My Favourite 5 of 2010...

Morning all,

I hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve whatever you were doing?  Good job I scheduled my Sketch Saturday post yesterday - man my head hurt lol!!  But a very fun evening  :o)


So as I'm feeling human again today I thought I'd join along with Debby's Favourite 5 of 2010.  You just need to choose your favourite 5 cards (or near to 5 if you can't choose 5!) and post them.  So here are mine in no particular order.....all 10 of them!  (sorry Debby!)


February 2010 - This is Hubby's Valentines Card.  I really like the layout of this one and of course the Penny Black stamp!!


March 2010 - I made this card for my God Mum's Hubby.  I love the Doodlebug papers, layout and colouring on this one, and it reminds me of spring!


April 2010 - I made this one for my friend's daughter.  Again I love the Penny Black stamp and the layout of this one.  It was the first time I put ribbon behind the buttons too and I was really happy with how that turned out.


June 2010 - I love the simplicity of this card and I think the colour scheme is really striking.


July 2010 - This was my first commissioned card for a friend of mine to give to her Sister-In-Law on her 50th birthday.  I was so nervous making it but really happy how it turned out and my friend loved it and asked for more cards!!  Charleston Tilda rocks  ;o)


July 2010 - This is my absolute favourite card of 210 that I made for my Dad for his 60th Birthday.  I used 3 8x8 inch cards to make it and decided on a 'This is Your Life' type card which illustrated some of the major (and silly minor!) events in Dad's life.  It took a whole weekend to make but I really love the result and so did Dad  :o)

September 2010 - This was my 2nd card I made as a Sketch Saturday DT Member.  Sooooo chuffed to be on the Design Team!!  I made it for our best friends who celebrated their 1st Wedding Anniversary and love the layout, papers and Elzybells stamp on this one.


November 2010 - I made this card for another friend's daughter - I love the bunting and especially Pirate Tilda, oo-arrrrrr!


November 2010 - This one I made for my Brother-In-Law, it's a shaker card.  I love 'Fluffy' and was voted a Pollycraft Favourite with this one  :o)


December 2010 - A very recent card of mine and already a favourite!!  I think this stamp is wicked and love these papers (sorry if I've bored you by using them on so many cards - I've even bought more, lol!)


I hope you've enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane with me today.  Looking back at my cards has got me thinking about lighter evenings and warmer weather - roll on spring!  Normally at the start of the year I'm feeling quite down but this year I feel so alive and can't wait for the coming year - I do hope it's a good one...

Lots of love everyone, see you all soon.  I think I'm going to make my first card of 2011!!...

Fab at 50!!

Hi everyone!
Well I've just got in from work to find my Magnolia Summer Stamp Club has arrived, how exciting is that whoop whoooooooooop!!! I absolutely love Magnolia stamps and this is the first time I have ordered the stamp club, they're all gorgeous!! It's a summer theme with Sailors and Mermaids, ooooooooo I love them all and can't wait to start using them!!
Onto my card now and yes you guessed it, it's a Tilda, lol! This card was a commissioned card for one of my friends to give to her Sister-In-Law who's turned 50 years young! What do you think?...

The backing papers I used are Magnolia's Once Upon a Time Pink Starlit and Papermania's Rose Garden Collection both layered onto Bazzill Bling card, the Raffia Lace is from Paper Cellar and the Organza ribbon is by Celebrate from Hobbycraft, the flowers are punched using my X-Cut Retro Flower punches with Crystal Stickers pearl gem centers, the sentiment was computer generated and I've used my Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch, nesties and Glamour Dust for extra sparkle!
I'm entering this card in two challenges:
Just Magnolia Challenge Blog - Week 63 A Recipe (3 flowers, 2 papers and 1 ribbon)
Off to do the paperwork for Hubby now and maybe later (hopefully if I have time!) I can stamp up my new babies!!
Lots of love
