Gosh, its s few days since I've been here and so much has happened, so pleased, saveapenny, that the precious little one is on the mend.

Morning everyone, I made my challenge card last night...



I used Basic Grey papers to create the sea picture and a Craftwork Cards frame. I feel it's missing something so will keep looking at it and try and work out what that might be

Also made a card for the Creative Card Crew Round and Around challenge this week - http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/

Good luck with the cleaning saveapenny You must be shattered so please don't overdo things. Hope Harry and his mum are doing ok today x

CT19720 - great selection of cards, the football card is so inventive, you are very clever

Jailhouse - many congratulations on winning the blog candy, I love Laura Ashley stuff :T

Saveapenny so glad to hear good news, I have been thinking about you all. xx

Don't envy you the task of cleaning their flat. We did the same for my DS2 and DIL when our granddaughter was born.

CT Brilliant cards:T

Got up nice and early this morning to finish packing the caravan and DH is still in bed snoring:rolleyes: It's nice and sunny here in South Yorkshire so I hope it's the same in Rutland (near where the famous Pork Pies come from). We are supposed to be taking the bikes, the cycle path around the lake there is about 26miles round so I have been told. Don't worry I won't be doing the whole thing, I probably won't be able to walk after the first day anyway. I think I could do with a seat like an armchair on my bike:D Anyway I have packed lots of card stuff, including my new goodies so at least I will be able to sit (on a cushion) and craft.

Hoping to get into Peterborough as there is a certain TV craft show outlet there. Mmmmm I feel another credit card challenge coming on:rotfl:

Right off to make another cuppa and some toast and wake up DH. I will catch up with you all on Friday. Have a good and crafty week.

Sorry everyone, was in a mad rush yesterday hence 'look at my blog' because I didn't have time to wait for any more pics to upload to Photobucket.

Here is a close-up of the girl on the cover, these take me ages to colour in LOL



and here is the inside:



I think she is so cute:



Thank you every body for your wonderful comments xx You are all so supportive and kind, it is such a nice place to be here :A

I love your 'Thinking of you' card CT19720, the ribbon finishes it off beautifully x

Saveapenny - So pleased things are getting better for you & baby Harry - my favourite uncle was called Harry James. Just to keep you amused
whilst cleaning the flat - when my Dad had to tackle a major cleaning task he used to sing 'Muck of Ages' to the hymn tune 'Rock of Ages'. I still do it now & since I told my best friend she does the same!!

CT19720 - Lovely cards - I think Wordle is great for footie supporters.

rainmac - Think your Water card is fantastic even the tearing made to look like surf on the waves!

PLM - Gosh! you can see so much work has gone into that card.

Flourgirl - Have a great few days away - hope you don't come back too saddle sore!
