I'm working today, but I have a week off then and we're off to Edinburgh...can't wait!

Have a lovely Sunday!

Little Blue Butterflies!

Good evening!

I have a lovely little card I made last night to show you...

I have simply used the Bitty Butterfly Punch, Pool Party, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Blue card squares and some Pool Party Seam Binding.

This is my first 'double' bow that I found instructions for on Pinterest here. I did mine on a bow maker though...very easy and would easily make a triple too! :)#

The sentiment is Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Pool Party, Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise

For my friend :)

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums in the UK!

I had a fab day yesterday...I took Keiran roller skating, my new washer was delivered, and Keiran and I started making his Easter egg for the school competition. Oh and I managed to make a few cards too! We're off to Knowsley Safari Park today, after church. I have to do a reading for the first time....I'm a bit nervous to be honest lol!

Anyway, here is one of the cards I made, which I will be sending to my best friend for her birthday on Tuesday.

I have used some of the gorgeous paper from the Print Poetry papers from the Spring/Summer catalogue.

The sentiment is from the Precious Butterflies set from the last hostess sets...love it!

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!! I hope you've enjoyed your day, whether you've been spoilt rotted or not!

I have spoilt myself...my new batch of SU! goodies arrived this morning! So that put a smile on my face, I can tell you!

I've been out with Mum, Dad & Keiran today as it was my Dad's birthday, but I've had a little play tonight...

I have used my new Hearts A Flutter bundle from the new spring/summer catalogue. I loved the set when I first saw it! The paper is Print Poetry, also from the new catalogue.

Right...off to post Keiran's birthday card he made for his Grandad!

Night!

White Butterflies!

Hi again!

Yup...2 posts in one afternoon! Well the last card I made really got me thinking about the Flutterby Wednesday challenge this week which is All White, so I decided to make another card!

I have used the Embosslits Beautiful Wings folder again, the Lacy Brocade EF, and the stamp is part of the Sale-A-Bration Bloomin' Marvellous set.

A closer look

I have used the layout at CAS(E) This Sketch to build my card, and I finished with a few tiny pearls from my stash. 

I have also made this card with the Less Is More challenge in mind, which is Friendship. I am very late with it this week as I had my best friends visiting this weekend from Holland, Cambridge, Preston, Rochdale and t'other side of Bolton! They know how much they mean to me, but this is dedicated to them anyway...love you girls! :)
