a crafty day and some fairies

Good morning Lovelies! Well the rain came to my part of the world as predicted yesterday - still - it saved me from giving all the seeds I put in on Sautrday a good soaking so there's always a silver lining!!!

Me and my girlies had a crafty day yesterday - they both managed to make their dad's and their grampsies birthday cards:






Didn't they do well? I promised Lucy and Penny I would enter their cards into a challenge each so I'd like to enter Lucy's gramps card into the craftycatzweeklychallenge - one for the boys - and Penny's Dad card into audsentimentschallengeblog - for a guy. - I hope dad counts as a sentiment !

We did have a lovely time and I suspect this may happen more often in the summer holidays!!!!

I managed to get some crafting done too - and later on in the play barn got to finish my makes! You can't see them today though - they're a mixture of DT cards and ones for later in the week! Todays card is one I made earlier this week and features the stamps of lavinia:



I just love those words - they make me tingle - so exciting!!!! I made the background using my brayer and splodgeaway mat and a denim blue ink pad for the bottom and part of the foliage big and juicy pad for the top - Then I overstamped the fairies and the words and the stars then cut the spellbinders D- lites and added them all to the card cut from centura pearl card using a Go Kreate die.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Lavinia:laviniastamps Bright and Beautiful
MAWTTmovingalongwiththetimes: Fantasy and Fairies

Thanks for dropping by today and hope to see you again soon - I'm having an exciting morning this morning - I'm off to craft with some ladies from my running partners church - she runs a craft morning every monday called coffee pot and has asked me to come along and lead the makes once a month - well I was very happy to do so - will try to take my camera along to show you what we make but its going to be based around the shaving foam backgrounds and gilding flake birds on the tag here.

Have fun and happy Crafting!

Hugs

Rachel xx

    The girl's cards are fabulous Rachel - that weight-lifter with the red face did make me giggle - that was so clever. Hope the girls do well in the challenges.

    Your girls are taking after their mom in the crafty dept. and how special that y'all can all craft together. All the cards are wonderful and I especially like the circular sentiment on yours.
