Holidays

For the month of July I will be away and therefore blog less than usual. I apologise for the lack of commenting onto your blogs too; I will do my best to check your beautiful crafty creations whenever I get a chance but may not have the time to tell you how great they are.
I hope you all have a wonderful summer. I should return to some sort of normality in August. Have fun!!

In the meantime I leave you with a funny caption... My little one seems to be talking this very same language!! LOL!

Ruby Wedding Anniversary

It was my in-laws Ruby Wedding Anniversary yesterday and this is the card I made for them. I have blurred the photo inside to protect their identity; it is a nice, natural-looking one of the two of them at their beautiful garden.
The circle sentiment is from Netty's cards; the inside one I created it myself.
Can you believe it is 26th June already??!! Time flies when you are having fun!!!

Some challenges:

Ladybug Crafts ink - Red

Scrappy Frogs - Simply Red

Little Red Wagon - Anniversary cards

One stitch at a time - Wedding/Sympathy

Maya Making wishes

A quick post to show you a birthday card I finished this morning for my son's friend.
The beautiful image, coloured with Letraset Promarkers and highlighted with Stickles, is Maya Making Wishes from Whimsy Stamps (which I won at a Spoon full of Sugar challenge recently); papers are leftovers from my stash, me thinks a download; Cuttlebug embossing folder Happy Birthday; the khaki lace is a beauty - a sort of lacey woolen ribbon, iykwim- that I don't remember where I got from, typical! :-); little flowers and gem from my own stash. Hope you like it (sorry, the photo isn't great but we have a very dull day).

Onto some challenges:
