Hello Everyone,
It was Emma's birthday a few days ago which means that I can now share her birthday card. She hasn't had a party because of all her cricket although she had an amazing time on the County Cricket Residential in Scarborough with all her team. I am going to take her and a few friends Ten Pin Bowling at the weekend and then she has yet another cricket match on Sunday!
Onto her card...I've used an adorable stamp from Whimsy called Fairy Wishes.
Emma doesn't like a lot of fuss on her cards but she does like sparkle so I coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings. The background paper is from Lemoncraft - Heart Painted. I used a Die namics flower die and cut out the top fairy wing so the flower didn't cover it up.
I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Simon Says Stamp - Clean and Simple
Passion for Promarkers - For a Birthday
Stamping Sensations - Things with Wings
Allsorts Challenge - Feminine
Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog and for all your comments and encouragement.
I'm going to try and catch up with all your blogs over the next few days.

Good Morning Everyone,
There's not much crafting going on here again...cricket has taken over this week. Emma was playing at Durham on Monday, Northumberland on Wednesday and Scarborough on Thursday, Friday and today! She's on a 3 day County Cricket residential in Scarborough, playing Lancashire and Derbyshire so we have driven over to watch the games. They are on a lovely site with the cricket pitch overlooking the sea.
Anyway, I have another little snowman to share today. This is the sixth one from the set 9 snowmen that are now available from Lili of the Valley.
I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from First Edition. I've used a Spellbinders snowflake die, and a sentiment stamp from the new release.

Good Morning Everyone,
My blog has been really quiet again! We've just got back from a gorgeous week in North Wales. My SIL has a holiday home in Abersoch so we are lucky enough to be able to use it every summer. The weather was a bit hit and miss but we managed to keep busy. We had a lovely day out at Harlech, visiting the castle and rock pooling on the beach, and another afternoon watching a medieval falconry display within the grounds of Criccieth Castle. The only downside was the 6 hour drive home (should be 3 1/2) due to roadworks and heavy traffic!
Anyway onto my card. I have a very sweet little snowman to share today. He is just one of a set of 9 snowmen that will be released from Lili of the Valley later this month.
I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from First Edition. I've used snowflake dies from Spellbinders, Marianne Creatables and Sweet Dixie. The sentiment is also due to be released at the end of the month. There will be Hand drawn sentiments, tags and toppers.

Due to the rain, a lot of Emma's cricket has been rescheduled! So this week we have 3 different matches all over the place, starting with a match against Staffordshire in Wolverhamptom! I think we might have to travel the night before!

Hello Everyone,
It's the first Saturday of the month and that means that it's time for this month's Penny Black Saturday Challenge! Our theme this month is ....
ANYTHING GOES
(Option : 'water')
I have used a very cute Penny Black stamp called 'Garden Visit' for today's card. I know I have one or two Penny Black stamps with a water theme, but I couldn't find them so getting very little time in my craft room, I decided to just use the first one out of the box....
I've coloured him with promarkers. The background papers are from Nit Wits and the sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley. I've used a creative expressions flower die and a Die namics picket fence die.
Our sponsor this month is 1-2-3 stitch with a £10 voucher for one lucky winner.

Hello Everyone,
The cricket was cancelled this week due to the rain and it was to be the clash of the roses...Yorkshire v Lancashire. Oh well, they're hoping for a rescheduled game towards the end of the summer holidays.
It did mean that I got a morning in my craft room...that doesn't happen very often these days!! I've used the very sweet North Pole Snowman from Lili of the Valley for today's card.
I've coloured him with promarkers and fussy cut him out. The background paper is from Little Claire's and I've used a Dees Distinctevly Die - Christmas Tree Stacker. The sentiment stamp is also from Lili of the Valley.
