What a beautiful day!!!!!!!!

Another gorgeous day - how lucky are we getting all this sunshine.  Been at my Dad's today with my daughter to help do some cleaning for him, it was lovely to catch up and have a cuppa together.  It's lovely going back to the farm - home from home.... Busy day, but I still had time to finish the card I'd started last night.

This a sketch for the Sugar Nellie Challenge blog that you have to follow.
THEME – PURPLE & GREEN.







I used the two Sugar Nellie stamps I had luckily won
from them a couple of months ago, cute stamps-'Ella's umbrella & Splish Splash' so I just had to get them them out and get colouring with my promarkers and sakura pens.I also used glitter for the splashes and the puddle, purple ink blended onto a scalloped frame,Forever friends paper pack, mirror board,card, gems and candy.  I am entering it in the following challenges:
The Sugar Bowl -Sketch,theme-purple&green.
Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog-April showers.

Zing into Spring with Get Funky challenge

Back again, I'm on a roll - won't last.......At the Get Funky challenge they are following  the theme - zing into spring, so lots of bright  spring colours so I thought I'd have a go and make a word book for it as well as have a card organized for my daughter's friend's birthday in May - organized for once.

I used Funky Word book Cd-rom, book rings, bird&sentiment - my minds eye sticker, flowers-polka doodles, ribbons, gems, craftwork card candy, LOTV cute square, hunkydory die-cut sentiment and a little paper frame from my stash. I really had fun putting it together and looking for embellishments.
Hope you like it

Two cards made this week!

Another beautiful day so the washer is working overtime and one load is already on the washing line - such a busy bee. Here is a card I made in the week for a friend's birthday, it's quite a different style for me - it took me a while to decide what I wanted to use on it, there was something not quite right until I tried a big flower with the sentiment and I was happy with it.

Papers - Earth love-Cosmo Cricket
Paper punched ribbon, green ribbon,
creatables die cut shapeon green card.
Prima blue flower
Hunkydory sentiment.

Here's another card that I made for my nephew's 7th birthday.
LOTV cute square, blue and black card stock, spotted papers-freebie old creative cardmaking magazine, blue buttons and blue ribbon. The sentiment is a digi stamp from My Craft Studio and I personalised it.

Have a lovely Sunday.Relaxing day crafting I feel.  Had family over both Friday and Saturday night for tea so tonight it's just us.Took a little too much on I think.Had my appointment at the hospital on Friday morning to see if there is anything they can do for my M.E, waited over a year for an appointment so was a little anxious having to go over everything that's been going on for the last 13 years.Good news though it's definately Chronic fatigue syndrome(M.E), they're going to discuss my case and offer me some therapy - really pleased.Enough of my babbling, need to get the washing out.
Take care.
