We went in November, not a great month for the Northern Lights but the weather was pretty kind to us.

Afternoon ladies - what a lovely one!

Just been to a lovely childrens party that just comprised a giant bouncy castle and trampoline in the garden and lots of party food. My boys had a great time - I enjoyed the Pimms! Here's the brthday card I made - I was really pleased with it in the end - took me ages to think about how to put it together.



ANother confused leftie here - I write with my left hand and do pretty much everything else right handed - athough I struggle with either hand with a corkscrew - thank goodness for screw tops!

Flourgirl - lovely cards. The fantasy card is gorgeous.

I'm doing a 10k Starlight Walk tonight for our local hospice- think I'll try and have a nap before hand. We start walking at 10 so will hopefully be home about 1am.

Have a pleasant evening whatever you are doing x

Flourgirl - great fantasy cards - a really pretty image. Your anniversary cards are fab too - I love how you've used the scalloped circles. Did you ink around the edges??? Those flowers are really cute - where did you get them from???

Mumhug - really pretty challenge card - I really like the colours.

Myzdamena - I'm not the only one then that always bodges up when I'm stamping!! I find it so frustrating!! I tried stamping years ago and gave up - I've only just started again recently. Your magnolia card is lovely - its not naff at all. And the only thing that I manage to shade is hair at the minute - everything else looks a mess. I only have myself to craft with too, sometimes my son will get involved and do a bit of colouring.
Skiergirl - your birthday card is really classy, I love how you've done the present.

Saveapenny - thanks for sharing your holiday pics - it looks beautiful!!

Npsmama - great altered box - I had forgotten all about this challenge!!! It looks really pretty. Your cake looks so yummy!!!

Rainmac - your image wallet is gorgeous - the lace looks great!!!

MrsTidge - fabulous space card - it looks perfectly put together!!

Hels - I've just started using my xcut guillotine and I'm really impressed with it!! I use pro markers for colouring in, but they are really expensive!!!

Popped into the Asda yesterday - I've had my first proper order for a nappy cake, so I went on the hunt for some supplies. I noticed some great kilner jars at the entrance for only a pound - I thought they might be useful for your bath salts Rainmac. They also had some reduced father's day teddies for 1.50 - they were cute lions and all you have to do is take the t-shirt off them and they'll be perfect for nappy cakes. It does say on the tag though not suitable for kids under 12 months. I also picked up an aristocats hat and glove set for a quid reduced from 4 quid.

Your good idea has just cost my DH £54 I did save him nearly £10 though thanks to you telling me the code :A I also got free delivery and 1252 loyalty points worth £12.52 I think

Afternoon from me Not staying long and have only briefly noseyed at posts, not at blogs (sorry)

We have been out, ended up in a papermill shop where I picked up a forever friends stamp, 4 pots of embossing powder, a box of card, some reduced acrylic blocks, creativity mag with free D&D stamp, an embossing pen and I think there was some other stuff aswell but forgot??

Must dash as I think we are heading out again


P.S Oh hasn't noticed that my stamp collection has tripled in the last week .... nor has he noticed my basig grey papers are multiplying ... think I need to start making stuff before I need a 3rd craft box as then he will notice!!!!!

I am going to hopefully try and make some cards up this evening if I can persuade OH that he should chill out infront of the Xbox and I may even try my hand at embossing

Your new cards are gorgeous x

Think I had better put looking at those stamps on the back burner for a few weeks;)

Thank-you for your comments on the new cards. I love the Imaginisce papers and bought quite a few and the stamps but have only just got round to using them. Luckily I found a pink ink pad in my stash and it matched the paper

Melissa Yes I did ink round the edges and the stamp is a snag ems one 99p

Mrs Tidge Your space card is fab, great for a boy. I bet he loved it. Good luck for your walk tonight. x
