Fancy a bit of snow-birding?

Hi all,
I hope you had a good weekend.  We went swimming on Sunday, and then the girls and I did some junk modelling.  I always save empty boxes and packaging and Daisy made a rocket and a crocodile, while Martha made a robot.  I think we all enjoyed ourselves and loved making a mess too!  We now need to paint the creations, which might be next Sunday's job.
Over at Incy Wincy this week, we are sponsored by Doodle Pantry and our theme is to add texture.  I have used a fab bird image by Doodle Pantry and made an easel card.  For my texture, I embossed silver card with a snowflakes folder, and added 3D white paint, corrugated card, ribbon and fluffy balls!
See you later.

Give us a hug!

Hi all,
I hope you had a good week.  Ours has been busy as usual, and then today the girls had their dancing/drama lessons, so we have been out for most of the day.
I am a bit late in posting this, but over at CRAFT this week, our theme is get well/use bandages/sympathy.  I used an image from Wags n Whiskers, one of our sponsors, and made a get well card, as I think everyone wants a hug when they aren't well.  The papers are from Hot off the Press and the flower dies are by Nellie Snellen.
See you later.

A big bear hug

                                
Hi all,
I hope you are keeping warm.  It's a bit windy out there.  I do hope the bit of snow we have goes away quickly as I am meant to be going to a rehearsal for the musical I am in tonight and my mother in law is coming up to babysit but I don't think she will come if it is snowy.
Over at creative craft our theme is love and hugs.  I have used an image by our sponsor, Robyn's Fetish.  I am not completely happy with this card.  I think I have too many embellishments on it, maybe. I tried to make a zip flower, which I think looks good, but maybe I should have stayed away from the hearts!
See you later.

Love is in the air, everywhere you look around

Hi all,
I hope you had a good weekend.  On Saturday, we went to visit my inlaws, as they had just returned from a month long cruise and had some presents for the girls.  They also wanted hubby to check the car tyres before they drove it as it had been sitting in the drive all month.  Hubby has gone off to Vienna for work this week, so it's just me and the girls.  I hopped on here quickly before doing the school and nursery run.  I have already done the shopping and the housework and thought I deserved a cup of coffee!
Over at Incy Wincy this week, we are sponsored by Doddle Dragon Studios and our theme is love is in the air (can't guess why!).  I made this for hubby, as he isn't very lovely dovey, but I loved this little dragon.  The gold cord was cut off our new blinds.  They were a bit long, so had to be shortened and I kept the cord in case it came in handy.

Masquerade, painted faces on parade...

Hi all,
I can't believe where the week has gone.  Today, we spent the morning at a friends house and then Daisy had a dance lesson after school.  Martha came too and watched, but insisted on wearing her dance dress and ballet shoes too.  I have been having troubles with my printer and it completely gave up this Monday, and so all my plans of getting ahead with my DT makes went out of the window.
Over at CRAFT, our theme is to use or make a mask.  I know that there are many definitions of a mask and masking in craft, but I decided to go literal and use a mask stamp I had in my stash.  The main image is Birthday Kids 12 by Stamp Fairy, one of our sponsors.  I used dies I bought at the NEC and some very fine blue net between the backing paper and the image.  I think this would make a good party invitation, but it would have to be a very small party, as it took a while to make!

What are you reading at the moment?

Hi all,
We had another flurry of snow on Friday and now we just have high winds.  The snow is slowly melting, but the fields are still covered in white.  Martha is at nursery today after two weeks off because of the weather, so I hope she will be okay.  I am not working, so I will be getting all the jobs done that I haven't been able to do.
Over at Incy Wincy, we are sponsored by Saturated Canary, and our theme is Pearls and lace.  I have used Princess Reading Beauty and have made a bookmark for Daisy as she loves reading and is just starting to want to read books by herself before bed and often has a few books on the go at the same time.  The paper is by Papermania, I think and the lace is an offcut I borrowed from my Mum!

All you need is love

Hi all,
The snow decided to come back this afternoon, but hopefully this is the last of it now as I really don't like driving in these conditions.  Hopefully, we will be able to take the girls to their dancing and drama classes tomorrow as they have already missed some because of the weather.
Over at CRAFT, our theme is Valentine's/love.  I have used an image by Hope Jacare, one of our sponsors, called Love Overflowing.  The paper is from a pack I have had for years, but it doesn't have it's cover anymore, so I don't know who made it.  I'm not sure if this will go to hubby, as it is a bit pink and lovely dovey for him.  I'm off for a bit of hopping.
See you later.
