Hope your day is Fabulous

Here is the card I've made for Februarys CCC which is hosted by Deborah over at Society of Stampaholics.  I have used the colours and layout for my design - combining a distress inked background with die cut leaves and tiny flowers and a hand made flower. Finished off with a sentiment strip and tiny silver pearls.  Thanks for taking a peek

 

Friday Smiles

WEEK 159 - Friday Smiles at A Stitch in Time  

A busy time and lots of progress on the house this week, so we are extremely happy....   Tuesday the beams and trusses were hoisted into place with a crane

 and today the roof was prepared with batons, fascias and gutters ready for the roofing on Monday.

 also during the week the insulation was installed and all going well the cladding will go on the walls tomorrow...yes they are working on Saturdays.

Here's my "funny" for a chuckle this week

AND OOOOH don't I just enjoy a long hot, sudsy soak in the bath!!!   Do you??

Have you a happiness to share this week, join in over at Annies Blog

Enjoy your weekend, cheers

happy happy happy birthday

Here's my cheerful happy happy happy birthday card for the Stamplorations February CASEplorations challenge - inspired by the lovely card by Anita. I created the background card with Magical Mica Mist - love the bright colours. Triple die cut the word Happy and stamped the Birthday sentiment...the hardest part is collecting all the small cutouts and gluing them in place.  Thanks for taking a peek

A Gift for You

Well I've been looking forward to some me time so today I hid myself away with my crafty stuff and have some fun.  My first card is for the Inspired by ... All the Little Things #3 photo challenge.... I interpreted the tiered cake to make a card with the Easy Triple Time technique but instead of layering each piece I embossed the edges with pearl gold. I stamped, coloured and rough cut the image and finished with a stamped sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek

Friday Smiles

  Week 158  - Friday Smiles at A Stitch in Time

 Look Look Look - we have frame work up on the house extensions ...

Down the side they've just started to extend out from the existing rooms - two rooms in the area will be increased in size.

 This section out the back is a complete new bedroom, study and ensuite.

We have been up bright and early three mornings this week to paint the exterior cladding - we got and system going with the painting and only worked a few hours in the morning before it got too hot.

Then this afternoon it was so very hot we invited ourselves over to our friends place for a lovely cool off in their pool.

 Here's my favorite pic for the week... little Mia on the floor with their cat Luna...who loves to give kitty cuddles (head rubs) to Mia.

and ... we've been trying to get a few pics of the sisters together to send to the great grandparents - here's a pretty cute one of Sophie and Mia

So this week even though we've had a few 'moments' with the building, overall I'm amazed and pretty happy with the fact that we are actually doing this build.

How has your week been?  please join in at Annies blog and share your happy moments.

Thanks for dropping by and do enjoy your weekend, cheers

Just for You

Today I am finishing off another card in progress - for Inspired by All the Little Things #2.

These summery colours of the inspiration photo suited this floral stamp from IBS - then a simple layering onto patterned paper and die cut to form a frame.
