Most liked cards of 2014

Hi friends, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I know I did, a very busy one but also a great  one too.     Just need to eat up all the left overs and all will  be well. Fasting today and also eyeing up all the  yummy chocolates I seem to have aquired ;)         I am popping  by today to show you a few  cards from last year. It was supposed to be  just five but another one just sneaked under the  radar but I included another at the end as it was  my most liked/pinned one of 2014.     The Thinking of You one was pinned almost as  much , only one less infact. Strange sometimes which ones are liked best by others.  My favourite was the Purple Daisy one I think :)     Notice the lack of PINK too he he....well except  for a bit on the last one!       Anyway here they are, come and have a closer look....       ps. Freebie calendars on previous posts too, lots of them!      Also linking up with Debby who is hosting another best  liked five cards of 2014 link up!

Hi friends, just popping in once more to share another two calendars that I have made.     Hope you like them and that you are almost ready for Christmas now. I did the last of my food shopping today, why do we need so  much lol !     Anyway enjoy your day whatever you have  planned. I am just going to relax for the rest of  mine after another busy morning.       I will be back tomorrow with the last of my  calendars to share with you. Bye for now ;)       ps.Save them as soon as you can as I will remove  them after the New Year as they are such large files  and hence take up by blog space.

Freebie Calendars no 2 and 3

Hi friends, like everyone else I am knee deep in  Xmas stuff atm. Cleaning/shopping/cooking today!       So just  quickly  popping in  with two  more calendars I have made to share with you.       I will post two more tomorrow  (I am hoping) and a final one on Wed. More beach ones and the Wed one has lovely roses on it just for your info.      I may do some month ones later on if you want them too,  what do you think?       They are quite large files so I will probably remove them at a later date. So save them now if you want them. See you tomorrow ;)

He got 2 months off that for pleading guilty....albiet  at the last minute.      He may get deported afterwards too. As he is on benefits I think that's a good thing ! He has done  other burglaries in Poland, hence the sentence.      Also 8 lots of glass on his clothing, as only 3 were from our door he has done it others also! At least there won't be  any more victims whilst he is in  prison over Xmas !          

A Little Lovin' card and a freebie!

    Hi everyone, I hope you are all well and almost ready for the big day! I think I am just about, house  decorated  to within an inch of it's life lol.     All Xmas cards  posted , pressie's wrapped now,  fridge heaving with food/drink etc..........and relax! I am posting my usual 'LIM' card today, the theme this time is........     'Family'     LIM's  DT member Jen is leaving us too, sob sob, she will be sorely missed by all of us I am sure! I just adored Jen's beautiful cards. I wish her  a Happy Christmas and good luck  in her new job.       As everyone who saw my previous post will know, we are going to be grandparents once more ;) Yipee! ...so excited by that I could jump up and  down !       So my card just had to be another baby card again. I just adored this sweet image as soon as I saw it. I think it will get used a lot ! I hope you all have a lovely time whatever your plans  are for Christmas and  the New Year.        Also a big thank you for all the amazing comments  you have left for me over the past year, all most  appreciated.     As a little thank you I have made a few calendars  to share with you all. I hope I have got the size right.       I did a test print and they printed out fine for me. I will post the first one today and a few others  during the coming week. Enjoy your Christmas ;) xx

Baby card...... and some good news!

Hi friends, I am so excited today to be able to share a bit of good news for a change. We are very happy to announce that we are expecting another grandbaby again!       A lovely brother/sister for Alexander ;) It will be our 4th and last I think so very special as  you  can imagine. A few early problems and lots of scans but the latest scan and blood tests say all  is well.     It's 3 months now too so I can spread the word. We have known from almost the first month so it's  been so hard to keep quiet. It will be nice to have a  Summer baby this time also, the last three all arrived  in Winter.        Anyway here is the congratulations card I made  yesterday, just before I received news from our son  that all the tests were good.I can send it now ;)     No blue or pink of course as we don't know the  sex as yet.  So I went for lilac ;)      Come and have a closer look........

Good morning playmates, a very early start for me again  today.....4 am. to be exact! arrrgghh....yes I have yet  another cold. Cough cough cough cough...so glad I  can't infect you lol ;)       Anyway it gives me  several hours   a chance to be able  to post another  card I made late Saturday. Heck I  even had time to make   loads of new footers a new  Xmas footer, hope you  like it.    

I did a bit of masking and Distress inking, then a bit of  chalking and some glitter for the snowy banks....hope  you can see the glitter!         Notice I resisted the temptation to add some flying  birds as I always seem to do that lol. After all  .........Less is More ;)       Here is my card anyway come and have a closer peek...

Winter Wishes card

Hi friends, here is my latest card for the 'Less is More' challenge this week.     The theme is a colour one this time, (see the picture below my card). They want us to  take inspiration from this beautiful Design  Seeds picture.     What lovely colours, trust me to have used that  colour last week too......why does that always  happen  ;)       Anyway here is my card, come and have a  closer look........well after my usual ps. that is!


ps. I am late posting my card this time as I have  been busy getting the house ready for Christmas etc. We decided on a smaller tree which will go on top  of a lovely antique table we have.      With three grandchildren under 3 I thought it best  lol.It's up now and all the decorations too whoo hoo!
      We had  them all over at the weekend so  hence I am  playing catch up once again!        All presents bought now at least just got to wrap them all.  Christmas cards finished  too just got to address those now .....and relax!      Our son has sold his house again ( last sale fell through) and they have found another house (even nicer than the  last one they wanted too).        Fingers crossed it all goes to plan now. Then we can  move nearer to them next year we  are hoping. I also  hope  to have some other good news to tell you very  soon  ;)        

I used Glamour dust on the first two letters, the ink is shades of blue and turquoise.
