Happy Easter Weekend

Afternoon peeps... hoping for a wee crafting this afternoon, Barry is away to the Footie, so peace perfect peace for a few hours.  Blogger/Internet Explorer is starting to really annoy me now, so apologies for not getting around to visiting everyone.   It either freezes or throws me out of sites before they are uploaded ...grrrr.   I thought it has been my computer for the pass few weeks, but it seems there quite a few of you experiencing the same so don't feel so guilty now ...lol..

We are starting to see more and mores lambs in the fields now, I don't know about the rest of you but they seem later this year than usual.  They are so cute and love watching them frolick about in their wee gangs and it is a definate sign that Spring has arrived and Summer is on it's way (fingers crossed soon as I have had to pop the heating back on!).

This card was made using some freebie papers and images from a crafting magazine whish I have tried to 3D up.  Green velvet ribbon, card candys and peeloffs are from stash.  Tools used is an embossing folder and oval & circle Nesties.  The challenges covered are:-

• Creative Card Crew  -  Spring
• Fab 'n' Funky Challenges  -  Emboss It
• My Mums Craft Shop Challenge  -  Animals

Hope you have a good weekend and hopefully I plan a few more posts before the weekend is out.

Spring has Sprung!

Morning peeps and a very happy Spring to you all.  We have been so, so lucky this week with this glorious weather, shame I was at work, but what a difference it does make to your day.  But as always, all good things must come to an end as it is going to turn next week, we are expecting snow this coming Monday/Tuesday!! Back to normal for us here then - Jumpers and Wellies ...lol...

Sorry I have blogged as of late due to a mixture of computer hiccups and we, at the Charity have been busy making some gorgeous wedding invites for a lovely couple's big day in June. 

 I have a few commissioned cards to do as well and I shall share them with your good selves as I do the and I should be getting creative again and start experimenting with some new toys I have acquired.  They have been shouting out from the corner of the room for months "Play with me!" 

This is one of the commissioned cards.  It has been years since I have done an Easter card, so I really had to get my thinking cap on.  I remenbered I had an old Sizzix Cross embossing folder somewhere so I hunted it out from the cupboard.  Other tools used was my Swiss Dots embossing folder, diecut swirls and Leaf Punch.  From stash was Card Candy, ribbon,  flowers and gemstones.  The challenges covered are:-
