Christmas cards

My crafting has commenced...

I have made a few Christmas cards today, sorry the pictures are rubbish as I have had to use my sons camera as mine is dead.

The papers are single sheets from last year.  The toppers on the red scalloped card, the white 8 x 8 scalloped card and the square Merry Christmas card are all from Kanban.
The Christmas tree card and topper are from Create and Craft last year.

I am also putting these forward for the christmas cards all year round blog DT call.

A card for my sisters birthday

This is a card I made for my sisters big 40...

This card was made using a Fizzy Moon decopage image.  The shaped card is from Which Craft and the matt card is from Kanban.  I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I bought the key charm and made the pins up from beads I bought at a bead shop in Afflecks Place in Manchester

Lili of the Valley "Teddy flower stamp" card

I have used a Lilli of the Valley stamp called 'Teddy Flower' on this card.

The card is from Kanban.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The bow and buttons are from my craft stash...

For this card i coloured the image using Pro-markers.

I then added some glitter to the flowers and butterfly.

Ready-teddy-go DT - Buttons & Bows

Hi all,

This is my first DT card for the Ready-Teddy-Go challenge with a Buttons and Bows themed challenge.

I have used a Milton Bear stamp which I bought at the Stitch & Craft Show in February 2011.

 I used Kanban patterned card, sentiment and green gingham border strip.

Prima flowers and organza pink bow from my craft stash. The dragonfly is from the bead & charm shop at Afflecks Palace, Manchester.

I coloured Milton & his wheelbarrow with Copic markers and the flowers with Prisma colour pencils.

I then heavily glittered the flowers 'coz a girl loves her bling'...

Just a quick line to say i'm so sorry i look to have been neglecting my blog but i have had technical issues...
My cd/dvd drive 'got lost' and wouldn't work and my internet caused me severe problems also.  I can happily say that i think everything is fixed and up i am back up and running.

I will blog a card shortly.

Hello Blogland!

Here's my very first blog post...

The image is Spring Tilda and I coloured her with Copic markers.

The birthday sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

If I'm honest I can't quite remember where the paper is from 'cos I pulled it from it's stack when I was preparing the project some time ago but if you pushed me I would say that I thought it was a Forever Friends paper but wouldn't swear to it.

I raised Tilda and her bench from the background with foam tape to add some dimension and interest.

I'm entering this card into my very first challenge:

Cupcake Craft Challenge # 141 - Gingham & Roses
