The Birthday Boy

So as you know it was Jack's 4th Birthday on Tuesday and that his Auntie Natalie had bought him a paddling pool, well the weather as it is meant that he could get a chance to use it.

 

Isn't he adorable.

He als made two videos to thank people for his Birthday gifts and they are so sweet, I thought you might like to see them.

 

Love this little guy.

 

 

Breast Screening Day

It’s official, you get to a certain age in life and it happens.

I have been called for breast screening, I don’t mind going today really in fact I think it is a good thing that our hospital has lowered the age for it.

However, I have had this done before a good few years ago when I had a bit of a scare, now what worries me is back then my skin still had its elasticity and today I’m wondering if my boobs will bounce back as they did then?

So I’m sat here in the waiting room wondering if chicken fillets will be the answer for my bra’s to give me the desired lift to keep me of the feminine nature.

Oh to be young and perky again ha ha!

So you could say this gave me the inspiration for my card today.

Image is Dotted Bikini from A Day for Daisies 

Coloured with Copic markers and Chalk pencils. some ink splashes and a bit of pondering.

 

After the screening I rang Chris to be greeted with, “now then saggy boobs” (except he didn't say boobs (go figure)), isn’t he a sweetheart ha ha!

It’s a strange thing went you sit and think of back in the day isn’t it, whites were whiter during the twin tub and coal mining years, days were carefree and less rushed, a family holiday was a picnic by a river or in a field. 

Bring on Summer

This is the card I decided on for Jack’s 4th Birthday, his Auntie Natalie bought him a paddling pool so I thought this would be perfect for him, bright and cheery.

Bring on Summer from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I used Nitwit designs for my background paper

I also used a stepper card base from La Pashe 

Coloured with Copic markers and Chalk pencils.

Jack is coming for his Tea tonight so he will get his present a day early from us, I think thats allowed as Grandparents isn’t it?

Summer Sun

 

There's nothing nicer than sitting in the garden with the person you love, relaxing together in the warm sunshine.

We've been out and about choosing taps handles and work tops as the renovations for the kitchen start later this month, then met up with our daughter for a coffee and a quick look at some vintage vehicles down at the harbour sea front.

Well a man can dream can't he, Chris standing next to an Aston Martin.

There was also a firm favourite for the men there a traction engine

Then home for some us time and to relax before heading off to jack's tea party.

Wow it was hot wasn't it?

Jack had a wonderful party and I was so good not picking from the table although I was so so tempted.

We finished our day off with a little walk after our dinner.

I hope whatever you were doing on Saturday that it was as relaxing as our day was.

 

Swinging by…

Another from the Sassy Cheryl digi stamps today,

I love her characters. this one is Swing me a Story Max.

I kept it plain and simple like yesterdays card but without the distressing, the embossed corner was made with my Scor-Pal (my favourite tool)

Coloured with Copic markers and Chalk pencils.

 

We are going to Jacks party at tea-time, can you believe he will be 4 years old on Tuesday, where did that last 4 years go.

Just A Little Hello

I bet you all thought I’d gone AWOL, truth is I came back from Peterborough and I just felt washed out, it was a long drive home and I was shattered.

So back to normal now hopefully and a new card to show you,

Just a Little Hello Maddie by Sassy Cheryl

Coloured with Copic markers and chalk pencils, sentiment printed onto the card along with the image then embossed at one corner, distressed edges then mounted onto a distresses ink card and a little bow and pearl to tie it all together.

 

Entered into the Hats On" challenge at Sassy Cheryl Challenge blog, I never win these things but it is fun trying.

Cards from Create and Craft TV Show

Some of the cards from my Create and Craft TV shows yesterday.

The first is the story book using the Storyteller decoupage. Such a fun gift for a teacher or a child minder.

And the cover book.

 

 

Next up I had to make this one given the my husband is a Firefighter, Fireman sheet from the CD and using the stepper card.

 

So keeping with the serviced here is the Motorcycle Cops, again using  the stepper cards.

 

Lastly one for the I’ve passed my driving test group, The Learner Driver Sheet.

All can be found on the Something for Everyone CD from La Pashe
