Special occasions for all

Morning Stampers,

Well what a weekend, it was filled with celebrations.

On Saturday i had the 2nd birthday of my twin nieces, and later that night it was the celebration of the engagement of my younger sister to her partner and of course Sunday was Mothers day.

 I hope all mums got spoiled out there.

The card for my mum was posted in an earlier post, (i know she doesn't look here she doesn't have a computer), click here to go and have a look the the card i made for her

This year for mothers day i didn't have any kids at home until later on in the evening. A down side of having teenagers, they are never home, well the older one anyway, as he has his own car, so we didn't do alot.

 My DD was away at her Scout camp (which is held every year on Mothers day weekend), it was her last chance to attend this camp as she is now in the next age group, so she is no longer a scout but a venture. And boy going on the washing she had a great time, i had to hose off her clothes on the driveway before i washed them, take a look at the mud

Before the hose off

After the hose off, see the shirt was gray.

I had a few cards to make this past week, for the celebrations ahead and of course the amazing challenges i participate in

Here is the one i made for my sisters engagement.

As soon as i saw this one, i really liked it, so i  CASEd it.  The original was by a very talented Chat Wszelaki

We all had a great night at my sisters celebrating her engagement, it was a small affair, with close friends and family.

Pop back tomorrow and i will post the cards i made for my niece's second birthday.

Until then have a great day

ATC swaps and yay me

  Morning Stampers,

The other day i received my ATC swaps, these were for the creative inkers team.

I must say these were amazing, this was my first ever ATC swap.

It was really neat to get these in the mail, there were 10 of us in the group, but unfortunately two of them got lost in the post, my heart goes out to those two ladies who's great swaps didn't turn up, but there is still hope yet that they will turn up.

Aprils theme was Easter

Here is my Swap

These swaps are only 2 1/2" x 3 1/2', so the space you get to work with is small

Here are the other great swaps

L - R Top: Bev Poullney, Debi Ryan, Rhonda fawcett

L-R Bottom: Lisa Bullock, Pam Cregeen, Narelle Hoggard

And this one i have to show you separate 

Here is a photo of the inside 

Isn't it cute, i love this,

Try Stampin on Tuesday #12 & JAI #66

Afternoon Stampers.

How is everybody today, i have had a very busy day. 

One of those days in which there is not enough hours to get every thing done even working at full speed.

Todays creation was created for the TST (Try stampin on Tuesday) weekly challenge.

The sketch this week has me a bit worried, as this weeks sketch is out of my normal scope of cards i do.

Here is the Sketch

I decided on doing a card i have wanted to have a go at for a while.

A criss cross card.

As i was about to blog this i thought i might do a bit of blurfing first, im glad i did as over at Just Add Ink, their weekly challenge was

Just Add Flowers

As mothers day is approaching fast.

And my card fits their challenge perfectly

Here is my master piece

i absolutely love how this turned out

Here is a picture of the insert

This is perfect as my sisters and i got our mother a voucher for a complete relaxation massage for mother's day, and this will fit nicely in the pocket as well.

Well i had better go and complete the rest of the items on my every extending list

take care
