Cupcake.

A new blog called 'The Next Level' have a fun challenge this week, check it out here! Your card can be any shape, size, color etc....... but your image should to be enclosed in the ribbon border frame. Above is my effort. My ribbon frame isn't great but I enjoyed trying it. My corners aren't as tidy as they should be so I stuck buttons on top to cover them lol! I love this cupcake image, it's from this years PTI anniversary set.

Have a great weekend & thanks for looking.

Hello!

My very best bud, Claire Brennan has started her own line of stamps! How cool is that?! Anyone who visits her blog will know her work is amazing & she is very talented. 

I'm so happy for her & wish her well in her new venture. She will be a huge success I'm sure.

Claire very kindly gave my one of her sets before they went on sale & I should be ashamed that I'm only inkin' it up now but I seem to have lost my mojo lately.

The wee gingerbread girl is from Claire's 'Half baked' set which is so cute! There is another set which is just as cute called 'Oven Fresh' you can purchase them here.

Check out the stamp sets below

Thanks for looking.

Wow! What a week!

Can't believe its Thursday already. 

My youngest daughter Becky who is 6 ended up in hospital on monday eve. 

She had been sick from saturday, I thought she just had a 24 hour bug but when it didn't pass I got her to the GP, who told me she was fine just a virus. A few hours later she was sent to the Children's hospital where they discovered she was very dehydrated and her blood sugar levels were way to low so they admitted her.  To cut a long story short, she was on a drip for a 16 very long hours & started keeping fluids down & her blood sugar came back up to the normal level so she was sent home & she is on the mend thank god! 

Scary to see such a wee thing getting needles stuck in anywhere they could find a vein.

Fingers crossed the remaining blood tests come back clear.

On to my card for this weeks CPS sketch. 

Got my sewing machine out for this one, first time I have sewed  a card, it was fun. I used black again, it's my favorite color. The wee stamp belongs to my daughters I thought it was cute. 

Thanks for looking.

Hello, hope you are all well. 

Here is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.  I've missed the last few weeks with the girlies being off school & being away for a few days, so I'm well chuffed I got time to do a card this week. Another great sketch! I love black & white so this was an easy card to make I find I struggle if I try to be adventurous with colours & patterns etc....lol!

Thanks for looking, hope you have a great weekend.

Yeah! I got a chance to do the CPS sketch this week & what a cool sketch! I had great fun with this one. 

I was in Edinburgh for a few days last week with my family & we had a ball. It was a two & a half hour journey by car up to Edinburgh when we got off the ferry. Feels longer with a 6 year old asking me every two minutes "are we there yet" lol!  When she was amused for 5 minutes, I googled craft shops in Edinburgh & got directions to a Hobbycraft Superstore Whoo Hoo! We went on the way home & I got a few bits & bobs ;) So I made this card with all the stuff I got in Edinburgh.

Thanks for looking.

Mojo Monday week 81

Hello! 

This is my card for this weeks sketch over at Mojo Monday. 

Easter is well on its way so I thought I'd use that theme. Gonna keep this short & sweet as it's late & I've been in bed all weekend with a virus which has left me with a chest infection. 

Hope your all well.

Thanks for looking.
