Girly Weekend or on my own?!

So John and Lewis are off to Silverstone in the morning for the weekend,

 leaving Eleanor and I at home. 

Does this mean that we will shop, watch movies and chillax together OR is it not cool for a nearly 13 year old to spend the weekend with her Mum......yes you guessed she has 'other' things to do!

I may grab the evenings with her if I'm lucky :0/

For today's card I have used a new image from Ladybug Crafts Ink Bucket of Blooms - absolutely gorgeous image to colour.

Whatever your plans are for the weekend - have a lovely time.

Nothing lasts forever.....

I love this image from Stampin Bella and more so I love the sentiment....

I sent it to John yesterday for our wedding anniversary - cute isn't it.

I paper pieced the umbrella and added a little bit of bling

Glad I'm not one of the teachers on that coach !!!

Today's card was an order - I used LCI Killer Heels Rose - I think out of this

 particular release this was my favourite.....

Whatever your plans are today hope you have a lovely one...

Totally Ladybug Tuesday CAS Challenge Reminder

Decorations are down, house is spick and span, Lewis and Eleanor back in school - now what 

was all the stress about !!!!

Tough week this week - it's my birthday tomorrow and also the second anniversary of the passing of Brenda, my wonderful, wonderful MIL - I am being told not to let it spoil my day as that would not be what Brenda would want but although I agree it still isn't easy - maybe as years go by it will get easier :0(

My card today is for a friend who moved over Christmas - into a beautiful barn conversion with the most stunning views.

My image is 'Home Tweet Home' and an image I love using for new home cards.

Do you like my paper tape ?? - it was a gift from my Ladybug Secret Santa - I was truly spoiled with my box of goodies.

Thank you for stopping by.

Keep it Clean and Simple Reminder

Hi all...

Sorry for my absence from blog land - and although have made lots of cards have had very little time to blog.

I can honestly say I only have Eleanor's gifts to wrap and then Christmas can commence.

Hope all your preparations are coming to a close and that you are now ready to enjoy !!

Today's card is for a very, very special friend - who is most certainly one of lifes gorgeous people - inside and out. It was her birthday last week and she loved my card.

I simply used Bucket of Roses Delight and matted it on some Anna Maria designs card.

Thank you for stopping by and have a stressless couple of days

Hugs
