For A Friend

Good morning, did you have a nice weekend?  We had a fabulous one. My son bought up my two beautiful grandsons for the weekend. On Saturday we had a BBQ and my daughter, partner and Rowan came as well as Dave's daughter, husband and Emma and Max came and it was lovely - quite chaotic but lovely! I wanted to get a picture of all three grandsons together but didn't get round to it.  Yesterday we went to the beach before they set off back to London, I have a couple of pictures at the end.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Lexi's Creations and the theme this fortnight is For A Friend.  Now my card is for my best friend whose birthday is next month (she doesn't look at my blog lol) because the image reminded me of her.  When I made the card I thought the theme was for someone special, hence the sentiment.

Isn't this the cutest image! Its Crafter's Companion Scruffy Little Cat Range called Chelsea.  I coloured her with Copics and some Stickles.  I bought the stamp at Bolton Arena the other week and saw the embossed acetate on a sample there and really liked it.  The embossing folder is also from the same range and I have gone round the edge of the bubbles with Stickles.  Papers are Nitwits Hey Cupcake.  I used my Sizzix die for the Rosette, Martha Stewart border punch, Just Rite Labels 2 for the sentiment and Spellbinders for the image and mat.

Here are some more views:

Here is a picture of Harrison at the beach:

he got totally soaked but just loves playing in water, needless to say I got soaked too!

Couldn't get a good one of Rafe at the beach so here he is having his lunch afterwards:

Now I must dash I am going over to my daughter's today. Promise I will catch up with you all later! Thank you sooooo much for looking, take care xx
