those really awkward

male cards. It's for my baby brother in

a couple of weeks so here's hoping he

doesn't suddenly discover my blog.

I've used up a few scraps which is always

a bonus. I love the truck for some reason.

I used Night of Navy, Old Olive and Really

Rust. Not my favourite colours but i don't

think my brother would be impressed with

pinks and purples.

Right this was a tough one. Its for my niece.

Very girlie loves pink and that sort of thing

but very cheeky and loveable with it. Can see

her being a real heart breaker when she

grows up. I tried to mix the cheeky monkey's

with a girlie feel. Not sure it has worked but

I think she will love it anyway.

Hello again

Ok after listening to a friend complaining

about the lack of choice for cards with 90 on

i decided to have a play. Inspiration left home

some time ago and i was getting worried. So

anyway here is the finished attempt which i'm

rather pleased with having struggled so long

for ideas (being able to find the camera helps

as well).

No. 1
No. 2
No. 3

Ok not my best atempt at photo's but i think they work

well enough to get the idea.

So either I have too much time on my hands or the

housework is suffering. Ok i'll do the housework tomorrow

i promise just don't turn the lights up. So can you tell i've

had fun then. Normally i struggle for any inspiration but

it just keeps a coming at the mo. So I used white, pretty

in pink, barley banana, choc chip and close to cocoa.

Wasn't too sure about the colours at first but not too bad

if i say so myself. Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Ok so now I'm getting carried away.

2 cards in 1 week what is the world

coming to. So this started life as a

Birthday card then a Mothers day

card and now I'm thinking Easter

card. Now how versatile is that.

Funky Friday 48

OK this is a quick post having been struck

down with the monthly blues. I really like

this one and feel quite proud but not sure

how it happened as it is nothing like what

I was trying for. I have used up lots of bits

from a previous project so couldn't tell you

what they are. I think this will be my mother

in laws Mother's day card as think she will

appreciate the design and colours. (Or is she

just too polite to tell me otherwise?). Hope

to post some more before the end of the

week as i feel quite inspired now.

Funky Friday 46

Okay so after a couple of hectic weeks I'm trying

to get back to my crafting. I havn't attempted the

scrapbooking yet so thought i would give it a go.

I have stuck this in my stampin journal so lets

hope this encourages me to keep trying. The

picture is stuck onto some forever friends paper

and i used pink buttons out of the soft subtle group.

I also used a little bit of of pretty in pink taffeta

ribbon. Then stuck to a piece of black card and put

in my journal. Hope you enjoy.

Funky Friday 43

So here we go. Ickle baby Bro has just got

his first job and i need to make a card for

him and do the Funky Friday challenge as

well. Easy Peasy.

Yeah OK its for a boy who can't make up

his mind if he is EMO, Goth or some other

weird concoction (and studying to be a

doctor?).

Maybe not so easy after all. So here is the

finished attempt.I have used real red card

on white. Some Chinese style background

paper from a project never started black

ink black and white gingham ribbon

that i recycled from another card oval

Punch's and basic phrases. oh and a couple

of red brad's. Please forgive the photography

I will get better at it I'm sure.

Funky Friday 42

OK so after lots of encouragement (spelt nagging)

from my good friend Abi I now have something

that looks like a blog.

So here goes. I tried several times (honest) to

capture the true colours but couldn't quite

manage it so you will have to trust me. These

colours are a light and dark blue with white

craft ink and white ribbon. Honest. Its been a

very long day and I'm running out of time to

get this posted.

I used The snowflake spot and Forest friends

stamp sets.

Thanks for looking and please don't laugh too

loud.
