Happy retirement my friend.............

Hello all my friends out there in Blogland I just wanted to share this with you all as last week was my last one to work with my friend and colleague Linda she has put off retiring for a few months and decided enough is enough. I will miss her greatly as we had been together for 13 years with no cross words exchanged (now we sound married) and quite a few laughs she is the one of the few people I have really enjoyed working with, here is the lady in the middle.

and here is the mess I made making this card it had to be really special ............ so special I used my special Daisey D papers, your probably thinking why the fuss about the mess well I wasn't suppose to be in the craftroom yet!

now for the card which I think looks pretty good inside the small card is pictures of her beloved Donkeys that she loves.

I would like to enter it here:

Karma ?...............

Hello everyone just thought I would do a little post without photo's, challenges & cards just an apology or two, it seems I've been walking on egg shells for so long now I think my Karma is OMELETTE'S. I need to say sorry to someone who might take me on my word & look at this blog and to anyone else I may have upset unknowingly, I love blogging and don't always have anything to say or show & it seems that this could effect you in the future also if I post a poorly looking pic of a card I'm sorry I use my phone which also effects your future in blogland. I started this blog to show my cards have a little fun with challenges but it sometimes erks people. I also have to say sorry if I seem abrupt that's not my way but I wont be walked over & I wont let other's be either, I may have gone on a bit & feel like saying sorry but that's all I seem to be doing these days .......................... so SOZ

Here we go .............. again

Well good morning everyone I hope you are all keeping well & in the pink, the title says it all we have had another busy week-end we had a little tea party for Grace so her Aunties & Taylor could see her to give her her presents. Tony has been a bit poorly with blood poisoning, and the BUILDERS are back for the last time........ I hope, I also hope all this work has been worth it here's one or two photo's before I get onto the challenge post.

My new Turn around & Taylor

Grace, Ewan & Taylor

Sorry I know it's boring but these three do not get to play very often so needs must & all that.
Now for the lovely challenge over at OSCC as many of you may know the challenge for this week is " Let's Bake a Cake" as always not a hard challenge, our lovely Sponsor is Bugaboo Digi Stamps.

Now for my card which also goes on because I want you to see I have used Acetate to float her & also 3D it too, pearls are from Hobby House & cut down, Papers are K&Co which is very old stash as is the ribbon.

I have a small confession the card on the OSSC blog wasn't finished (sorry) but the top pick is & this is where I'm challenging it:

No Flowers

Good afternoon bloggers all around the globe what a wonderful week-end we have had this week with the weather, as I was saying in my last post we have been very busy taking advantage of the weather & having the Grand children for the night + friend first it was the park & back to ours for tea. Then Sunday it was over to the Sand Pit we was going to the Paddling Pool too but it was closed for cleaning out due to broken Glass which happens quite frequently due to some people thinking it would be fun to throw bottle into the pool, this makes my blood boil as it's for small children who can play safely in the water instead of the beach ( which is where we ended up).

Sorry I'm a bit late for this Challenge over at OSCC which is a really easy one it's NO FLORAL EMBELLISHMENTS what fun that's an easy one my Hubby said as did my Son maybe I should have challenge them to a card :) the lovely Sponsor this week is Fred She Said Designs

Well here is my card I hope you like it it's a Waterfall card, you can't beat some of the old favourites can you & I used all old craft stuff to make this card.

This is where I am challenging them:

I will give you a sneak peak hope you don't find it boring.
