Long time no blog....

I know it's been ages since I blogged and I would apologise but at this time of the year a teacher has much to do!!!! Anyway following feelings of guilt after my firend, Carrie, asked me to check out he brand new blog, I thought I'd make time for a quick blog.
So my first card is my daughter, Carrie's birthday card. (not the other one...I know it's confusing but try to keep up!) She's not likely to read this as she has no internet connection which would pose a problem if she were trying to read it!!!!! Well here it is. I cased it from the ILWS gallery here.

I hope she likes it cos I'm still a bit unsure about it myself.

Here's the recipe:

CS - WW, melon mambo and ballet blue

Ink - melon mambo, ballet blue and rich razzleberry

The flowers are from the Pretties Kit, coloured with melon mambo ( used a blender pen and the ink pad) and ballet blue and the ribbon is melon mambo.

The butterfly is from Flight of the Butterfly and the background stamping is done with Pocket Silhouette stamps which I've had for ages and finally got round to using.

The next two cards have been made using the hostess Level 1 set from the mini catalogue - Studio Sketches. I made them a while ago and have a feeling I may have cased them too, but goodness knows where from. So if you recognise them as yours, let me know and I'll add a link.

Can't seem to make this align left so recipe may look a bit odd.

CS - VV, basic grey and rose red

Ink - basic grey and rose red

Backing paper from Bella Bleu DSP

CS - VV, certainly celery and close to cocoa

Ink - certainly celery and close to cocoa

Ribbons - certainly celery and chocolate chip

Backing paper and sentiment from Love Stories scrappin kit.

That's all for today folks but there'll be more soon ....I promise.

Thanks for looking. x
