Happy Birthday ~ Vintage Style & An Apology........

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Wouldn't you just know it......My weekend off work and someone has stolen the 'Sun', now isn't that just typical, but at least I couldn't use the sunshine as an excuse to avoid the housework.....mores the pity!!!!
First I would like to apologise to all my followers and friends out there in blog land for being a very bad blogger of late. I know I have lost a few of you along the way and I would like to 'Thank' those of you who have stuck with me no matter that I haven't always commented on your beautiful blogs and creations but I have had so much going on at home with one thing and another. Hopefully things are settling down now and I can get back to crafting and blogging and normal service will resume.
Today I have card to share. I made this for a friend who's birthday it was recently.

Most of the items I used to make this card are from The Hobby House from their Elegant Card Making Kit, the only other items I added were the gems also from The Hobby House and some die cut leaves.

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

Cameo

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I just wanted to share a quick card with you that I made with the scraps I had left over after completing another project. It's a very simple card and although I'm quite pleased with the effect I keep wanting to add 'something' to the bottom left hand corner......but I'm trying to resist the temptation..........

All the items I used can be found at The Hobby House except the sentiment which is a stamp from Hero Arts ~ Your History.

Hello Baby!

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I should have named this post 'Hello Sunshine'......It's lovely and sunny here and I have a day off.....well that makes a nice change I can tell you.
Today I have a card to share......I don't seem to be getting much time for crafting with one thing and another......but I keep trying.

The image on my card is from LOTV and I coloured using my Distress Marker pens, these are slowly becoming my favourite pens but I still can't get away from my Promarkers. The papers are from Craft Creations Ltd.....I just love these polka dot papers. I found the ribbon in my scraps box and the pearls are as always from The Hobby House. The little hearts and bows die is from Memory Box.

Just For You

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I've finally got round to making another card......I really haven't had much time for crafting lately.

I made this card for no particular reason other than I could and this sweet topper was lying on my craft mat.
For my card I used a Wee Card Topper ~ Silver Fairy  Self Adhesive Flourishes ~ Pearl  Mulberry Paper Roses ~ Raspberry Truffle  Decorative Pins ~ Urban Teardrop  Self Adhesive Pearls ~ 5mm Ruby Mix Lace and Pearl Strings  all from The Hobby House. 
The papers are from Limited Edition ~ Dreamcatcher. The large rose was from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I'm quite pleased with this card as I was beginning to think my Mojo had taken a permanent holiday. 
I seem to have been so busy just lately and I know I have neglected my followers but I hope things are now settling down and I will be able to catch up with you all.
