Hi - Jonas arrived, Lewis' French exchange student and he is lovely.

I was a complete stress head before he arrived but why do we do it to ourselves ?

Anyway onto my card - I have used a gorgeous image 

from All Dressed Up and put together another CAS card....and to enter into the 

challenge I added a couple of  buttons !!

Happy Birthday Anne

Happy Sunday everyone !!

Today is my BFF's birthday but I won't be with her to celebrate - hope she has a great day.

The image is from Pink Petticoat - and although you can't see IRL it's very glitzy but my WOS pen hasn't shown up in the photograph :0(

Now that we are all up to our ears in Turkey and Mince Pies I hope you have all had time to think about your New Year Resolutions......

Digistamp Nativity.

Happy Sunday !!

We had a lovely wander around our local Christmas market today ~ 'it's beginning to feel alot like Christmas'

Today's card is for a friend who lives in California and her parents live here in UK - she always sends me a scan of her greeting which I print and put inside and 

she doesn't need to worry about the card being late and any excessive postal charges....excellent idea ;0)

I have used a Digi-stamp Boutique image and Anna Marie Designs dotty card - coloured in with Pro-markers and 'sparkled' with my Wink of Stella pens which you can't really see in the photo.

Thank you for stopping by......

Hugs

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.....

Hugs

For you......

I was asked to make a card by the daughter of the lady who we

 bought our two Burmese cats from and she wanted a cute cat on it...

..don't think I could get much cuter than this image from Digistamp Boutique.

The lilac and lemon DP are perfect for this card and Anne-Marie was  

delighted with the card for her Mum.

I'd like to enter the following challenges :

MAWTT - Furry Friends

The Paper Shelter - For Someone Special

Whimsey Stamps - Anything Goes
