Ribbons and bows

Cute eye candy today. Lots of ribbons and buttons from 3djean dress up one of my favourite easel style card..

The button twine bow is courtesy of Claire Rowlands, once you've been to one of her classes you're constantly tying these delightful bows.

That lacy edge was cut using an edge die that I picked up at Ally Pally(if you want to see more of the stash that just happened to find it's way into my bag then click here This particular die is from Impression Obsession.

Hope you enjoy

Card inspired blinds

I just love the combination of yellow and grey so clean and contemporary.

So much so that I took along a sample of the paper, Carolina Breeze and got some blinds made for my lounge.

And then I found these beauties in a charity shop....

perfect.

My Month in Numbers April

I thought it was time to join in with Julie's month in numbers. I've been following this fun and interesting post for some time now and I hadn't realised how easy it is to join in. All you need is a little note book (I think you've seen this before ).

 Jot a few of the numbers that you come across in your month, take a few matching photos, then blog.
So here's my month in numbers for April

4 items on my Easter table this year

2 yummy Easter eggs eaten, Creme Egg & Caramel

21 my little boy's birthday

Wow where did those years go?

1506 minutes of Downton Abbey watched during my Easter break. Apparently I have another Christmas Special to watch!!!!!

5 friends went to Ally Pally.

62 was my seat number on a very noisy train home.

43 days to go before I fly To Australia for the British & Irish Lions Rugby tour, check out Taylor's Tours.
