Mothers Day Triple Easel Card...

Hi Folks,

Well its the weekend once again and here in the UK the clocks change so its gonna be summer!!! Take the hint weather!!!

Today Im sharing my Mums Mothers Day card. The last few years I have made something with the scan n cut but I went old school this year and have made an easel card with Hunkydory papers and card.

She loves peony's so thought this would be brilliant for her. 

I have a few growing in the garden but they are deep red and not this pretty pink shade. Its a shame as the first blast of wind and the petals fall from them.

Morning Everyone,

Its been such a cold week here on the East Coast of Scotland. Back to winter I think. Its made my fibro flare up so its been a week of trying to stay as cosy as I can!!! 

Ive made this christmas card and now need to start on the Mothers Day makes and easter cards. 

I have rummaged in the craft room and found some old stamps that I haven't used for ages. Decided to get the use out of them. No pint in them just hiding in the cupboard. The main image stamp is so old that its now gone a bit sticky.

Hi Everyone, 

I hope you have had a good weekend. I've tried to relax a wee bit and have made this birthday card to send off tomorrow for my friend Sues birthday.

Its been quite nice weather here but it feels a bit cooler tonight. Meant to change again and be a colder week. Booo. Even have snow forecast for the weekend. Typical as Ive the doggy booked in at a dog park to play for his 3rd birthday!!! Back to winter woolies for it!! 

 It was quite difficult taking these pics getting the light correct with the foiling.

Cuddies on a card....

Hi Folks,

Welcome to my wee bit of blogland.  Im back again!!!! Im doing well so far with the makes for Christmas. 

Here on the east coast of Scotland we call horses cuddies. Although looking online other places say its donkeys. Hence the Cuddies on a card. Funny how different places have different names for things. 

I found lots of super Hunkydory Card sets online and thought I would play with them this year too. I know exactly who this card will be going to. I get a card with horse on it every year from her.
