Fun Friday – Everyday Hero

Heroes or Heroines?  Well, for this week’s Fun Friday I chose a Heroine, although the stamp set says Everyday Hero in the generic sense – my hero is my Mum because my late Dad left this mortal coil way back in 2009.  An unsung heroine, she sacrificed much to give us girls the opportunities she […]

Custom Tee – Bride to Be

As promised on Sunday, a more detailed look at the Custom Tee Bundle.  This set tickled me pink because it’s got the “happy stamper” and a “Bride-to-be| sentiment in it.  I don’t know many people who are getting hitched as I’m not exactly in my first flush of youth and my peer group are already […]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  Please spare a thought too for those who have lost their partners and are alone.  If you do know someone who is in this predicament, do something nice – call to just say hello and reach out. This year hubby and I mutually agreed that it would be a chocolate free […]

OUCH !!! and sharing a card

Yesterday while clearing up after a class, I dropped one of the larger punches from a great height on my toe and the shock of the punch colliding with my toe turned the air quite blue!   It split my toe nail and it’s a lovely shade of red, blue and purple today and needless […]

Sealed with Love – Explosion card

I’m staying with the Valentine theme this Fun Friday because……shock….horror…….February 14th is in four days time and this really cute set will probably not see the light of day till next year! Seems like yesterday when we were ringing in the New Year!  Wait, there’s only ONE stamp that’s specifically relates to Valentine’s Day, so […]

Sealed with Love Suite and “man-ish” Valentine card

It’s always a conundrum each year – how to do a masculine non-hearts and flowers type Valentine’s card and to veer away from a black and red combo!  I took the inspiration from the Spring/Summer catalogue – they nailed it with pool party and real red – so why change it if it’s perfection personified? […]

Delicate Details

Sunshine forecast for this weekend and what a difference it makes when the sun shines!  We went to see our son yesterday and took him and his family out for a belated birthday lunch.  So lovely spending time with the family.  When they fly the nest – work,  life and the distance that divides us […]

Cool Treats Bundle – Joy Fold Card

This Friday’s Fun project is a rather large square “Joy Fold” card.  I’ve made rectangular ones before but thought it would be cool to try my hand at a square one.  It struck me that Watermelon Wonder will be retiring at the end of May as this is one of the 2015-17 In Colors.  Consequently […]
