Wow another lovely day in this area.  Can't believe it! Maybe we are going to get a summer after all.  Hope everyone is having good weather and good vibes for crafting.   Heres another baby card I made last week. Stamped around the edges and coloured with promarkers then used spellbinders dies in two sizes to mount.  The wee boy on the cushion stamp is just adorable and so easy to colour, again the promarkers do most of the work for you, I believe.Hope you like him anyway.

Wow didn't realise it had been so long since I added anything to my blog.  Been away at the Caravan recharging the batteries and yes, making some cards.  I will add one or two later.   Think I have sorted out the probs I was having with the blog so fingers crossed we go onward and upward.  Hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the start of the sun, well it is just the start here in Scotland.  Surely it can only get better!

Not been on for a wee while but had a good day in the workshop today and managed to get all these cards done.  Will post them individually over the next few days but just wanted to say hello.  Hope you like them.  I am still having probs with my blog off and on so am most probably going to get some help to sort out a new one.  Will try to keep you posted as to my progress with it.

Made this one from patterned acetate I had in a pack from Crafters Companion.  I put the shaped card through my ebosser using the embossing folder and cut out my spellbinder butterflies. The greeting was cut  using my cricut.  The shaped card I then put around the acetate, added the embellishments and there we have it.
Happy Easter to all.  Just back from our week away and feeling like time to get back to my workshop.  Got lots of images coloured while I was away so now time to put them together.  Hope everyone has kept safe through the bad weather and speak to you all again soon.

Second in the theme.  used wide ribbon behind her this time which showed the nice summery feel of the card I thought.  Used my embossilicious spotty folder for the background.

Latest card to add to the stash.  Used my CC toppers and nestabilities.  Added some lace around the first layer to give some added texture and peel offs around the edge.

Thursday 14 March 2013

The sad cards that have to be made.  Used my nesties to cut these out and then layered them up. It fits  an A5 or should I say C6 envelope, never get the size of envelopes right!  Was pleased with result anyway. xFeel free to comment if you can see a way to improve etc. xx

Proud Grandma

Not posted for a couple of days.  Been away with my daughter and Grandaughter who was competing in the Scottish Gymnastic Comp.  She got a Gold medal for her freestyle piece and a Gold medal for her Ball piece which made her the under 9's Scottish Champion, so she came away with a Trophy too.   What a lovely Mothers Day I had.  So proud of her.  Then came home to a lovely cooked dinner, done by my lovely husband and he had picked up my Mum and other daughter and youngest grandson
