Snippet scavenge

So as I visited the house of hearts this weekend for the annual pancake championship, I thought what better opportunity to procure some stamps and make my Christmas embellishments?
And to show my gratitude I thought I would help mummy Gibbs by using some of her pesky snippets from the big snippet box.  I think it took me half an our to go through and choose, her snippet collection is greater than my stash, but I waded through the goodies to make one of this months birthday cards, though I think I didn't really make much impact on the box :)
So here it is, the image I know is penny black, but the papers are anyone's guess :)

Birthday Bees

A quick share of my birthday make for aunty Jo, many hap-bee returns :)
The fab backing papers are from the wonderful Funky Hand, and I lurve them too.

Congratulations

So finally I have time to craft after all the stress of wedding stationary, and then a few busy social weekends, but now there is once again time for birthdays, and of course getting ready for Christmas! :)

But before all that a big Congratulations to my baby brother and his girlfriend, who got engaged (without consulting Me).  I have had to have words as I found out via Facebook (other social networks are available) but we are all very pleased about officially extending our tribe :)

Happy Birthday Sal

The first of the June birthdays (and there are quite a few, not to mention Fathers Day) my first brother's girlfriend has just turned 25, which makes me feel slightly less old than I did last month, not that I think 30 is old, but sometimes after digging for 8 hours it does feel it! :-)

Always the girly girl, this gave me the chance to use up some of my pink scrap and a fab penny black image :-)

Sunday morning play

So with all the lurvly sunshine a lie in seems to be impossible, so why not spend the time crafting?

I have had a great time using up some scraps and playing with some of my birthday treats :)

Birthdays

So today is not only my 30th, but also two of my very good friends birthdays too.  This is the first time in 9 years where we have been apart (they are enjoying sunny Spain) but i sent their cards and presents out with them.

Happy Birthday girls, see you soon

Xx

Mothers Day

So now that it has passed, I can finally share the cards that I made for my mummies this year!
One is good, two are better, I may see if I can collect a few more :)

Having put most of my crafty bits away I have discovered the wonder of digi stamps :) And as mummies are special they also get my special hunkydory card too.
