50th Birthday

Hello everyone .. well i'm back after my holiday in Lanzarote, where my hubby and i  celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary , we had a great relaxing time and had lovely weather it was so nice to escape from the rain here,  i can't believe its 3 weeks ago when i was last on here and i am now looking forward to catching up with all your blogs to see what you've all been up to while i've been away

My card today is for friend at work for her 50th birthday , (she loves bright colours but unfortunately my camera didn't so the backing paper doesn't show its true colour )

Hello everyone hope you are all well and had a lovely Easter

I have neglected blogland the past week as i have been so busy getting things organised for our 30th wedding anniversary party this Saturday which i'm so looking forward to as we are having family that we haven't seen for over 10 years so it will be great to catch up 

i've also been making cards that need to be done before i jet off to Lanzarote next week for a nice weeks holiday with my lovely hubby, so i do apologies that i haven't been to visit your wonderful blogs .... anyway enough waffling on about me  and on with my card

My card today is one that a friend asked me to make for her to give to a man , she wanted it blank so she could put her own message in it

Mothers Day

Hi everyone hope you are all well today ,  i had a fab time at Harrogate on Saturday with my daughter in law and we both got some lovely goodies and a few bargains too, i got 8 gorgeous new LOTV stamps for mothers day off my lovely son's  and we also managed to get to watch quite a few demo's,

My card today is my Mums mothers day card,  she is so difficult to make cards for so i did this really simple card, she doesn't like anything fussy or cute n cuddly ,so it had to be flowers
