Just A Note.....

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Today I would like to share another of my giant peg note holders with you......but this time I'm keeping this one.......

I have chosen to use blues and these gorgeous LOTV papers particularly as these are the colours I have picked to decorate my new craft room when we move house......eventually!!!!!

From The Side


From The Front



The papers are from LOTV and I just love them, they are called 'Petal Fresh' and they are so pretty.  I have added some blue chalk around the edges of the peg  and the flowers are from various different places mainly The Hobby House and Wild Orchid Crafts. The pins are from my stash and I finished off by spraying some Glimmer Mist over the flowers although you can't really see it in these photographs.


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

Best Friends.....

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Today I have another card to share.


The image is from a decoupage sheet by Sarah Kay....I have loads of these sheets and they always come in handy when I haven't got time to colour an image and I need a quick card.

The papers and the sentiment are from LOTV and the ribbon and pearls are from The Hobby House.

I think these are my new favourite colours and I just love these beautiful LOTV papers.

All Grown Up!!!!

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Today it is my daughter Brogan's 18th Birthday.




I can't believe where the years have gone.

Here is the card that I made for her.



I attended a Copics class with the fabulous Kate last Saturday and this is the card we made and I just knew this would be perfect for Brogan.

My colouring isn't brilliant but I'm getting there.

She didn't want a large cake but opted for cupcakes and here is a photo of one of the boxes......there are 36 cupcakes all together.


There is definitely a theme as you can see......shoes, shoes and more shoes.

One of her presents was a pair of Jimmy Choos and yes they do fit me!!!!!!
(this was instead of a party I might add)

Tonight we are going out for a meal at one of our favourite restaurants and I'm sure the shoes will be having an outing.
 
Here is a final photo of my birthday girl.


Happy Birthday Brogie.

We all love you very much.

xxxxx

Have a lovely evening.

Thank you for stopping by.

"How Charming"

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

It's time for a new challenge over at

A Gem Of A Challenge 

and it's my turn to host and I chose the theme

"How Charming"

(So I would like to see charms adding to your cards/projects)


The prize as always is 

2 Individual Digi images

For my card I used this sweet image from Pink Gem Designs called Sitting Chloe. I have coloured with Promarkers and the papers are Kaiser Craft ~ Devonshire Collection. I made the flower from two different sized flower punches, trimming the leaves to shape and adding a brad and spacer for the flower centre. I added a ribbon and a bow and a bumblebee charm and then finished off with some pearls as always.
