Spellbinders Cross–As Easy as 1,2,3

No ink required.

I got the inspiration for these cards from my friend Emily as I have 2 Christenings coming up and loved the simplicity.

I over wrapped my cards on top of a pink card as our new babies are both of the girl variety.

I thought I should show two cards today as I lost a whole day with a migraine on Wednesday and spent the whole day in bed.

Luckily I had pictures of Jack all ready to go.

Lickitysplit

My two boys enjoying an ice cream at Licketysplit this evening.

Just Jack

I told you we had Jack for the afternoon the other day and we had wanted to take him to the seaside but as it happened the tide was in. We had already told him that we were going to buy a bucket and spade and that he could build sand castles.

So Granda to the rescue and as we couldn’t take Jack to the beach to play in the sand, good old Granda brought the beach to Jack.

Jack totally loved it and played for hours.

The next one is another from him watering the flowers for me.

Two of Us-006

Love that boy.

He is visiting us tonight and we get to get him ready for bed before his Mam picks him up.

I used Nitwit papers for my digital scrapbook layouts.

I used the My Memories Suite to make the layouts.

I am bursting with pride for Chris my wonderful husband, he has been awarded The Queens Diamond Jubilee medal for his services in the Fire Brigade to the community.

This is his second medal for this as he also received one for Her Majesty's Golden Jubilee.

In the close up of the image you can see just how well the colours blend together. making it easy to get the light and darker shades working for you.

Just Inklined to Hop–One Layer

Its that time again for the Just Inklined Blog hop and this month Toni is the host and has chosen One Layer as the theme.

You should have landed on my blog from Joyce if not hop back so you don’t miss her creation.

I know all of the girls have been working hard on their projects so remember to leave them all a comment for a chance to win a spot prize.

The image I used was The Blessing and can be bought from here

I have to say it wasn’t the easiest of themes, it is very difficult not to add more but this stretched the mind in a good way.

The_blessing1

So simple yet so effective

Next up is the super talented Tammy so keep hopping and remember to leave a comment on each blog.

He Stole my Heart

It has to be said, he definitely stole my heart, I would however of given him it gladly in the blink of an eye.

I simply adore this little man, we had him today and he was as good as gold, he helped water the garden with his little watering can and he just loves being out in the fresh air.

Two of Us-003

He chatters along asking hundreds of questions which all have to be answered. He also does make believe now which finds me watching and studying him as well as playing along, he jokes and giggles and is totally fun to be with.

Two of Us-004

He helps make the Yorkshire pudding for dinner, and then up to my craft studio and he did some stamping and made a die cut duck, he likes to get in there as I have a small step ladder so that i get reach to the top of the shelving.

I simply love him.
