Valentine's Card

Quicky  post today - 

This is the Valentine's Card I made for my chubby, Hubby Eric.  We both love elephants, so I thought it was really appropriate when I saw the digi stamp from Just Inklined.

I used some paper which was a freebie from a magazine and also some hearts from my stash.

I used my Promarkers and also some chalk to colour this image.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges

Addicted to stamps -  Chalenge #82 - Make Your Mark

Crafty Calendar Challenge - Love is All Around 

I think the snow is about to come back on again,  It has been beautiful all day, really sunny and bright.  Going to make some dinner now - see you soon!

Just Inklined Cards

 I have been busy card-making.  I have so many images which have been printed out, or stamped, and I have never got round to colouring them.  I have a plastic shoebox full of them!!  I have made it my mission, to get them coloured, and then to get them onto cards!!  The card above is a lovely birthday image I think, as cupcakes are really popular now instead of a big birthday cake.  I used Dovecraft Teahouse papers, and metal corners from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The ribbon is from my stash.  As usual, the image is coloured with Promarkers.

I am going to say a couple of swear words - MEN'S CARDS lol!!!  

We all dislike making them don't we?  I think this image is fab, as, even if your man doesn't actually read, (like my hubby) he is bound to have some books of some description tucked away in a corner someplace!!

both these images are from The Next Big Think CD from JustInklined and it is packed with lots and lots of images of every kind imaginable!!  It can be bought here from  La Pashe where it is on special offer at the moment!

 Hello from a very cold and wet Scotland!!  Talk about April showers?  They are alive and kicking and living right here!! LOL!!! My washing doesn't know what it is doing.  It is hung up to dry, then it is taken in again, then it goes out again and then it comes in again.  Gave up today and I am keeping it indoors!! 

Here is this week's sketch from Let's Scrap.  I have picked photos of the boys and their Daddy in New Zealand.  They went to Mount Maunganui  in the Bay of Islands and visited the beach.  Corinne told me that the twins weren't very amused when their Daddy and Harrison went for a walk in the water and they got into a bit of a panic! Bless them! Oh how I wish I could be on that beach right now instead of suffering  all this rain!

 It was Greg's 30th Birthday on Thursday 5th April and we went out for a family meal to The Bothy in Perth.  We had a lovely meal and a lovely time and wee Jackson took part in pass the parcel with him as the parcel! LOL!!! Everybody wanted a wee cuddle.  

I had to share this photo of Marie with Jackson, as she moaned about having a Mummy Tummy and her hair was a mess and she had spots blah blah blah and then she walked in looking like this - stunning!!

 This is the card I made for Greg.  It uses car images called Wacky Wheels from Just Inklined.

 I made this a pop-up card and is the first one I have made like this.  I feel I could have done so much more with the card but because I am so tired at the moment I just couldn't get any ideas.

Marie, Willie, Jackson and I had a lovely afternoon in Alyth at my brother's house.  We met up with my niece Lesley and her husband Martin and their wee boy Olly and their baby Sophie who was born about 8 weeks before Jackson.  We wanted to get photos of the babies together, but it was so difficult to get them in a good mood at the same time!  Here are a couple which we managed to get.

 I like this one, it shows me and Marie and Jackson, and my sister-in-law Mary with Lesley and Sophie. 

They both look a bit dishevelled, but we didn't want to play around with them too much as they were both nice and quiet!

And finally................

My gorgeous wee boy in the suit which I knitted for him.  I could just eat him all up!  

Well I must go and get some cards made.  We have been asked to have a stall in May at a Coffee Morning, so need to get busy! Thanks for stopping and having a lookie!!

Cutie Pie Challenge

 I have made this card (above) to enter into the Teddy Bo Challenge, but guess what?  I was too late!  where does the time go?  Anyway I am also entering the same card into the Cutie Pie Challenge which is Pearls & Swirls.  It is a bit different from the usual cards I make, and I am still not sure if I like it or not! LOL!!!  the image is from Teddy Bo and I used paper from My Mind's Eye. The pearls came from a $2 dollar shop in New Zealand.  Oh how I wish I had bought more of them when I saw them!

This is a card which I have made for my niece who has just had a wee baby girl, Sophie Marie.  I have not been to see her yet, but we have arranged a visit for the first week in April.  Lesley my niece is 5 months younger than Marie, and I tool lots of pictures of the 2 of them together when they were little, so I am looking forward to seeing their two babies together and taking more photos!!  Definitely will be one for the scrapbook!  The image is from Just Inklined and is coloured with promarkers.  The ribbons and flowers are just from my stash.  Well, I must go as I am feeling dreadful and don't know if I have caught a bad head cold, or if it is Hay Fever.  My nose is just streaming and I keep sneezing.  I was fine one minute, then sneezing and drippy the next!  No layouts made this week, but I have plenty photographs of Jackson to make a start on his album.  Watch this space1 LOL!!!!
