Good morning, hope those of you in the UK enjoyed your extra hour in bed. Not looking forward to this evening though, I hate the long dark evenings.

Thought I would share a couple of cards with you that I made for my daughter Justine. It was her Wedding Anniversary last Monday and her 40th birthday (OMG I feel old!) on Wednesday.

I love this cute image that I downloaded from Squigglefly. I coloured it using copics and the backing paper is from  DCWV  Glitter pad. The sentiment is also from Sqigglefly.

The lovely birdcage image is a stamp from Stella and Rose, Mabel "So Sweet" stamps by My Minds Eye. The paper is Bobunny Gabrielle Collection and it's yummy.

We are off out for a lovely family celebration meal this lunch time at The Mill in Alveley. There goes that diet again! Perhaps I'll start tomorrow : /

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Hugs

Being very sociable!

Just a quick post to say that although I haven't contributed this week (far too much socialising!) the Dt over at Try it on Tuesday have some fantastic creations to share with you for the challenge this week. It's Altered Art week and the theme is fabric. So please do check them out and if you'd like to join the challenge this week that would be great.

Sorry it's quick but I'm off down the the Vineyards again. You might think that I am an alcoholic from the number of times I'm down there but you'd be wrong it's the lovely craft shops and tea rooms that are the attraction. There I go socialising again and it's not doing the diet,some would say what diet,any good.

Bye for now

Take to the Sky

Well I had another lovely crafting weekend thanks to my lovely friend Jayne Nestorenko. We did some fabulous projects, ate some lovely grub and shared the company of some really lovely ladies, oh sorry Paul & Paul, and some lovely gents.

Well onto this weeks challenge at Try it on Tuesday. This week anything goes so you can choose to create anything that takes your fancy as long as you follow the theme of Take to the Sky.  I decided on a card this time and here it is.

I used a stamp from the Crafters Companion Love collection as a balloon and coloured it with Whisper pens. The background was created using a blending brush and a Big & Juicy pad.  I used the out of the box technique to cut out the nestie shape around the balloon. I like this technique, it's quite simple but very effective.

As always the DT had some great ideas this week so please do pop over and check them out.

Hope you have a good day and thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,

Pat xx
