Friend

Well I have got to say the Papermania Vintage Notes Collection  is one of my favourite.The colours are soft but burst with texture and I love the fresh twist on the shabby chic look

I made this card for my friend's 35th Birthday and added the butterflies which are cut with a spellbinders die.I also made the envelope, just look how pretty the papers are.

You're the Greatest

I wanted to make a card for my hubby as he is the Greatest. He has so much patience, and has looked after me so well since my accident .He has put up with my moans and groans and my frustration with the crutches.

I downloaded the papers from the  Docrafts Creativity Club and added the boat paper from the Forever Friends Retro Collection along with the découpage and sentiment from the same kit.  I finished off with some bright red ribbon  and blue buttons. What a cute card  and hubby loved it.

Bye for now

Fairy Card

Well while I have been at home nursing my broken foot I have managed to get on with some card making.  I made this card for a friend with one of  my favorite Lili of the Valley Stamps.  The papers are printed from one of the many papers I have stored on my computer. I have colored the fairy with promarkers and have layered her onto a scalloped circle die from Spellbinders. The sentiment is also from Lili of the Valley.  I have finished of the card with ribbon and sparkly gems.  I will be submitting this card for my Craft Qualification Unit 1 test.

Broken Foot

Well the day started off great, I went to see Becky James today doing her Demo's in Poole.  I picked up some great tips and I loved the cards that Becky made.  On my way back to my car I was just going up some steps when some kids behind me were messing around and one fell into me and I went flying. I have a broken foot in 3 places.  I am in plaster now.  I an not a happy bunny and have to go back to hospital on 7th Feb to see if they need to operate.

Saturday 2nd Feb

I am off to see Becky James tomorrow who will be at the Martket Gallery in Poole to Demo some great Docarfts products.  I cannot wait to see what Becky will be making.  I will tell you all about it when I get back.

Steampunk

 

 

I think the new Chronology Range from Papermania is fabulous.

It is perfect for inking and layering.

This is my first attempt and the man in my life loves it.

Been a bit hectic

 Its  all go here,  new cards coming soon ........
