Fab'n'funky + ATS + Totally Tilda + more

Good afternoon all.

It may not feel like it but we are now officially in spring. It's freezing and I have had my heating on this afternoon. The boys have gone away for a weekend break with their dad - their granny was 80 last sunday although you wouldn't believe it. She runs around like a 20 year old full of energy. It will be lovely for them both and take their minds of exams and results.
Phoebe got a special mention in assembly today for some wonderful writing and a huge gold sticker.She did look very pleased with herself hehe.

I am trying to bring a spring feel into the house and as there are a fair number of challenges asking for spring card that's what I have made today. Fresh and colourful and have coloured the image with Prisma pencils again.

Totally Tilda + Craft your passion + Stamp with fun + more

Good morning Wednesday!

Well, don't get a lot of crafting done at the moment let alone blogging but hopefully things will get better soon.
My mum and dad are still stuck in Germany while the insurance company and the hospital discuss how best to transport my dad home. He has to have a nurse present and he's still unable to sit up. But, according to my Granny, both are ok :).
I am having my garden totally re-styled at the moment so it's looking like 2 giants had a mud-fight in it lol. It will be worth it in the summer sitting enjoying a cool drink under the warm sun (wishful thinking here).
Yesterday I fell on the way back from school and hurt my knee and ankel really bad. Both parts are very tender and sore, on top of a flu with sore throat I am ready to be put to pasture lol. I really really want sping to come NOW!!!!

My card for today is in tune with the up-coming Valentine celebrations. I have used a little bit of heat embossing and a Magnolia Tilda image.

Friday Sketchers + Just Magnolia + Sukkersott + Basic Grey

Good morning Monday.

Did you all have a good weekend? Mine was fairly quiet - still got Mr Flu visiting and I don't feel too brilliant this morning. Saturday night Phoebe got acute ear-ache and was crying for ages before I managed to calm her down and sleep. Poor baby :(. I did get a little crafting done so without any more ramblings from me .........

Magnolia always seems to be the perfect stamp for any occasion or age and they are a dream to colour too. This sweet image has been coloured using Promarkers, someday I might go back to using my Prisma pencils again for a change. My mother is always complaining that I use english greetings on my cards but I do not have any danish greeting stamps. Hopefully I will get some when next I go home or even better... I could always ask my mum to send me some hehe. The greeting on this card means "Congratulation on your day" (well, roughly).
