Tweet!


An inky card for today! I stamped the image and inked the edges of the white card then matted them onto some of my Hot of the Press stash!
i've just noticed the colours I have used are very bruise like!

Island Fun!


This weeks "My Time to Craft Challenge" is "Island Fun" So I made mine all sunny and orange! I stamped and heat embossed Linda Luckin's palm tree stamp in black and coloured the sun in. Then I cut a black and orange zig zag circle with my nesties. A piece of ribbon, some acrlic blobby things and a flower finish it off (well there's a suprise Fifi!!!!)

Tree Ring


Playtime today! So I made a couple of things for a friends birthday and a couple of extra things. Here is one extra. I made it with stampboard covered in green inks and then stamped the trees with versafine and heat embossed them. I edged the whole thing with krylon gold leafing pen. A green flower charm finishes it off!

Birthday Girl




Here is a birthday card and present I made for my friend Lesley. The card is very straight forward. I marked her birthday with a circle and some glossy accents.







The present was difficult cause what do you make for the woman who has everything? Well here is what I came up with! I hope she liked it and finds it a little bit useful!


Hockey


Some cards for an order - how come no matter how much stuff I have someone always askes for something I don't have? Hockey sticks are one of them! So I had to design my own. I hope it's not too noticable. I'm actually quite pleased with how they have turned out.

A is for.........


It's here at last well it has been actually since Friday but this is the first chance I've had to post my A twinchie. Well here it is at last. I made the background with small alphabet stamps stamped with brown versafine.Then I coloured the chipboard A with gold ink and added some amber jewels. I stamped and embossed in gold one of Linda's gorgeous swirls. The word was made with Tim Holtz doo dahs covered with glossy accents. To finish off the twinchie I edged it with gold krylon pen.

Mike's Birthday


My husbands birthday soon so thought I'd better pull my finger out and get his card made. So I used the same stamps as I used for this weeks My Time to Craft Challenge. Well they are perfect for my husband! The only problem is the man in the image has more hair than Mike :O)

Raining Men


This weeks "My Time to Craft Challenge" is "It's Raining Men." Luckily I need a man card so I used this as a chance to make it! The stamped images are from Woodware. I cut the name and age out with my cricut. All finished off with some acrylic blobby things.
If you fancy a challenge this week or any week for that matter pop along to "My Time to Craft" everyone welcome - have some fun!

Swan Song



My mother's day treat as well as afternoon tea at a local cafe is a bit of me crafting time! So I made a couple of cards. The first one with the elegant swan I stamped the swan with versafine and coloured parts of it with a sukura glitter gel pen. I added some vellum with silver spots to the corner and finished it with some flowers that I had also touched up with the gel pen.
The second card is girly- this stamp is from papermania and coloured her in to match the background paper.

Happy Mother's Day


This is the card I made for my mum - I used my acetate butterflies cause I know how much she likes them. The word was cut on the cricut. I finished it off with prima flowers and some gems - but I think I forgot the ribbon!!! I hope she will forgive me!
