For the sketch I’ve gone with one from Freshly Made Sketches – #204 and for my colour combo I’ve used ColorQ – #308 – although I have changed a few of… Read More »
Hi there Who loves ice cream and what is your favourite flavour? Mine is Rum and Raisin from Ollies Ice Cream Parlour in Royal Oak. With summer just around the corner there will be a few evening walks in this direction! My ice cream below is a triple scoop – mint, strawberry and chocolate –… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve had a good weekend – ours was very productive. A couple of months ago Mercury Energy had a promotion where you could choose a date and you wouldn’t be charged power for the whole day:) So we booked in the 1st of August and made the most of it –… Read More »
Hi there I hoped you enjoyed yesterday’s card. When a new catalogue comes out we often end up forgetting stamp sets that have ‘carried over’ from the previous catalogue so I decided to use a ‘carry over’ stamp for my second card. I haven’t used Six-Sided Sampler as much as I thought I would so… Read More »

In amongst all this social butterflying… Read More »

Hi there I’m coming to you today from Roche Percee Beach in New Caledonia :). Phil and I are on holiday and today we are celebrating our birthday 🙂 That’s right – we share the same birthday (just different years) – how cool is that. So we decided to spend this years birthdays in sunny… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve all had a good weekend. We have our inorganic collection happening in a couple of weeks so yesterday Phil and I did a clean out in preparation. Our storage area looks way tidier than it did at the beginning of the day 🙂 Todays post should have been done months… Read More »
Hi there Here are two more cards I’ve made recently in the same style as yesterdays post. This paper is so cool I decided to use the ‘cut out’ bit for the inside of the card. Julia also showed us how to make the same style but in a landscape orientation – how cool is… Read More »
Hi there Today is my Dad’s 82nd birthday – happy birthday to the best dad in the world 🙂 He (and Mum) are always there for us in so many ways – it’s hard to put into words the gratitude and love we have for them. We celebrated Dad’s birthday on Friday night and this… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve all had a good weekend. The weather yesterday didn’t start out that great – cold and wet but today has been like summer and 22 degrees :). Back in February my friend celebrated her 60th birthday – I’m sure she’s pulling our leg as she doesn’t look 60. We had… Read More »
Hi there It’s funny – if you hold on to things long enough they will come back into fashion. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back! Over the weekend I helped my neighbour make TMNT birthday invites for Mr 5 – he’s really into them. Then I needed to make a card for a friends four… Read More »
