Project of the Month Blog Hop - Glitter Theme

Its that time again and this Month the theme Glitter for the Blog hop was chosen by shell.

We will hold this every third Thursday of the month , we aim to give you a little inspiration and hopefully a few Oooo's and Awe's along the way.

The Dream Team is made up with some of the most talented ladies so be sure to give them all a visit starting with Shell

I coloured the image with promarkers and for the glitter I used Stickles glitter glue and some gold Bedazzles

Trying to Read is a digi image from Mo's Digital Pencil Too

Be sure to pop over to Liza next I just know she will have something amazing to show you.
If you get lost along the way I have a full list of the Design Team on my side bar.

Happy Hopping!

In the Quiet Arms of Prayer

I think there is something quite calming in leaves and trees and kaisercraft background papers capture this beatifully with the muted tones.

Labels 10 Nestabilities, paper flowers, Kaisercrafts DP, pearls, Prayer Stamp and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

I think this is just the most beautiful prayer, the stamp is by stampendous and I bought it at one of the craft shows, I would love to by more as there was a series of them but I have been unable to find them again.

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

After the last week of stress and finally getting baby Jack home from hospital this theme seems to be quite apt don't you think.

The image I love ya Tomorrow is a digi image by Mo Manning and it is sure to bring some sunshine into your card making.

OK how many of you broke into song whilst reading this? I've been singing since starting the card and still singing whilst posting it here for you ha ha ha.

Coloured with Promarkers, Martha Stewart around the page punched used, Kaisercraft background paper and a little pearl bow embellishment and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

I had to make the attention to detail the backing paper by Kaisercrafts, it is so tactile that it would have been a shame not to showcase it, this is one of the flocked sheets from the Belle paper stack.

Sharing Good News

I only have good news to share with you all today.

Baby Jack is home....

He was giggling with that curly nose cheekiness today which was an absolute pleasure to see, after all the checks and a dressing change he was allowed home.

His mam is ready for a night in her own bed as she is shattered and although he screamed the hospital down while his wound was being packed and dressed I'm sure jack will be glad to be back in his home environment too.

He will have to return back to the hospital each day to have the packing and dressing changed but at least he is on the mend now.

So no card to show you all today but I'm sure you will all forgive me.

Did i tell you that i have the best blog followers in the world that leave the most wonderful comments ever?

Jack 12th June

Well it has been a very stressful few days, Jack was so poorly he was took into hospital and you wouldn't have given him twopence the first couple of days he was so poorly.

They had concern for a large lump under his arm and after a ultrasound scan it was confirmed to be an abscess.

Today he was took to theatre to have surgery to have the abscess drained.

The operation went well, they have left the wound packed but open to allow it to drain and although he is still a very poorly boy hopefully he will be on the mend real soon.

Thank you for all the care and concern you have shown, Lauren, Jacks Mam has been reading all of your kind words and appreciates all the thoughts.
