Sister's Birthday

I made this card for my sister - it's her birthday today so I can show it.The Maya Road Owl is my favourite stamp at the moment. Inside, I have written 'but wiser?'

Tag your'e It Challenge

This week its a triangle tag - I was going to do a christmas tree but it didnt work out, so here's what happend instead.

Daring Cardmakers - 'Be inspired at home'

This weeks challenge over at DCM is to be inspired by something in the home, a pattern, design or motif. I decided to choose our place mats as I remembered I had some patterned paper of a very similar design. I have glittered around the edges of the decopaged flowers, but once again my camera hasn't picked this up.

Forum Competition

This month the theme was 'Christmas Animals' and there were bonus points for each leg that was visible! Here's my entries.

Christmas Challenges

This weeks challenge on Daring Cardmakers is to make a white card with a splash of pink.This is my type of challenge as I could do pink and sparkly all day long. The snowflake and the embossed background were done at my craft club as I don't own a cuttlebug.





Next I made a tag for Tag your'e it
and this weeks theme is 'Snow is falling. Used another snowflake die, Sandylion paper and Let it Snow sentiment.I also used a lot of glitter which doesn't show up very well.

Did someone mention Coffee?

Anyone who knows me is aware that I get very twitchy without regular visits to Costa/Starbucks (cinnamon latte is the current fave), so when I saw this weeks DCM challenge I thought I would join in for the very first time.It was simply to make a coffee inspired card, so here it is: I used BG phoebe paper and perfect pearls for the 'froth' I've also used lots of glitter but it hasn't shown up very well in the photo - and I've used one of my favourite sentiment stamps

Rob is 50

I have known about this birthday for months, I'm very much looking forward to the party, so why why why do I leave it until 2 days before the big day to make his card. Answer - mens cards are PANTS to do. I have also got a fluey bug, but enough excuses. Here it is - male card with football theme

Tag Challenge

This weekend's challenge over on Tag Your'e It is to use red & green. This is the first time I have joined in and heres what I came up with. The stamp is by Penny Black and the background paper is MM Falala glittered poinsettia.

Cake Challenge

.....not a real one - I don't think I've actually made a cake since about 1982. But, I've really enjoyed making these cupcake cards.

Mini Christmas planners

I made these using my BIA machine and sectioned them off into 3 parts - Xmas Cards, Gifts and Food.

Gift card holders

I made these gift card holders using a peice of card measuring 13X17cm and folded at 4.5 & 5.5 from each end. I punched eyelets on the inside at each end and used a small peice of velcro to keep the card closed















I made this card for a friend who has just moved to a brand new house. She loves bling and sparkle so I thought this would suit.

Christmas Planner

I made this Christmas Planner at Scrap Revolution, using a mixture of Bo Bunny Holiday Magic papers and various embellies. Its held together by a couple of book rings with ribbons tied to it. Now........hopefully this will mean that I'll be organised for Christmas!
