Happy Friday Crafters

Just thought I would share a pretty card I made for my Mum for Mothers Day.  I used my favorite colors blue and pink as the main theme and chose this pretty SWALK image as the main focus.  I used Spectrum Noir pens and colored  pencils to bring life to the sweet girl.  I am pleased with the result and I am sure my Mum will love the card.

Lots of  Crafty Blessings

Getting ready for Easter

Well I know I am a little early with Easter Cards but I am trying to get organized before my craft room is knocked down.  We are having a lot of building work done and eventually I will have a nice new craft room at the front of the house.

 I have used a Country Companions topper and papers to match.  How cute are these little hedgehogs?

Hubby's Valentine Card

Hi Crafty Friends

Well its a cold day today so I thought I would pop in my craft room and listen to some music and make Hubby's Valentine card. I have used some  papers which I downloaded from the Docrafts web site quite a while back now. I though they were perfect for a masculine valentine card.

Hope to make some more cards in the next few days.  I need to get all my Easter ones ready as before long the work is beginning on my Bungalow and all my craft stuff will be packed away.  I cant wait for the day I have a brand new craft room.

Have a lovely evening crafter's

Sewing Projects

 Good Evening Crafters

I have been going to my sewing class and I am loving every minute of it but the sewing machine scares me a little bit.  It is so hard to sew in a straight line.  I made this cute pin cushion and this cute little book to store my needles.  I love how the turned out even though there are a few wobbly lines.  Next week we are learning to make a cushion cover.  Cant wait.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

Forever Friends - My favorite Bears

A lovely lady saw a card like this on my blog from quite a while back and asked if I could make one for her.  I think the Forever Friends Bears are so cute and they always make a great card for any occasion.   Thank you lovely lady for the card request it means so much, I don't have a lot of confidence in myself so this really gave me a crafting boost.

Loving my colored backgrounds.

Sympathy Card

I was asked to make a Sympathy Card for a card swap.  I had some gorgeous stamps and paper from Stampin Up which were perfect for the job.  I did not want to go over the top on this card so I just did a simple layout.

2014 Crafting Begins

Hi Crafty Friends

I have had a lovely hour in my craft room and made this cute card.  I love the bright colors and they really cheered me up on  this wet and windy afternoon.

I have not been happy with my photos on here so I decided to try adding some color to my background rather than white.  I really like the way this photo came out and I think I will try and stick to my plan and brighten the backgrounds up to really show off the card.

The Penny Black stamps are so cute and great to color in with my Spectrum Noir pens.
I made the card for my Auntie who will be 81.  She loves bright colorful things and she is young at heart so I am sure this will bring a smile to her face.

Hope you like my new look for 2014.

Card Swap

Good Evening Followers

I have made a card today for the card swap group I am involved with on Facebook.  The theme was a wild animal card.  I only had a cute wild animal in my stash.  Hope the lady I am sending it too likes it.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend
