a day in the life

Had a lovely weekend, Saturday saw a trip to Bakewell, to go to the Farmers Market and then we pretended to be tourists ie - no dogs, so we could both go in shops together. Oh its the little things in life *g*
Had a lovely lunch, I had Derbsyhire rarebit. Wow. Cheese overload but very yummy.

Found two gorgeous little shops -

mister bee vintage hidden away down an alley, some lovely items, and a rather fab parasol I hung my nose over..... payday treat methinks.

and

hearts and roses interiors which is next to the alley.

just think of all that shopping goodness, all in 20 paces of one another

*sigh*

a path well travelled

Over at card exchange uk, a recent themed swap was 'Travel' which resulted in some lovely cards, this is mine -  still waiting to be posted because a) I forgot to post it and b) now I've forgotten who I was posting it too!

Up, up and away

Using 'Steampunk curiosity' digi kit (my favourite!), a map off the internet and Tilez font of the web and a few embellishments I put this card together for a male birthday.

pretty pastel

Using 'Loving Life' backing paper and topper, inked up a fancy serviette and added some matching gems, quite a simple card.

40 & fabulous, dahling!

Inspired by a card done by ladybug crafts  I thought this card would be perfect for a special birthday which was happening this month, especially as I had bought the leopard print backing card especially for the lady in questions card last year and chickened out of using it. 'winestool nikki' digi from Ladybug crafts. leopard print background from Kanban Crystal stickers from Dovecraft. Paper roses from 'Craft shop' and the usual dark mirror board from Joy! crafts. *lol*

and the moonbeams....

kissed the sea.

This is my favourite card so far, made this card for Peel Off Crazy (yahoo group) Monthly Make for March. Anything crafty goes as long as it features a peel-off on it somewhere.

This card was inspired by a pre-made layout in one of the Craft Artist Professional digi kits.
Love this ribbon, it came from a Galaxy chocolate box...... the chocs were nice too ; )

Topper done in CAP.
Mirror board from Joy! crafts.
Brown paper is plain old parcel paper.
