First Spring Flowers

A Spring flowers card inspired by the garden, my snowdrops are starting to flower and the crocus are well through the ground, the catkins are beginning to bud too.

A frosty snowy start to the day, no-one out as it's half term and our son is off today, Yesterday was a real hassle for him, his train left on time but was then delayed for an hour due to signalling problems then the train home was cancelled and it was a 2 hour wait for the next one. In  the end hubby drove the 50+ miles to collect him. They still got home well before he would have on the train or bus. The route from Aberdeen to Inverness is not well served by public transport trains hourly at peak time only, then 2 hourly and the buses are meant to be hourly but the bus he would have gone for at 7pm rarely leaves before 7.20 and then takes over an hour and a half to get to the nearest stop to us, then another 10 miles to home. I love living where we do but sometimes do wonder if we would be better moving closer to Aberdeen.


The digi is from Power  Poppy and is coloured with Promarkers
Papers a mix of makes
Flower dies from Sue Wilson and Marianne

Happy Birthday

i hope everyone has recovered from the hustle of the festive period and is feeling relaxed now. We have continued to be very lucky and have escaped the worst of the bad weather, some high winds and heavy rain showers but no flooding or damage.


A spring/summer card to cheer me up today, it's a long time since I used so many die cuts in one card.

Life is Beautiful

Sentiment from TLC
Spellbinder, Tonic and Marianne Dies


It looks as though it's going to be another hot day, I've planned a barbecue for mid afternoon, I always eat too much and need a rest afterwards. My card today is something a bit different I love white on white with a coloured image but haven't done one without any colour at all, I did struggle but am reasonably pleased with the finished article.

Xmas Wreath

This is a great way to use up trimmings of card left after cutting a 6x6 inch card base. I know the colours are anything but traditional but am pleased with the finished result. We had the best day of the year so far yesterday wall to wall sunshine but I wasn't feeling great so spent most of the day lying down, what a waste. We also had a shock on rising no water so we could only make a cuppa with the water in the kettle from the night before. A burst pipe at the local reservoir had meant the water was shut off the night before. Typically after hubby bought bottled water it came back on but that was about 2pm.
