The sweetest flower.....

........kindness that is!

Hello to all on this fine Thursday, I hope you are keeping well!? Beautiful sunshine outside & a little warmth, funny how it makes you feel happier isn't it?!

OK then, this card. I have to say I enjoy making cards (else I wouldn't do it..lol) but this one I really enjoyed making. When I'd finished it my hubby saw it & commented "it's very you!" now I took that in the best way possible, as otherwise I could take it that he thinks I'm 'distressed & frayed at the edges!!!' lol!

The beautiful goodies I've used were mainly all from the fabby things Vicki & Cass sent me for my birthday a few weeks ago. (Huge hugs girlies!!) Papers are BoBunny which have had just the slightest of distressing lol, image one of the very beautiful Gorjuss girls, & a few bits'n'bobs from my stash.

The sentiment is a verse I found on the net, & I wanted to break it up so as it reads in different ways hence the lift up flap.

Image has been coloured with my yummy Copic Ciao's, which I'm still loving!!!! I think it's fab how you turn a white piece of card with a stamped image on into something totally different by adding a bit of colour. Can you tell how much I like these Copics?!.......lol!

Anyway, as its one of my friends birthdays is next week I think I'll give her this card & in the mean time doing this one has given me quite a few ideas for other cards I'm planning to make, I'll show you when they're done.

Many thanks for popping by & I hope to see you again soon.

Hugs, Kerry xxx

Now for something 'grown up'.......

Hi all, I hope you are well, & 'truly' happy the the fab sunshine we're getting at the moment. Please let it stay, maybe til September time.........lol!
Now back to the daily routine of school run & ferrying the boys around to their various weekly activities, having had a fab time camping last week. Some how we managed to have mostly dry weather, one small downpour when we were on the beach one day but the kiddiwinks would have been happy to carry on with their castle building & cricket game! Roll on the next half term when we're off again, can't wait!!!

Here we have a card I made for one of my friends just before I went away. She sent me a message asking if I still made cards as she was trying to find something for her In-laws 45th Anniversary, with not much luck! So, showing her a Ruby card I'd made a while back I asked if something similar would suit......answer Yes!
Papers are all from a freebie download kit from Shabby Princess, ribbon, lace & buttons from my stash, verse from web. On the previous card I made I used a Wedding day piccie but my friend was unable to get one of her in-laws, so I found this copyright free image on the net & thought it would fit nicely.

As the title says, I see these kind of cards as 'grown up' probably because I don't make many like this but luckily my friend was pleased with the end result!

Oh well, I'd better go & finish the rest of my ironing..........the not nice part of going away!! lol

Hugs, Kerry xxx

Bundle of joy freebie......

Hello on this sunny Saturday! (not going to emphasis the weather, just in case it changes...lol)

Here we have another of those doodles I've been popping on here this week. I have to say it is one of my fav's, simple & yet apt. Can't believe it was a year ago since I drew this one. The card that I used it on was for the lil cute fella whose cards I popped on a couple of weeks ago, where does the time go?!

Anyway, as with all of the other freebies if you would please respect my copyright & if you feel you can use any of them pop a message on for me, I'd love to have a nosey & see what fabby things you've done with them.

Well, back to the packing. Tent, sleeping bags & cooking equip are all sorted, so if I don't post before I'll 'see' you when I get back!

Hugs, Kerry xxx

Rain, rain go away!!!......

"Rain, rain go away come again another day!!!"
Says it all really, sun doesn't seem to want to come out for us today however I've got my fingers, toes & anything else possible crossed that the weather will get better as we are off camping on Monday! I can hope.....lol.

Here we have a card I made last week for my Nephew Marshall who will be 6 on Saturday. At the moment he & the rest of Jools gang are having a fantastic time at Disney Florida. The boys didn't know they were going & when they were awoke early last Friday morning & were told, bearing in mind they were half asleep Marshall's reaction was " I don't want to go there, I want to go camping!"........lol, he soon changed his mind though!!!

Papers, lettering & elements are all from the same Sweet Shoppe Designs digi kit as before, 'Father knows best'. Image very kindly given to me & coloured with Copics.

Oh well, better get on with some washing & ironing.....grrrrr, my pet hate. I've a few more freebies to pop on so soon as I've sorted the next one out today or tomorrow I'll post it on here.

Bye for now, Kerry xxx

Todays freebie.......

Happy sunny Wednesday to all!

Here's another of my dust laden doodles...lol. When I drew this one I thought he was quite cute but never got around to using him for some reason. So, again if anyone could make use of him feel free. All I ask is that you respect my copyright, thank you.

Today, I'm having a crafty day with my lil friend Holly who also chose 'bookworm' above to be the next freebie. I'll pop the results on of our crafting session at a later date.

Enjoy your day!

Present freebie......

Hello & happy Tuesday to you all!
Having a look through some of my doodles last night I realised there were a few I'd drawn some time back for myself, used them once & then forgotten about them. So, rather than have them using space up on my computer & doing nothing much else I thought it might be nice to pop a few more freebies on my blog. Hopefully others may be able to make use of them.
They are in the same style as the other freebies, cool dude & the couple.
Anyway, here's the first one & I'll pop the others on throughout the week.
As before, if you could just respect my copyright.

Happy crafting,
Kerry xxx

A couple of cards......

Here we have a card I made for a friend last week. Papers are all from a free digital download kit at Shabby Princess. Image was kindly given to me & I've coloured it in with my fabby Copics. Sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

This card was also for a friends birthday. Papers are from a digital kit from Sweet Shoppe Designs. Image was very kindly sent to me by Vicki & again has been coloured with ........you guessed it, Copics. Flowers have been punched & layered using silicone glue, to give dimension. Sentiment from Craftwork cards.

Hope you all had a great weekend & if this is the start of your Easter hols enjoy!!!!!

Kerry xxx

Thank yous!!!......

Hello to all, I hope you are enjoying your weekend?!
Well, what a busy week the last one has been but every bit enjoyable...lol. I've been crafting lots, the results of which I'll post at a later time but best of all Wednesday was my birthday......yay!!!!
Not sure how many more years will deserve a yay but for now I'll carry on saying it. At the grand old age of 34, (old being the operative word in the view of my youngest.....bless him!!?) I had a lovely day, & day after 'lunching' & 'dining' with friends. You can't beat it!

To my total surprise I had the pleasure of receiving a couple of parcels from my fabby crafty buddies Cass & Vicki. Huge thanks to them both for what can only be described as gorgeous cards & the most yummy goodies which they sent me. However how they expect me to cut up the papers I don't know........they're definitely the kind to look at, too pretty to even consider putting a craft knife to them.....lol!

Thank you Cass!!!!!!

Thank you Vicki!!!!!!

This was the gorgeous card I received from my sis-in-law Jools. The card itself so beautiful but inside an equally beautiful verse. Thank you Jools!!!!!!

And, last but by no means least was this very special card I received from my lil crafty friend Holly. You might remember I told you about her a few posts back when she had asked me to make 'a get better soon' card for her Mom. Bearing in mind she is only six, I think this is a fantastic card.

Well done Holly!!!!!!

Luv & hugs to you all!!!
