Update and ramblings

Hello crafty friends I hope your keeping well! So my new year resolution about blogging went well..... I've been so busy with the girls and other things that I'm just finding it hard visiting you all and although I would love to spend everyday browsing your blogs it's impossible at the moment so I'm going to apologise for you lovely people who leave comments and I haven't replied back I'm so sorry, I wish I had more time. 

I've still been crafting and finding a bit of time some evenings so that's something. 

Poppy is still not sleeping through so I'm sure once she is I will have a bit more energy and can spend more time visiting you!

I thought I would show a few cards I made recently but I just want to thank you all for being so great!

Lots of cards

Hello friends I hope you are all having a good start to the week. I'm just popping in with some cards I recently made.

This fat cat makes me chuckle every time I coloured him in with some copics and made a watercolour background to pop him on. 

This elephant is super sweet and comes in pretty handy to use on different cards.

Ok I still have a thing on monsters and honestly thought my obsession had gone until I found this one ha ha!

This last card I made I used lots of different companies and put them all on one card, this giraffe is so sweet and will be great for children's cards too. 

I'm hoping to catch up with everyone this week and having a good look at your blogs! 

Have a fun week!

Someone special

Hello lovely friends hurrah I have blogged a second post :) I am seriously slacking with catching up with your comments and I'm sorry so that's my next job. I read them all and really appreciate your kind words. 

I hope your year has started really well and stays well for all of you.

I made this shaker card last night so I thought I must put it up on my blog (new year resolution) so here it is:

Shaker cards seem to take me forever to make but I think they are so much fun to make and that's what's it all about, sometimes I forgot that crafting should be fun and that's why we started this hobby in the first place because it's fun and therapeutic and you get to give someone a nice card at the end of it.

I will be popping over to your blogs over the next few days and saying hi it seems such a long time since I caught up with you all and thank you all so much for visiting me I hope you have a great Sunday

Butterflies, flowers and a bike

Hello friends I'm really sorry for slacking on my blog but I have been so busy I hope your all ok and enjoying the beautiful autumn.

Just thought I would pop in with a few cards I made recently. I have been loving heat embossing recently so I added this to my cards and now I have a new obsession.

I made this anniversary card by adding a heat embossed background on vellum and also embossed the greeting.

This card I made I decided to do a background by heat embossing and I also watercoloured the flowers.

And the last card I watercoloured the  stamp and just did a small greeting on vellum.

I'm going to be visiting you all over the next few days and I can't wait to finally catch up!

Thanks for popping by I hope you have a great day
