In The Pink

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

It was my birthday yesterday (yes another year older) and I spent a lovely day with my mum and three other wonderful friends at the Knitting & Stitching Fair in Harrogate.....Thank you ladies I had a wonderful day!!!!

I think we've been going to this show since it started.....

And here is the cake that my daughter Brogan made for me...




It tastes fabulous.....Mary Berry would be proud!!!!

Please pop over to Brogan's baking blog where she explains how she made it and to take part in her cake flavour survey......

The Happy Little Cupcake


I also have a card to share today...

I made this card for a friend who has recently retired.




I tried to keep this card relatively clean and simple as I think these beautiful Art Pad images from Lili Of The Valley don't need much help in the way of embellishment as they are stunning in themselves. I did use my very favourite papers from Craft Creations Ltd and of course....as ever pearls from The Hobby House. I finished off by adding some Liquid Pearls and a sentiment also from LOTV.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. 

I really do appreciate your visits and your lovely comments.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Bringing Gifts

Hi everyone.

I hope you are all well today.

I can't believe how cold it has been here.....very frosty first thing but gorgeous sunshine, so Brogan and I decided to have a drive through the Lincolnshire Wolds to a large garden centre. It was such a glorious morning and the scenery and colours were amazing. 

We had a lovely time, lots of Christmas shopping and lunch to finish off....then a leisurely drive home.

Anyway on with a card I have to share.


This is another card to add to my growing list of finished Christmas cards. I think I am almost there now.....maybe one or two more.

The pre~coloured image is from Lili Of The Valley as are the papers. I used Kraft cardstock to mount the papers and added a die cut poinsettia which came from a pack of die cuts that I've had for ages from Craftwork Cards. The pearls, lace and the poinsettia centre are from The Hobby House. I finished my card by adding lots of Stickles and I will add a sentiment later.


I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:~

Bearly~Mine Challenges ~ # 113 Traditional Colours (Red & Green) Using Die~Cuts
Ladybug Crafts ~ Use Kraft Cardstock
Creatalicious Challenges ~ # 57 ~ Christmas Time


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Hopefully I will have another card to share tomorrow.
