Hi All

Here I am  for another posting, I have been busy making a card for my Niece for her birthday she is a great dog lover and so I needed to incorporate a dog image into my design.

I am taking my own pictures now and I am please with the way they are turning out maybe I can become a professional photographer or maybe not watch this space.

 As you can see I made an easel card with  twisted sides and I am happy with the outcome. The dog images are not the same as her pet but I am sure she will like it. That's it for now short and sweet, see you soon.

The images are Papermania.

St Patrick's Day

Hi All

Well this is great two posts in one week well done me. I have been making a few card but the Hubby had the camera in his car. I pinched it the other night and took a few photos of my cards ready for future blog postings

It is St Patrick day tomorrow and I made the following card for my Husband Hugh.

Again I have used a free digi stamp which I coloured with my pro markers. The paper was given to me by my friend Carol who spoilt me rotten by giving me a wad of patterned paper. Loved all the papers and thanks thanks thanks Carol. I used my nestabilities to cut out the stamp  and added glossy accent to the mushroom, flowers and leprechaun's suit. Just need to add a sentiment to the front of the card and it is finished.

Sisters Birthday And Memories

I made the following card for my Sisters birthday. Last year she complained because her birthday card was boring compared to one I made for another member of the family. I think it was the style of the card she liked so much. So this year she has an easel card the style she so much admired.  So here's hoping I have it right this year.

The picture I used is a free digi stamp from the web. It remind me so much of her as a child my Mother used to style our hair like this which is a pony tail on the top of your head tied up with a ribbon. I hope she can see herself in the image. Unfortunately she had almost white hair at the time and I could not replicate this in the stamped image. I still remember the photograph of the three sisters stood together all holding their dolls.

Today I need to update my blog. The following card was made for my friend Fi’s Birthday. I had a catastrophe with the original card I made for her, I left a baby wipe on my desk but unfortunately it was touching the card, when I came back what a mess, I needed to make a new card one quickly. And here it is.

Matida stamp

Paper Oriental by Papermania.

My next card is for my Cricut Club challenge. We were tasked by Fi to make a card with a branch as the theme and this is my interpretation.

The cartridge I used is Cindy Loo for the bird and tree branches and was lent to me by my friend Denise thanks very much.

The card base is from Storybook.

Hi All

Sorry I have taken so long to post to my blog again but I have been having problems photographing my cards, now I have got it cracked.

I made the following card for my sister birthday and I am happy with how it turned out.

I pinched the idea for the card from a friend of mine she was making the card at a craft club I attend thanks Carol.

The owls are made by Kanban and the paper is Woodland folk by Papermania

The Stamp are my Woodland folk from Papermania and cut out with the Nestabilities my sister won at the craft club.  She is a bead maker so I kept them for myself and used them for first time on her card thanks Barb.

My final picture shows the insert I made for the card and the verse came from a free verse site on the web thanks to them. See you soon.

I have been busy with my Christmas cards and I wonder, when will this all end.  I will be pleased when it is time to get them in the post.

I think I am obsessed with easel cards I love to make them. This is just a digi stamp from the net and I coloured it with my pro-markers and them added some dazzle.

Hi All

This is the first card I have posted to my blog, I made it for a special friend who is ill, she is going through a course of treatment. I just wanted to let her know that she has friends out there thinking of her.
