I never got round to posting these....

Well I know it's been ages and ages since I posted but I just don't have the time to make cards, never mind post them, these days! Anyway just thought I'd show you a few cards that I made in the Summer and never got round to posting and wish you all a Happy New Year at the same time. 

The first few were made using LOTV squares.

The next ones are LOTV stamps coloured with Promarkers.

I've used various backing papers and Cuttlebug embossing folders. The ribbons are mainly Stampin Up, the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and lots of Craftwork cards Candi.

Weakest Link

The challenge over on Shopping Our Stash is to use your weakest link. In other words use the item that can't you resist buying. Well, hellooooo! I'm a crafter! How do you limit that to just one thing? I'm afraid I've cheated a little and used the two things I can never resist the most and that's flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts or anywhere else for that matter and pearls of any description as long as they're sticky. So here's my card which also features yet another LOTV square.

I deliberately didn't add a sentiment so the card could be used for a birth, christening or anything else appropriate.

Thanks for having a look,

Things with Wings

Wow - 2 posts in one day! I did say I'd be back soon!


I'd just finished making this card when I spotted the Things with Wings Challenge over on Delightful Challenges, so I thought I might as well enter it.

The image is yet another LOTV square. The card, backing paper and ribbon are all Stampin Up. I've edged her wings and tiara and also the circle and lace edge of the outer circle in glitter but you can't really see them on the photo.

Thanks for looking,

PS Welcome and thanks  to my two new followers.

Two birthdays

I know it's been ages since I last posted, but life has been work, work, work and more work!!!!! Nearly the holidays now and needless to say I'm counting the days.

Here are two cards that I've made for two of my offsprings' birthdays. The first was for my eldest son's which was actually last month and the second for my daughter whose birthday is on Sunday.

The car on this is decoupaged and his initials are on the registration plate.

And here's another LOTV 'square'. No guesses what daughter's name is!!!!!

Squares!

Three cards made with the lovely LOTV die cut squares. These are so easy to use. I made these cards in half the time I usually take, as there was no stamping or colouring to do and in my opinion the results are just as good.

All the card and  backing papers on the baby boy cards are SU and the rest of the elements on all the cards came from my stash.

Baptism

Happy Mother's Day to all you mums out there who deserve their well-earned rest today!

Although I'm not doing much, I'm currently 'celebrating' on my own as OH has gone off to see his family, both sons are still in bed (far too early for them to be up!) and daughter has texted to say she won't be round till after tea.

So I thought I'd share a commissioned card for a baptism with you. Hope you like it.

The image is one of the new LOTV die cuts which I bought at Harrogate. These are lovely and great when you need to make a card and haven't got time for colouring. For anyone who hasn't seen these yet, you're in for a treat as there are some new images too.

The blue card and papers are SU, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the rest is from my stash.

I printed the sentiments straight from my PC.

Have a great day,
