Garden antics and a birthday card for Dad!

Hi everyone,

I am slowly getting back into the craft room these days after a very long break!!


Time is flying by and there always seems to be something to do!  My current project is making my garden look respectable!! We have lived in our house for 4 years now and never really touched the garden apart from adding some decking and replacing some fallen down fences.  It's so far been very hard work,
but very rewarding work!  I can't wait until we get it finished, but unfortunately that is a month or so off yet!! We have to wait for our new shed to be delivered, so in the mean time I have been making a few cards!!
It's my Dads birthday today, but since he is on holiday with my Mum he will get it a bit later than usual! He has recently got himself a bright orange bike, and although he looks nothing like this biker dude in the image by KennyKDownloads, I thought this image was rather fitting!!!  I love KennyK images right now and his latest additions to the Steampunk Burlesque girls!! Keep an eye out for some more cards with this guys images on!! ;oD

I am entering this card into a challenge over at St Lukes Charity Cards Challenge Blog.

Male themed cards are being called for, so this fits the bill!!

Hi everyone,

Not got any offical photos yet to show off, but here are a few taken by family and friends of my wedding day on the 28th May:



 





Mark and I had a fantastic day and the rain held off when it mattered!!  Thank goodness!

Big Thanks to you all..

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to do a very quick post to say a big THANK YOU to those of you who have taken the time to send Mark and I a card and/or pressie.  You are all so kind and we really appreciate it. 

We have not opened any cards yet, as we are saving them for the Wedding Day/following day, which is why we haven't thanked you yet.  We will eventually, I promise!!

Thanks also to those of you posting your well wishes on here.

I am currently feeling surprisingly chilled out, despite my big day tomorrow, so enjoying it while it lasts!! lol

In celebration of my forthcoming Wedding....BLOG CANDY TIME!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the severe lack of posts recently. Wedding preparations have been keeping me extremely busy, and I have had to take a short break from Pear Tree Designs Challenge Blog, where I am on the DT, in order to finish off my Wedding stationary!!

Anyway! SURPRISE BLOG CANDY TIME!

I thought as it's my Wedding Day in 3 weeks time, and then my surprise Honeymoon organised by my wonderful Fiance, I would do a Surprise Blog Candy for all my lovely followers!

What I would like you to do is the following:

• Guess where I might be going on my 2 weeks honeymoon using the clues below:

1. I have had to have 2 jabs consisting of, Tetnus, Diphtheria, Polio and Hepatitis A.
2. The flight is direct and between 1 and 24 hours long (not sure how helpful that is, lol)
3. It's somewhere I've not been before, so that rules out Tenerife, Orlando, New York, Chicago, Dallas, France, Portugal, Zante-Greece and Norway!

• Become a follower if you're not one already.
• Post the picture below on your blog with a link back to my blog for me
• Post your answer below (maximum of 2 per blog please!) by the 13th June @ 12pm.

The first one to guess the location will win. I will announce the winner sometime between the 29th-30th June.

Lots of luck, and please feel free to give me any Wedding Day advice!! I am pretty stressed but excited about it! :o)

Happy Birthday Jack!

Hi everyone,

A friend of mines son is 6 next week and she asked me to make him an 'Anng - The Last Airbender' birthday card for him, and this is what I came up with after scanning Google for quite some time!!  Thanks to my rather handy Craft Robo I was able to cut out the writing!  My Fiance Mark helped me make the 6 badge in Aangs hand on Paint Shop Pro, and do all these cool effects.  I am useless with that program, far to many buttons!!!
I have used the decoupage craft for Aang so it looks as if he is popping out of the page.  I am pretty pleased with it!  I just hope he likes it too!  Apparently it will be going up on his wall - bless.
