Happy Birthday Tess.

Happy Sunday afternoon all.

I have a card with a matching bag for you today.  The bag is a pre-existing gift bag. (I have added the flowers)

The card was made in a rush.. My daughter has gone off to Tess's birthday party this afternoon. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the card. When I saw my daughter had already wrapped the present and put it in the gift bag. I thought .... Looks like I will be making a red card.

Card made using the following:

Paper:            Very Vanilla Stampin Up.   Red Cardstock. Stampin Up.
Sentiment        From my stash.
Flowers          Kaisercraft
Bling               Local craft store.
Ribbon            From my stash


I have to mention that the flowers were included in my order (as a surprise) that I received from Bizzy Becs,    I love little surprises.


Have a great afternoon.   

Hubby is presently preparing tonight's roast.  Mmmmmm ..... Looking forward to that.

Lavender and Lace

Hi Everyone,
What a great day to be crafting and blogging. The rain has been coming down all day and heavy rain expected overnight.  We really need the rain. A few more of these days will be fantastic.

Please note that I have used some Lavender from our garden. I have to mention this, as we don't get many things right in the garden, but we are very proud of our lavender.  I love looking at blogs with nice gardens. Have you seen   The House in the roses and The painted garden  I would love gardens like these.!!
.
I have made a Card and Chocolate box cover for a very good friend of mine. It is Janine's birthday. I have known Janine for many years.  We do not catch up nearly enough. .

The images are sourced from the wonderful Marie's Freebies blog. Pop on over to the blog there are some really beautiful images.

I will enter tthe card and chocolate cover in the following challenges:

WOYWW 10/11/10

Hi Everyone,

I am joining WOYWW  week.  If you haven't seen this blog before, make sure you pop on over and have a look around.

Well it's been a couple of Wednesday's since I have joined this blog party.   I have actually been cleaning out my craft room over the last two weeks.  I am now able to sit at the table without having anything under the table at my feet,  I am showing the create sign , as I have had part of this sign on the wall, and part fallen down on the floor.  I might feel a bit more creative now my sign is altogether and not scattered all over the place.  

Have a nice Wednesday,
