Roses Challenge Feb 2012

Hi bloggers,

Its been so busy in my house, once I knew I was putting my home up for sale, I knew I had to make my home presentable, putting away family photos, cleaning up my craft room, and turning it back into a games room, this is why I've not been crafting, as its all boxed up.  Well the good news is, I've sold my home, but as it only sold this week, they tell me I have to have one more open house which is this weekend, then I can get back into my boxes and play with some of my goodies I got for Christmas, and start crafting again, I've been really missing my card making.

Now, onto this months challenge, yes I'm a little late .. this month it was my turn to host the challenge and I challenged the Roses to a birthday card, as you can never have too many.  I made my card for a special friend, she's not received it yet but she will when I get a minute to see her.

Please take the time to check out the other Roses....

Roses Challenge - Jan 2012

Hi bloggers,

Oh its so great to be back with the Roses, they are such a great bunch of talented ladies.  This months challenge has been bought to us by Kym, and she has asked us to create a wintery card with the shades of blue, snow, snowmen etc.  My stamp is Warm & Cozy Christmas - by Gina Kay, and I've coloured my image with copies and used liquid appliqué to create the snow, how effective is this!, I've used my snowflake embossing folder and spellbinders labels sixteen.

The 'Roses' are truly talented, so please be sure to hop over to there blogs and take a look!

Birthday Wishes

Hi bloggers,

What is a happening to the wonderful summer we are supposed to be having!.. I've spend more time indoors that out, and after the thunderstorm last night, today is a bleak day, good to be indoors and catch up on the blogs I've neglected and create a few cards, as I've quite a few birthdays in the next few weeks,  so I've made this sweet birthday card, papers are from MME Lost and Found - blush, I've loving these papers, that I really don't want to chomp into them (LOL), sentiment is GK, and I've used Heartfelt Creations posy patch dies to create my flower, added a bit of antique lace.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

* Annabelle Stamps - Anything Goes
* Winder Wonderland - Birthday Card

Have a great week!

My New Grandson

Hi Bloggers,

I know I've not been around, but things have been quite hectic over the last 10 weeks, with my daughters pregnancy, she's been in and out of hospital, and I've been minding her other two boys, whilst going to work and running two households.... anyway all's good now,  I'd like to introduce you to Mason John, born 4 January,  little brother to Jack 6 and Cooper 3, 2 weeks premature, and weighing in at 8'11, good size, hate to think what he would have weighted full term!

I didn't even manage to send out a single christmas card, and today is the first time back on the blog, and I have to say it took me a while to get into it!... now off to get a little inspiration.

Hope you all had a wonderful christmas with family and friends...

Happy New Year!

Love Kerrie x
