About Me

My photo
Perth, Perthshire, United Kingdom
Welcome to my little corner of the World! I live in Perthshire Scotland with my wonderful husband Eric. We have a daughter, Corinne who is married to Rob and lives in New Zealand, with their boys Harrison and twins Hadley and Dylan. Marie who has a wee boy Jackson, and Greg and his wife Kim, their wee girl Freya, even smaller baby boy Freddie and dog Buddy. I am happy when I am in my craft room, and I love making cards for Charity and also for commissions. I love scrapbooking, and I get my inspiration from my Grandchildren. They are the subjects in most of my Scrapbooking layouts. I have just started to do Mixed Media work, and I am loving it!! I have just started a craft group at our local Church centre, aptly called Saints and Scissors Club! If you can't find me, I will be in my craft room, buried under tons of stash lol!

Crafty Catz Challenge # 21st April

 Hello again 

It is time once again for the Crafty Catz Challenge.  We are sponsored this time by 

Last Minute Manda





The digital stamp I have used is called 

Monkey Birthday

Here is my card 


I made an 8" x 8" card and coloured the image with my Polychromos.  I wish I had made his fur a bit lighter though as he blends in with the cake too much. In my head, that cake is a vanilla sponge with chocolate bits in it and coated in a chocolate ganache!!!!

I am trying to lose some weight at the moment, so even colouring this cake made me want to indulge in  Daft eh?

I'll need to go now, as I am babysitting this afternoon.  Such fun!  Here is my little Grandson Hayden, enjoying his cupcake for his 1st  Birthday on Tuesday

The twist this wee is "For a Child" and the image I have used is Like Daddy

I have made a very clean and simple card with this image, and I will be giving the card to my grandson Freddy for his birthday in June.  It isn't a very good photo though, as it looks like there are lots of wrinkles on the paper.  Not sure what is going on there!!

Okay, it's over to you again!  Make a card for a child and load it up onto the Crafty catz weekly challenge blogspot.com
