Charlee's 1st birthday card

Hi everyone, seems like a long time since I have posted a card which has not been scheduled.

I have had a very busy time lately. Last week my husband and I were on holiday from work but all our plans changed since my dad has been in and out of hospital and back in again. I am hoping to get him home tomorrow. Visiting hospital takes up so much time, by the time I get home it's tidy up time and preparing for the next day. Stupidly we decided to decorate our bedroom, which is now partly done but the house appears to be in turmoil with pictures and boxed items around the house. Never mind it can only get better!

Today it was back to work for a rest. 

Enough waffling and on to my card. I made this for my niece's daughter who will be one tomorrow. 

I used A Papercraft Essential paper stack, Me to You stamps, Promarkers, chalks, Nesties & flower embossing folder.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Simon Says - use dies  & punches

Paper Play - simply cute

Fussy and Fancy Fridays - easel card

Lollipop crafts - birthday cards

I hope to be back catching up with everyone's blogs soon, I am missing the inspiration.

Austria

Our Austrian holiday

Here are a few photos of my Austrian holiday. 

This is a picture of where we stayed, Mayrhofen, from the cable car going up the Ahorn one of the mountains.

One of hubby on one of our walks. The scenery is fabulous. 

Our weather was lovely to start with, lovely warm and sunny. Lots of coffee and cake!

Then the snow came on the mountains!

All great fun, it's such a fabulous country. 

21st card

I was on holiday last week in Austria and had a fabulous time. So now I am trying to catch up with everything. It has been a hard slog this week being back at work and I came home to my Dad back in hospital having had another fall. He is doing fine, no broken bones just bruising and sore muscles. Hopefully he will be home soon. 

This is a card  made before I went on holiday for a friend. I love this Penny Black stamp and use it quite  a lot.

I used  PB image, Promarkers, Stickles, Nesties, PM bag stamp, X -Cut flower punch, hearts from Martha Stewart border punch,  and the rest from my stash.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Saturday Challenge -  milestone birthdays
