Anyway! Onto today - its the 13th August - my Lucy's 8th birthday - and time for a new challenge at Creative Inspirationscinspirations. Its my choice of theme this week and I chose under the sea. Here's my make:
Its my first play with the fragment stamps from Chocolate baroque. I've just versamarked it up and added white wow powders and heat set before then using distress stains to complete the background. The seahorse is a TH die that I completed according to the instructions for Tims tag July. Just love that tag!!!
This week's prize is from Natalie and its this fantastic CD ROM by Joanna Sheen!

I have this CD and there are some real funnies on there!
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
Wow: wowembossingpowderMonochrome
Inky Chicksinkychicks: Photo inspiration
So its Lucy birthday today - here's the cake ....
Its hard to photograph - but I think its okay - Lucy is thrilled with it so I guess thats all that matters.
Please forgive me if I don't get around to visit today - we will be having a busy day playing games and having fun - then we're off to see Hansel and Gretel in the park in Lancaster tonight.
Thanks for dropping by today - big hugs to you!

BIG Happy Birthday wishes to Lucy, I hope she has a wonderful day full of fun and laughter! The cake you made for her is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous. I love the background design and stunning sea horse.
I am pleased that Lucy's scan went okay and that the nurse thinks it's nothing to worry about, I hope you are able to find out what the problem is soon though.
Glad that you had some good news about your dad yesterday.
Enjoy the rest of the day.

Happy, happy birthday Lucy! I hope your day is filled with fun and love! Great job on the cake mom and gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday wishes to the lovely Lucy - both of them are gorgeous and will be breaking hearts all over Lancashire soon enough! Fab cake too!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear your dad has had some good news - it really helps getting positive news.
I used to get dreadful tummy pains when I was Lucy's age and it was kidney infections which eased as I got older. It must be such a relief for both of you that she is getting seen and it looks like nothing to worry about, thank goodness!
Oh yes your card is fantastic and the reason for popping over. I love your underwater scene with those CB stamps and the sea horse die cut is stinking cute! Karen xx
Firstly your card is gorgeous. Love the background you have created. Love it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your Dad has had some good news and sounds like nothing to worry about with Lucy. A fabulous birthday cake and hope she had a good time.
