We've been lucky enough to have had some lovely sunny days , still on the cold side but it is lovely to see the sunshine, even managed to get some more planting done. I love the image and sentiment I used on this card birds for the Spring time, we have blue tits exploring the nesting boxes just now and the sentiment simply because I find it inspiring

Father Christmas

This was a layout I chose last Christmas for those last minute cards you need in a a hurry. Relatively  CAS with some glitter around the decoupaged focal point.

Easter Treat???

As a family we especially my hubby enjoy little "trick gifts " this is for our younger son, behind the eggs is a £10 note the only way to get it out will be by cutting into the eggs shell. James may well keep this as a memento and not try to retrieve the cash.

Lilac

Hello to all my crafty friends,we have a lovely day here and I spent a very short time in the garden this morning I would have liked to stay out longer but have still not fully recovered from my last infection.
I wanted to go out to move a holly which self seeded under another plant it is now about 30 inches high and I felt it had to be moved.

Many thanks to all those who continue to visit and leave comments they are very much appreciated.

A Funny Face

I made this card to give to my younger son who gets fed up with the time it takes him to get to work, usually between 11/2 and 2 hours each way. He is talking about renting in Aberdeen later in the year, certainly before next winter. A 1 bed flat is approx £600 a month but due the falling oil prices the costs are beginning to come down.

Challenging myself to try something a little different, I've lots of flower dies I've never used before so this is the result.Not sure if I'm totally happy with the finished product but I will keep trying to use those dies.

Apologies to everyone who visits and who I follow, For the past few weeks I have been plagued with one chest infection after another, I haven't felt like crafting and have hardly been on the computer apart from visiting  a few of you to leave comments.
