Balloon #HB

Love this set Balloon Bash,

great for men, kids, anyone really,

and it makes a quick modern happy card.

I refuse to buy a card, so needs must,

thank goodness for Stampin' Up!,

colour coordination and super stamps, YAY!

Wonderful Man

Was a bit time challenged for his lordship's card,

so I took my fave sentiment, hung a swing from it,

grew a tree with hearts, propped a bicycle against the trunk,

sowed some grass, and the sun came out!

Added this on the inside

(photo is wonky)

A quick* card made with love :) <3

*by quick I mean, it only took a couple of hours,

and this was the second attempt.....

I know you all know what I mean!

New new home

I know you've seen one similar,

but this one's different honest!

Another new neighbour in the lane,

lots of changes this year in more ways than one.

I used tempting turquoise on this one,

and I have re-discovered it and fallen in love again.

SU do have some gorgeous blues!

Couldn't resist that heart over the chimney again :)

Now, I know you trust me really, (lol)

but to save you looking back, here's the one I did earlier!

'Happy' whatever it is you are doing!

July Rudolph

Whatever life throws at me, I am determined not to miss

my fave challenge, Rudolph Day,

so there!

Managed to squeeze out this card,

that started out completely differently,

(know that feeling?!),

so after much snipping and snarling,

yay!, another one in the stash!

Do go visit some of the others if you can.

Just saw a reminder about the Snippets Playground too,

so .....see you on the swings, I neeeeeed a play!

Have a good week,
take care,
see you soon

My Craft Room

I thought I'd show you some recent improvements in my crafty zone

Some additional units from Ikea, means I can sort out my stamp sets

(work in progress!)

It's open plan, so I'm hoping to keep it neat on the other side too!

Hanging above my desk is the first ever gift 'voucher'

lovingly embroidered by Vanessa at Hoop, Tenterden.

When she first opened I was the very lucky recipient of the very first one she made!

Two desk organisers from Ikea house my ever expanding Punch collection!

I don't think it will EVER be this tidy again!

Have a good week

Wise Owl

Just had to share this amazing card by Jan Twinks

It's an absolute masterpiece, such detail,

and it literally glows.

Do pay her blog a visit, you will just love her style,

everyone does!

She manages to capture elegance, simplicity and bling all at the same time!
