Happy Birthday Kris

We'll my little boy just ain't that little anymore...
Last week he turned 26...
I really can't put into words how proud I am of him. He has turned into a wonderful, kind, thoughtful, caring and helpful young man.
I think he is just incredible.
This is the birthday card I made for him...

We always have so much fun when we are together. 

It was great to get the drawing pencils and pens out again. Its been too long!

Whatever you are doing this weekend, have fun.

Happy crafting

80th celebrations

Today the card I want to share with you all is a commission card that I did a few months ago.
It had to have a gift on it, pinks and purples and flowers.....
This is what I came up with...

 Aunt Sadie loved it!
Phew, glad I got the design right.....
Sometimes it's really hard to work out what to do, especially when you don't know the person that the card is for.... so it's really rewarding when you get the feedback that the person loves what you have created.

I've been busy getting inky fingers over the weekend..... working with the fantastic inks from Oak House Studio..... I am loving their inks and stamps - great quality!!!!!
The bits I am working on are for their show on Hochanda.....
I'll share them with you as soon as I can.....

Have fun, whatever you are up to.
Happy crafting

A4 for Ava

The card that I am sharing with you today is one that I made for a friend a while ago.
She wanted the card for a special little lady in her life.

I think Ava felt very special when she saw the card had been made just for her!

I love adding a little bit of bunting to fun cards like this.... makes a huge difference to the finished card.

I always love creating projects for people who I know appreciate it.
I love it when I get something hand crafted....

Busy couple of days here at crafty towers..... hopefully, lots to show you very soon.

Chloe turned 18

First of all, sorry about the pic..... I left it far too late at night to edit.... just about asleep on my feet...
But I wanted to share todays card before I climb the stairs to slumberland....

This was a commisson card for Chloe..... guess how old she turned! lol

 Here are a few close ups (again, sorry about the light.......)

I love this ribbon - it's from Lidl and comes in lots of different colours.... It's worth keeping an eye out for and grabbing it when you can.
The beads and different strands are all on the one spool.
Fab value for money!

Back tomorrow with a sneaky peek.......
And another project....

For now.... off to bed...
Nighty night...

It's a very special day today!

My son Kris turns 25 today.....
25!!! How the devil did THAT happen!!!

I couldn't be prouder of the wonderful man he has become. I fell in love with him before he was born and I am so amazingly lucky to have been blessed with Kris as my son and that I was part of the adventure that his childhood was.

This is the card that I made for him today.....

Happy birthday Kris!!!
Here's to the next 25 years.....
Love you to the moon and back xxx

Hopefully by the time this post goes up, he will have opened his prezzies and read the card.... lol

Have a great crafty day, whatever you are all doing.
