Close together....

Happy Sunday!

Dropping by with my latest card creation for Teddy Bo images and these two are taken from a set of three which comes in the August Bear Bundle. Check them out HERE

I used a DL size card with some red card. I coloured the two bears with promarkers and pencils and added the sentiments and some punched hearts.

Easy and quick!

Back with another Teddy Bo Design. I thought this was very cute and the sentiment I choose will suit a friend I know lol.

The image is from the July Bundle and you can get it HERE.

I kept this card very clean and simple for a change and just layered it onto a piece of red card.

Hubby is recovering nicely from his operation but has very little voice so not much chat lol.

He is back to playing golf which is good, but only the 9 holes. Isn't life so hard!!

But it does give me peace to get on with cards in my craft room

Weather has took a turn for the better and it's very tempting to just go out to the garden.

Have a great week and thanks for dropping by.

I do like to be beside the seaside...

My first card for July showcasing the gorgeous images available this month at

How I wish I was Bo today. I'm busy finishing up a few cards before I start packing to go to Wales tomorrow for my son's wedding.

We have a little bit of sunshine today too so a nice soak at the beach would be just lovely!

We will be putting up some family members so getting house well scrubbed, ironing some curtains, getting food in, finishing table favours, printing off mass booklets, hairdresser etc etc etc.

It's going to be a long week!

Live, laugh, love with the bears

We have an amazing day here, the sun is super hot! I was away for my mammogram this morning, quick but not painless lol. But needs must.

I still have a lot of cards to get made and a lot of family birthdays to sort along with my two sons weddings in June and July so head down and off I go.

Hope everyone is keeping well and I apologise for lack of blogging at the minute.

Happy New Year!

Well how did you put in your New Year's Eve. Ours was pretty quiet besides the constant ping from phones lol. We got some snacks out, watched a film and tried our very best to see in the new year but failed at 11:30! But by the time we got into bed, the fireworks were blasting away outside so we did actually see it in lol. Lets hope its a healthy and happy new year for us all.

Thanks for dropping by and be sure and enter this months challenge!!
