Mothers Day.....

Morning, hope you are all well and a big welcome to my new followers, thank you for your lovely comments they are inspirational and keep me motivated.

I didn't get much done yesterday as my daughter had the builders in plastering Ethans room, guess who will be roped in to decorate it......yep you guessed, well anyway I was house and grandson sitting as the builders hadn't fininshed so I got to watch TV, play football in the garden and play at Peter Pan inside Ethans tent all day, basically there is just enough room in it for Ethan and half of me, so my bottom just sticks out.....lol, what a sight that must be, he thinks its great fun my poor joints don't agree. The things you do for your Grand children.

For todays post I've made another Mothers Day card featuring one of Sylvia Zets sweet images this one is called Wee Florist, I've coloured it in with Flex and Promarkers, the papers are from First Edition and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Morning peeps firstly thank you all for your kind  and supportive comments about my daughter,shes back home and resting if that is at all possible with a 3 year old, but hes great for cuddles, secondly whats happened to the weather, rained all day on Thursday, yuk......don't like the wet stuff and thirdly I went for a health check that the local docs invited me to, and apart from having slightly raised cholesterol  I'm not in too bad a shape .......lol, she gave me a diet sheet telling me which foods to avoid but when I said I worked for Thorntons she said that was ok because the chocolates are yummy, although I've got a slight feeling that they are on the foods to avoid list.
Anyway todays card is similar  to last weeks card in as much that I've used the same sweet image from Wee Stamps called Silver Fairy. I've gone for similar colours again, I tend to use the same colours for a time before I move onto the next ones, I'm like that with food I'll have the same sandwich for dinner for weeks until I get fed up with it......I guess I'm just weird.!!!! don't all agree at once please.
The papers are from the Polkadoodle Cd Magical winter part 1, I lurvvvvve these grey lilac colours and are perfect for any occassion. The theme this week for the Polkadoodle challenge is mythical creatures so you can join in with your faries, unicorns, dragons etc.I've made a shaker card, not done one of these before, I used a lovely vintage chunky glitter for the inside and the flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.So don't forget to join in the fun this week.

I shall be in bits all day hoping that she is ok and I know that she is going to be so upset as she has been all week.Its horrible seeeing your child suffer even if she is 28, she'll always be my baby and I wish I could take her pain away.
I've been a busy beaver this week making cards to keep my mind occupied and this is one I made yesterday, when I saw this sweet cutie on Sylvia Zets blog I just had to have her........so sweet !!!,the image is called Hazel the Witch and shes too darn cute to spook I love all the details in the image and that little Vampire bat is adorable, I've coloured the image with Prismas and added Diamond Stickles around the edge.

Afternoon peeps hope you are all having a fabbie weekend, thought I'd post a card this afternoon as its motor racing on the TV.......a must see by hubby on Sundays, not into it myself its the droning noise, it fair puts me to sleep, so before I take a Nana nap I thought I'd better get typing.I coloured this Wee image by Sylvia Zet whilst I was on holiday and I've been playing with the LO for the past week, I don't know whether you guys do the same but I usually have several cards on the go in various stages as I can't just do one, well I very rarely make a card from start to fininsh in one sitting. The image is called Silver Fairy as you can see I've gone for dusty grey lilacs for the colouring using Prisma pencils and galmour dust for the glitter highlights. The papers are from Polkadoodles and Elusive images now Chocolate Baroque. Swirls are Marianne dies, flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts. The edge of the image has been distressed with Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender and then Stardust stickles added to parts of the edge.Underneath the edge of the image there is a heart shaped doiley which was misted with Tattered Angels glimmer mist.
