Happy Birthday 21

It's raining here today.... on such days I most of the time turn to my crafting, or reading, especially when hubby is not here. He has a business dinner today and my older son is out with friends, and the younger one of course prefers the company of his computer!!  

Anyway I thought I would share this birthday card that I did for Naomi who turned 21.

Actually this card was much different before as I had done it some time ago, but it had stayed in my box as I hadn't anyone to give it to yet. Then I needed a card for a 21year old and hey ho..  thought this would be perfect. So I fixed it up to add the name and the number.

This is how it was before.

 

I really think it came out much nicer now!

So I think I will go and do some crafting now :)

Have a nice weekend

Little Animals

Good morning to all. Hope you are having a nice day and the sun is shining wherever you are :) We've had some rain yesterday and expecting more this week, but it's that time of the year so it is good, besides I'm very happy today as I've just had my first booking for July of next year for our holiday home in St Paul's Bay. It's a family of five, and they look so nice, so I'm very pleased :) yay :)

Anyway, I have a card today, my DT card for today's new challenge at

Crafting by Design

The theme for this week is

LITTLE ANIMALS

 For my card I used this cute Mel's Crow digi from our sponsor Sheep Ski Designs which I colored with my promarkers. The background DP are digi ones, and then I used lots of die cuts to make up my card. The sentiment is Hero Arts.

I hope you will be able to play along with us this week.
The prize for the lucky winner is 3 digis.

Someone Special

Hello everyone, it's Saturday, and again I spent yesterday and nearly all of today all by myself. Hubby had a team activity over the weekend and both boys are two nights away with friends... So again it was me and the dog! Now you might think that I was lonely... no way :) In fact I loved it he he but sssshhh don't tell!!! How could I be bored or lonely... After I returned from the office yesterday, I did some crafting, then in the evening being all alone I got in bed and read till late :) This morning I woke up late, again more time reading and then I had some housework to do... but it was just  perfect :P

Anyway, since it's Saturday, it's time again for me to share another DT card. Today it's for the new challenge that started today at
Crafty Friends

We got a nice and easy theme for you

SOMEONE SPECIAL

 For my card I got to choose an image from one of our sponsor and I just couldn't resist this darling Summer Ice-Cream digi from DigiStamps 4 Joy... well I'm sure you know how much I love the summer, and sea and etc etc etc  :) .. already counting the days for when I can feel the HOT summer weather and go swimming again! 

Not that it's cold now, still warm with just some rain now and then... In fact I was thinking that I could try to persuade hubby to head to the beach tomorrow, as the weather is lovely... will see!

Anyway, onto my card again.. and I colored the image with my promarkers... using fun and bright colors to match the beautiful background DP and pretty flowers which were a gift from my dear friend Karen. Thanks xx 

Some gems, green colored circle shaped peel offs and of course the sentiment to finish it off!

ANYTHING GOES

 We got to choose images from our sponsor Odd Ball Art to make our card and I chose the fun Whimsical Dancing Trees Set 3. I colored them with my promarkers and cut them up and popped them up with foam for some dimension.

In this card there is one of them and in the other card you can see the other tree. I ended up making two cards he he :) Thought some Christmas cards would always come in handy :)

and I was really enjoying myself!
