I have been making my cards but just for personal use. This past few years has seen me become a grandma to Olivia she is 20 months and l love her to bits ! July 4th saw my son get married..Oh what a beautiful wedding it was..makes me smile when l think about it and l guess like most of us mum's we would love to live that day all over again...l now have a little doggy called Canela .she came from the local dogs centre .she was two months when we got her and we have had her now for a year and half. We are all so in love with her ,she is a little angel. Friends tell me she is a lucky little dog to have us, but l say we are the lucky ones to have her..little love.<br />
Anyway that's enough from me..over the next week l will come by and leave a comment on your blogs and hopefully add some new pics of the family and of some cards.. Let's hope l remember how to load up this post , it has been that long..so here goes..wishing you all a nice day..<br />
Hugs<br />

Just shows you how much stash l still need to use up, but l am getting there ! I have also used some mirri card as an extra layer and added a punched border .Very simple and easy to create when you need a card in a hurry !<br />

Which l matted onto gold mirri card. I have used another kanban topper that l got last year ( still trying to keep to the 'use it up' pledge ) .The ribbons and sentiment are from my stash.I used stickles to highlight some of the tree ornaments.<br />

The card l am sharing with you all today has a pink card base.I have cut off a strip from the front of the card and matted it with ivory ribbon (meiflower ) and used on the inside of the card. I embellished with snowflakes and pearls. On the front of the card l have used a piece of satin finish card stock and run it through a snowflakes embossing folder. Sentiment and snowman topper are from Kanban and the fluffy/ multi coloured twine/cord ( not sure what you would call it hehe) has just been tied around the card and finished with a knot. I added a bow made of the same ivory ribbon...<br />

Thought l would share this side step card with you. I have used a sheet of toppers and tags.I have matched the colours on the tags to some purple dp and orange card stock then used a border punch. I matted the tags and topper onto the orange cardstock and added some purple organza and satin ribbon. The two tone roses are from WOC. The double layered butterflies are from a very kind friend and the silver peel off butterflies are layered onto the purple dp and cut out.<br />
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges...<br />

Its been ages since l lasted posted and showed a card..I have had quite alot going on of late, so somethings had to be put on the back burner..Sara has been over for 4 days, so that took priority. Summer is always busy for us over here, so trying to cover every base is quite a task. <br />
I have been trying to leave a few comments on your beautiful creations, but l still have more blogs to catch up on..Hope you are all keeping well ? and l look forward to getting back on board very soon..Hugs to you all...Susan xSusan....http://www.blogger.com/profile/12206720496934820799noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400223376906767364.post-8109705644633865512012-05-29T15:57:00.000+02:002012-05-29T15:57:40.518+02:00Hi everyone !Hi everyone, <br />
Sorry to have been MIA ..We have been in Barcelona,visiting Sara ( our daughter ). We had a smashing time and never stopped ! It doesn't matter how many times you go there, you always discover new parts etc.This time we travelled over to Tarragona and visited the PortAventura theme park for a day.We have been a few times over the years. We had a great time at the park ! We got soaked numerous times on the water rides..and it just added to the fun. They have a new rollercoaster there,' Shambhala' and all l can say is ..It was an Experience !!! hehehe...( see it on YouTube !) Sara was free from work for 2 days , so it was great that she could join us...Back to routine now though, and just caught up with everything! So , l will be visiting you all soon to see what you have all been up to !<br />

Its been a busy few days ! I am looking forward to the weekend .My daughter ,Sara, is coming over on Sunday from Barcelona until Wednesday ,so it will be nice for her to have a break from her work and wonderful for us to have her home to spoil hehe. The weather over here has been fabulous this week,so l hope it continues over the weekend.<br />
I started a new James Pattereson book last weekend, and its so exciting, but I have not had time this week to read anymore, so l am hoping to get in the garden this weekend and enjoy my book...<br />
<br />
The card l am showing you this evening is a 6x6 card blank. I have used some distressed brown DP and a blue DP for layering and matting.l used promarkers to change the colours of the kennel and the 'woof ' die cut.l also used a dark blue and a white pencil for outlining. The coredinations brown card stock has been put through an embossing folder and lightly sanded afterwards. As l wanted this to have a rather male look to it,l have added 4 staplers just for decoration... All dies have foam pads to give them a 3D look and all materials are from my stash.<br />
I would like to pop this card into the following challenges...<br />

Happy Mothers day to those who are celebrating today. Here in Spain, its Mothers Day today, and l am very lucky as l get to celebrate two mothers days . A bit greedy l know ! l got some beautiful, sweet smelling roses from the kids . Sara texted ( she is in Barcelona ) and a text from Marcos who is holidaying in Thailand at the moment.We are out to lunch today,which will be lovely..a nice paella ! <br />
Weather this morning is horrible ! thundery storms and rain..No spanish sunshine today hehe..Not complaining though ! It means some crafting in the afternoon is in order..hehe<br />
<br />
The card l am sharing today is a 6x6 white card blank.I have used some powder blue , silky smooth DP, and the same DP in pale yellow..l love these 12x12 sheets a good friend sent me over in 5 different pastel colours..l have used the 'flower Doily' border punch from X-Cut. The ribbons, pearls,tiny butterfly (looks like he's trying to fly away !) card candi and little flower are all from my stash..<br />
