More of Moorish!

I can't get enough of this new collection from Craftwork Cards, and for some reason I have been in a flowery mood this week - perhaps it's the result of buying three bunches of daffodils which have opened and are looking so springlike and fresh, even though it's freezing outside.....

This first one was made with the flower template in this month's kit - I cut out the bowl in white and coloured with Promarkers. I added a few punched tiny flowers for centers. Don't you love the shaped messages? The shaped card came with the kit as well. The colours remind me of a bunch of anemones, one of my favourite flowers. I put a few drops of glossy accents here and there on the flowers to look like dew drops.. 

For this next one, I cut the fence using the Bloom Cricut cartridge, and embossed it with a woodgrain embossing folder by Sissix - I think it's a Tim Holtz folder. Again, I added little punched flowers and leaves and sprinkled a few gems about.......the butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch

I went to see the Matthew Bournes 'Nutcracker' last night. (Those of you not in the UK, MB is a very innovative choreographer) It was marvellous, if ever you have the chance, do go and see it. There is something about live theatre isn't there? A civilized drink before you go in, another in the interval, a great rush of people all needing the restrooms at the same time, the slow shuffle out of the theatre at the end, clapping until your hands hurt.....I love it


My little grandsons continue to keep me amused - conversation between two year old Milo and his Mummy


Where you going Mummy?
To work
Why?
Well, to earn money...
Why?
To pay for food, and holidays and toys. Can you think of something else Mummy could buy?
Pause while Milo has a think about this......
An aeroplane?


That's my boy, aim for the top, nothing short of a Lear jet will do


See you tomorrow
