Candy Time

Just a little quickie just to say HI and hope everyone is well in the land of Blog, I must say I had a really good week-end I really enjoyed myself at Doncaster at the Summer crafting show. I would like to tell you all about my friend Kate's Candy but I think you should pop over there and check it out:

I'll be back later in the week to post what I have been making see you soon

Lizzy's card

Good morning to all my Fellow bloggers I hope the weather is being kind to you all, I haven't been here for a while as I have been trying my hand at other things. I had an email from the lovely people from Virgin Media informing me that from 15th June I will no longer be able to Google using my Ntlworld email, how rude so I now have to set up another email for Google how many more people are going to have this problem?
Today I thought I would share a card I made for my friend Lizzy for her Daughters wedding, usually I'm very critical about my cards but this one I quite like and I also made a box too.

I would like to thank Jodie from Oz for the inspiration for this card

This is where I have been inspired:

Memory box die - Precious Hearts
Whimsey Stamps and Shapeology die (bunting)
Hobby House - Flat back pearls from Sailor crew and Life's a Beach Kit
Peel-offs (name) coloured with Copic pens

This is Taylor he is Planet mad he lives and breathes Planets think he should spend a day with Brian Cox I said to Taylor you'll be going to School soon his reply was yes and I will teach them about the Planets.

He said "the Universe has exploded Nannie"

We have been retreating .............. so to speak

Well my girls and I went to the Crafty Retreat a couple of Sundays ago with Taylor who really enjoyed it I thought I would do a new Plaque for the house. Long ago before we bought the house it was called May Cottage and thought it would be nice to rename it that, I went with an Idea of how I wanted it and did a layout on a black surface for inspiration.

I will get this finished when I have finished practicing painting flowers, these are what the others have produced:

Laura's

Taylor's planet plate

Grace's hedgehog

Ewan's hedgehog

So as you can see everyone seemed to have fun Ewan and Grace have had theirs glazed and cooked now I will show you what they look like when I pick them up.
