Chicago Rock

Ok so I am here today to share a commission with you, one of the lads that Nige works with asked me to make a wedding anniversary card for his wife.....I said ok, teddies, flowers, bunnies etc....

NOPE, he wanted a couple kissing, not so difficult. But then he asked if they could be standing in front of Chicago Rock Cafe, because thats were they met.

So with some help from my fabulous crafty friends on Facebook, I came up with this.....

Its on an 8" square card base....I quite like it now its finished lol!!!

It's A Boy!

Today's Try Stampin' on Tuesday creation, has been made for some friends of ours. Who seem to have been pregnant forever! Poor love glad its not me, madness in the winter but being pregnant when its hot...no thanks!! 

She gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy Tom, on the 10th August. We haven'e been to see the little cutie yet as they have a lot of family, fingers crossed for this weekend xx

Anyhoos, the reason behind this image....Our friend is the kinda Dad who just does the fun bits, no nappy changing, feeding etc unless he is on his own with bubbs. If anyone else is around they always end up doing it lol....so this image just seemed perfect!

Don't forget there is a sketch to follow, you will find it here or scroll down to the end of my post. You have the option of the theme which is HAPPY!

New Home

Before I get to today's creation, I want to wish our baby girl Danni a very Happy 18th Birthday. Love you xx

Today's creation is a 'just because' make that I made a while ago for my friend & boss Amy (of Natalie & Amy's). She has recently moved into her new house, she is sharing with her sister. So I thought I'd make them a card to celebrate.

I have had this 'Make It Crafty' image for an absolute age & only used it once. This time I decided to use my new Spectrum Aqua pens for colouring & I will say I am really happy with the end result.
