A Friend in Need....

Hi Everyone

How are you all doing - Ok I hope! I am very pleased to report that I have reached my target weight at Slimming World after 14 months - well chuffed!! Still had a bit of a gain this week but I'm still within my target weight. Anyway on with the crafting news.....unfortunately one of our friends was taken in to hospital this week - fingers crossed he is on the mend but of course I had to make a card. And here it is - I have the image saved as 'A friend in need' on my memory stick but I can't remember where I got the image from.... sorry!



The sentiment was a freebie from Birds Cards. I've coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

I hope you like him, I've heard that our friend does!

Hope to catch up with you all again soon

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello again everyone!

You all feeling in a romantic mood today?? No me neither haha - but I did make the effort to at least make a card. Always quite hard to do a Valentines card for a male I think but I found this cute image from Wee Stamps and thought it would be ideal!



Please ignore the really un-straight line at the bottom base layer - did that a bit wrong didn't I!! Good Job it's only staying in this house haha!

Hope Brent likes it!!

Bye for now

The Road to a Friend's House is Never Long

Hello Again

Sad day today as it sees the anniversary of my friend losing her son in a car accident. I always make sure that I send her a card on this day just so that she knows we are thinking of them all. We don't see each other as much as we should but when we do things are just like we saw each other yesterday! I've used the Sweet Cottage image from Saturated Canary and the greeting - which seems quite appropriate - is a freebie from Birds Cards. Here it is:-



And look at me I've managed to use pink!

Hope you like it too

See you soon

Thinking of You

Hi Everyone

Found out this afternoon that one of our neighbours passed away this week. She had been ill for a little while. We are not able to attend the funeral on Wednesday so we made a donation to the collection that the residents of our street have made and I've made a card to put through their door tomorrow.


Super quick card to make - the image is a digi stamp from Stitchy Bears and the sentiment is a freebie from Birds Cards.

I hope the family like it.

See you again soon

Saturated Canary - Wendy

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all well - We're in February already, time is just whizzing along!! Here is a card I've made for my friend's daughter using Wendy from Saturated Canary. Hope you all like her - let me know what you think.



I didn't put any flowers on this one I thought it might end up looking too busy!

Like this Papermania paperpad, glad Karen 'made' me buy it from The Range! Speaking of which I still have some vouchers to spend in there I'd better go back soon!!

Watch this space for another couple of cards very soon as Brent's birthday and Valentine's Day are not too far away!

Catch up soon
