Schools out for Easter

Our jack breaks up from nursery for Easter on Thursday and we thought it would be nice to give his teachers a little something back for all their care and hard work this term.

So I got out the Silhouette Portrait and knocked up a little school house that we will fill with chocolate mini eggs for them.

 

Cute huh!

So easy too, I bought the template from the silhouette site.

I had a wonderful Birthday on Saturday.

A Kiss from my favourite boy

A massive bouquet from my favourite fellow.

Pandora charms from my favourite girls.

And another bouquet from my daughters partner Charlie.

Ribeye steak for dinner, loads of cards and some cash too.

It was the perfect day.

Fabulous, Polka Dot Card

I think this is a tad busier than my normal card but I think this image demanded it, the image is called Fabulous and is a digital image from Mo’s Digital Pencil.

I bet you all thought I was calling my own card Fabulous ha ha!Fabulous1

 

I lovingly coloured her with Copic Markers and Chalk Pencils, I distressed all of the papers to make the edges raggy tied a bow in the corner with a fabulous button from Dainty Paperie and at the top corner added some poppy’s and blossoms and some die cut leaf design.

So today is my Birthday. I think I’ve come a long way from this picture below.

Chris asked me what I wanted for my Birthday and I told him I didn’t want anything, I can’t think of a thing I want and that's the truth, I used to complain at my parents when they did that but I think you get content with what you have and buy what you need so I totally understand it now.

I do however intend on having a fat day ha ha! maybe even a chocolate day but we’ll see.

Good Luck Leprechaun

I made up the Leprechaun from Mo’s Digital Pencil, it was created on St Patricks day. It was given as a 24 hour freebie by Mo on her facebook page so if you hurry you may still get it free.

leprechaun1

I love that this image comes with it’s own Irish Blessing, it takes all of the hard work out in trying to hunt one down.

leprechaun2

He’s such fun no?

Coloured with Copic Markers and chalk pencils.

I added some Mica gold flakes to the card.

And of course it wouldn’t be complete without a 4 leaf clover made with a heart punch.
