Jack with my Mam

I told you all the other day about Jack loving to visit my Mam so that he can chase Jess the cat from one room to the next trying to chat with her and it’s hilarious, on our last visit he was saying to her “hello gorgeous” totally cracked me up.

But there is another reason he loves to visit and here it is.

Jack with Great Gran

As you can see it is all pretty special at Great Grans so many new adventures to be found.

Tomorrow I’m going to spend the day with my Mam, I’m taking her to GNPE at Harrogate which she will love as she loves her crafting and then we will come back to mine where that wonderful man of mine is making our Sunday Dinner.

Something for the Weekend–Blog Candy

I wanted to spoil all my followers but I just don’t have the pennies to do that so instead I have put together some blog candy from some of my favourite companies. I appreciate each and every one of you that pop by to say hello as well as those that just pop their head in for a peek, you are like my extended family and many of you I feel that I know so well after commenting for so long.

I put together things that would add the little extra to your card making, ribbon flowers, gems, bows & buttons etc.

I think this will keep you going all year, there’s tons.

I added 3 close up shots

As you can see it’s amazing but it’s not enough so………..

I figured you needed something to add all of the embellishment too.

So I will also pop in the CD Rom from La Pashe The big One

How do you enter? well I’d love everyone to be a follower but I can’t force you to do that as most people only follow while the candy is available, sad but true and to be honest that just annoys me so all I’m asking is that you tell your friends about it, link it to blogs if you have one or post it on facebook if you use that.

Then link your name in the Inlinkz button below, you do not need a URL to do this, just leave it blank if you haven’t got one.

Blog Hop of the Month–A bit of Verdigris

It’s that time again and this Months theme for the Blog Hop is A bit of Verdigris (the colour green)and Debby is the host and that is where the blog hop begins.

You should have landed on my blog from Pops if not hop back there.

I kept mostly to green with my card and I used Window Seat from Mo’s Digital pencil for my image, she’s perfect for teenage cards.

Coloured with Copic Markers and Prisma Pencils then matted and layered on top of a leafy embossed background done with the sizzix die on the Grande Calibur by spellbinders.

The flowers are from Orchid Crafts

Next up is lori and I know she will spoil you with something amazing.

Don’t forget to leave a comment as there will be 2 spot prizes for comments left on our blogs.

Mothering Sunday Free Background Papers and Verses

Mothering Sunday is nearly upon us and I guess most of us will be looking for that special verse to add to our cards, I can make cards all day but I hate searching for verses, luckily I have a lovely friend that came to me rescue and wrote some poems for Mothers Day. So I thought it would be fitting to share with you all and I also made some pretty papers in 6" x 6" sizes to go with them.

Pop over to Anita Poems and see for yourself

I really hope these help you out, they would also make beautiful hand made cards for Sisters, Daughters, Aunts, Friends and Grandmothers

Scout Named Noah

We had a wonderful evening babysitting Jack and we took him over to see my Mam, he was in his Jimjams all ready for bed but he loves to visit her as not only is he the apple of her eye but he is totally intrigued with Jess her cat. We stayed for about an hour as that was as much as jess could put up with him as she is getting no younger and he has her scurrying from one room to another to hide from him.

I hurried back and got this card made, I think I have said before how much this character reminds me of Jack.
