Long time no see

Hellooo blogworld,

Bet you thought I'd vanished of the face of the earth didn't you!  I haven't, but I have been rather busy in real world, so no time to create or blog.

Firstly, a big hello and wave to my new followers.  Hope you like it here and apologies to everyone for not getting round any blogs, at the moment I'm barely keeping up with DT commenting let alone my own.  I will be doing a huge catch up early next week when I get back to normal.

Not been the best week ever, missed all the Jubilee celebrations - had to get the holiday place ready for guests for arrivals on the Friday and again on the Monday - so busy there.

Been nowhere at all - got a poorly hubby, a daughter who thinks it's OK to write on walls (so trips / treats cancelled) and poor weather = a very bored daughter, grumpy mummy and one of the worst holiday weeks I can remember!!  I wonder sometimes what goes on a small person mind, I mean love her to bits - but my goodness she can be a handful!!!!

Anyway, it will be over soon and I'll be able to get back to my routines and making cards!!

Just to keep you going here is a card I had to make for the weekend - another child's birthday party, got one every weekend for the next 3 weekends.  The last one is Emily's birthday party and we are fingers crossed for good weather, otherwise we are on the hunt for a local hall.

Anyways, me card:

Front shot:


Detail of image:




I used:

Stamp
Sugar Nellie - Little Farmer; coloured with my Promarkers
Sentiment - Blonde Moments

Papers
The spots is a random piece from my stuff
echo park - A boy's life

Die
Memory Box - Picket Fence

Everything else
Buttons from my stuff

So hopefully things should calm down at home soon and I'll get back to blogging and creating very soon.  Until then please bear with me and I'll try and catch up with you all soon.

Cheerio
Sarah

A challenge, or two:

The Sugar Bowl: Challenge 85 - Kiki's Sketch.  Sorry had to move the sentiment as I had a bit of an accident with the paper and needed to hide it!

Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes

and, for fun, Lisa's Wast not Wednesday - the stamp again.  Won it last year in the Sugar Bowl and not used it since.

Great boys card Sarah. I'm no good at making male cards, I really should make the effort and try to do more. The males in my family usually get a shop bought card from me!

I will be glad when this week is over. Amelia-Grace is driving me crazy. She has been to parties, the park and a trip to the seaside this week but she is still too loud, and hyper! I'm so tired because she just wont sleep. Roll on Monday!

Lovely cheery papers and perfect embellies for a boy card! :)

Hope your little princess has been behaving better hun, I'm sure she is only testing boundaries - we all do it ;) and to use a well worn cliche - its probably just a wee phase! lol :)
