Happy Hoppy Easter!

I spent some of my day making these yummy delights....

Hope you all have a lovely Easter Weekend and don't eat too many eggs! lol!

Cupcakes + Shopping =

a lovely day out!

My lovely Mum & I went to town yesterday for a belated birthday day out for me. We started off our day at this lovely colourful place and this is what we devoured...mmmm!!

Triple Chocolate


Deep Dark Chocolate Orange and Chilli


Although they were lovely, they were a bit on the dry side and if I do say so myself, mine are much more delicious! In fact I'm off to make some Easter Cupcakes :)

Also I couldn't resist taking a piccie of this: A Cupcake in a Teacup!



We ended the day with watching this:



I have to say that I really enjoyed watching it, loved the 3D aspect of it.

The lovely spring weather we are having today has made me have a spring clean of my blog and I made a new blog header :O)

Rain rain go away....

Just my luck! I'm on holiday for over a week and of all weeks it has to rain (even the possibility of SNOW, how I hate that word)!!!!!! Oh well, nothing for it than to hide away in my craft room :)

Today I am revealing the cards I made for Cleo Crafts April Kit. The kit is seriously yummylicious!!! If you fancy a kit for under a tenner that includes all the latest paper line's and embellishments then head on over here!!

Right, off for some lunch and then back to crafting... wish I could have a week off ever week ;)

Cleo Crafts April Kit Sneak Peeks

Happy Saturday!

I've been working on Cleo Crafts April Kit and thought I would share some of the sneek peeks with you...

I will be revealing the designs VERY soon. If you would like to subscribe to the kits then head on over here. The paper line is American Crafts Letterbox and there are add-on's too :)

Ok, who stole the time?

I can't believe where the last 6 months have gone!!??!! Christmas was a busy time of year for us, away for New Year then planning for my BIG 3-OH birthday party (which still hasn't happened) then just before my birthday my mum quite seriously ill in the beginning of Jan and it really has been one thing after another and it took it's tole on me, I've been off sick the last week with a horrible flu thing. Anyway the other week I set down to make this:

My FIRST Bind-it-all album!!! I've had my BIA for a couple of years but could never get to grips with it but I set down and had a play.

I remembered seeing a post years ago about a memory jar & journal on http://www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk/ and thought this was the perfect thing to make for my Mum for Mother's Day. The reason being she had a seizure and she lost her memory for a while (fully re-gained now, thank you Lord!) You fill the jar with little questions regarding their life and they write it down in the journal, e.g. things about their wedding, their years growing up, favourite school subjects etc...
The best thing is I shall be able to look through the journal in later years and have something special!

Here's the card that went along with it, the papers used is the name of my mum :)

Thanks for popping by :)

Cleo Crafts Card Making Kit

Another month, another kit - Wooooo Hooooo!!!!!

Louise & Tara at Cleo Crafts have the October kit up for grabs on their site. It's such a fun, fun, fun kit, I just love the monster paper!

Here's a glimpse of what's included in the kit:



And here are my cards from which I made from the kit.






It's such a great buy and at only £9.99 you can't go wrong! Also within the kit you get instructions on how to make the cards I made above and also the super-talent Leann's cards - visit Leann's blog here.

Aaarrrrgghh where has time gone?

Sorry bloggers that I haven't been blogging, life has been very busy. I'm taking 2 photography courses as well as other things.

I have a few cards that I have made in the last month that I have been meaning to share with you.

First up is a Golden Wedding Card for friends of ours.




I had a go at stitching on card using my little sewing machine and I'm very pleased with my 1st go. I'm sooo not a sewer but think this has prompted me to have a go at making over things with it.

Next card was a birthday card for a for a lovely lady in a Birthday Club that I belong to on Crafts by Carolyn



And the last card I want to show you is an engagement card that I was commissioned to make from a friend at work.



Please note that there is a 20% discount on DewDrop Craftz Digiz until midnight this Sunday (11th).
Discount is automatically applied in the basket too, so no code to remember.

I will be back to show you some examples coloured in of the Digiz that are on offer so keep an eye out.

Back from the Emerald Isle

Got back yesterday from our holiday in Ireland. Not much of a holiday as my mum was quite poorly all the time we were there, I need a holiday to get over this one but relieved to have today off from work to just chill. We did manage a couple of trips out at the very end and one trip was to Cookstown to go and visit Doodle Craft, it was so lovely and full of lovely things. I bought a couple of stamps and a new trimmer.

While I was away Cleo Crafts have launched their new card making kit, visit the shop to see what's included.

Here is one of my cards made using the kit.




You can see more cards and instructions on how to make them here.

The Kits are priced at £9.99 plus £1 postage for subscribers... and subscribers will also get 10% off any website purchases! Please email any requests for more info to Louise at info@cleocrafts.co.uk
