Happy New Year

It seems hard to believe 2011 is almost gone, but what a year, our son married his wonderful wife and our daughter has announced she's expecting her 1st baby next June, what more could we want than our family to be happy and luckily healthy. Here's wishing you all a happy, healthy and creative 2012.  To start you off here is a new backing sheet for you.  As usual its designed for A4 portrait. 

Just around the corner

How are you all doing with your Christmas preparations?  Gifts wrapped, food bought etc if you are then well done, Ive still got the fresh food to get.
I love reading Snowcatchers blog and she posted a wonderful Christmas story that I think you'll all enjoy so do pop over and have a read.    Here is the link for Just around the corner  enjoy.

Birthday cake

Sorry for such a gap in posting, I've been busy with custom orders and of course Christmas preparations.  I celebrated my Birthday a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful day.  I was very spoilt at lunch time while I was at my lovely daughter in laws.  Her Mum ( now a dear friend of mine) made a wonderful birthday cake.  As you can it was very popular with my lovely grandaughter! lol and we both got in a lovely mess eating our cake! lol

Bonfire night

Happy weekend everyone, here are a couple of photos from las Saturdays bonfire night at my son and daughte in laws.  We had a great evening with 4 generations of one family all enjoying the fireworks and as you can see sparklers.   The second photo shows the toffee apples that DIL made for us all, she had also made some wonderful pumpkin soup and homemade bread along with other delights. 

Take care all of you

Wine bottle tag

Andrea Walford has started a new challenge, called Makeover Monday and I thought you might like to see my take on it. 

The joy of this challenge is using things from your stash.  The card stock I've had for years! so I'm not sure where I bought it! lol  The striped paper is from a pack which is I think from Docrafts but not certain.  I used the SU punch for the envelope and label and Xcut christmas tree punch.  I added the envelope to a strip of gun metal colour metallic card stock and added 2 silver peeloff christmas trees.
To make the tag top I used a photo corner punch and cut the corner to the first punch line, hope that makes sense! lol 

Happy Halloween everyone.

Wishing you all a spooktacular Halloween, thought you might like to see our wonderful trick or treating grandaughter.

Surprising Nana & Grandad!

Ready for yesterdays party.

S on S Xmas toppers

Hi everyone, at last I've been able to make a sheet up for you for sheets on saturday(S on S).  I hope this comes in handy for all your Christmas cards.  As you can see I've included 2 of each design.  The boot is for a quick card with just the 'fur' to layer which would look nice with glitter on.  The frame has 2 extra  layers to give more dimension.

 Wishing you all a happy and peaceful weekend.
