Come here often?

Now that's not a pick up line LOL! it's the name of the Sassy Cheryl illustration I have used on today's card. 
I am way behind with my blogging at the moment as I have had my grandson a bit more than usual over the last few weeks, mainly because of his other nan's shift pattern, but it is turning around in my favour over the next few weeks so I am hoping to catch up a bit. 

Today's card is one for the boys.

A penny for your thoughts!

I have used one of the gorgeous Sassy Cheryl images available at Paper Creator for my card today called - A penny for your thoughts. I loved this image the moment I saw it, so just had to have a play with it. Around the same time that I got the image I paid a visit to Nitwits and found the Hello Sunshine collection, which just happened to jump into my shopping basket when I wasn't looking, - it was obviously desperate to come and live on my computer, so I had to buy it, didn't I?! I'm pleased to say it has settled in very nicely and has already made itself useful LOL!

Teddy Bo Tuesday

Hi there, welcome to another Teddy Bo Tuesday.
This week I decided I would use a couple of older images. I've been with Teddy Bo right from the very start, and have every stamp that has ever been released, quite a lot of which I have never used. Now that the challenges have gone monthly, it gives me a chance to play with some of those images, and today you get 2 for the price of 1.
As it's Mother's Day here in the UK on the 10th March, I thought I would make a couple of cards with Mums in mind.

More Crafty Devils

I have been up since 5.30 this morning as my daughter isn't too well, she has a bit of a cold but I think it's affecting her stomach as well, poor thing - every time she coughs or sneezes ........well let's just say it's not very pleasant! Meg is disabled and unable to walk so can't get herself to the toilet, I have spent most of the morning so far elbow deep in disinfectant, anti-bacterial spray and hand sanitizer. She says she is feeling a little better now so hopefully the worst is over.
I was up around 2am with her too as she needed toileting and turning, so I am feeling quite tired this morning. I don't have the grandsons today so was planning a day of crafting, I think it will be a day of sleeping instead now LOL!

I meant to schedule this post last night, but completely forgot so being up early has given me the opportunity to get it done. I have a couple more samples of cards made using Papermania's Chronology and Vintage Notes collections.
All products used are available from Crafty Devils Papercraft.

Chronology 6x6 Paper pad (watch cut from one of the papers)
