What a Week!

Hello!

 

I hope I find you all well?  Me, I'm not too bad thanks, bit of a sore throat but that's probably because the weather has gone from summer to winter overnight!  Not in temperature mind you but the amount of rain we've had today is crazy compared to yesterday which was sunny and hot!  You've got to love the Great British Weather, especially on a bank holiday weekend, it's always the same.....rain, rain and more rain lol!!

 

Apologies for not being about much this past week again, to say it's been manic is an understatement!  My poor Father-In-Law was rushed into hospital on Tuesday with a massive blood clot on his lung.  Thankfully he was diagnosed and given blood thinners before, well, I don't really want to think about that!  We think the clot may have formed whilst we were on holiday, we're blaming the kids, see what they do to you lol!  He's doing much better now thank goodness and was discharged yesterday, he's now at home to rest and recover :o))  So this week we've been juggling the kids and hospital visits (thank you Ma & Pa for helping out!).....we're all absolutely knackered and sooooo looking forward to a PJ day tomorrow!!

 

Onto my card ('finally!' I hear you shout lol!) and this one I made very early yesterday morning as I couldn't sleep.  I really enjoyed making it, I must've been craving a bit of 'think about something else' time!  Here's my card...

Very girly and lots of fun!

 

Ok, time to take some lemsip so I'll love you and leave you.  Hope I didn't bore you with all the waffle and well done for sticking with me to the end of the post lol!  See you soon peeps,

 

Much love,

Cazza

Happy Birthday!

Good Morning!

 

Well as per usual, so much for me posting soon after my last post...I've decided I'm rubbish at this blogging lark lol!  However, I have made a couple of cards in my absence so at least I'm doing something, right?!  In my defence, it is half term!  Today we're off to town to buy new school shoes, that'll probably set me back about £80, yikes!!  And then maybe a sneaky MacDonald's.....well as I said earlier, it is half term!!  ;o)

 

Onto my card and this is a sentiment only one, I'm getting quite into these!!...

Morning lovely Peeps!

 

Apologies for my lack of posts recently, life suddenly got very busy indeed.....well it's always busy but it just kinda got in the way, you know what I mean don't you lol!!  But here's a card I made last week that I haven't got around to posting yet!...

 

 

 

Yes, probably just like most of you, I HAD to buy some of the new LOTV sentiment stamps!!  Love how quickly you can make a card when there's no colouring involved!!

 

 

 

This one is kinda like the one I posted here, except this is the girlie version lol!!

 

Hope you're all well?  I've been doing a quick reccy of your blogs but hope to have a proper catch up over the weekend.....along with some crafty time too!!  :o))

Let's Get Sentimental

Morning All,

 

Coming at you from Cupcake today and we have another fabulous challenge for you this week...

 

Let's Get Sentimental

 

Now this is a theme that would terrify me normally, but I have to say I totally loved it!!  So if you're like me and feel a card isn't a card without getting the copics (or markers of your choice!) out, then don't be fooled - it's fun to try something different  :o))

This week we're sponsored by not one, but two fabby sponsors - Crafts U Love and Flat Friends so give sentiments a go and I'll see you over at Cupcake!

 

Much love,

Afternoon!

 

Super quick post from me today, just sneaking in before I go to pick up Big Boy from school!  Today's card is for my Brother-In-Law who turns 40 on Sunday and, as the post title suggests, something a bit different for me.....no coloured image and no copics in sight, dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!  What do you think?

 

 

 

 

Very easy to make and very quick too, perfect for the 'rushed off her feet Mum' lol!

 

 

 

There is a load of glamour dust around each star and the 40 is also coloured in with it, it's just not showing in the pictures, must be the lack of light and sun, again lol!

 

See you soon peeps,

Much love,

Cazza
