Over on the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog we have a great Photo Inspiration Challenge.

CHALLENGE #44 PHOTO INSPIRATION

still hard to choose which route to go down!  The DT had fun trying
to work this one out! But they still came up with some gorgeously cute examples to give you inspiration!! We are looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it!!

Mothers Day ........... a bit late on the blog

Hi guys,

Well I thought it was time I got back into blogland......

So I had lots of Mother's day cards to create..........  orders for a few friends and then three for my own personal use.

The three I made for my personal use are pictured below.  I have used ready made flowers from Papermania and some toppers from my stash.  The flowers were distressed and inked using TH distress inks.  The papers are from the same stash as the toppers.

The swirls are cut with a Tim Holtz die.

Hope you like them.  All the Mum's did.

Tim Holtz and my daughter's prom

Hi guys, (Thats if any of you are still checking in :-(

I apologise for not being around much.  Family life has taken over a bit and crafting has taken a back seat.    I have been doing a few bits and pieces and will be uploading them over the next few days.

But first my gorgeous baby turned 16 in January and then, had her prom last month.  Bless them, it snowed on the evening and was absolutely freezing but they all had a fantastic time.

Here she is.  We bought her dress and then made and added all the lovely blue flowers (Tim Holtz Tattered Florals) on her dress and for her hair.

I am of course biased, but I think she looked amazing and I am very proud of her.

Hugs
