For The Kids

 

I've used one of Paula's brand new images, Lil Dumplings Roland - he's so adorable have you seen him yet?  Here he is with the rest of the new releases.....

Aren't they fab!!  And here he is on my card.....

 

 

 

A close up.  I Glossy Accent's his glasses and they look a bit misty don't they, must be all that roller skating making him hot and bothered lol..... 

 

A side view.....

 

Told you he was adorable in his little roller boots!  Ooooo I used to love roller skating when I was younger.  Me and my pals used to go to the roller disco every Saturday, it was so much fun!!  But, I digress lol!  If you play along with us this week you could win a £10 Pollycraft voucher to spend in-store  :o)  And just look at the new releases you neeeeed lol!!

Happy Birthday Daddykins!

Afternoon lovely people!

 

Well so much for me popping back soon after my last post lol!  This past week has been manic, not only with the kiddies breaking up from school but I've had loads of stuff to sort out for hubby's company - getting all the accounts stuff sorted for the accountant, PAYE stuff, VAT stuff, blah, blah, blah stuff!!  BORING or what!!  Can't keep moaning about it though as that won't get it done any quicker will it and today my super duper Mum (thanks Mum!) has come to the rescue and taken the kids for me so I can get on.....so I best get moving!!  :o))

 

Onto my card and as you can see by the title of my post it's my Dads birthday today - Happy Birthday Pa!!  So why the Get Well Soon card??  Well poor Dad has had to go into hospital today to have an op to have his kidney stones removed, or in his words, have the quarry dug up!!  The hospital have cancelled on him twice now so even though it's his birthday, he's so pleased to be having the op!  We did have a Birthday Curry (yum!) on Saturday to celebrate his day so at least he still got some cake ay!!  Here's my card.....

As you can see, it was quite a quick make.....that'll be all the boring stuff ^ ^ getting in the way again then!!

 

Right, I'm off to carry on plugging the numbers but before I go I just wanted to say a massive Thank You to Faye over at Cupcake for having me on her DT.  As you may have already seen, Cupcake is having a break for the foreseeable (sob!).  I for one will miss it and I know I'm not alone but I completely understand why the break is needed, so Fluffster, Thank You for being such an awesome DT Mummy and for having me at Cupcake  :o)

 

Toodles!

Another first for me!!

Afternoon all,

I hope you're all well?  Bit grey today isn't it, but I guess that's the perfect excuse to stay in and make cards all day ay!!  I had such a fab day yesterday at Bluewater with my Sister-In-Law, Nephew, Niece and Father-In-Law.  We had a delicious lunch in Ed's Diner which is like a 1950's burger bar but the food is absolutely yummmmy!!  Then we went to the cinema and watched Rango - it was ok, some funny parts but not the best film I've seen.  Think we should've gone for Tangled instead but nevermind!  And then we went to the new Cadbury's Coco House for hot chocolate, what a treat!!  They do afternoon tea, cakes, sundae's, all sorts of yummyness but we were still stuffed from Ed's so just had hot chocolates.  Poor Fred (F-I-L) ended up having a coke spilt all over him which Lucy (S-I-L) and I found hilarious!!  Fred did giggle too so that was ok and we got the cokes for free, lol!!  A really great day  :o)

Onto my card, this one I've made for my Uncle and as the title suggests it's the first time I've ever made a get well soon card.  My Uncle has just had his prostrate removed as he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer just before Christmas.  Fingers crossed the docs have caught everything in time and he will only need a little radiotherapy.  My Uncle is certainly feeling very positive about it all so that's a good sign.  Here's my card...

Close up of LOTV's 'Little Nurse'...

Inside of card...

Side view...

It's a bit girlie isn't it, but I hope he likes it and it puts a smile on his face.  I did try to 'Man it up' with the brown but I couldn't resist the pink - the colours just go soooo well together don't they?!!  And the big flowers were a new die I bought at the Farnborough Craft Show that I haven't used yet, they were burning a hole in die box let me tell you, lol!!

Ok, off to make another card now  :o))

See you soon guys,

Much love,
