A lovely Easter weekend…despite the weather!

 

Hi All

Hope you have all had a wonderful Easter and haven’t overdone it too much on the choccy eggs?! I’ve had a lovely few days. My Mum has been to visit and we had a day out to Belton House on Saturday…for those of you who do not know, this is where they filmed the Rosings Park scenes in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Was a lovely day out, even though it was a little drizzly. We have then spent a couple of days inside crafting as the weather has been vile!

Anyway, I have made quite a few cards but am going to tease you and only show you one or two at a time…try and spread my blog posts out during the week!

My first card today is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge which is ‘Anything Goes’. I have been dying to use some of the stamps I bought at the show a few weeks ago so jumped at the chance to use one of my new Lili of the Valley ones!

SAM_2143 SAM_2144 Such a sweet image! I am hoping to do a bit of baking this week…lost my baking mojo at the moment…maybe it will return before I go back to work!

My next card is a Christmas card. Been in a bit of a festive mood this week…not long to go you know ;) This one I would like to enter into the Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenge and the Christmas Stampin’ All Year Round challenge which both ask you to craft using your favourite colour combination. I love making blue Christmas cards so here is my attempt!

SAM_2136SAM_2137 I love this little Humphrey stamp…such a cutie. I have also used one of my new Little Claire sentiment stamps I bought at the show.

That’s it for now…will share some more with you tomorrow :)

Thanks for looking.

Hugs
