A few Christmas cards

made with a little help from my friend Pam. She came to spend a couple of days with me & spend one of them die cutting poinsettias & stamping & punching baubles. I had to make her sing for her supper so to speak lol. Thanks Pam. Hope you'll come again.

Some dangling cards

All attached by an acetate strip so they dance around. My grandaughter decided they all represented members of the family & wanted to know why there was no Grandma & Grandad lol. She, of course, is the blonde Disco Diva!

I made these just because I could & I love the way they've turned out. I now need to go through the boxes of redundant peel offs to see what else I can do lol

My first attempt

at making a display bust for my jewellery. I need to pay a bit more attention to sizing but as a prototype I think it works quite well. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Rush order

for a wedding card. Ordered at 3pm for collection in the evening so I kept it very simple. Luckily the lady loved it! The other card is an adaptation of one of the shoebox cards from the Guildford meet & I'm sure my sil & bil will love it.

So long since I last posted

but I have been busy with cards, jewellery & decorating at home. Unfortunately it's not finished yet but may have to wait till school's back lol

Some crafty friends & myself had a meet up here in Guildford last weekend. We had a great day with shoebox cards, delicious lunch & lots of laughs. Some of us carried the day on by going out for dinner which was lovely & involved even more laughs. Thanks ladies!

My friend, Pam, has had a lovely stamp made for me & I adore it. Thank you Pam mwah mwah.

I have made some of the shoebox cards from our meet & still have some not quite finished. I have also made a card which I thought would be really difficult but once it was in my head it all worked out ok, I think.

Teddy Boy

I was unsure what I should make for my cousin's 70th birthday then I remembered the Flippin Teddy Boy from La Pashe.

I have used both sides of the teddy boy & attached him with a strip of acetate so he moves. I'm sure John will love it - at least I hope so!

Pork chop & some rhinos

I really love this image & as soon as I saw it I knew who the recipient would be lol. I don't know many 14 year old girls that prefer rhinos to make up or boy bands but that's what was requested!

My beautiful Goddaughter................

Also been making

Cards for the young teens

and a wedding one. I thought these Kanban images are great for pre teens & young teens who all appear to be permanently attached to their phones. The wedding one is for the teacher of Owls class at my granddaughter's school. I hope she likes it!!

A card & a necklace

I really love this card & enjoyed making it & it was also good to find time to get my beads out again!
The only thing is, having done that, I now need to have a real sort out in my beading boxes. I'll probably enjoy that though because I love touching the beads lol.
