Angel Wishes

Wooohoooo I've managed to do a challenge card with plenty of time to spare instead of missing the deadline,and it's my second card in a couple of days.That must be a record for me...lol.
There's a fab sketch by Tiets over at The Sugar Bowl so I inked up my new Angel Wishes stamp from Sugar Nellie.She's so pretty.I've used my X-cut snowflake punches and layered them up and sprinkled with loads of Glamour Dust and added a Papermania shimmer dot to the centre of each.I love the effect of them both layered.
I've used my Cutter Bee Bug again to do the piercing round the edge and again it's just the single row.I really love this wee tool.I've also embossed the circle with the snowflake embossing folder and sanded it back,it's not showing very well though.I think I need to be using 8x8 cards as I struggle to fit everything on...lol

Long Time No Blog..........

Yes it's been a while since I last blogged. But as some fellow bloggers know my little boy was diagnosed with a long term disability last July and so he is my main priority now. Unfortunately my crafting and blogging has taken a back seat,as you can probably understand.I can't promise I'll be posting daily,but I'll try and keep up a bit more regularly.Sorry if I've not visited all your lovely blogs.I hope to spend some time catching up.

I've managed to make a few cards (and bought some) and also had to keep my scrapbooking classes going so I'll hopefully get some of it posted.Unfortunately my heads been in the clouds a bit and forgot to take pictures of some of my cards....dooohhhhhh

This is a card I made for our friends little girl back in January. Daisy from Sugar Nellie coloured with Promarkers,Heidi Grace Paper and SU Stamp set.
I managed to pop along to the Hobbycrafts show at the SECC last Thursday with my friend Lesley. We had a fab day and met up again with the fantastic Kath and the lovely Alison.
I also got to meet some other lovely blog ladies,namely Lorraine, Gayle, Sue and Allison.
It was fabby to meet everyone and see what lovely stash we had all bought.Hope to see them all again in October.

Thanks For Looking

Red Carpet

Well I'd just like to thank everyone for their good wishes on my trip back to hospital for another wee operation. All is well so far but just a wee bit tender at my hips.I keep bumping into the kitchen worktops too as it's just at the same height...ouch!
I was to be at The Golden Jubilee Hospital for 11am and arrived at the car park entrance at 10.30ish to be greeted by 3 police officers who waved me to stop. What's the nature of the visit they asked. I'm being admitted for an operation I said,so they waved me on into the car park. When I drove in the place was full of police. Two walking towards me had braid on their hats. Not PC's for sure...lol. Couldn't find a parking space so drove round to the other side of the hospital where the hotel is and parked.As I walked up to the entrance a guy was hoovering a red carpet. Geez...they didn't have to go to all that trouble for me....pmsl. Anyway as it turned out HRH Queen Elizabeth was visiting to open the new heart and lung department. Mystery of all the police solved!
I was put into the same room I had when I had my op back in January and had a great view of the helipad. Down came the helicopter and dropped off HRH and Prince Philip,who then jumped into their Rolls Royce and were driven by the hospital windows where we were all standing and received the Royal Wave. Was tempted to wave my paper knickers but would probably have got carted off to the Tower. So that was my gossip for the day.

I've added a couple of cards that I made for Louis teachers to prevent the boredom of my previous waffle....lol. Louis finished nursery a week past on Friday,so my baby starts school in August. I can't believe it. The time has just flown by.
Both cards are using Birthday Hamish kindly got for me by Stu along with some others.I've coloured them both with my Prismacolors. The pink PP is Daisybuckets (gasp!) and the brown is Heidi Grace and has a lovely silk and flock feel. Papermania Brads (ordinary and sugar coated), Making Memories cheeky clips,flowers and Studio G sentiment stamps.
