Another Post!!!!

Yes, it's true, I'm back again.

I made these two men's cards this morning using these stamped and coloured images that seem to have been hanging around forever. They're not my stamps so don't know where they're from.

I think both of these might come in useful as I have relatives who are into rock music/playing in bands etc and the football one is in Hull City colours and I know quite a few fans!

Thanks for popping in and welcome to my even newer followers.

The first image is Sugar Nellie.  Thanks, Helen, for that info.

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.

LIM Christmas

Hello All,
I know I haven't blogged for ages but the holiday finally arrived and off we went to sunny Tunisia again!. Well, I'm back now and decided to do a bit of crafting. First of all I made 60....yes 60... cards for my podiatrist which she uses to remind people about their appointments. This wasn't as big a job as might seem as they are super-simple cards.
Then I decided to use my imagination a bit but thought I'd stick with something fairly simple and decided to join in with the LIM challenge which is a One Layer Card this time. Now this is not as simple as it sounds and I'm still not sure about the result, so have a look and see what you think!

Before you say anything, I know the sentiment isn't straight and normally I would have stamped it on another piece of card and layered it over the original mess but as it's a OLC I couldn't do that.
Anyway, everything is SU.
Card - Kraft
Stamp sets - Lovely as a Tree, Silent Night & Season of Joy
Inks - Close to Cocoa, Basic Grey & Whisper White.
I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to re-stamp with the WW for the snow effect. (That's what it's supposed to be anyway!)

Thanks for looking and I'll be back soon...honest!

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.

Carrie's Wedding

Here's the card for I made for my friend Carrie and her new husband Keith. They were married today after 15 years of being together!

And here she is, looking beautiful, as a bride should!

 And, sorry Carrie, but I couldn't resist....here's the kiss!

 

And now I must go and make myself beautiful for the evening do.

Hope to blog again soon , but time is so short and work is so hectic! :)

I'm Back!

Well, just in case you didn't even know I'd gone... I've just come back from 'not so sunny' Tunisia. I'm not posting any piccies cos they're only the same as last time and you can see them here if you haven't already seen them. :)

I haven't had time to make any new cards since I got back as I've been busy catching up with my school work. Yuk!

So here's a couple of LOTV cards I made a while back but haven't yet shared with you.

This one was made with SU card and SU backing paper.

The card is SU again but I have no idea where I got this lovely colourful backing paper from!

I can't wait for the new LOTV boys stamps which are due out later this month. You can have a sneak peak at some of them here.
