They are all grown up!!!

Oh my, where have all the years gone? Today, my youngest nephew started big school and so did my best friends little chap....they seem too young!!! I was nervous for them but they have both got on great! I am still waiting for my son to get back, he goes to school 20 miles away, he has special schooling as he has mild Autism, so he is on his way back now, hope he has got on ok as he moves up to another campus today.

Anyway, I have made another card (very rare for me lately...LOL) my sister asked for a card for a 60 year old man who loves gardening and fine wines and this is what I came up with.

A pal suggested this fab image from Di's Digi Downloads, thanks sweetie.x The papers are My minds Eye, and the cardstock is Stampin Up, I have coloured the image with copics and Promarkers, I always print my digi's on Stampin up whisper white or Very Vanilla as it is thin enough to go through my printer and is my fave card to use with alcohol markers.

The sentiment is Papertrey Ink, stamped in SU ink and punched out with my new Woodware jumbo word window punch I got from Stampeezee, it has 4 sizes of windows to chose from, I love it, the one I have used is huge!! not sure if they are on the website, you may have to ring the shop to get one!

I am entering this card into this weeks Stampin for the weekend challenge which is 'Anything goes' and Crafty Emma's store have the same theme for their first ever challenge

Anyway, have a great Thursday, I am still wallowing in dust, my bathroom is getting there, the underfloor heating and floor tiles are just going down and tonight I can have a bath as we have hot water....yay a novelty, even a place to wash is a novelty at the moment...LOL

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.x

***********Warning long post - scroll down for card********************

Morning bloggers, I am sooooooooo glad we have a Bank Holiday today, we got back from a fantastic week in Scotland visiting family yesterday and its nice to have a day catching up on washing etc.........I could live up in Scotland, It is soooooooo pretty and I would be close to my adopted mum (my mother in law Little Daffodil), so I could raid her stash every day!!!! Lol. Hubby got loads of quality time with his dad too, they both love Photography so managed to teach each other loads of tips and tricks with the cameras.

Whilst we were away we decided we would have our bathroom done, we sold our caravan to raise the pennies for this venture as we wanted two rooms completely gutted and merged into one and I wanted all pipes and electrics hidden in wall cavities etc..........well I had dreams of coming home to my dream bathroom but I knew it would not happen in a week, I had hoped that some things would have been in, but this was what we came home to last night!!!!



Walls have had to be reinforced for the hanging vanity unit, toilet re-routed as we wanted it moved (more of a problem than we first thought due to our Kitchen extension!!! Just loads of preparation work really......oh well I am hoping it will be worth it when its done, I have waited for this bathroom for 5 years!!! These pics don't really show how big this room is going to be, can't get the angle to photograph it all.




BTW, that is our old loo not the new one......I am somewhat confused about that as we are have a corner loo.......the soil pipe looks in the wrong place to me but then again I am no toilet expert!!

Anyway I just had to share this pic, it is my youngest fur baby Kevin, yes this is that fluffy guy in my sidebar after I clipped him last week for his holidays.....yes all the fur babies come to Scotland, my poor in-laws were decended upon by 4 humans and 3 fur babies....LOL, talk about a full house, we take over their entire home when we go.....it's a good job they are such lovely people, I don't know many people that would let 3 dogs stay in their home....LOL, especially disfunctional ones, all my dogs have had some kind of unpleasent past they are rescues so they all have some quirk or other!

So Jeanie, you think he is still cute without his curls? I think he looks cute both with both hairstyles.....LOL



Right, onto my card, I made this whilst in Scotland, using my adopted mummy's Mermaid Tilda stamp and copics to colour her....oh and I pinched all the embellies, I just provided the DSP which is MME Penny Lane.....Lol, love you mummy!! I am entering this card into this weeks Stampin for the weekend challenge which is 'anything goes' and creative card crew want to see our cards sparkle and shine, the paper is soooooo sparkly but the camera has not really picked it up.

Anyway, I have loads of organising to do before I go back to work tomorrow......BOO, have a great bank holiday Monday for those who it applies to, everyone else have a great Monday.x
