Little Louie, Louie, Louie

Hello Blog land, well did you think that I had abandoned my blog again,  well fear not I am back, just been a we bit a busy, and the times I want to post Hubby has been using the computer.  I often have to say to him can I get a shot of computer so I can finish a card, and he obliges, but I don't think I would get same reaction to create a post.  

Happy Birthday "Little Louie"

Today's creation is a birthday card, a Less is more sort of card,

what I mean is clean and simple.  Don't like to overdo a card, especially when posting - the cost of stamps nowadays!  

I just love this bear

I'm enjoying posting my blogs, just hopefully there is someone out there enjoying my creations, and of course my waffle!  Two posts in one day, well I thought I would also blog some beading.  In October last year I joined a local beading group, which I am really enjoying, so thought I would share my beading creations on here as well.

So this is the very first bracelet I made, amazing to think that this is made using a needle, thread and beads.  Sometimes I look at it and can't believe that I actually made this!

Below a close up of the bracelet on my writs!

Well I better go, I really should be making cards!

It's A Boy!!!

Hello to everyone in blog-land this lovely sunny Thursday evening. I wander if the Sun would be kind enough to stay for the weekend? Enough about the weather, get on with today's post.

A Baby Card for my Husbands friend from work, who recently had a Baby Boy.

Ingredients:

And for such a Special Card, I made a box  which you can see below.

I had left over card, from the box, so made a matching tag, unfortunately the photo is not really letting you see the tag!

Ingredients for Box:

Bottom of Box:  white Card, 

Top of Box: Blue card

I used Cuttlebug embossing folders, swiss dots, to emboss the BOY letters which I cut using  Sizzix Alphabets.  I also embossed the tag with Cuttlebug Button  border.

Home Bakes

A treat for Saturday!

At least they look like scones, and even better they actually taste like scones.

My mum is an excellent baker, I thought I was clever and would make a batch of scones using a recipe I had copied from mum, however the scones didn't rise, in fact they spread so much that they all touched.  They tasted lovely.  I took a sample to Mum, to see where I went wrong!  Found out it was a recipe she had written in her book, but never tried!  When my dad saw them, he thought I did a "grand job" with my shortbread.  

I have practiced since then, and am so proud every time they actually look like scones.

Anyone for a round of Golf?

Good Evening, really I should be saying good night, and going off to my bed, but I had already typed up this blog, and somehow lost it, so determined to post something before I hit the land of ZZZzzzzz!

The brief for the Card, Uncle is 60, Beer or Golf!

So I opted for a few images from Digital Stamp Boutique:

Alf Playing Golf & Sports Accents - Golf Ball Accent

So here is a preview of the main image!

Coloured using Prisma Pencils

I printed a futher image, and cut out the Golfing Trolley 

and layered this using sticky pads, I did the same with the oversized golf ball!

The Finished Card!

BP is from Pink Petticoat, along with from my stash

Square Nestie 

and edges highlighted with chalk.

What do you think?

I am going to enter him into Digital Stamp Boutique August monthly challenge!
