Additions to My Stash

Sorry I have been absent for a while - but I had a good excuse, I have been visiting New York!

Whilst I was there, I had to visit the famous 'Michael's' craft shop, and did not come away empty handed. They didn't have many stamps, but I did pick up lots of embellishments - including this little bundle.

Birthdays Galore!

This week is the busiest for card making - as I have my Husband's, 2 aunts, a cousin, a nephew and a work colleagues birthday all within 7 days!

I have to be prepared in advance or I would never manage to cope.

These are some of the cards I made for this manic week -I am off to New York with my husband for our 30th wedding anniversary next month, so had to feature that on the card!

Big Blooms and mounting excitement!

A couple of cards this week made with the big Papermania die cut blooms with button centres

Soon I will be off on a girly trip to New York to celebrate my 50th birthday. It will be hard to fit in all the sightseeing and shopping into just a few days, but we will! 

However, I will be foregoing a trip on the Staten Island Ferry to go craft shopping - and first on the list is Michaels!! I'm leaving plenty of space in the suitcase for a new handbag and lots of Christmas crafting items.

My sisters New York themed birthday card

My sisters birthday is just 4 days after mine and a week after my sons, so August is an expensive time for my family!

As I am 50 this year, we are going on a girly shopping trip to New York later this month with my Mum and Aunt - no boys allowed!

I have never been there before, so really looking forward to seeing the sites and grabbing a few bargains. I have had these Debbi Moore designs for a while but they are ideal for my sisters card, so I hope she likes it!
