Superhero brother

Not at all what I had planned to do for today, was meant to do a card actually!!! This pic has been sitting on my desk for ages now, so finally decided to bite the bullet and I am actually happy the way this one turned out, I am very critical of my LO's, they never seem right quite to me, on the other hand everyones elses alwasy seem to be so gorgeous. Anywwaaayyyy, tfl, mandyxx

I am creating I promise..........

I am working on sample cards using some gorgeous new stamps a talented friend of mine has designed and made!!! They will be launching soon, so watch this space. I have soom lovely cards done, but I am keeping them underwraps until the big reveal. Later though I plan on making something "just because" to prove I am still creating!!! Hugs, mandyxx

A crazy week!!! Kids off school, and I got nothing done, I did manage though to create my first paper bag album with the guidance of Sandie, I am going to use this for pics of the kids birthdays, I love the colours of the basic grey cupcake range, so colourful and happy. I am not finished it yet, still have to embellish and work on the cover too, and I plan on doing that today out in the garden, as it is another gorgeous day!!! tfl, mandyxx

My News!!!

Philip got down on one knee on Saturday in the place we first met and asked me to marry him!!!! I was speechless I did not see it coming, its the most beautiful ring with a special storey. I am so happy.

Fridays Card Challenge

Yet another I hear you say lol! Again between Sandie and myself! I have used Elsie "Claire" again, I am getting great mileage out of these papers, but they are so yummy, how could you not? I used my rubons on acetate and then mounted them to the card using foam pads, just to give it a bit of 3D ness, and again sketch is from Katarinas wonderful collection!!! Hope you likey, thanks for looking, mandyxx

Cat Nap LO

LO challenge today between Sandie and myself using a sketch from here!!! I love this pic of the cats, all caught snoozing on my bed in the warm patch were the sun was shining in!!!
