My New Arrival!!!

Just thought I would share my new baby Grandson with you all, he arrived yesterday which surprisingly was his due date. We had a falso alarm on friday evening when we took my son and his g'f to hospital, but she was only 1-2cm dilated, so we knew ot wouldnt be too long. Got a call yesterday morning and took them back to the hospital at 2pm, Brodie was eventually safely delivered at 9.18pm weighing a very healthy 8lb 3ozs, Mother and baby doing well. And one extemely chuffed Nanny. xx

Our creative corner challenge blog

Hi, what gorgeous weather we are having in Bedford at the moment, feels like summer is back!!...havn't had much time for blogging this week, had lots of other things keeping me busy. But I was getting withdrawals yesterday and when I looked around on Mo Mannings gorgoeus blog, I just had to buy a couple of images. This card hopefully fulfills the challenge this week over on Our creative corner which is 'Happy fall y'all!'. This cute little fella playing with the autumn leaves caught my eye.....isn't he the cutest!! I coloured him with my Prisma markers, promarkers and polychromos, I am quite pleased with how he turned out to be honest. Scalloped card from craftwork cards, inked with memento 'sprout green', brads from stash.

Hopefully be back very soon with a challenge.
Have a good weekend

Birthday goodies

Hi just thought I would show you what goodies I got for my birthday today. It has been a lovely day with phone calls, text messages and people popping in and out with cards etc. Feeling slightly worse for wear as we had friends over for a chinese and drinks last night, more drinks than food I think though.....will I ever learn.

I think I am really lucky to have had these lovely pressies and some money to go crafty shopping with.

Have a good rest of Sunday

Stampin' up workshop

I went along to the card club I attend every other Tuesday in Bedford, it was the first one back after the summer hols, and Carol had arranged a workshop from a Stampin' Up demonstrator. I had heard of stampin' up from reading peoples blogs but had never seen any of there products. I had a fab evening with lots of giggles....(sticky flaps and such like...lol). Thanks Carol and I look forward to seeing more of these lovely products and wish you every success in your new venture.

Thought I would just show you what we made with the yummy stamps and inks. I love how everything co-ordinates.
