Hi All

I needed to make a special fun card for my brother- in- laws 60th Birthday and I came up with the following card. Initially I matted and layered the images onto three shapes I had cut on my cricut machine. Unfortunately my husband thought that this was a little fussy so I cut the layers  down to two, I must agree that they looked much better. I wanted the card to take him through stages of his life so the first one was of a young boy.

Papermania paper
Coloured with promarkers


The second Image was of a young man.

Stamp free digi image.

The final part of the card was for an old man and the letters were cut out on my cricut machine, and  I used the storybook cartridge.

As you can see I changed the heading on the card from old man to old G?? not very nice but it will make him laugh.
Well that it for tonight.

Hi All

I forgot to post this picture of me at the Harrogate flower show. I went with Hugh and we both had a great day out.

This is just one of the many flower displays on show. We spent the whole day at the show and I was exhausted at the end but the day was well worth the effort.

Here we go for my second posting today a special little Bear.

I think he is so cute and the colours all match so well.  I shall have great pleasure in producing him again.
The bear was a free digi stamp and I used my pro-markers to colour  him. So there you go Pauline a second posting just for you.

Hi All

I went to my cricut club on Saturday and had a most enjoyable day cutting out background from my friend Fiona's cricut cartridge paper lace I used it as a background for one of my cards and here it is.

My Friend Pauline was moaning at me for not posting to my blog more often so just for her I will post two cards today.

Hope you all like it.

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.
