ANOTHER GOLDEN WEDDING

Well we had another golden wedding to go to on Sun, this was my late mum's goddaughters celebration, I was a bridesmaid for them. They live down south, but decided to hold it in Pudsey, where Brenda is originally from, this was good for me,as my brothers don't live locally, and they both came with their wives, and we had a really good day. The last time we were all together was mum's funeral 4 years ago,so it was good to all meet up again,for  this celebration.
Here is the card I made for them, and because of all the flowers, I also made a box for it

This morning we have just received an invite for another golden wedding (Chas' cousen) in Sept, so will have to get my thinking cap on, for another card. Today is a grandchild free day, we looked after them yesterday and we have them tomorrow, so I am going to get some cards made today. Yesterday we decorated wooden spoons,and dressed them up and we made pizza for lunch. Tomorrow we are having a trip to the Range, so could be an expensive day. Anyway I won't get cards made while i,m on here, so bye for now

Golden Wedding

We are going out to dinner tonight to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of Chas' brother and sister-in-law, and here is the card I have made for them.I hope they like it

 The image is from my FF cd , all the wording is computer generated, the mirri board is gold, it doesn't show very well, and the flowers are from wildorchid, and I used my heart nesties for the first time,and I love them.
Well I must get off this computer, and go get ready, hope it's stopped raining, Irene xx

LONG TIME NO SEE

Well I have been neglecting my blog, wasn't feeling too good last week and trying to catch up on some cards

 I made this card for my grandaughter Megan, it's for her teacher

The next 2 cards are for grandaughter Freya, 1 for her childminder, and the other for all the staff at her playgroup. They were thrilled to bits with them, so well worth the effort

Tomorrow  the playgroup are having a TEDDY BEAR'S PICNIC in the woods,and I am going with Freya,so hope the weather stays fine,it's been a bit of a mixed bag this last week. So if I survive tomorrow i'll be back ,maybe with some pictures

CARD FOR A DOCRAFT FRIEND

Hi thought I'd just pop on and upload a card, while tea is cooking. This is July's friendship card, for the docraft forum.

The image is LOTV  kindly sent to me by Elaine( Emisnanny on docrafts) I have used my copics to colour it. The backing papers are Kanban, and I think the sentiment was a free stamp with a magazine I have also uses ,lace, ribbon, card candy and flowers from my stash. Hope she likes it, I will soon know as I am posting it tomorrow. Bye for now Irene xx

A few cards

Here are a few cards I have made over the last week, the one above is a friendship card for another docrafter. I have used my favourite tilda of the moment, coloured her with copics, for the border I used a MS  round the page punch, and the flowers are a gift from a friend. The 2nd card is for the Tilda challenge, again on docrafts, hosted by Jennie

I have had the handmade backing paper for quite a while, I think it was from WHS, same Tilda, again coloured with copics, and I used circle nesties and circle nellie snellen dies, flowers from wildorchid crafts and lace and ribbon from stash

                                                                
Finally the 3rd card is for the Gorguss Girl challenge, again on Docrafts, and I am hosting this challenge
 

,The challenge was for the card to be in shades of 1 colour plus white and to have some glitter on it. I used another MS punch, the flowers, which I have added glitter to are again from wildorchid crafts,and I also added some sparkle to her boots. Oh and she was also

 coloured with copics  
 Well I don't think I will get much crafting done next week, as this gorgeous little fellow         
 

and his mum (daddy has to work)are coming to stay for a few days, we haven't seen him since the 1st may, as he lives in Birmingham, so we are looking forward to spending time

with him, so bye for now Irene xx                                                                                                                                 

Well it's another gorgeous day today, a bit too warm for me,so i'm in my craft room,it's lovely and cool. I always keep the blind down,to stop all my stash from fading in the sun, and if i'm honest,so the window cleaner doesn't see the mess!! Hubby is downstairs shouting at the telly,yes he's watching the football. Anyway here's a card I made yesterday,it's for a friend on the docrafts forum,her sister is very poorly,and I just wanted to let her know I am thinking of her

I can't tell you what the stamp is,as the image was sent to me by a kind docrafter and I have coloured it with copics.


Thanks for stopping by,and any comments are much appreciated,Irene xx



                                                           

Here are 2 cards,1 for my sons birthday,and the other for my daughter in law's birthday,yes they share the same birthday,but 2 years apart. I always feel that my male cards are missing something,probably because I cant use ribbons,lace and flowers
