Hi everyone

Can I say a big thank you to Kim for having me back and as you can see I still can't get this scheduling mastered yet.  Apologies for the delay in the upload.

Up with

Name Change

Hi everyone

Well Christmas is over and the new year just around the corner.  I have been doing a little crafting but not much as I would like to maybe because having no me time just family time.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and Santa was good to everyone, I must say he was good to me this year and got more than i probably deserved, I got a new laptop, CD, pj's and an Ebosser.  So I was more than happy.

Now you probably have noticed that I have changed my blog name and have been thinking of doing this for a while. Although it was a catchy name and I liked it, I wanted to put my name in it, so please tell me what you think whether you like the old name - Flossy's paper palace better or the new name.

I am hoping to blog a little more of my crafting makes, adding photos of random things, some of which may not relate to paper crafting.

Right thats enough of me jibbering, and say to all my crafty friends and family is to wish everyone a

Happy New Year and hope 2014 is everything you wished for.

Anniversary Card

Hi everyone

Gosh it's been a while, this is to a little surgery I had to go through, but I'm at the other side of it and recovering slowly.  It my mum and dads wedding anniversary tomorrow and I attempted to make them a card for it.

Here it is

I used some free papers I received in a magazine my hubby had bought me to read in the hospital. I used blue, pink and white card from my stash, the white is edge with peeled paint distress ink.  The die cuts are cut with a spellbinders label die, the flowers from wild orchid crafts and creative expressions swirls and pearls.

Thank you for stopping by and looking at my blog.

Brown Sugar Challenge #53

Oh my goodness can you believe its Friday already and to crown it off were into another new month, this year if just flying past.

Friday again which means another new challenge from

Brown Sugar Challenge Blog

Our theme for this week is 

Friendship

This week I have done another layout of one of my children.  This is Katie with her friend at a 

party, they had just got their faces painted and they were very giddy.  Katie was only 5 here and they were the best of friends and they still are.  The have gone from playgroup to primary to secondary school together so you could say the title is appropriate so far. I used a piece of 12 x 12 

yellow card stock and I cut two strips of pastel green card and punch two strips of pink and placed on top.

I used a digi stamp from our sponsors and enlarge it onto white card and used distress ink to give it some colour.  I put together some flowers and used black gem swirls and some gems to embellish.
