love is.......

Few cards from me today,
I know, I know....
nothing from me in weeks and then....
well you know the rest !

Was my Mam & Dad's Wedding Anniversary
yesterday and this was the simple card I made them.
The backing paper is a tea green in colour.
My photo's are nae great....but
I am focusing on not stressing over wee things
just now.......

Totally Gorjuss want a card for someone
special....and my folks are special to me.


~~~~~T~~~~~


This card is a play around with new stamps.
I am not sure about it at all.
I think I made a mess of colouring her eyes.
I have a sentiment but dont want
to say who it is for till I get it posted,
and the person recieves it.

Sine this wee sweet pea is a fairy
she is my entry for the following challenges.
My Time to craft want up in the air,

~~~~~T~~~~~

None of us like making them...
but I think they are worth the effort.
I didnt want to do a black a white card this time.
Last few I have sent have been B & W.

~~~~~T~~~~~


And lastly a thank you card.

I actually cut out a few red felt hearts
to make tree decs to send.
But ran out of time!
Maybe next year.....

This fits Allsorts ,
and Cute Card Thursday
who both want thank you cards.
And after Anne's recomendation
I have also entered it in
Phindy's place's challenge for thank you cards too.

Hope you are all well
Love Teen xx

Monday here again

This weekend passed way too quick.
DH's Brother is away back to my inlaws &
will be going home to Auz at the end of the week.

I have a couple of cards done
orders for people at work.
I loved this tractor card
so made it again
for a wee boy who is tractor daft.
Hope his Mum & dad like it too.

The same person also wanted a card for her older uncle.
The backing papers were from my lovely mate Chrissy.
Thanks babe.
The rose of the watering can is actually silver.
All I had to go on with this card was his name,
age and he loves his garden.
The roses are made using the punched out flowers.

Last one is my favourite.
The red roses are made in the same
way as the white ones above.

I am not sure if the person who ordered it will like it.
How you all doing?
Am trying to catch up on my blog list of mates
but not getting there very fast.

Much love
Teen xx

Gift to Sammi & James

As you know Sammi, James and Brooke move away down south tomorrow.

They got married on Saturday, this is my Wedding Card to them.



The heart is from Sketching stampers that was kindly given to me by Teresa.
Thank you very much!


And as well as vouchers so they can get what they want when they are all moved into their new home.......I gave them this.



It matches in with their card.

I couldn't give it to them till after I printed off wedding photo.
I have added a tartan bow from their wedding cake and added it on to it.


Sammi's colour's were deep red and white.
That's her invitation behind the Sammi & James place cards.
I wrote them out for all the table settings at the meal,
and did two spare ones to put in here.



I am not so keen on the centre of the flowers but couldn't put the centres
I wanted in due to it being under glass.

I love this verse....not sure where I first found it.
I have used it a few times now.



Their wedding rings are platinum,
the small small hearts on the place cards &
on the invites are silver so the frame picks up on that.
The is 12 x 10 " from Asda!
I will get some more of these as they are a fine size for scrap pages.
I am not sure who makes the backing papers
but they are sliver with deep grey writing on it.

Sammi & James

I have had the amazing pleasure of knowing my
best mate Lynne's daughter Sammi
since she was a wee lassie and today....


today, I stood and watched with great pride as she became a wife!

Where did the years go to?

It seems just yesterday she was a sweet young girl
with lopsided bunches in her long hair...
and now she is all grown up!

A wife and fantastic Mummy to Beautiful Brooke & her wee baby bump.

Life has not always been easy for Sammi or Lynne.

We lost Sammi's sister Amy two years ago in a tragic car accident.
Sammi stood in the packed Church
& gave her darling sister the most heart felt emotional & amazing eulogy.
This amazing strong and inspirational young woman stood up spoke
with such love & strength that made us all so very proud!

Just two months later she held her beautiful newborn daughter
Brooke Amy in her arms,
a new mother herself but still supporting her grief struck family !

It has been a privilege to watch you grow up!

I am so lucky to have been part of your childhood!
You are someone I am now so very proud to call a friend.
I will be so sad to say goodbye as you move down to London this week.
Will miss you all very much.

Wishing you & James,
many years or love, luck, happiness & much Joy together!

Love you Sammi..!!!

He loves me......

Happy Valentines Day to you !

Roses are from my beloved Hubby!

Thank you my lovely!
I love you xxxx

I made My Beloveds Valentines card using
one of photos I took of the roses he gave me.

love is...

I decided instead of making Christmas cards for the folk at dog class ,
I would make some calenders using my favorite picture of Poppy and her boy dog Blue .

Over at One stop challenge, Paula is looking for something blue....
Will there is plenty blue on here, I have actuarially picked the worst calender to take a single shot of, the chalk ink was clogging up the stamp....
and I thought I had pulled out all the splodgie ones...
The stamped paw prints look like blobs on this one!

Oh poppys boy dog is also called Blue!!! LOL

So it kinda grew from there......
I need to get a couple more calender tabs to finish two off here.

This is my take on Marskia's challenge at Sketch Saturday.
It will also get a calander tag hung from the bottom of it when I get some more tomorrow.
I have done a wee bot of wire twisting on the buttons.
Love this effect.
Have doen a fair bit of bead work for Yule gifts today, bay can't show them just yet.


Yesterday my friends Shelia & Bruce got married down south.
this card was made using Laura's sketch at 2sketches 4 you.


I am not sure about the two rings on it, but needed something to keep it to the design.
The green is the colour of her bridesmaids dresses.
The lace if actually some I had left over from my wedding dress.....14 years ago!
Sectret Crafter's Saturday Challenge is to use some embossing , heat or dry.
The doves were done using my cuttle bug and are both embossed.

I need to get few more bits done for yule gifts tomorrow and then see where we are on the Yule cards.....
stressed.....no ....NOT YET!!!! LOL

have a good week ! xxx

Happy Birthday Bunty

Yesterday was my dearest friend Bunty's Birthday.
I didn't post this yesterday as I wanted to make sure the postie had been,
but since I didn't use elf post it got there just fine!

I send her this CD card with a quote that her beautiful niece Laura has on her bebo.
As you may know Laura died last month, and I was really torn weather or not to put it on the CD.

It sums Laura up.
And the amazing message she has left on all our hearts.

To love is Nothing.
To be loved is Something.
To love & be loved is Everything.

I made a few wee simple note cards and sent them in my first ever wallet card.




Bunty is an amazing women who fights for everyone who needs help!
She is an inspiration to me and many other who know and love her,

She was a tower of strength to Laura & Rich, and now to everyone who mourns Laura,
even though her own heart is breaking with her loss.
