Like Sunshine On Fairy Wings ......

Where has the time gone :| since I last blogged?  I've been spending lots of time in the garden and catching up with jobs indoors that we started when we moved in 2 years ago.  

I made this card following a sketch ... but it's been that long since I made it, I can't remember which one I used :D

Caring Thoughts .... Deconstructed Sketch No.49

I thought it was about time I showed this card off.  Its one I made about 3 weeks ago and not had chance to post :| until now.  So whilst I'm being lazy and lying in  with my lappy, I thought it was the ideal time to post :D

I seem to be making a lot of sympathy cards just lately, this being the second one and I still have a third to show yet!  I followed the fab sketch from Deconstructed Sketch ....


... I turned the sketch 90 degrees ...


...  using Sugar Nellie, Melissa ..


Although you can't see, I did use her again on the inside with this verse ...

Wrapping You In An Angel Hug .... Sketch Saturday Week #207

This is my first week of once again being a Sketch Saturday Challenger =D>.  

DesiSmileys.comI've had another busy week finishing Mum's kitchen whilst she's on holiday.  This time replacing all her worktops and repainting the kickboards and cupboard handles.  It does look lovely even though I say so myself.  Once again I was helped by DN and Paula, with Andy doing the odd bit of siliconing round the work surface.  Here's hoping Mum doesn't plan another holiday anytime soon :|.

This weeks fab sketch ...


and my card made for my daughters friend who has just lost her O:)Mummy to cancer...


I used Mo Manning's "Angel with Puppy"


... close up and naked on the inside with a cute verse ...

Just Chicken In On You .... Sketch Saturday Challenge #206

I have decided to step down from my DT position at Sketch Saturday :( ... its not a decision that was made lightly, but one that I have thought long and hard about for the past few months.

As you know O:)Dad died last November and left a gaping hole in our lives.  His leaving and lack of help from siblings has meant that my DN (niece) and I have had to take on some of the day-to-day running of Mum's home, maintenance and the gardening :|.  Obviously, something has had to give and that something is my crafting time .... of which I only now manage a couple of hours whilst Sunday lunch cooks!  

Stepping down means that I can craft without pressure whenever I have the time and if I don't have time that's OK too :)

This weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge is hosted Susie and sponsored by the fabulous 
 Kenny K Downloads  .... who are offering one lucky winner the choice of 5 digi stamps


.... the sketch to follow has been designed by Susie ...


.... here is what I did with it ....


... I used the fab Chickies by Mo Manning ....


.... up close and then naked on the inside with a cute little verse ....

Showers of Warm Wishes .... DP2 Challenge #133

"Anything Goes w/Mo Image"

I made this card a while back but just haven't had to time to show it until now.  This is a card that I did for my friend Debbie's 40th birthday.  :) We share the same birthday and have found so many similarities it's quite freaky.  


I used "Waiting For Rain" by Mo Manning


.... a close up of the image and I used her again on the inside with a cute little verse ....
