Birthday card for a special friend

Hi all,

This is a card that I made last night for a special friend of mine whose birthday it is next month.

I am absolutely over the moon with it as I have actually coloured in the picture myself with my Spectrum Noir pens. The image is from flower soft and the papers and flowers are from one of their capsule collections.

I love it and hope you do too.

Thanks for looking.

Long time, no blogging!!!

Hi all,

Sorry it's been a long time since my last blog. Life has been hectic to say the least. I've been away with my 2 girlfriends to a log cabin near Sudbury, Derbyshire. It was a really nice break (the hot tub was amazing) but you do learn a lot about people when you spend 3 solid days hauled up in a log cabin together! lol!

Anyway, will get on with my post. I've been forgetting to take pics of my cards as they are completed so I had a night of picture taking of the cards I've made over the past couple of weeks and here they are.

My photography is something to be improved on (lol). Will try to get better. Hope you like.

Mothers Day

This is a card I made for the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge for Mothers Day. I love this card. I made it with papers from my recent Special Edition Making Cards magazine.

Hope you all like.

Hi all.
This is a card that I made last night to enter into C.R.A.F.T. Challenge Sketch Challenge.

This is the sketch I had to follow.

I made this 8"x8" card using free NitWit papers and toppers that came with my recent copy of Simply Homemade.

I hope you all like.

Hi to all of those reading,
I'm sorry I haven't been on here recently. Still trying to get into the swing of taking photos of my cards and remembering to bluetooth them to the computer and uploading them. Hopefully I'm getting there and it will become more of a habit.
Just wanted to show you a few cards/scrapbook page/items that I have made recently along with a beautiful table piece that I bought from JGD Crafts in Sutton. The kit contains 3 of each design and is actually made somewhere in Mansfield so it's even better that it's local.
Here I go.......

Hope you all like.

The most time consuming card I have ever made!!!

Hi all,

For the past two nights I have been making this card. It took me absolutely ages to make as I had to cut out all the decoupage itself (you don't realise how much you rely on die cuts!). 

I'm glad I persevered and stuck with it as I think the outcome is beautiful.

The kit is purchased from Craftsuprint. I love their stuff and it's a bargain as you can print it as many times as you like once you have downloaded it.

Hope you all like it as much as I do.
