2 weeks to go





i have had a great weekend, Friday i went to the NEC craft show and spent a lot of money, (all on things i needed of course) i had a really good time, and found lots of things to inspire me for my craft show in two weeks, i took my mom, who brought a lot of things for jewellery making and my dad and hubby who carried our bags and who i sent off to find things that i had seen but couldn't remember which stall they were on. So full of inspiration i have made lots more cards to the 109 that i have all ready made, here are some of my cards and there are a lot more on the Docrafts website, there is a link below. hope you like them.

first week of my holidays

I can't believe that it's Thursday on my first week of my two week holiday, and tomorrow is my sister - in - laws wedding day. It has been a bit of a strange week really, as some of my hubby's Italian family were due to come over for the wedding, but because of ill health they couldn't come. I had lots of things planned for us to do, and had booked tickets to London, but instead i have had a bit of retail therapy by buying lots of crafts this week. I went to The Range on Tuesday and started to get bits in ready for Christmas and i have bought some bits of eBay. I have also had some time to make some new cards, hope you like them.

Mom's Birthday Card





it' s my mom's birthday come up this week, and i like to find things that are special for her, she like flowers and more traditional things, especially when it comes to cards, so this time i have gone for a very traditional look with the rose on the card but i have put some glitter around the edges of the roses around the out side. It will also be my mother in laws birthday and my mom has asked me to make a card for her, i hope they both like the cards that i have done for them, the card for my mother in law from my husband and myself will be shown next week when i have a chance to make it,

I was feeling very crafty this week and i hadn't had time to make any cards or any of my scrapbooking that i wanted to do (due to being not very well) and i had a chat with my hubby and told him i wanted some help in changing the look of my blog. After having a look at what other bloggers are doing, i now have a new look blog, and as you can see it's had a bit of a make over, hope you like what i have done.
