A few Christmas makes

Good morning everyone..

Looks like another beautiful day here in the midlands.

Think we are going to be having a nice calm day at home with a little visit to see my grandad.. Think we have worn ourselves out since the boys broke up from school.. :-)

For today's card share I have a few Chrismas cards I made. 

I used my LOTV stamps for these cards and coloured with my pencils..

Finished off with some stickles, glitter.

Used Christmas ribbons from crafty ribbons and some scraps of paper and card from my stash at the top.

Pink and cuddly

Hello everyone, I hope you've all had a good weekend..

Ours as flown by as usual. But at least the boys not back to school tomorrow so that's a bonus ;-)

We had a lovely day out at the park on Friday with Ronnie's friends,. The weather was wonderful but I managed to burn my back.. (Crazy really when I am forever putting sun cream on the boys, I never think to do myself haha) lesson learnt now!

We also had a drive out yesterday to a different park and had a lovely afternoon playing. So today as been a calm one at home catching up on housework and orders while hubby did the gardens and a few DIY jobs..  

Looking forward to another week ahead with my boys now.. Happy days !!

Sorry enough of me going on, I'll get into my card now lol

For today's card share I have used one of my old 'from me to you' stamps..

I love the tatty teddy range and they are great to colour. I've used polychromos this time.

The gorgeous DPs are from my new LOTV pad, mat and layered onto buff card stock from paper mill direct. I used the sentiment stamp from the from me to you pack. I embellished with ribbon, lace, punched flowers and pearls all from my stash.

Party Ted

Good afternoon everyone..

Hope you are all well..

On Tuesday I got a call from the school to collect the boys as the quick downpour had caused flooding in school. When I arrived to get them the drains were bursting 2 feet in the air and the fire brigade were there pumping the water away.. So the school was still closed yesterday and today it's closed for strike action. So me and my babas have been having a taster of what life will be like in a couple of weeks when they break up for the summer hols. It's great not having to watch the clock all day and spending time with my not so little babies lol..

The sun as appeared now too - HAPPY days..

Right sorry enough of me waffling on, time to share my card  and today I have another one of the cute Tatty Teddy Bears

I've coloured this cutie with my pencils. The pretty papers are from LOTV (I'm on my second pad lol)

The gingham ribbons are from my stash that I picked up at a local warehouse..

Now the sentiment is a penny black stamp and it is straight on the card, I've no idea why it looks wonky in ten picture lol
