8th and 9th Birthdays

**********************
For my great nephew and Granson's friend and
Challenge
Pollycraft  #80 - Special birthdays

Both these cards are 'digital productions'.
For this first one I used Summer Driggs Boy oh Boy papers and elements. The stars and the number were made in PhotoPlus.

This one is for young g/son's friend. He had a bowel transplant last summer and has made a remarkable recovery. He spent much of his life from birth in hospital and it is good to see him with more energy and looking so much better. He  will have to learn to eat proper food now as he has always been fed by 'tube'.
This year he is keen on Bagucan!  This is new to me and makes a change from Star Wars or Pokemon :-)

Thank you for stopping by
Cheers me dears :-)

Valentine

My youngest grandson, who is seven, asked me to make a valentine card for his girlfriend at school, bless him :-)



I guess she would like her name on it and I've added a fair bit of glitter....all girls like glitter whatever age, right?..though it doesn't show up in the pic too well.
I chose this cute little feller from the Pollycraft Promise collection...I thought it would make a change from teddies.

The Pollycraft Monday Challenge 33 is 'Things with Wings' and I hope that the three little punched butterflies will qualify.

5th Birthday

Not only am I struggling with the problems on my PC but my inspiration has gone walkabout too.
I know a little girl who loves all things 'princessy' and bought these two digi stamps, Cherry Kisses Princess and Castle from Pollycraft specially for her card.
Now I don't like the result, arghhh. I don't know what effect I had hoped to achieve but this is not it.
Never mind I think the little birthday girl will like it, after all there is a princess and some bling, lol.




I cut off the trees and moved them to the RHS and fixed them to a couple of cocktail sticks because they were a bit too fiddly to cut around.


Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend and that it is warmer where you are.
It is freezing here and I will either have to go and put some sox on or light the gas fire. I have even thought of putting the heating on.
I know September is only a couple of days away, but it feels more like October :-(

The second Thank You card

An unusual occurrence - I made two cards today. This happened because I had to stay in all day.
Hubby paid a visit to the loo at 5.30am (ooops, maybe too much information, haha) and heard water running in the pipes. Had a look outside and the driveway and front garden were like a lake. Turned off the supply at the mains, so no water. Then we couldn't lock the back door!
The chappie came and fixed the door about 12.30 and the Homeserve men came about 3pm.
Decided we needed a nice cuppa tea and I dropped and broke the teapot lid.
Son popped in for a while after seeing the doc and has been signed off work for two weeks. He kneeled on a screw head at work and his leg is swollen from knee to ankle.
Quite an interesting day!

This card fits the following challenges

Colour Create - Grassy green, apple green, sunflower yellow, lemon and white

Pollycraft - Arrows

Crafty Goings On - Coloured stamped or digi download

MMSC challenge 8 - Sketch


A6

The cute young fella from Pollycraft digi downloads has made another appearance but I had to give him a different colour jumper for this one.
Coloured with Copics as the previous card. BP's are some of the oddments I am trying to use up.



Thanks for visiting and any comments which are really appreciated

Thank you cards for Teachers

A6

This is the first of two I've made for 6yr old grandson.
He needs two as his teachers are job sharing.
Not such a task as last year when I had to do four



I followed the Carol's Sketch Fun challenge 9
I have got so used to doing 150mm square or A5 I find it difficult to do such small cards nowadays.
This cute young fella is from the Promise Collection by Pollycraft



Thank you for looking and as always your comments are well and truly appreciated

Pollycraft challenge - 11

It's another nice sketch for the Pollycraft Challenge this week.



My effort. I can't remember where the BP's are from, I had them already printed off.







Thanks for looking and for any comments you care to leave

Sketch and Stash challenge 3

The only thing I am happy concerning this card is the delightful image. For a change I am happy with my colouring. I think I might be getting there at last :-)
I changed my mind so many times while doing this challenge that I eventually lost the plot.
*Can you believe it, I didn't notice until I looked at the pic that the sentiment is skewiff. Darn it!!!



The stash is one of the the new images from Pollycraft, gorgeous isn't it? I want them all.

Thanks for looking in. As always your comments are thoroughly appreciated - thank you.

Sketch Saturday - 36

I really didn't like it and just had to change it so here is the 2nd version LOL
Seems I can't do anything right today. what a blurry pic!





A poor effort but I'll give it DD for SIL. I made a bad choice of BP cos I am being a cheapskate and trying to use up my odd bits.
I love the image which is
a cute freebie from Paula at Tales from Pollycrafts. Thank you very much Paula it is really lovely.
