Happy Birthday

As it's my Birthday today and I'm now in the wrong side of 40 I thought I'd share some of my photos of my in younger years.

Two of me in my Pram, isn't it a beauty? everyone say awe...

It's good to look back to past times, aren't photographs amazing?

Here I am with my gorgeous Nana and my cousin Susan, I'm the ickle one.

I'm off out with my Mam for a girlie day just the two of us then I get jack for a couple of hours tonight for some snuggles.

I hope you all have a wonderful day too.

Flowers for my Mommy - Mothering Sunday

Just short post as I think the weekend has just cought up on me and my energy levels are zero, Everything is aching and I'm nodding while typing so I need to get off to my bed.

I used the last image from my set called Very Very Sweet by A Day for Daisies and coloured it with Copic markers and distress inks. I used the pendant dies by Spellbinders and a foilage die by Marianne designs.

Waiting for Rain

Poor love! she only needs a bit of rain so that she can sail her Yacht, she's all prepared for it too in her little Sou'wester and red gum boots.

I used one of the Marianne Creatable Doily Dies behind her and Designer papers from Stampin Up, some pearls and vintage seam binding ribbon.

waiting for rain is a Mo manning image and can be purchased here.

Image coloured with Copic markers.

Brilliant Day

We set off quite early this morning 7:30 am and made our way to Harrogate Papercraft Extravaganza and on arrival we were greeted by the exhibition Cow "Daisy".

The day was manic busy with lots of crafters armed with shoppers all awaiting to fill them up at whatever caught their eye.

I was doing demo's with the Build a Blossom and I did so many I have a blister.

I love it when someone watches me transform the flat sheet into a thing of natural beauty before their eyes and the disbelief at how easy they are to make until they see for themselves.

A very satisfying feeling indeed.

We had a marvelous day and after a good nights sleep I should be ready for round 2 tomorrow.

The display stand are really for Cupcakes and i saw them on facebook purchased by Nicola Joliffe one of my crafty friends and thought they would be perfect for the Build a Blossom flowers to showcase them.

I think they look like they should be in a flower boutique.

I must add that not 1 cup of tea came my way today from crafty friends (how rude) lol!
