Joyce's birthday

Happy birthday Joyce!

My lovely friend Joyce is 60 today, I'm sure she won't mind me telling everyone!

I've made a card inspired by one of my other lovely friends, Maria Adams, hope you like it:



I've used some papers from my stash along with the Vintage Vogue stamp set and flower from the Pretties Kit by Stampin' Up.

I'm off to Newbury for the Artstamps show today. Its all work again around here, what a job - but someone has to do it!

Have a happy day everyone.

Oh blogs!!!!

Things were calming down around here so I started to blog earlier and wish I hadn't bothered! I signed in and was greated with the opportunity to update my blog with ease - my foot!

I thought I would give it a try and lost so much, nothing worked and I still can't get things back to normal, even my very own tech guy has given up on it - he is so cross I didn't make a copy first!

Oh well this will have to do for now, I will try again next week. But in the meantime, I was crafting with my lovely friend Rose, yesterday afternoon and this is what we came up with, two lovely scrapbooking layouts, using the lovely Cottage Wall DP from Stampin' Up along with Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White:





Have a great weekend.

Happy crafting.

Catherine's 21st Celebration

A couple of months ago my lovely friend Angela invited me to her beautiful daughter's 21st birthday party at "Le Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons". We had such a wonderful day there and the most fabulous lunch. I think the main highlight for Catherine was Raymond Blanc coming in to thank her for choosing his restaurant for the celebration, by walking over to her and kissing her on the cheek.

I couldn't resist doing a little memory album of the day, it's taken me some time but I am pleased with how it has turned out. I have left spaces for her to journal her feelings and the names of everyone there.


Here are the photos of the pages in the album:




















We all love Catherine very much and we really hope she like this little gift she has had to wait sometime for.


All supplies for this album were from Stampin' Up, embellished with die cuts from my Cricut and sizzix.
