I really wanted to do a boy cow card but me being ME and also blonde I totally forgot- YES FORGOT that BOY cows don't have UDDERS!!! I know I know, how could I not realise.....blonde....sick....well that's my excuse :) So I covered the udder with the ribbon and am not sure I pulled it off but I like the card lol......

Items used: Bazzil cardstock, bella paper, my minds eye paper, Claudia Cow, flowers, buttons, ribbons & brads

And on another note....my grandad is back in hospital....really not looking good. I'm feeling so down. AND to top it off my son has bronchi phenmonia back again! He is so not well and oh the crying!!!! My head is pounding as I'm not feeling 100% - my gosh I can't wait for hubby to be on days off :(

So hence why the lack of cards....I've been watching Toy Story on repeat!!! I'm sure I know it word for word ;)

Claudia Cow

I came across Claudia Cow at Digital Delights and I just had to have her! I then was racking my brain (difficult, let me tell you lol!) for a cow saying and came up with 'Have a Moo-gical Day'! Honestly, I thought I was quite funny - my sense of humour really does only amuse me!

And anyways I was in such a PINK Mode that I thought why not try something totally different and put pink on the cow....so I did! I love both of these cards and am not sure which one I like more...

A very boyish card

My nephew broke his arm on the weekend and needed surgery. He's only 3 (almost a big 4) and thought he was superman flying off his bed!! I'm surprised it's not my son who had the first broken bone in the family lol....as he does the same thing and he's 2!

So being the boyish BOY my nephew is I made this card for him using this very boyish image from Digital Delights - isn't Rocketing Ridley just adorable!


I think it's come out very boyish and he'll love it, he's a no fuss type of little boy. So buttons were a must. I couldn't bling it up because he'd tell me that 'diamonds' are for girls lol! I actually coloured in the darker grey with a black water colour pencil and then blended it with my copic blender. It's come out quite well and almost scratchy looking which I quite liked!

I'm having issues with watermarks and whilst hubby almost has it under control (lol) and seeing as he's at work and I'm impatient :) I wanted to post this .......NOW! LOL. So I will add that the wonderful and talented Wendy Hall, creator of Digital Delights sent me this fabulous image to work with. I'm so grateful to be able to use her creations as they are always what I'm looking for! So thank you Wendy :) and I promise to have these 'issues' sorted asap!

Paper from My Minds Eye, ribbon and buttons from reject shop, bazzil cardstock, copics.

Have a great day!

A special card for a special little girl....

A very good friend of mine's little girl Miss K is going into hospital soon for a kidney operation. Miss K has been sick on and off for quite some time and I know this operation will make her better! My thoughts have been with her mum and dad lately and whilst I have been caught up in my own little world of problems I always think of J and her little Miss K.

I decided to make a card using Wonderland Briley who is just SUPER CUTE! She can be purchased from Digital Delights store .

I hope she likes this card that's coming her way......xxxx



Happy Easter to all!
K
