Fairy Cakes by Tom

Hello ladies these are some cakes that i have made today.They are for my school disco.

New Baby Card

My friend Angela from Uni has had a baby boy so I thought I'd make her a little card to congratulate. I'm getting quite used to making 'boy cards' now girls seem very rare in my circle of friends! There's only boys in my son's generation of the family too.

I've also made a general card to go in the card box at work - no it's not on its side - that is the right way up and I'm not too sure about it tbh

Railway Model

"& son" has been away visiting his godparents this weekend. I'd like to be able to tell you that I made good use of the time that gave me, that I tidied the house and then did lots of crafting. Sadly I can't - I spent the whole of Saturday in the pub watching rugby. The British Lions were rubbish but I was so pleased that England won against Argentina (yes, yes, I know there was also a football match on - I did manage to swivel my head to see the exciting bits of that too).

Anyhow, his Godfather is a keen railway modeller so they've been working on a little project. And here it is!

Crafty Place - June Challenge Entry - Summer

Why not pop along to the crafty place. There's challenges and swaps galore!

This is my entry for the summer challenge over there.

I've never used this type of paper before and was hoping that having something with a bit of structure to it would make laying out a bit easier - no chance!

I do like the papers though. I bought them from "3 Jolly Crafters" - whose service is second to none!

Tha main paper is Dream Street; Bright n Sunny - Recipe for Fun

The red spotted paper used for lettering and accents is also dream street ; Bright n Sunny -- Bowl of Cherries

A little bit pf basic grey 'cupcake' and

A tag from an SEI 'Aunt Gerti's Garden' tag sheet

Help! I've gone all girly!

2 girly cards in one night. Thanks again to OAP's stash swap, I seem to have got a bit carried away with the pink.

The first card is my entry to the MSE 'sketch challenge' - thanks Flourgirl!.

I've used some pearlescent pink paper and paper lace from OAP's stash and some of the Crate Paper that I nought from 3 Jolly crafters in their Bank Holiday sale. I've never used crate paper before but am very impressed with the quality. The floral paper is called 'Rain'. The dotty one 'cloud' They're both from the blue hill collection - wish I'd bought more!

The second card is similar to the fathers day one I made but I though I'd try and see whether it worked hinged the other way - and it does. This one's going to go in the craft box at work.

Mum's on the Mend

Mum's out of hospital.

They kept her in overnight because they were worried because she couldn't remember anyhing about her fall - she fell of a wall in the garden - about 3ft tall - cut her head open and cracked some ribs.

I couldn't visit her as the hospital has a rule that no children are allowed on the wards- I can see their point in some ways but really what's a single Mum to do when she needs to visit someone!

This is the 'Get Well' card that I made for her in lieu of a visit. I made it using stash from the Crafty place stash swap - Thanks Toni!

You can't really tell but its decoupage - I love the card blank - its pearlescent pink.

MSE 'Male Card' Challenge Cards

What a day! '& son' has been off school today with a poorly tum. I've been trying to work from home but think I'm coming down with something too. Mum's had a fall and is currently in A&E so to take our minds off things we've both made our fathers day cards for the MSE challenge.
