Just look at this allymagator! My friend Lindsey gave me a bag of unused craft supplies that she bought in the states and hiding in that stash was a pack of stickers was this lil’ guy. He’s here today holding a balloon to say happy birthday to my adorable nephew Josh!
Happy Birthday Joshua! I can’t believe you are 6 already! Where has the time gone to? I remember planning a trip back to Northern Ireland so I could be there for your birth, but you had other ideas and stayed in mummy’s belly for longer. I remember the first time i held you in my arms. I remember blowing raspberries on your belly and making you laugh. I remember you being at our wedding, and even though you were barely walking you gave us two cute little bears. Now you’re going into Primary 2! Such a big little dude!
Lindsey gave me the letter stickers too. They didn’t have a brand name but i wish they did because they are really cute. They are an excellent size and i love that they are dimensional. The only shame is that there was only one of each letter in the pack so its a little limiting. Here’s a closer look at mister alligator.
Thanks for stopping by for another MANday Monday. x

I remember when I was younger that we had a tea towel in the drawer with little drawings all over it. It must have been made at school or Sunday School, where the kids had drawn pictures of themselves. I remember loving it, and here we are years later and it makes sense that i would be drawn to anything like that, as essentially it is a memory keeping tool. Imagine my delight when I arrive at Piper’s nursery one day to find out that they have made personalised tea towels to celebrate the Jubilee this year. The older kids had drawn pictures of themselves, but Piper’s class and younger had footprints and handprints. Its adorable!
I picked one up for the Grandparents as well as Grannys and Grandads love these kinda things (well, i suspect maybe Grannys more than Grandads). So here’s some cards i made to put in the envelope with the present.
The monkey paper is from a DCWV stack called ‘Nana’s Kids’. Its apt really – it is a card for Nana!. lol. I stamped the greetings letter by letter using alpha stamps, but the word Hello is from this clear stamp set from Hero Arts. love this set! Use it all the time!

Hello everyone.
Just jumping in to share a quick card I made for a friend at work. The little chick is from a sticker sheet, and I loved that he is quite big and is the star of this card. I added some goggly eyes to give him more character, and i think it works!
The green section is from my scraps pile, its the offcuts from a rosette die, but i kinda thought it looked funky so i kept it rather than throwing it out – it makes a cool border along the top of the pattern paper.
Have a great day.
