Back to School
Well after a busy and fun filled summer, work and school beckons. Ellie-May now embarking on her last year in primary education, Lilah having another two years. Big changes and new adventures ahead.
Camping with the girls
Northern Ireland has so many beautiful places to go and visit, before the girls started back to school after their summer break we headed down to Kilbroney Forest Park. It is a very beautiful part of Northern Ireland and was a perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors, get us out in the fresh air…
Sending Love
These simple little cards were projects that my monthly Stamp Camp girls got to make. I used the Stampin’ Up! notecards and envelopes as a base. They are great value and really good for batch making cards. I featured the Whole Lot of Lovely Suite. I tried to feature as much of the suite that…
A Card with a difference
It’s always a little daunting when someone asks you to come up with ‘something different’ from the usual run of the mill cards you can purchase in shops. I think pop-up box cards or a card-in-a-box worked a treat. Each one I see and make always have the ‘wow’ factor, they can be tailored to…
Romania 2017
We decided to head back to Romania for a working holiday. We flew into Bucharest and spent a few days at the local water park, it was bliss. We made the long journey to Sighişoara to spend the rest of our time with my parents and the teams they had out working with them. We…
You Move Me
Well Stampin’ Up! have completely surprised me with this bundle, it is totally amazing!! The images are stamped in a darker and lighter shade so that when you place them behind the grid window (which is cut out of card using a framelit die) it gives the illusion that the butterfly, or humming bird in…
Lego Graduate
A little different from the usual frame requests I get. I loved making these, they are so novel and very personal to the people they were made for. They can be tailored to the individual also because Lego provide heads with different facial features and also different hair styles and hair colours…pure genius.
A little home decor
So over this last number of months I have been dabbling in a little home decor. I live in a relatively new house, although I am very grateful for my home, it lacks character like the older houses would have. It’s very square and doesn’t have nooks and crannies for the odd little piece of…
Celebrating my wonderful Mummy
My mummy, Linda, is one of the most loving and kindest people you could ever meet. All through her life she has always strived to put her family and others first. She and my father work tirelessly in Romania helping others. We celebrated her 60th birthday amongst friends and family after a surprise trip to…
Teacher Gifts
Our children are with their teachers and classroom assistants for at least 6 hours of the day so I love to take the time and make them each handmade gifts, they put so much time and effort into my children, I feel it’s the least I can do, here is a collection of some of…
