Birthday cards

I still can't quite believe that my baby is 8yrs old already. It only seems like the year 2000 was a couple of years ago. She is already a headstrong, independent, determined little lady. I hope those attributes stay with her (guess she gets them from her mum, lol).

She has started playing football for the local girls under 11yrs football club, Forfar Farmington and is loving it. Although I must be reminded not to put her in white socks, white shorts and a white sweatshirt when it is raining. She looked a picture last Saturday after training for almost 90mins, covered in mud but still smiling.

I know I'm a bit late but here is the birthday cards I made her from her mum n dad and her wee brother Conor.

Sorry the photos aren't that good. But aren't these new designs from Paula witht eh extras just fantastic. You can do so much with them .

Thank You Card Swap

A big thanks to all the girls : Pam, Paula, Emma and Sheena , who took part in the swap of a Thank You card made with one of Paula's Pollycraft Designs.




I showed off the card (brilliant - might I add) that I received from Sheena in a few posts earlier. Here's the one I made and sent to Emma (Something Sweet/Pollycraft Creations):

Hope you like it Emma...sorry it was a wee bit late!

I know Emma has a couple of kids so thought a cheery snowman Thank you card would be great for the up coming Christmas season.

Card Swap

Isn't this card just gorgeous?

It's a pocket card.

I received it from Sheena (Thank You Sheena :0) from the recent card swap I organised and I just love it - it is so cute! I'm always behind and haven't made mine yet so will have to get a move on tonight. You had to make and send a Thank You card using a Pollycraft design to another member of the swap.

There was only 5 members in this little swap but I hope you all enjoyed making a card for someone else. It let's use share ideas and creativity from othre s and sometimes we can learn ways of crafting. I've never made a pocket card before but look forward to trying one.

Emma at Rainy Days is contemplating a card swap after she is back from holiday (sometime in Aug), so if you want to take part, keep an eye out on her blog.

Quick Card

Not had a lot of time to make cards this week... but here's a quick handbags card I made.

Inside -

Weekend makes ....

Hubby was working night shift this weekend, so unfortunately (yeah, right) I had to abandon the housework as to not waken him up. No problem - just get all the craft stuff out! hahah

Thing was - I still had to keep the kids entetained as well. So while the kids set about making gift bags for their teacher for the end of term, I got stuck into making some cards.

I'll try and show the kids' gift bags later - not sure when the mounds of glitter glue will ever be dry! LOL

This one is for a friend.

The top ribbon has a peel off on it with "Just to Say" and the gorgeous die cut bear is froman Ebay seller by the name of Teeniesmum. She makes the most gorgeous bears I have ever see and when she has a listing of them, I try to make sure I can snap some up for my stash.

This is little card for my special friend Janet's grand-daughter,

Anna who's turning 6yrs old.

She is a gorgeous little girl who never fails to brighten her gran's day

and mine with her lovely smile.

I have used a Pollycraft topper (surprised?) & a few wee bits from my stash.

Janet is a very special lady. She is bravely fighting lymphoma cancer and her husband Jeff, has also recently had a brush with cancer. I checking on them every day via the Hopper's Faith Love and Hope blog. Janet is never without a smile and never fails to amaze me with her determination, faith and selflessness in thinking of others.

Janet you are an inspiration to me and I think of you often.

Gentle hugs

Fathers Day.....

Well, it will soon be Father's Day , so I thought'd I better get a wriggle on and come up with something for the kids to give to their Dad. Although it has been made easy for me again by Paula at Polly Craft Designs.

I really like the Truffles Father's Day images, especially since they come in 2 different colours. This is what I've come up with, so now I'd better go make another in the green for my own Dad.
