We all say it !!!

We all say it
Where does the time go?
Just this last week I have been pondering all of the changes in my life since Abi was born sixteen years ago.
Here's just a few My Dad died, I separated from my Husband, I got divorced, Both of my Children started school & one finished school & 6th form & College, Then went away to University, I moved house 150 miles away, I re-trained, I got married, I became a Stampin' Up demo, We moved house again, Eldest left home & went to University, I had my dog put to sleep, I lost both my MIL & FIL, Became step mum to 3 children ( Now adults ) I became Grandma to 9 grandchildren, I got of my Children to the age of 16+ without a criminal record & Finally somewhere along the way I gained about 4.5 stone in weight. To date I have now lost 34lb's thanks to Weightwatchers & the support of my family & friends.


When I was pondering all of the above I realised that its no wonder that I am going grey.


Well enough about me & onto what this post is really about one of the above mentioned Grandchildren turns 6 today & yet again I wonder how time flies so quickly. 
Harveylicious is a typical boy & into all things monsterish so what better set to use for his card than Make a monster.

This card uses the Stampin' Up set called Make a monster which I love as you can make every monster different as there are so many stamps in this set. Everything else used on this card is from my own stash.

More Monsters

Once I got started with the Make a Monster set I found the inspiration just kept coming and I thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday evening sat at the dining table with card & ink surrounding me. I usually craft upstairs in my craft room & as I wasn't well Saturday morning I didn't want to be upstairs on my own.


The background of this card was made using the circle circus set that I've had for about 6 months & initially used a lot but recently it had acquired a dusty jacket, so I dusted it off & made the background using the lovely in colour's. I have to say that the small in colour family is just great having a compact range of 5 colour's. I am finding that if i'm working downstairs I just grab these  colour's & I'm ready to go.

Making a monster

Make a monster is one of the sets that was demonstrated at Convention last November, until I saw the demo I cant say it was on my must have list, after the demo I changed my mind, but I kept putting off ordering the set as others always seemed to make there way to the top of the list. Well Make a monster arrived this week & I have mounted it up & had a play this afternoon.
