It will soon be time for making Christmas cards again lol.<br />
A bit sad posting this page as it will be my last for the Cards Galore Design Team. I am finding it to hard to concentrate on it, along with every thing that is going on with my life at the moment. But there you go, such is life.<br />
<br />
This months Challenge can be any theme you wish the only stipulation is that it is a scrapbook page which has a photo, and incorporates the colour blue.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

This is a photograph of my Aunt and Uncle. It was taken in 1940. My Aunt lives next door to me and is a very sprightly 95 years young. We share a birthday, but I don't think I will be anywhere near as fit when I am her age. My Uncle, (my Mother's youngest brother) past away some 35 years ago. I love this photo. I think her dress and especially the train, is magnificent. I hope you like the LO I have digitally made using CAP. <br />

We get it all on top of our hill. The snow is coming down quite heavy again. I hate it. I had booked to go to the hairdressers today, first time since well before Christmas. I got up at 8.00, looked out the window, and promptly canceled my appointment. Oh well maybe next week.<br />
This is an anniversary card I made for my Daughter and her husband. The image and the background paper is from JS Dancing with Shadows cd. I hope you like it.<br />

You need to choose one of the DT examples & make it your own, you
can do a direct copy, simply use it as your inspiration! You can also
change the theme to make it your own<br />
When you upload your entry you must tell or ideally show us which DT
example you have used, so that we know when commenting on your blog.<br />
The prize will be a lovely 6x6 paper pad from Papermania. <br />
<br />
My example is a digi LO once again using Cap. The digi kit is called "A Very Plaid Christmas" Not that you would ever guess lol. The photo was taken Christmas 2011. It is my 2 gorgeous Great Nephews Ryan & Connor, and their Aunt Maria. (don't ask) I hope you like it and that you will join in with the challenge.x<br />

Well what a mixed bag this year has been. We started it off in early March by losing a very dear member of the family. Then the wedding of my lovely Son and the gorgeous Nina. We then then had a birth, our lovely wee Great nephew Ryan. So we had a Hatched Matched and Dispatched year, but in the reverse order.<br />
So I thought I would show you the last Card I made for this year, and the first card made for the next year. So we are off and running. Will try to keep ahead of trouble, and hope you all do the same. Happy New Year to all of my lovely Blogland friends. Here's hoping it is all you wish for and more. Thanks for keeping my spirits up when I have needed it. I'll raise my glass to you all <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="ga"><span class="hps">sláinte xxxx</span></span><br />

I used another of the stamps form the set Elaine bought me. I love them. This one is a much more delicate image and doesn't photo very well. But I think it is pretty. Again I used JS detail EP .<br />

I have to say I am quite pleased with it. The photo does not do it justice.<br />
Using versamark I stamped an image (one of a set that I was given by Elaine for my birthday) on to the mat side of a piece of regular tissue paper.. I then used some fine detail antique gold embossing powder from Joanna Sheen, then very carefully heated it. I then wrapped the image around large candle. Then wrapped this with a sheet of parchment paper. Then heated it until I could see it change colour. I then removed the parchment and buffed up the candle with a clean soft cloth, and voila.<br />

<br />
Glitter, cool wintery hues, snowy photographs & other wintery
exploits for the scrapbookers, or if you don't have that type of photos
then load them up with wintery embellishments
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So whether you go traditional, contemporary or completely different, we need to see <i>or at least 'the illusion of '</i> snow, frost or ice .... make use of those cool blues, lavender & pale pinks, creamy whites & dusky greys .... </div>
As always have fun with the theme !<br />

It was my Husbands 71st birthday. He was in less pain today so that helped. Kieron and Sarah came and bought their Dad some lovely pressies. Along with some lovely chocolates. One box of which we have already finished off. lol They were most definitely moorish. It was lovely to see them both together. It doesn't happen often. Sarah was not well but came anyway. I think she would walk on hot coals for her Daddy. I am looking forward to tomorrow now. Kieron and his lovely wife Nina will be coming to lunch. This is the card I made for Terence just a simple card. He doesn't like fussy, and Mens cards are so hard to do anyway<br />

I used an inkylicious stamp I have had for a while. along with an oriental lady. I have had this stamp for a couple of years but never used it. The roses are made using a punch and Centura Ice white pearlised paper.. The card turned out quite well. but I wasn't able to get a good photo. the light just kept bouncing back at me.<br />

<br />
Hello everyone
I am really thrilled to have received two awards from a fellow blogger Trudi (TrudiScrumptious), The Sunshine Award and The Lovely Blog Award. (These are the first I have ever received)<br />
Both of these awards come with some rules:<br />
I am to publicly thank the people who gave them to me.
I am to share some information about myself<br />
I am to nominate some of my favorite blogs<br />
I am to comment on their blogs to let them know I’ve awarded them.<br />
The One Lovely Blog award asks me to share 7 facts about myself while the Sunshine Award has some specific questions for me to answer.<br />
The Sunshine Award questions will effectively cover the 7 facts about me.<br />
<br />
Favorite color: Blue<br />
Favorite animal: Baby Elephant<br />
Favorite number: 13<br />
Favorite drink: Brandy & Lemonade<br />
Facebook or Twitter: definitely Facebook<br />
Good book or good movie: Book<br />
Giving or getting gifts: Giving especially to family and close friends<br />
My passion: Without a shadow of a doubt it is my family<br />
Favorite day: with my son and daughter on their own.<br />
Favorite flower: I don’t have a favourite I love all flowers.<br />
<br />
Well, hopefully I haven't bored you, now it's my turn to nominate these awards to some bloggers that have not only inspired me, but also supported me when I've needed it and we all need a bit of that at sometimes, so without much further ado I announce:<br />
<br />
1. http://glitterarti1.blogspot.co.uk/<br />
2. http://jayellecards.blogspot.co.uk/<br />
3. http://doodlesandscrapsofme.blogspot.co.uk/<br />
I have given these 3 lovely ladies these awards because. Of many reasons.<br />
Jane for giving me the 1st chance as a DT member. She does so much when not well.<br />
Barbara For her crafty inspiration. She also pushed me to do a blog.<br />
Janet for being Janet.<br />
Barbara Janet and Elaine ( who doesn't have a blog for me to award.) Have been more than friends to me over the last few years. They have helped me through some unbelievably bad times. They are more like sisters, and I love them loads xxx

Even though I didn't know what I was doing. Maya, one of the DT for Cards Galore Scrapbooking set a mini challenge. Which anyone can enter. No prize given, just for fun.
I decided I would us an old Photo of my Mother and Father in Law, on their front step in Buncrana. I hope you like this one. Please leave me a comment. xx

I just had to do one of his big sister Kate and daddy Declan.
Both my nephew and his wife Emma are BA Pilots, but I bet they are flying higher than ever now the family is complete. I took this photo at my Son's wedding. Which was a few days before Kate's 3rd birthday. When they were about to cut the cake, wee Kate started singing happy birthday. Everyone joined in lol

This is my brand new Great Nephew Ryan much wanted and will be very much loved by all. Especially his big sister 3 year old Kate Olivia.
If he turns out to be half as handsome as his Daddy, he will be gorgeous.

My aunt's Sister in Law passed away. 28th August. I was asked to do the Order of Service and the Memorial cards. 70 cards altogether. I have managed to complete them all, and they were collected today. She had been ill for a long time so it was a blessing when she went. Age 90 years. A lovely lady.<br />
