Higher, higher

Hi all,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.  It was quite sunny here and we spent Sunday at Morpeth street fair.  The girls enjoyed going on lots of rides and eating fair food!
Over at Incy Wincy this week, our theme is butterflies and bows, and I have used Summer swing by one of our sponsors, Saturated Canary.  I went for a shaped card, as I loaned my guillotine to a friend and haven't got it back yet, so straight edges are a bit difficult to do.  The back paper has butterflies on it, but if you look closely you will see they are flying upside down!  Ooops!
See you later.

Hi all,
Well, the weather has been lovely all day here.  It was wonderful at the weekend too.  The girls went to a birthday party on Saturday and there was a magician there.  It was lovely to see all the faces of the children whenever the magician did a trick.   I have been doing all the housework jobs today as I have work tomorrow.  I do hope the weather stays nice.
Over at Incy Wincy, our theme is Spring.  I have used an image from Doodle Pantry, one of our sponsors.  I'm really not sure about this card - I'm going through a phase of disliking everything I make at the moment.
See you later.

Fancy a rest?

Hi all,
Well, it's the weekend (nearly).  We had a lovely half term, even if the weather wasn't too good.  Today, it was really sunny, so we went to a park, which has a great paddling pool as well as all the normal play park things.  The girls loved it and then we had an ice cream to finish off (I was probably more excited about this than they were!)
Over at CRAFT, our theme is father's day or male.  I have used an image called It's your day, by Karen's Doodles and the papers are from my scrap drawer.
See you later.

Live, laugh, love

Hi all,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.  It was a bank holiday here, and it was actually nice weather.  We went to the beach yesterday and the girls loved it.  We went rock pooling and then made loads of sandcastles.  Today, we went to the County Show and the girls went on some of the fair rides and we saw the animals.  Unfortunately, they didn't have any bunnies, which Martha was desperate to see!
Over at Incy Wincy, we have a photo for your inspiration this week.  It's a fabulous photo and I have used the colours and the flowers from it for my bookmark.  The image is from Bugaboo, our sponsor, and the papers are from my scrap box.
See you later.

I'm a rocket man (or dog!)

Hi all,
Well, spring seems to over and we have gone back to winter.  It's been very windy all day.  Martha and I stayed in a lot of the time, except for going shopping for a blue bunny that Martha wanted.  Well, we couldn't find one anywhere, so when we got home, I tried making one.  I have to do the face now.
Over at CRAFT, we have a colour challenge for you.  I have used an image called Rocket Dog, by QKR Stampede, one of our sponsors.
See you later.

My little princesses

Hi all,
This is just a quick one to say a massive thank you to the wonderful Sassy.  She held a little giveaway on her blog to win one of three fantastic tiaras that she made.  My name came out of the hat, and Sue very kindly sent two of the tiaras, so the girls could have one each.
Here are the girls wearing the tiaras.  Daisy loves hers so much, she wore hers to school.

Martha refuses to smile when she is photographed, so this is the least scary one!

Thanks again.

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain...

Hi all,
I hope you had a good weekend.  I went to a fabric shop on Sunday to let the girls choose their curtain fabric.  There was a lot of choice, but eventually they settled on some.  I wanted to get some fabric too, but was amazed at how expensive it can be.  I will have to look out for off cuts I think.
Over at Incy Wincy, we are sponsored by Stamp Fairy and our theme is metal mania - so use something metal or have an image which shows something metal in it.  I have had the sunflowers for ages, and I thought it would work well with this image.  I am hoping my spring card will convince the sun to come out.
See you later.
