More Like The Movies

Good Morning All, 

The weekend is almost  upon us, thank goodness!

It's been a busy week & I've been very tired!

I have yet another Anniversary card to share with you today!

This one is for my brother & sister in law.

I used the small sepia toned image from one of the La Pashe 

Wrinklies At The Movies, decoupage sheets.

(When I was making this card, I had a song going through my head,

it was a tune by Dr Hook, back in the day, More Like The Movies.

I loved that song then & I still do now!)

I wanted to keep the card flat so I could easily pop it in the post.

The card base is A6 Kraft CS. I added a slightly offset plain black mat,

 then a panel of white embossed CS which was offset the other way.

The flimstrip was cut using a spellbinders die & I added some clear 

transparency fim to the cut out sections.

The little ticket sentiment was in my folder of images & sentiments

which have been printed off for a while. I layered up the bits from the

 cut out sections of the fim strip die & added it to the top.

You cant quite see it but I've a added a black panel to the inside of the 

card, with a white heart to write on. I've also added two

little black die cut hearts to decorate.

I hope you like my card, more to the point I hope the anniversary couple do!

Thanks for stopping by.

Good Morning all,

I'm back with another card today!

For those of you who asked, my first day back at work wasn't too traumatic

I actually enjoyed it if I'm honest (don't tell the boss though) Lol.

Here's the DT inspiration card I made for this month's challenge

 Lace & Pearls 

over at The Crafting Cafe on Facebook.

We have a new challenge every month which is 

Just For Fun & we welcome crafters of all levels.

We are a friendly (non selling) group & like to share hints & tips as well as

helpful advice. If you're not already a member, feel free to join us.

I used papers from my scrap box & a decoupaged image called 

Baby Bassinete from La Pashe 

which was left over from another project. 

The Double Decoupage download sheet came with both pink & blue images. 

Useful for twins or just to have a spare!

The lace is from my stash as is the pink satin ribbon & the pearls.

The little ticketdie I've used for the sentiment is from Tattered Lace.

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like my card.

I'd love to see you join in with the challenge too!

Good morning all!

Is it Monday already?? 

Boo, that means I'm back at work!

I've had a great week off taking in the sights & sounds of the

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 

as well as getting a few things done about the house!

So, now it's back to normality & a brand new challenge over at

Eurekas Stamps where the theme this time is

#155 Button Button (use a button on your creation)

I've used several tiny little, blue heart, buttons on my card!

The image & sentiment are both from Eureka Stamps

Digi 22205 Kite and Digi 8101(488) Good Luck

The base card is my usual 6"x6" square base.

The image & sentiment were printed onto some smooth card.

I added some clouds using a stencil & Tumbled Glass Distress Ink 

then paper pieced the image with some snippets of paper from the 

First Edition "Bird Song" Paper Pad,  

I added my little buttons to the bows on the tail of the kite.

I hope you like it & I hope you can play along in our

Button Challenge
