postpals

This is a card i have made my post pals Alice and Mollie.Alice has Hodgkin's disease. Post pals helps put a smile on  sick children's faces,by people sending cards,letters or gifts.I try to write monthly telling them what i have been up to and Alice loves dogs so i tell her about my Fergie (who is a rascal).I made the same card for  Mollie she has Fetal warfarin syndrome.Many celebrities support Post Pals,by sending a card you brighten up a sick child's life,please click on the link and have a look. For the card i used Stampin Up watercolours to colour the image.I love painting in watercolour.Another busy week ahead again.Monthly stampin club,class assembly and a farm trip.

Slider box

I  have been poorly for nearly a week  now.I made this Slider box while i was feeling sorry for myself.I have used the Vintage Vogue stamp set and perfect plum ink pad.This box is ideal for the Stampin Up love notes they  fit in the box nicely.

Post it holder

Wenesday night was my monthly Stampin Up meeting.We had a lovely evening and lots of laughs,which is just what i need after my leg waxing experience on Tuesday.Once again i was a guinea pig for my daughters waxing assessment.I don't think i can describe how much pain i experienced.Torture, is one of the words that came to mind,i had tears rolling down my face and wanted to scream out loud,but couldn't in case daughter failed,so when her tutor came in to assess i had to smile and say how much i was enjoying it and say i had tears from Hay fever.On the positive, daughter passed assessment and now no more waxing YIPPEE.I'm having an eyelash perm next week,that shouldn't be painful. This is one of the projects we made on Wednesday it's a post it holder.

Touch of Nature

I had a wonderful meal  last night.My mission this weekend was to design a card without using the stamp set Vintage Vogue or Fox and friends.This is what i can up with,i used the stamp set called Touch of Nature and very vanilla card stock and chocolate chip ink.I am very proud of myself,after visiting the Eden project i decided to have a  go and  grow my own veg.So far i have potatoes,cucumbers,tomatoes, mint and strawberries growing.I just had to show you my strawberries,i can't wait to eat them.I have planted French beans and carrots but they haven't  started to grow yet.

Cute cow

Today is my mums birthday and this is the card i made for her.Those of you who know my mum will know that this card is just perfect for her.It will be my birthday next Saturday, oh another year older and getting even closer to the big 50.

pairs game

I can't wait until Saturday my wonderful partner is taking me out for dinner,i don't know where he is taking me.Today i made this  pairs game that i saw in Making Gifts magazine.I chose a patterned paper on one side that can be used as a second game to piece the pieces together,next time i will chose an easier pattern it took me ages to match them up for the photo.On the other side i have stamped 2 of every thing for the pairs game.
I have a build up of wax in my right ear and that is what is causing me to keep falling over.I have to put olive oil in my ear for a week and if that doesn't work i will have to have the ear syringed.Yuk

Spinner card

This is the card we made at my monthly Stampin club. I have used the Whisper white craft stampin pad on chocolate chip card with theVintage vogue stamp set and the rocking and rolling technique for the flowers.I had a wonderful evening with a lovely group of ladies.
I have had 2 falls this week,i don't know how i did it,i just fell all i can tell you is i was sober at the time.
