Just for you

Good morning blog friends. Hope you are well today and the weather is being kinder to you than here. We very nearly had a nasty accident yesterday with our dog Molly. The stream had overflowed and has very fast running water, Molly isn't too good in water and as she tried to cross the bridge, the water was very deep and it almost took her in. The thought of it fills me with dread. Luckily she was with my brother and he got her home safe and sound.

 

Anyway that's enough waffling, onto today's card. I thought I would have a little break from the Christmas cards and make something different, so I went for a general 'Just for you' card. Which could be used as a get well card too.

 

 

I started with the image from Tatty Teddy and mounted it on to some pink dotty embossed card. I then cut this out with Spellbinders Labels 29.

 

 

I layered the image on to some co-ordinating papers from our stash and matted them with silver card.

 

 

I used an assortment of flowers for decorations and finished the card with the simple sentiment matted on to a piece of white open weave paper.

 

 

 

Hope you like it.

 

Thanks for stopping by again, see you soon.

Even more stash! AND a card!! [Image heavy]

Happy Wednesday! [or hump day as it's affectionately known]

The middle of the week and as far from the weekend as you can get.  Booooooo ;)

 

Last night I dragged this..................  

 

  .......into the craft room to unpack.  This is what came out of it!!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd actually forgotten I had some of this\0/

I think we should seriously consider whether we need to buy anything again this year!

 

So on to the card. 

I made this for my niece who will be 26 this weekend.

The bear came from a pre-printed set which I coloured in neutral shades with flex markers. 

The matt and layer is a hexagonal Spellbinder die. 

The sentiment stamp was a freebie from a magazine. 

The buttons and papers are from my stash.  You can't see very well but the rolled flowers are made with the pink floral paper. 

Hope you like it.

Lily is now 5!

Good morning.  Hope you've got a nice relaxing day planned.  We are visiting Joe today then going out for lunch with Dad for Father's Day.

I'll share his cards later in the week but today I thought you would like to see those I made for Lily's 5th birthday on Friday. 

She had a lovely day and really enjoyed riding her bike to school.  Her mum complained Lily would be 15 before they got there lol.

My cards use more of my Hunkydory stash.  I might actually use it all this year ;)  Although there is still a lot left so you never know...........

The first is a stepper card with birthday cakes.

And the second is two teddy bear toppers on a DL card.

Very simple cards are all I seem to have time and energy for lately.  This week has been particularly manic and it's not over yet.
