Another Sunday !

I can't quite believe how quickly the weeks go by but here we are at the beginning of another new week.

Here's the finished Hogwarts LO of Jack.The photo was taken......wait for it...the Christmas before last !




It's just started spitting with rain here just as I was prepared to go out and cut the lawns....no that isn't an excuse, it really is raining. Hopefully it will stop soon as I really must get them cut before they get too long again and make it twice the job as I found out a couple of weeks ago.

Friday Sketchers

Thought I would pop over and see what their sketch was like today. I don't enter my cards for the challenge though but if you would like to have a go pop over to their blog here
The image was sent to me from my friend Tracy some time ago and although I coloured it in at the time I hadn't got round to making a card with it.



I made another patriotic father's day card last night, this time using an image that was on a set of stamps from Papermania and another random birthday card using up some odd bits of pp I had left over......better than putting them in the bin I say !





Back to some more crafting now. I still need to bag a couple of dozen cards up before tomorrow morning, ready for the school fayre in the afternoon.So it might be a better idea if I did those first I think !


I found these chipboard teachers bits and the tag while I was looking for something entirly different. Can't even remember when or where I got them from to be honest but might as well put them to good use, so another teacher thank you card.

Patriotic Father's Day

Well I do hope that England will win a week tomorrow otherwise some of the football mad fathers out there are not going to have a very good day on the Sunday. Not that I like football one bit and to be honest I shall be glad when it's over but I do inderstand how people can be carried away with something that they enjoy. Having said that, I really do hope England will do well, better still win the World Cup. I remember the celebrations when the won it in 1966 well !!!

So here's a patriotic father's day card I made this afternoon together with some Wedding Cards that I forgot to upload yesterday..enjoy !

A variety of Cards

A lot of Images !!!
I've got another Craft Fayre coming up on Saturday, this time at my grand-daughters school. Looking through the stock at the last fayre I noticed that I was getting a little low on Wedding/Anniversary cards, so here are a few I've been making this week.
Sorry for the bad photography, I just quickly picked up my point & shoot Fuji and it doesn't seem to be focusing properly. Must check out the settings as I lent it to my daughter a while back and it seemed fine when I gave it to her !!!





I lifted this one from one that was featured on Scrapbook Etc site recently, quite quirky I think !

This one was made using my new Martha Stewart wide Trellis Border Punch that my daughter brought back from the US for me last week. I can see me using this punch quite a lot, it's lovely !



The inspiration for this card came from one that Mystik Nat on UKS did a while ago. Here's a link to her blog, you'll have to scroll through a bit to find it but there's some fab cards along the way !

here



Made with a cuttlebug embossing folder and an x cut dimentional butterfly punch. Love the punch but it's got it's disadvantages, you can only use it one way as the butterfly is positioned sideways on it. I really wanted them to go along the bottom but they would be flying on their sides if I did that !!



That's it for today, hope you enjoy looking and thank you if you're inclined to leave a comment, I do appreciate them.
