Friday Sketchers 10 and Jazz

So another great sketch from Friday Sketchers http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ I've done this card for one of our lads from sixth form. He's the same age to the day as my Nicki and such a lovely lad. I've done it with just colours as I thought that was best for Nick. I've used papers from my stash and tried to stamp Happy on the circle. It was ok but had to try 3 times before it came out ok. That's why I don't stamp. I then added Nick's name with Quickutz letters and finally added 3 gems.

I'm at home all day today, so hopefully a day to craft. My Mandy was up in the night being sick. She was crying because she wanted to go to school today, but as I type at 10am she's on the sofa fast asleep. I've been busy doing my jars for the teachers all weekend I'm 6 down and 6 to go. Now all I need to think about is which sweets to put inside. Hope all your little and big ones aren't coming down with this bug. I know poor Vanessa is not feeling 100% with a cough, I think it's all this bad weather, where's the sun gone. Hopefully saving itself for the summer holidays. Happy crafting everyone big hugs Vicki oxo's

oooo just managed to get a photo of Jazz our new kitten so here he is still for one second, he looks big but he's tiny. He's 11 weeks old now.

Friday Sketchers 9

Well I did have time to do one card yesterday, for a little one at school. For this card I used the Friday sketches challenge http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ Although I've done a c6 card instead of a square. Another good sketch from them, why not give it a go. And let me know I'll leave you a comment.

Well the show was brill, all that hard work paid off and the kids had a fab time and all performed great. Now the real work has begun. We picked up cute little, timid, sleepy little Jazz our new kitten yesterday. Within a few hours he's turned our house upside down. How much trouble can one little thing get into???? He's already got stuck twice, jumped on top of the bird cage, this was at 2.30am. So poor Jack and us got the fright of ours lives. He likes watching the telly (when he can stay still long enough. He gets in all sort of trouble in an hour than peace is back while he sleeps for a couple of hours before trouble starts again!!! Trouble is when you tell him off he purrs at you and he's sooooo cute.

My oldest Nicki had all her hair cut off yesterday, she's had long hair and no fringe since she was 3. And now she has chin length hair and a fringe, I didn't like it at first, but I love it now.

Then yesterday my little Mandy had a trail day at her new senior school. She didn't have any of her friends going as they are all going to a different school. But when she came home she's made loads of friends and can't wait until tonight to see some again, when we go for talk and buy uniform. Don't think I'll have any worries in September. Well I'm hoping to get on with some crafting this morning before work, first a quick blog hop, hope you are all well and enjoying the summer we're not having!!!! big hugs Vicki oxo's

Friday Sketchers

For these 2 cards I used Friday Sketchers number 5 http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ I decided to do a boy and girl card for a couple of children at work. Who's birthdays are coming up soon. I used paper from my stash along with painted images with watercolours. .

Well I've had the best weekend ever. We gave my 17 year old a surprise pre 18th birthday. As she will be away for her birthday. I invited 14 of her mates round. And she slept round Elise's house. So when she came home the front room was covered with balloons, banners, embarrassing pictures. She walked in and myself, her Dad and sister plus best friend Nat were the only ones there singing. Then half was through "Happy Birthday" the other burst through the door singing as well. She had no idea and was really chuffed. She now has all her new clothes and everything she needs for her holiday in July. And one very happy Mummy, who can't believe my baby is so nearly 18!!!!!! big hugs and enjoy the sun everyone Vicki
