What a week!

 Hi! Well what a week i have had! Firstly the most exciting news...my Sister had  a baby girl on the 8th!  She is gorgeous.  Her name is Sophia and her weight was 6lb14oz. She is a little doll! The picture below is off my daughter, Carrie, feeling very proud of her baby cousin on the day she got home from hospital. My sisters other little girl, Ava who is 3, is so proud of her little Sister and is already very protective of her. 

The next bit of new is that we are moving house! we moving in 13 days! The house is in the same street but is a lot more suitable for us. The kids are so excited. David has been packing lots of things that we dont use all the time. I am tired watching him! I dont know where to start packing up my craft stuff. My stash has grew bigger and bigger over the past few years. We will need a van just for this alone!!

Anyway, i have another engagement card that i was asked to make for someone. 

I have used my neglected magnolia stamp. I love this colour at them moment. feels so fresh and light.

Here is my card...

Crafty Calendar Challenge - Love and Marriage!

Hi , I hope you are having a good weekend.  I have had a lazy day yesterday and didnt get round to doing. The day just flew past and before i knew it the day was gone! I am going to have a crafty day today (well thats the plan!) I have been working on a Inspiration Journal which has been good fun creating. I will show some pictures once i get some more pages done.

Anyway i am here with my DT card for the Craft Calendar Challenge.

This month the theme is ..

"Love and Marriage"

I had someone order a engagement card last week so i decided to use this for the challenge. Last week i tided up my all my stamps and put them into some kind of order again and cleaned them all up properly so i came across stamps that i have not used for so long.  This LOTV stamp was a favourite of mine when it was released but it had sadly been neglected so thought it would be good for this card. 

Here it is...
