Mark turns 10

Here are my gorgeous boys Damon (left) and Mark. Mark got his birthday presents right after breakfast, hence the PJs. He's really thrilled with all his gifts. I can't believe it's been that long since I had a baby.

The challenge will need a minimum of three entries before a prize will be awarded.

Happy Birthday Mum

Today is my Mum's birthday. She's travelling up north with my Dad and my nephew.
I made her a birthday card today. You use circle punchies, fold each side over, then place them around a larger die-cut circle. I've used a smaller circle of vellum and a brad for the centre.

SBM April Sketch & Card challenge

Here is my card for SBM's April card challenge. You can vote on the March sketches and card right now on the forum at their site. I submitted 2 layouts last month. My nickname is Daisydokes.

That's the front.

This is the inside, photo's a  bit blurry.
