Lovely Day

I had a lovely day today. 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

The topper is from a Joanna Sheen cd. The words are very special to me. We have to hang on to our memories. One day it may be all we have.

A little Art Deco

These are two cards I made for a 70th birthday order. Also one for my daughter for her wedding anniversary. I quite like Art Deco. These are some from Debbie Moore.

Sarah's Birthday

I made this card for Sarah's birthday. 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.

Halloween in The Trilogy Cupboard

Hi all It has been ages since I have blogged. ( I still think that sounds so rude lol)  This months challenge is for the spooky Halloween. Which I do not like at all. But entering in to the spirit of the theme. I have done a digi page using Purples to compliment the colour of wee Maria's spooky costume. I do hope you Like my effort. and that you come along to the cupboard and join in with the challenge. It would be lovely to see more Digital pages on there.

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)
 Both of these awards come with some rules:
 I am to publicly thank the people who gave them to me. I am to share some information about myself
I am to nominate some of my favorite blogs
 I am to comment on their blogs to let them know I’ve awarded them.
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.
The Sunshine Award questions will effectively cover the 7 facts about me.

Favorite color: Blue
Favorite animal: Baby Elephant
Favorite number: 13
Favorite drink: Brandy & Lemonade
Facebook or Twitter: definitely Facebook
Good book or good movie: Book
Giving or getting gifts: Giving especially to family and close friends
My passion: Without a shadow of a doubt it is my family
Favorite day: with my son and daughter on their own.
Favorite flower: I don’t have a favourite I love all flowers.

 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:

1. http://glitterarti1.blogspot.co.uk/
2. http://jayellecards.blogspot.co.uk/
3. http://doodlesandscrapsofme.blogspot.co.uk/
 I have given these 3 lovely ladies these awards because. Of many reasons.
Jane for giving me the 1st chance as a DT member. She does so much when not well.
 Barbara For her crafty inspiration. She also pushed me to do a blog.
 Janet for being Janet.
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
