Hi guys sorry it's been a while since i last posted anything we've just had so much going on lately.

As some of you know Beth, Emden and Ry are coming back to the UK. they had planned to later this year anyway but Emdens mum Cheryl was shot just over a month ago and Beth doesn't feel safe raising her son over there any more.

It was our 24th wedding anniversary on Monday (i know i know I'd'd have got less for murder lol)

but it turned out to be the worst anniversary ever. Lee's mum died so we went round to say our good byes and spent time with lee's dad.

the card below is the card I made for Ron. just something very simple and sweet. i didn't want to go down the line of crosses or the hands of god.

so this week has been a week of nipping round both the dads to make sure they are ok (my own mum past 9 years ago 3 days before Christmas) and my dad still has his ups and downs.

Anyway today...

I'm not goinge out the house all this standing up has made my joints in my hips and spine very sore so I decided that i was going to have a sort out on my craft desk.... like that's happened, instead I done the front to my new promarker blends book. I've you the sbs stamp betty antoinette, have I said before I love bettys stamps she is so talented. I'm not sure where i got the backing paper from think it was from a kit fro, granny enchanted blog spot. and I've just finished it off with teh blue peel off border and a few stars.

the book itself is from re-create sltd where my son jay works. 

so I'm now off to try and sort my desk out lol

hugs and kisses

Hi guys, sorry I've not posted for a little while but I've been more preoccupied with Beth and emden,

we are all working together to get them and Ryry over here to the UK next month. Some already knew they were coming here next year, but Emden's mother was shot out the front of the house where beth lives so none of them feel safe and it's worse having a new baby in the house with that thought.

Sooooooo anyway today I lost my voice (caught a cold off Emma) so I've been working on this card. it's Betty boom by simply Betty stamps. as everyone knows i love her digi's.

This one is for the monthly challenge. i've coloured her in using promarkers. the box i gave the fire look colour to go with the TNT :) and blinged it up  for Christmas. the flowers in the corners are rolled handmade flowers they are made from an old book and after i cut the rounds out i coloured them in red and just finished them off with some curling ribbon.

won a challenge with simply betty stamps.

just a quick not to say a massive thankyou to who ever chose my card for the betty antionette  card i made, it won the challenge over on +Simply Betty Stamps  i won a $15 voucher (which i've spent ) on a few more of  bettys stamps

This is one card i've made from one digi  her name is lilliana fairy and can be found over on betty's website http://simplybstamps.net/

twisted snowflake

Hi guys todays make was a large twisted snowflake. i was showing my niece how to make one and couldn't just leave the job half done.

this are simple enough to make but i always fine the centre to look a mess so i've added a little extra to it.

My pain levels have been through the roof of late again and i've had alot of trouble even just walking round the house. but with the meds i was able to make a small trip round  the range yesterday where emma got me some new crafty bits for christmas, but boy did i suffer lastnight and today for doing that. not to worry though.

I've got a little free quiet time on my hands at the moment lee is up the hospital having another mri on the base of his back to see what good this last op he had done.

Hi guys, this is my card made for the simply betty's challenge this month. i've used the pilgrim corinne which again was fab to colour and all the backing papers and ribbon i've used are fall colours :D

my little ryry now 6 weeks old

hi guys thought i would add some new pictures of my grandson ryry, his now 6 weeks old and always smiles when he see's his gran on the webcam. i so can't wait to get my hands and have massive cuddles with this little guy :) i will get that chance soon though but that will all come clear in time 

betty antionette digi's

Hi guys these are a couple of cards i've made using the new Betty Antionette digi's from the fab simply betty stamps.

 this one i've done is the no pupils digi coloured in promakers 

 i loved the idea of giving her the big black eyes instead of adding a colour

this is the second card i made using teh with pupils digi. i've made this one nice and simple by just adding the 3 flowers and a feather
