Happy 21st Hannah

What a beautiful day we have had today - the sun was shining very cold but gorgeous.

I'm suffering with Bronchitis again - think it's due to walking in the damp last week 

and it's got on my chest :0(

Lewis and Eleanor were off school yesterday, a teacher's inset day, so we took them into Manchester watched the new Sandra Bullock movie 'Gravity' at the iMax in 3D - it's the closest I'm ever going to get to going into space - crikey I felt like we were there !!!

We went out for dinner and then had a mooch round the Christmas markets - it was a lovely day and made me realise how much I'd enjoy a 3 day weekend every week !!!

Okay - onto my card - yet a new embossing folder.....and some stunnalicious Kanban glitter card - did I tell you how stunning it is......gorgeous.

Winestool Nikki looks beautiful in green - love it !!

Thank you so much for stopping by.....

Snow Penguin

Today's card is one of my first batch of Christmas orders and you won't believe this lady has already started wrapping her presents - how wrong is that ??

The image is a Digistamp Boutique one and is so cute and easy to colour.

I embossed the whole piece of card with a Sizzix embossing folder and flittered the snow and snowflakes.

One today.....

Good Evening All !!

Today I went out to lunch with a couple of girlfriends - we were deciding whether we book a lunch for Christmas or do something completely different - in the end we have decided to book a treatment each at a local beauticians which is located in a renovated farm and you get home made cakes, cups of tea etc all served in vintage crockery - it's just so cute and now have something to look forward to :0)

My card today was a request for a friend - I used Baby Rosie from Digistamp Boutique.

Morning everyone....

 

Had a busy day yesterday - got up early and caught the train to London for a girlie treat - Eleanor and I went with Anne and Isabelle, my friend and her daughter. We went on the train - shopped until we dropped - had lunch at Covent Gardens - shopped again and then caught the train home.....it was fabulicious !!

 

Today is the third week at Ladybugcraftsink

'Colour Challenge'

 

I am slowly running out of papers that match this colour combination -  today I have used another Stampin' Up paper and guess what - coloured Billie Bunting in blue !!!

 

 

Cute isn't he ???

It will be her birthday this month so I made her a card to take home with her.......

How gorgeous is this digital stamp - Martini Nikki

it reminds me of Jo so much.....
