I've had a really quiet weekend, hubby and son have been away, The weather hasn't been fine enough to get into the garden so I watched some of the DVD's I received at Christmas and Mother's Day.

Spring Time

Another Easter card in Spring colours, I love the lemon/yellow with the lilac, I added some golden tones this time. These rick St. Dennis digis are so cheery and lovely to colour.
These Easter cards will go to my nieces who share a house and work in Germany.

We had a cold frosty start to the day with snow lying on the higher hills, but what a glorious day now, the sun is shining brightly though it is still cold, can't wait for the temperature to start to increase, the ground is still too hard to get into the garden, still the solar panels are making loads of units.

Spring Colours

The snowdrops and crocus are brightening up the borders, it's lovely to see the soft colours, the daffodils and ribes should be out soon, so all we need is a little more sunshine.

Valentine

Hardly a traditional Valentines card, but this will be appreciated by my other half who loves a good laugh, he's not got a romantic bone in his body. Embellishments would be a complete and utter waste of time, so it's really simple.

High winds sleet and snow here for the past few days, no phone line since last Monday, so far I've had 4 dates to reconnect me, promised communication doesn't happen and I'm fed up trying to get it resolved. We luckily have intermittent internet so I can check the website for the updates, which they promise then don't post.

Humbug!!

This card is for my younger son to give to his dad at Christmas. My husband would do anything for both boys but the younger is always teasing him saying he is "mean". I think this image is perfect, he's certainly not a happy chap, Hubby appreciates James's sense of humour so I'm sure will love this.

A Hug A Day

A very unusual card for Father's Day perhaps but it's the card I'm giving to my husband, the monsters referred to being our sons. No we don't want to keep them away it's lovely when our elder son visits, the younger lives at home, but when the 2 of them get together !!

I also made a bottle tag to go onto his bottle of whiskey.

We Three Kings

My second post for today, everyone has a long lie on a Sunday morning so I don't feel guilty spending my time crafting. It's just after 10 and hubby is awake but not on the go yet. James has been awake since 7am but is watching DVD's in bed.
Love this digi  I think these geese look worried are they wondering what's going to happen to them.

Joy is Yours Today

Digi from Rick St. Dennis
Sentiment from Tlc


I have purchased several Rick St. Dennis digis and just love the clowns. Speaking of clowns , that might be a way to describe my youngest, last exam was on Monday last, and he completed his leavers form today,then announced  he was going to spend the next 4 years in bed!! That would give him time to decide what he wanted to do.
 I could find plenty for him to do, I wonder if I would be fighting a losing battle if I asked him to help in the garden or help his father cut and split the 25 ton load of logs we had delivered.( Firewood for the next 2-3 years)

Ice Cream

Another miserable morning today , but it is beginning to brighten up now so I'll get into the garden later.
My card will hopefully bring a little reminder of summer weather, and enjoying ice cream.
