A birthday card

for my SIL. The photo of the inside is very poor I'm afraid but I didn't want to undo the bow again.

Another post

so soon after the last - lol. A bit of beading & a couple of cards to show today. I found some 'different' beads while I was 'just looking' & thought they'd make lovely bracelets so here they are along with a spiky necklace.
A few Christmas cards too - my favourite is the little deer but I'm not too sure about the bubble tree although it does look better in real life.

Thanks for looking.

Christmas is coming

No cards

to show although I have been very busy making Christmas cards. I have taken pics of some jewellery. The turquoise & black set has been made to match my outfit for a wedding on Saturday & the other I just had to make because the beads reminded me of humbugs- LOL

At last..............

some things to show. Well some that I actually took pics of!! Went away for a long weekend with some of the crafty girls. Kaz showed us how to make a calendar & I just adapted it very slightly to make a hanger for my friend with pics of her grandchildren & some soppy words on the other side lol. Jan very kindly lent a lovely die which I could see would make a quick & easy Christmas card.

Pieces of paper

& a cute teddy decoupage. I had used triangular pieces on another card & was about to put these leftovers in my bit box never to be seen again. With a flash of inspiration they turned into this card. lol

For the Cupcake Queen

My DIL's sister makes the most delicious cupcakes ( she also has a passion for boots & shoes but I think I have exhausted all the card possibilities with those lol) Just played around with this one & not sure whether I like it or not. I left myself too little time to do anything about it so here it is.

The first is a Hawthorn & Bramble stamp followed by a couple of La Pashe 'Framin 'cards - forgot to take pic till they were in the bags for sale oops! & the final was an order for a really OTT American card !!!

I've done it again

Once more I've made loads of cards but taken no photos. I was just about to put this one in the envelope when I remembered lol. It's based loosely on a card made by Pam at the Glitterpot. I didn't use all the peel offs mainly because I found some of them on the floor after I'd done hahaha. I guess the fan blew them there!

A Stampin Up stamp

I've had this stamp for ages but never inked it up. I have now & I love it. I decoupaged the flower after colouring with Promarkers & then threw some seed beads in the middle. Bit of ribbon & sparkly dots finished it off.

I'm getting good.................................

at remembering to take pics - well some pics! I had 3 engagement cards to make but only a photo of one doh! Even then I forgot until it was bagged up ready lol. The other card is a real pink & fluffy girly one. Still not sure about my colouring however:o(

A Play Day

with good friends Pam & Kim. I had a very enjoyable day & hope they did too. All 3 of us made a Wobbler & Kim showed Pam & myself how to make a box card. Pam then showed us how to make the most beautiful card & although we started it, neither of us finished it. I will finish it as soon as I have time & will post it here.

Thanks ladies for a lovely day. I hope we can do it again sometime.

Been playing with Promarkers

but I have a lot to learn! I've made a couple of cards from the 'It's a Man's World' range from Papermania. I love the images. The 3rd card is for a very special girl who has adopted me as her Grandma lol. She loves the summer & can't wait to wear her strappy tops & flip flops so I thought this Anya Shine image from the Greeting Farm was just right for her.

I'm guilty !!!

of neglecting my blog & forgetting to photograph my cards lol. I have been busy- made lots- photographed few!
One of my favourites is the name card & Chloe's Nanny was very pleased with it. I'm also quite pleased with the German Sheperd one. I love the colours I've used.

Hope you enjoy looking at them. I do appreciate it when you leave comments.

Thanks for visiting.

A few more

part of a large order including two the same but different lol & another easel card. I've not made a shaker card for a while so quite enjoyed doing those.

Thanks for visiting

Just a few

of the many cards I've made over the last few weeks including my first ever easel card. These are so simple but so effective that I've made 4 more since then. There's a bonus too - they don't need inserts!! I hate inserting inserts lol
