Fathers Day Cards

Hi, couple of Fathers Day cards I've made over the last few days. This one is decoupage 'Remember When' range. Looks really good but doesn't seem to photograph very well. This is for John's dad - hope he likes it. Got to think of something really special to do for his birthday this year - he's going to be 85!!!!

The brown card used for backing is gorgeous - really shimmery - not showing up at all.

This one is for my dad. We used to have a VW camper when I was younger - god we had some great holidays in that - me and my cousin sleeping in the hammocks above my mum & dad in the bed underneath and my brother and one of his friends out in the awning!!! God what fun!!!! Hope it brings back some memories for him - although ours was traditional orange!

Used little sentiment stamp by Personal Impressions and punched it out with circle punch and added some bling!!

Well I wish every Dad a very Happy Father's Day for Sunday and hope you are all spolit and looked after well xxx

On another note I have been a very, very naughty girl today!! Before 6am this morning I had spent part of next months wages!! I ordered 'The Cinch' - I just couldn't resist - it looks great. I know, I know I shouldn't have!!! I already have a Bind it All - but think I will have to sell that.

Can't wait for it to arrive so I can have a play!!!

Well, bye for now and I promise I'll try to be a good girl xx

Card Order & another!!

Hi, I was asked a couple of weeks ago by my boss, Jo, to make a card - the order was actually from her childminder - for her son and wife who was having a little girl. Wanted their names on it and the baby's name - Polly Zillah - so here it is - gave it to Jo on monday and she's passed it on and apparently she loves it!!! Which is really, really nice to hear. Hope you like it. The backing papers are from DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl pack and the clothes line is by K & Co. ribbon and baby face button from stash - can't remember where got them from sorry.

I think the name Polly Zillah is very unusual - not sure where name comes from.

Inside of card - backing papers from Joanna Sheens Baby Love CD. I cut the heart on my cricut and added bling - it has to be done LOL

This is a house mouse decoupage card I made for my SIL, Jean who's birthday is today - Happy Birthday Jean!!! hope you've had a great day!!!

Sentiment stamp is by Penny Black.

Well, I'm off now to sort a few things out before watching the final of Junior Apprentice. Anyone want anyone in particular to win???? I just wish Zoe wouldn't wear such bright lipstick LOL LOL

bye for now

Sugar Bowl Challenge No. 36

Hi, this is my entry for the Sugar Bowl challenge - No. 36 I've coloured in Sugar Nellie's - Sweet & Sassy with copics and mounted on black pearlised card. The backing paper is from Forever Friends Pink Parfait pack.

The flowers I got from Craft Den but can't remember who they are by. I used a pearl brad, gemstone and glittery one (all from a Papermania pack)

The sentiment stamp is from Penny Black and I've put little black pearls underneath in the middles of some of the little flowers. Hope its ok.

Thanks for looking.

First Christmas cards for this year!!

Well, here are a few christmas cards I've made over the last week! I said I was going to make at least one christmas card each week from January - LOL - these are the first ones this year!!! I'm a bit behind I think!!! No idea who makes this decoupage image or where I got it from - just in my christmas stash!!!

I stickled snow falling but not showing up very good on photo. I need lessons on how to take better pictures!!!

Again no idea on image or backing papers - although think paper is hot off the press.

Now I do know this one is Kanban - I know they are dead easy to put together but got to admit I do quite like some of them for quick and easy cards!!!

message says - Christmas Wishes - but can't get it clear on photo - sorry!!

This is forever friends decoupage (was part of kit from QVC last year) - not sure who makes the mirri card - got it in Devon - absolutely love it!!!! Quite a simple card but think its quite effective!

Off now to finish a card I'm doing for another challenge - yes another challenge - never entered any and then try to go for 2 in one day LOL LOL

'Anything Goes' Challenge

Hi, sorry not blogged for a while - I really don't know where the time is going!!!! I thought I'd be brave today and enter a challenge - so here's my attempt for the 'Anything Goes' Challenge - by Lynne at Craft Den. Hope its ok Lynne. You never know maybe I'll get into some others now I've braved one - not sure how I go about finding them all though LOL. The challenge was Wings and blue, brown and yellow. I've never put blue with brown and yellow before so was quite a challenge. Hope you think it looks ok. They are blue gems in corners as well but not showing very clearly for some reason.

Decoupage is one called Innocent Heart. Made by Reddy Creative Cards - Angel Whispers range, can't remember where got it from been in stash for ages LOL.

The sentiment stamp used is by Stampendous.

Well, I'll be back later to post some Christmas cards I've made over the last week.

Bye for now.
