Engagement Card

Coo-ee...

Shopping, shopping and more shopping!

Here's my final post for the night. This one was also a commissioned card for my God Mother for another of her friends who absolutely loves shopping.....show be a girl who doesn't, lol! I've used Clare Curds stamps for this one and coloured the image with my copics, although it didn't really take much colouring!...

Birthday Bouquet

Hi all,

Here I am again with another card I made just after Christmas, but haven't got around to posting yet! This one was a commissioned card for my God Mother for one of her friends, Pom. I think this Tilda works well for all sorts of occasions, especially birthdays! What do you think?

Christmas Kisses MWAH!

Evening All!

I hope I find you all well on this wet and windy night. I've just got in from Netball, been scoring games tonight and I got very wet and cold so now I'm curled up in the warm in bed, lovely! I'm very late posting this card (only by about a month, lol!) but I just had to share it with you. I made it for Daemo and wanted to enter the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog with it, but obviously didn't get around to that part! Anyway, thought I'd share it with you...

Close up of Tilda, coloured with copic ciao markers. I've added some pearls as the mistletoe and some glamour dust around the edge of the nestie...

The inside of the card. The sentiment is by Penny Black..

Happy Birthday Mummy!

Hi All,

I'm really going to try and keep on top of all my posts this year (famous last words I know!) so I've got a few cards to post over the next few days! Starting with this birthday card that I made for my Mum. It's an 8 inch x 8 inch card and I always worry that I'm not going to be able to fill them, but I soon start running out of room, lol! I'm going to enter this card in the Just Magnolia Challenge - Jay Jay's Sketch this week and as it's such a large card I think the sketch really suits it! What do you think?

Close up of 'Summer Time Tilda with Bow' stamp coloured with copic ciao markers. I stamped the 'Shabby Chic Fence' and added the 'Chasing Butterflies Sign', then 3D'd Tilda on top of them

Side view...

Inside...

The papers are by Panduro layered onto Core d'inations card. I've used my MS Doily Lace Punch and legless brads are from Craftwork cards as is the sentiment. The flowers and ribbon are from my stash.

And most importantly, my Mum loved her card! Happy Birthday Mum :o)

Gorjuss Friend

Hiya...

...and onto card number 2! This one I made for one of my best friends and I thought a Gorjuss Girl fitted the bill perfectly!...

Close up of stamped image, coloured with copic ciao markers...so Gorjuss!! I layered the image onto a scalloped square nestie and added some Glamour Dust for exta bling!

Side view of card...

Inside...

I got the design for this card from the Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog and I wanted to enter this card into the challenge.....but I didn't get it posted in time, whoops! Oh well never mind, I think the layout works really well with the image don't you?

The papers are by Bo Bunny and the backing card is Core d'inations layered onto pale blue pearlised card. The Happy Birthday sentiment is by Craftwork Cards and the To a Special Friend stamp was part of my prize for coming third in the Christmas Card challenge at my local Craft Club (thanks Invicta Craft Centre and Lisa Baker). The gems are by Basic Grey.

TTFN!

Happy New Year

Hi everyone and a big...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

...to you all! I hope you all enjoyed the festive period and Santa brought you lots of lovely pressies and crafting goodies?! Christmas is always a tough one for me and it's my son's birthday on the 30th December too so it all comes at once. He would've been 2 this year. Although I love Christmas; the lights, decorations, giving (and receiving!) of pressies, I am kinda glad when it's all over. I know that sounds a bit grinchy (and really I'm not grinchy at all) but I'm sure in time I'll feel better about it all and enjoy it once again. So I'm sorry for not visiting blog land over the festive period, I still have Christmas cards to post, lol! I'll catch up soon I'm sure and post them for you, even if it's a bit late, lol...

Lots of love to you all, I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2010!
