MIA.....

Afternoon all just a quick post to say sorry been missing again....

As some of you know my Grandad has been really ill and he sadly passed away on Saturday, so life has been a bit hectic around here.  I also have to have another health review for my PHI so I'm dreading that too...

I also have Dora coming over from Malta tomorrow to stay for the weekend and we are off to the NEC on Saturday too, yay!

So I do hope to be back in the swing of it next week, and catch up with visiting blogs, commenting and hopefully some creations.

Please drop me a line if anyone's going to the NEC on Saturday would be good to meet up...

60th Wedding Anniversary

Afternoon I not planned a post for today but had to make some 60th Wedding anniversary cards as it's my Nan and Grandad's wedding anniversary tomorrow, celebrating 60 years.... My Grandad is not well at all and we didn't think he would stay with us.  So we are having a little afternoon tea there tomorrow!

I am really struggling today after yesterday's injections, I haven't done any commenting or any real crafting for DT projects, I'n not really happy with these cards but they are made, not finding words now so will update later...

Love Jo x

Floral butterfly......

Morning Happy Monday, I have a simple card to share for today's challenge over at Love to Create Challenge blog.

We are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps today and I have been fancying playing with one of their decorative silhouettes so I was lucky enough to get hold of this adorable butterfly silhouette and as our challenge this week at  Love to Create is Monochromatic I thought this would be ideal to use! 

The butterfly digi comes with this floral pattern on which I love

The Paper I think is Summer Driggs

To add a little extra depth I decided to add another cut butterfly to add that 3d effect.
