Happy birthday

Hello everyone, 
I hope you are all well, things not bad this end. I am posting this tonight as busy day ahead tomorrow. 

There's a family birthday lunch so all out for a good feed! Then a nice afternoon at home followed by birthday dinner and cake for the ones who can't get off work.
Here is the card that was waiting to be made on Wednesday - I quite like it.

Will be another one of the Mother's day cards to be made.
I used a free paper pad from Cardmaking and Papercraft I think from ages ago.
The stamp is Milly - Just for you by LOTV as is the sentiment.
I coloured the image with Copics and Promarkers and blinged it up with a Quickie Glue pen and Glamour Dust on the butterfly, the spots on her top and the buttons.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Thank you all for your visits to my little site and I really enjoy reading your comments.
Have a lovely day today and if I'm not back later have a lovely weekend.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for all your visits last week. I had a lovely journey around the crafty desks of the world. It's all the fault of Julia over at The Stamping Ground.  Four years ago she started showing her desk to some blogging friends and now hundreds of messy crafters display their desks to the world.
I finished the wreath I started last week.  There's a picture at the bottom. Though, after canvassing opinion, I will be adding a bit of glitter to it.
As for my desk, you lot are a bad influence on me, I am ashamed to admit to not tidying my desk after a session!!!! Still should be better next week I hope.
Photo, this week from another side, of my omnipresent tea mug and pot. I can't function without it (though it's decaf tea) the file trays contain papers and tear outs from magazines that I wish to attempt sometime. It's a never decreasing pile.
The other photo is of my plans for a card that I want to enter into this weeks LOTV challenge if I get it done!

Mother's Day

Just made a start on Mother's Day cards for this year. I have three to get done. 
I used a LOTV stamp and sentiment. 
The paper is MME I think.
Coloured with Promarkers and Copics as always.
I hope you like it and thanks for looking. 

Christmas in February

Hello everyone,
Another dull and dreich day here in Glasgow.
Hello and welcome to my new followers. I hope you enjoy what I show you. ( especially Ria!!)
On Wednesday for my WOYWW post I showed the beginning of a Christmas wreath that I've had for ever it seems.
My plan was to cover the pieces in freebie Christmas paper from ages ago. I tried and the glue didn't stick (it fell off on Thursday! )
So I decided to colour the pieces with Distress Inks and I tore up one sheet of paper and decoupaged the main circle of the wreath.
I used Glossy Accents to stick the pieces on then coloured a piece of card with the same Distress Inks and added a sentiment.
I'm not sure if I'm completely done with it. I think some glitter or snow may be added later. What do you think?

Hello everyone,
I hope you and yours are safe and warm.
Not bad here, almost drying weather outside.

Busy day yesterday, Mum had an eye appointment and we went to the Art Galleries to see the British Museum Egypt Exhibition before it closed and went for lunch.  Then had a wander round the ground floor together before the hospital. She was in there over 2 hours, we were in some nick when we finally got out - both of us all seized up after 2 hours round the Galleries, then 2 hours sitting about the hospital.  We were holding each other up! !

Anyway onto the desk. This was taken Tuesday night after the hospital. 
I have had this Tando Creative wreath for a few years and now I'm crafting again I'm determined to use up stuff that I've had for ages. Hence the freebie Christmas paper from I don't know when, but Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. Ribbons are from stash.

In case you're wondering why I'm displaying a messy desk please go to Julia's blog at The Stamping Ground where you'll see all the other crafters displaying their mess.
Please join in, it's great fun.

Anniversary

|Hello again folks,
Hope your Saturday is going well.
I am knackered! 

Ellie stayed last night,  so far so normal.
However,  Stevie (hubby) was at a leaving do in Edinburgh and Emma was working till 9.30. It's a hard job dealing with 2 year old trouble maker alone!
Goodness knows how I used to manage when our kids were all small. Add potty training for the second day to the mix and you can imagine. She was good as gold ;-)

Her Granda, however, was not. Got a call at 11.30, can you come get me at the station - so to build up my wonderful wife points I did (cos Ellie was sleeping and Emma was in).Result- extra spends for the SECC!!!!
I can't wait now. 

I made this card for my parents,  they are 49 years married in April. I think the wee couple look like them (don't tell them!)
The image and sentiment are from Ladybugcrafts Ink - The Wrinklies
The paper is Kaiserecraft Hey Birdie

Thanks for looking and please leave any comments you may have. 

I want to enter this card into the following challenges

Hello all,

Today is Wednesday and so that means Head Desk Mistress Julia over at The Stamping Ground takes the register of all the crafty desks in the world.

If you are nosy like me take a trip over and join in the fun.

This week the desk is empty again and I didn't think to take the snap on Tuesday when I did do crafting.
I did take a pic of my other shelves containing my alcohol pens, the magazine fies contain A4 paper pads, various card types and colours and my Super Smooth from Rymans.  They also contain my templates etc.

I do have a card that I made yesterday for a couple of challenges.

Made using Ladybugcrafts Ink Martini Nikki and Martini sentiment, coloured with Copics and Promarkers.
The paper is Hey Birdie by Kaisercraft.

Hope to see you later on the tour.
