Where did the week go?

Well, last week flew by with sickness bugs, sleepless nights, a visit to 6th Form College ... oh and work as well!

I still haven't got round to photographing the beautiful cards I made at Maria's Clarity workshop last weekend but, in the meantime, here are some recent cards I've made:

These were made using fabulous sentiments from Pink Petticoat and a felt pointsettia cut with a Marianne die.

 

The cute baby stamps are from Little Claires.

 

I designed and cut these shaped cards and butterflies using my Silhouette Cameo. I made the grungy flowers myself.

 

Hope you all have a good week .... One week till half term for me yayy!!!

Digistamp Boutique meets Pink Petticoat ...

Q: What do you get when you combine Digistamp Boutique images and Pink Petticoat sentiments?

A: Four super-cute cards ... well, I think so anyway!

 

 

Have a great week xx



Christmas is coming!

 

Made using fab images from Pink Gem Designs and Dovecraft papers.  Images coloured with my trusty Promarkers and Distress Inks.

 

I am entering Winter Kaya into A Gem of A Challenge: For the Girls

 



Pointsettias

A set of Christmas cards using some fabulous sentiments from Pink Petticoat, finished off with a pointettia cut with a Marianne die.

 





Playing with new embossing folders and dies

I got some yummy new Christmas embossing folders and dies recently and finally got round to having a play this weekend.  Here's what I came up with:

 

 

I was pleased with how they turned out as I also used inks with the folders for the first time too.  However, my hubby (who always gives me his honest opinion) doesn't like the gold one ... what do you think?  Should I make the bow smaller ... add something else?

 

Hope you've all had a good weekend xx



Over 3 weeks!!

I CANT believe it's over 3 weeks since I last posted!  I have been so busy travelling up and down the country to look after my mum and trying to fit in school holiday 'stuff' too.  Anyway, I'm glad to report the my mum is doing really well. She seems to be recovering a lot quicker that her first operation las year, so that's a big relief for me.

I also spent THREE whole days sorting out my craft stuff! (and it wasn't even that messy really lol)  I know have a super-organised craft area and homes for everything :)  The downside to that is, thought, that if I 'need' anything else, there might not be anywhere to store it!

I have also made quite a few cards since my last posting, some of them commissions others for personal use and I have even made some Christmas cards ... there, I've said it ... the 'C' word!

Far too much waffling from me now ... here are the cards:

 For my son - cant believe he's 15!

 

Here are my first Christmas cards this year:

 Lots of brayering and beautiful stamps from Indigo Blu

 

More brayering over snowflakes stamped with Versamark:

 

 

Phew! What a long post.  I cant even promise the next one will be soon as I'm back at work next week ... the end of SIX weeks!  Where did the time go? Roll on October half term!!!

 

Happy crafting and hugs xx
