Lazy Days!

Made this card yesterday, using my new lazy days stamp. Wouldn't it be great to be able to spend lovely, lazy days like this Hedgie?! No chance...what with work, shopping, laundry, gardening, kids etc....Oh well!
I used my Penny Black Lazy Days stamp, the spotty paper is from the Papermania retro stack, bazzill card, Hero Arts blooms and a pink petticoat greeting.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Beautiful Flowers

Look what the owner of the shop sent me, aren't they beautiful?





I have been full of cold this week and really struggled at the shop but there was noone else to cover my hours so she sent me these to say Get Well and also as a Thank You as I have done some extra hours and a bit of admin at home for her recently. Nice to know I'm appreciated!

Its my day off today and my last day to myself before half term next week but because of this stinking cold I haven't done anything much, just a bit of housework and the rest of the time drinking coffee, watching TV and blog hopping! I did attempt to make some cards but couldn't get motivated and gave up, I've got loads I need to make as well for family and friends birthday that are coming up. Maybe tonight I'll feel more up to it.

Right, just time for another cuppa before the school run!

Bit naughty!

Well, I've been a bit naughty, firstly because I have been neglecting my blog and secondly because I've bought new stash! Well, last week we were away on our holidays in Sussex staying on a caravan park which just happened to be about 40 minutes drive from The Glitter Pot. It would have been just rude not to go and visit when I was that close. I treated myself to a few new stamps and some gorgeous papers.

I've already stamped and coloured "Lazy Days", hopefully will get chance to make it into a card tomorrow.

Its gorgeous sunshine here today, I'm just hoping this good weather lasts for half term next week.

Kitty's Blog Candy

It's so good that Kitty is back blogging again, I find her cards such an inspiration. Anyway, she is having a great blog candy giveaway so go take a look if you haven't already! You can find her blog here

A few Cards...

...to share, at last! These are some cards I have made over the last few days. I have since made another one with the hat because I wasn't happy with my water colouring on this one, need to practice a bit more, I think.

The dress is stamped and paper pieced, background is embossed with my cuttlebug folder, velvet ribbon, stones and pink petticoat greeting to finish.
On the red dress, again its paper pieced and then just a simple red ribbon, very simple!
The lady in the hat is stamped and watercoloured, brad and papermania retro flowers paper, pink petticoat greeting.
Hope everyone has had a great Bank Holiday weekend!

Bank Holiday weekend

Hope everyone is having a lovely long weekend! Although I have been busy crafting lately I haven't been very good at blogging, despite my good intentions! I have taken photos of some cards I made yesterday but now the camera batteries are flat and I so I can't upload them. Will try later!

Have a good day!
