Playing

I was visiting a friends blog last month and was really impressed by her fancy fold thingy card so I thought I would have a go at making one myself. Well being a bit thick I had to email Linda to find out how to do it! Her instructions were really good but even so I didn't put my all in to it as I thought it would probably go wrong, so I just had a play with it to see how it worked. I think next time I will make it a bit shorter so I can use smaller stamps, but anyway here is my effort and here is a link to Linda's blog where you can see how to do it properly!!!



This is the inside, a sort of Andy Warhol stylie - well in my head it is anyway!!!




And this is the cover! Thanks for looking - leave a comment if you like!!!!

ATC Swap

I've made 4 atcs for a monthly swap that I do on Hels Crafty Angels, and we had to follow the theme of friendship, include ribbon, a 3D element and of course rubber stamping! I really enjoyed making these atcs as it made a nice change from all those xmas cards!!!!!

My First Card for 2009!

How lazy am I!!!! This is my first post on my blog this year - tut tut!!! This is a birthday card that I did for Irene. I used a new shape of card that I recently bought and I covered one section with decorative paper and then used my glossy rub ons, paper flowers and gem stones to decorate the fold over detail. Not very adventurous but you have to start somewhere I suppose!

December Birthdays

Dont we have enough to do without peeps having birthdays in December!!! Only joking, some of my best friends have birthdays in December so I really dont mind making cards for them!!! Here are a few I've been doing. This one is for my uncle, the text was done on my Cricut machine and the decoupage I've had for quite awhile.



This one is for my friend Kerry whose birthday is on Monday, the image was given to me by another friend, which I coloured in with my new watercolour pencils, but I didn't use water!!!




This is for a forum friend who will be 40 today, I used some new dufex decoupage that I got this week, I kinda guessed she might be having a tipple over the weekend!!!



I made a great card for my other friend but I forgot to scan it so I cant show you - sorry!

Anyway, thanks for looking xxx

Birthday Treat

A lovely person called Tracey will soon be 40 and to celebrate she is offering some candy here! Why not have a look xxx

I'm a bit late posting this on my blog as it was last weeks Pocket Challenge and the theme was pussycats :) I just couldn't get on line until today so better late than never I guess!!! Anyway here it is!



I do prefer the front to the inside - even though there aren't any pussycats on it, but its kind of pretty with the prima flowers on it.



The inside is ok in fact its nicer in the flesh but it just hasn't scanned very well - but I have to say I do love this cat stamp - I think she looks French, dont ask me why. Anyway, thanks for looking :)

Tie A Yellow Ribbon

Its the Sunday Stamper theme and a great song too! Below is a little atc that I made for this week's challenge (week 33 - can you believe it!). I used some Basic Grey paper, some yellow ribbon (yeah, really!!) and a fab Tim Holtz stamp - hope you like it and thanks for looking :)
