Morning bloggers, hope you are all well?

Not much time for blogging lately.

We had a lovely 10 night holiday to Gran Canaria, could well be our last family holiday.  Ben will be 18 next year so probably won't want to come.

He is doing his first year of A-Levels this year, and sat 2 AS exams, he was really happy with his results on Thursday.

I will be in for a nervous few weeks this time next year when Ben gets his A-Levels results, and a week later Jamie will get his GCSE results!

Just wanted to share this card this morning.

I have used Penny Black Stamp Flutter-Bye coloured with pros.

Papers are Trimcraft.

Evening bloggers,

Hope you are all well?

Haven't had much time for blogging lately.  I decided in February to change my ISP, what a time I have had.  BT were wonderful when I first placed my order, as soon as there was a problem they were a nightmare.....2 months down the line, and wasted days off work, I told them to cancel the order.  

I am now firmly back with Virgin, even though I got disconnected last weekend!!!

It was amazing with no internet, especially with 2 teenage lads in the house.....how did we ever live without it.

Anyway, I have been making a few cards.

My Penny Black stamps have been very neglected of late, so I have had a few out, and coloured up some images ready for using on cards.

I have used: Penny Black stamp Flutter-Bye coloured with pros.

Dies are Spellbinder, Memory Box and Magnolia.

Papers and sentiment are LOTV

I am entering this in the following challenge..

My husband decided he was going to replace our lawn this weekend, so I left him and Jamie to it most of the time.  He is totally worn out now, I keep telling him he's not as young as he used to be!
