Busy Little Bee!

Good evening lovely bloggers!

 

A super quick post from me tonight, so sorry I've not been around much recently, talk about busy lol!!  I had all that boring paper work stuff to do, poor Dad didn't get out of hospital until today so I've been up there visiting every day and of course it's summer holidays!!  Thankfully Dad is doing well and on the mend, wahoo!  :o)

 

I've made a few cards recently that I haven't got around to posting yet, here's a quickie I made yesterday...

Love these Pink Petticoat images and matching DP's, they come together so quickly  :o))

 

See you soon (hopefully!),

Much love,

Last day as a Giraffe!

Hello All,

 

So today is Big Boys last day of term, wow I can't believe how quickly that school year went!!  He's been in Giraffes class this year so I made some Giraffe themed Thank You cards for his Teachers / Teaching Assistants. 

 

Here they are...

 

 

 

A side view...

 

 

 

I had 4 thank you cards to make so I wanted some quick wins!  I printed the image onto papermill direct white linen cardstock and coloured it with my pencils for a change.  I'm really happy with how they turned out so I hope the Teachers / Teaching Assistants like them too  :o)

 

See you soon with Little Woo's Bumblebee Thank You's!!

 

Much love,

Cazza

Kids, kids and more kids!!

Morning All,

 

You know I said on one of my other posts how card themes are like buses and you always seem to need to make loads of the same type at the same time - loads of male cards, then loads of female ones etc.  Well now for me I need kids cards.....and lots of 'em!  So, here we go with the first one on the list and this one is for one of my Little Woo's friends at Pre-School, she's going to her birthday party on Sunday.....the kids have a way better social life than me lol!!

 

 

 

A close up...

 

 

 

Side view...

 

 

 

And you know what'll be up next after all the kids cards.....Fathers Day!!

 

Have a good day all,

Much love,

Huge Heffalump Apologies!!

Morning All,

 

Happy Bank Holiday Monday to all of you living in the UK!  Hope you've all got something nice planned?  And to everyone not in the UK, hope you have a Happy Monday  :o)  I think we're going out in the garden today for a tidy up, and hopefully I'll have some crafting time later too!  It's amazing how quickly the bug has taken hold again lol!.....but I LOVE IT!!

 

Onto my card and today I'm sharing another brand spanking new image from Paula @ Pollycraft, this one is called 'Huge Thanks' and comes with a sentiment too.  I decided not to use the sentiment but instead made a belated birthday card - well how could you not accept an apology from this GORGEOUS Heffalump lol!!  Here he is...

 

A close up...

 

 

 

And a side view...

 

 

 

Yep still sticking with CAS, get me!

 

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday and see you all soon,

Much love,

Cazza

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my first card back last week, you certainly made me feel welcome  :o))  How I've missed the crafting love!  And since coming back, so has someone else...

 

 

 

Yes the amazingly talented Paula has re-opened the Pollycraft doors with some fantastic new digi's, have you seen them?  Well they certainly helped my mojo to return pretty sharpish lol!  So for my card today I'm sharing one of her brand spanking new images, here's

 

'Owl always love you' (and she comes with the sentiment too!)

See you all soon chicks,

Much love,

Cazza
