Belated Birthday

 Hello my lovelies,

Once again we have a Fabulous challenge for you over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges.

This week we are looking at 

Birthdays

Yes that's right, good old birthdays. Let's face it we all have dozens of birthdays to card-make for every month. 

BUT

If you are anything like me there is always that one birthday you only remember the night before, Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh.

On those days you need small and simple, so here you go

Compact but beautiful. No, I never put belated on the front of the card and sometimes I don't mention my error inside either. 

Stamps is LOTV (proper stamp not digi) and a wide variety of ProMarkers.

I can tell you that I am getting very excited for Fab'n'Funky's #500 post, so amazing to know we have been sharing our passion with all of you for so long.

Please visit our lovely DT's and leave them some love.

Now, I got an interesting message the other day from my youngest daughter. It read

"Can I be cheeky and ask a favour?"

My first thought , oh dear what does she want me to make now, and I was correct. Then I received a jpg of a sketch she had done, then a delivery

Now I'm not going to share her sketch just yet, but the above fabric arrived. Best part is she ordered it from a local-ish company (they are just over the border in Leicester) so I'm very proud of her for that.

I will share this with you in the next couple of weeks, first I have to convert her sketch into a pattern 😅

Back soon with more sharing

Hugs & Happy Thoughts

A little later than normal but........
Here we go again everyone, are you ready?

In the 3rd advent window

My calendar gave to me

a cute little cherub die

This little chap proved to be a bit of a chellenge. Then I remembered that I had birthday card to make. Elegant, that is what the card needed to be, so that is what I tried to achieve.

 I chose a sublte colour pallette, and I had this lovely free downloaded image from Dreamees. I used cream and grey card for the layering and black for the cherubs. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from Clarity stamps.

I am entering this into
   Freshly Made Sketches

See you tomorrow

Men!!!

They can be the hardest people to make a card for............
I almost forgot one of my work colleague's birthday........sinful!
But I put my nose to the grindstone and came up with the perfect card for him, so I'm entering it into 2 challenges;

The Male Room

CASology







So for his birthday card, I used a decorating theme as he bought his first house not long ago

I've gone for a very simple cleanish look. This stamp is one of my more recent acquisitions and I think he's quite sweet.
Stamps - LOTV Lick of Paint and WMS Compact Sentiments
Colour - Various Promarkers and SU inkpad Not Quite Navy
Some wood effect backing paper from my stash

I am actually quite pleased with how it turned out.
Well, I better finish typing up this recipe before my eldest starts calling for my blood...lol

Oh yes, I have a secret and I promise to share it soon
Hugs
