Got some beautiful roses and freesias through the post from my eldest daughter,the ones on the left,really pretty pale pink roses,I so love roses.

Then my youngest daughter arrived with more beautiful pink roses,they really know what flowers I like.
So they were all arranged in one vase .above,dont they look fantastic,they are starting to open this morning.

Many thanks girls,still waiting to see what our boys come up with.,And here he is ,my lovely boy called Spike the spikey plant ,from my lovely boy Adrian,came with a lovely posh card as well,thanks a million.

Heres my latest card ,its for the challenge on the card making thread .I had to use pink ribbon,stitching,on the ribbon, and a pink button ,also on the ribbon.
This is a card for my grand daughter ,who is always,and I mean always,talking about and making up stories about flying pigs

So here are some flying pigs,just for her,really hope she will like them

Grandson,s Minecraft card

He picked the background card colour ,when he visited earlier today ,so I picked an image to match the colour,got no idea who or what it is ,lol..............just know he will love it.

I,ve actually made a card

Heres my card ,cant believe I have actually crafted one today,been really not with my crafting for ages.This one just evolved ,lol.














The backing paper is a really beautiful card from Kanban,the lacy trimmings .I think are Martha Stewart,correct me if I,m wrong,I bought them off fleabay ,the image is a Jak heath image .
The cuttouts have been gently inked with pastel lemon and pink.a few gems have been added for some bling.

Congratulation card

A beautiful wedding congratulations card,made for my son,s wedding ,
lots of bling to jazz it up ,little mulberry roses and pearls ,with organza ribbon bow.
The backing card is from Kanban,beautiful pearlescent embossed card in ivory .
I have kept the coloured image pretty neutral ,with the lightest of pro-marker colours used
A little bit of silver highlights gives some sparkle.
I have made a box to fit it in ,so it doesn,t get crushed
Just hope him and his fiance like it .....................

Red and white retro

Really its red, wnite ,blue and gold ,love this retro image which was a freebie pic,the flower and gold embellishments were a little gift I received the other day ,from 2 different places,but they go well together.
This is quite a big card for me ,its actually an A4 card folded in half,is that an A5 ?
Looks really cool this hot weather ,wish I could find a dress like this,used to have something similar when I was 16,boy,they were the days.

my lovely Birthday flowers

It was my Birthday yesterday and I had a great day,my youngest Daughter took me shopping for a few hours,went to home bargains and had a great smooch around,lol.
Received£105 pounds in money ,so to help my shopping excursions I purchased a little fold up wheelchair to put in the car.I really feel like an old person now,but my legs wont take the walking like they used to.I might even get down to the seaside this summer ...........
My oldest daughter came down in the evening,with more money for me .
My lovely cards and roses are in pride of place on my sideboard
Thanks kids.

This other card has beautifull daffodils in the foreground,to which I added glitter glue for a little sparkle
