Bird on a Branch


What a wonderful week i have had,firstly i won a competition then my daughter got her job she was hoping to get.I got full funding for my NVQ3 course and there were 2 other bits of good news i received.I can't tell you at the moment,so look out for the future announcement.I also received some lovely flowers from a  parent to say thank you for clearing up after their son was sick everywhere,what a lovely gesture.I made this card using the Bird on a Branch stamp set and yo yo yellow ink and card stock and basic black card stock.I am going out for a meal tonight to celebrate all our good news.

Watercolour

Look what i made at my class last night.I must say I'm quiet impressed.After last weeks class my heart wasn't really in going but i thoroughly enjoyed my self and very pleased with the results.The second watercolour i did had something missing so when i got home i added the bird from the stamp set Bird on a Branch.My partner doesn't believe me that i made them.

Easter workshop


I have finally received photos of the Easter Workshop i ran.It was a lovely day i received very good feedback EXCELLENT from everyone who attended.One of these little boys was counting down 3 weeks before, which is a long time when you are this age.He also would like me to go for a sleepover at his house.After such a hectic week the thought of chilling out playing Dinosaurs all day could be appealing.

So Swirly


This is my card i made for the Shoe Box Swap.I have used the So Swirly wheel,pixie Pink ink and Flight of the Butterfly stamp set.I also used this design for thank you cards for Shirley's day centre and care home.I had a lovely evening with a wonderful group of ladies and made some wonderful cards as you can see.

Book Mark

What a busy week so far,this is what we made at my after school craft club on Monday.I have used the lovely monkey from the stamp set Fox and Friends.After club i then went to an evening class to make a Waterfall card.On Tuesday i had a facial by my daughters friend to help her pass her assessments.It was lovely.I then had a crafting evening with a lovely lady and as a very good friend of mine would say we had a 'Stitch and Bitch'.It's amazing how much better you feel afterwards.Yesterday was our monthly Stampin Up team meeting so another very late night.This month was a  shoe box swap.A shoe box swap is where we each make a card and then supply all the materials for everyone to make it.It was a lovely evening and great fun,i made some lovely cards.I will post them tomorrow,the camera has a flat battery. Thank you Elaine for making me laugh.

spinner card

This is the spinner card i made in Amanda's Mini Madness class.We used the Vintage Vogue stamp set.I thought a spinner card was hard to make,but it wasn't.I will definitely be making more.Today i was a guinea pig for my daughters beauty course.She needs Lot's of volunteers to get her treatments marked off. I had eyebrows reshaped and tinted and underarm waxing.I must say it wasn't as painful as i expected,i thought i would be walking out of the College with my arms outstretched.Next is a Pedicure,Eyelash Perming,Facial and Makeup.I have declined the Bikini waxing.

Remembrance Book

This is a Remembrance book i have made for the funeral this coming week.As Shirley's favourite colour was purple and lilac,  i was asked to make something in these colours,i even managed to use a stamp from the Vintage Vogue stamp set.The book is from Stampin Up- On Board Journal.I must say a big thankyou to Amanda who came to my rescue and sent it to me.And a BIG BIG thankyou to my wonderful brother who has finished decorating my hallway/stairs and landing.It looks brilliant.
