Spring flowers

Happy May Day everyone, I hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend, we are still expecting some little chicks to hatch in the next couple of days, I'll post some pictures as soon as they start hatching, if they do that is. This little thank you card shows off the delicate colours of spring and looks so fresh and crisp. The flowers, leaves and butterfly were cut using my Brother scan n cut and the Doily was a tattered lace die. I coloured the flowers with pastel inks and placed liquid pears at their centres. Hope you like it.

Gavins Scooter

Afternoon everyone, its cold Sunday afternoon here in South Wales but weather forecaster's say were are going to have a heatwave in a few days...... I'm looking forward to thawing out... ;-) The card I'm posting today was made for my daughters partner who dislocated his ankle and broke his tibia in 3 places last weekend. Riding his scooter is out of the question for a few weeks so I thought he'd appreciate this card. The papers and lettering were downloaded and printed using one of my Digi kits by  Daisy Trail called Classic transport and after fussy cutting them, I decoupaged them with 3D foam. Get well soon Gavin xxx

I can do all things in Christ

Afternoon everyone, well its a cold Wednesday here in South Wales with a mixture of sunshine, rain and hail. No sign of any baby chooks yet I bet they are staying inside the egg where it's warm and cosy..lol. Todays card  was made using a rosette which I hand cut and scored, the leaves were a set of flourish dies by Tonic. The hearts were a set of Tattered Lace dies and the sentiment taken from Phillipeans chapter 4, verse 13 and says it all really,  I just wanted to share it with you. God Bless.

A little Bird told me

Happy Wednesday everyone, this mornings card is a joint effort with my other half , Chris, who loves doing watercolour paintings and I have asked him to do me a series of  little birds that I can add to my cards and make some notelets so this is the first of 6. Hope you like it.

Our latest additions

Happy Tuesday

These are the two new additions to our flock and I'm thrilled with them, my husband is so clever and sculpted these for me from some left over chicken fencing (very apt) a fab way of recycling the left overs. So these two beauties have joined our flock and are very well behaved. Here are a few of the rest of the clan...

We are also awaiting the hatch day of 7 eggs that one of the broody hens is sitting on and anticipate there arrival at the end of the month. Pictures to follow, watch this space... ;-)

Have a blessed day...

One for Nan

Morning everyone, todays card was a commission for a neighbours nan who loves spring colours and flowers. The border was a tattered lace die called Tattered Lace Broderie Florentine 3 in 1 Die which is very pretty and versatile too as you can snip into it. The flowers were hand made and I used a leaf die but sadly I cant say what make as I've lost the packaging. Pearl drops were used in the centre of the flower for added bling. The sentiments were also tattered lace sentiment dies. This card needed a box envelope due to the 3D flowers.  Have a great day

Potting Shed

Evening everyone, tonight's card was made using papers from Craftwork Cards and I chose this as I love hedgehogs. In fact I am a carer for a charity called hedgehoghelplinecymru.org.uk and I got involved because I'd heard that hedgehogs are in dire straits. They have been on the decline here in the UK and their numbers had decreased from 40 million to under a million. So as a volunteer I take in sick and injured hedgehogs and offer treatment for their ailments, infestations and injuries. Once they are fully recovered they are then released back into the wild in the hope they will increase in number. If you feel able to make a donation in aid of the charity there is a link on the web site and we would be really grateful as it pays for the drugs and equipment used in caring for these lovely little critters.
