A card for my friend

Can upload this now as she has got it. Made this card for my fiends birthday as I new she liked these images, I think she liked the card. Don't have to tell you who it was for as it has her name on the card. The stamps are from Debby Moor

ATC

Made this for my SOTH Darlene, she bought me the stamps, brill Betty Boop it is the biggest one I have , they usually quite small. I am chuffed to bits with it. They are from Viva Las Veges

Hubby's birthday card

Well bless him my other half is 70 next week, he has raced pigeons since he was about 16, he loves all birds but of coarse they are his favorites. So I have come up with this and just hope he likes it, it will make a change from the cheeky ones I usually make

This bottom picture is supposed to b e a blackbird but looks more like a crow, he has one that waits till he gets the spade out then sits on the spade while he digs so he can get the worms

March challenge

This months challenge on a group I am on is shades of blue, so this is what i come up with. The stamp was a prezzie of my SOTH Darlene, it is from Viva Las Vegas, fab Alice stamp. the message stamp is from sweet pea stamps and of coarse the fancy edging is done with a Martha Stewart punch. I just love this punch

My deco pages

These are the 2 pages I have done for my deco, as you will of gathered the theme is Alice in wonderland, I really like thses stamps and have enjoyed making them

Easter ATC's

These are out of my comfort zone as there are no stamping, just thought I would have a go, not too bad. Anyhow hope the girl they were for likes them

Bird ATC's

Made these for a bird swap, can you guess, used distress inks and a Tim Holtz word stamp. The bird stamp is Crafty individuals, love there stamps

family birthday cards

Not a brill picture sorry, here is 2 of the 3 family birthday cards I have done for today's birthdays. Yep I have 3 today Granddaughter Kaitlynn, GN Lucy and DIL Tracy. Afraid Kaitlynn's isn't stamped as she is Tinkerbell mad and have no stamps of her and Lucy's I forgot to scan , typical of me and the little girl one is for Tracy as I think she would love a Daughter but she has 2 fab Sons

Black and one colour swap

Well this is a swap on one of my groups, you had to use black with one other colour and that is it, of course did one then I was away as you can see by the above, the stamps are from Stone house stamps. I will get the hang of this blog thing eventually and get to put things were I want them but at least they are there

Butterfly ATC's

These are some ATC's I have done for a swap on one of my groups, I stamped the butterflies on glimmer mist backgrounds then cut them out. I like cutting images out and making the backgrounds separate

First go with grunge paper

Well have had a go with the grunge paper, must admit if I had known how it ponged might not of bought it. I wanted to make flowers with it, well not bad I suppose for a first try but the colours in the body part aren't as strong as I would of liked

Gate cards

This is the gate card open, the little girl is from Suger Nellie, I think she is lovely. the other one is with the gate closed, I got the template for the gate from crafts you love.

The foar one is made with a tamplate I made as I wanted a smaller gate, so had to adapt the larger one but did not turn out bad

Eldest Son's card

Well have made this today, as I said before with Jasons card had to adapt this as you can only buy set words like Mum Dad Happy Birthday and so on, so what I did was a search for a alphabet I could use as template. Resized to the height I wanted and printed them off, now I can do any name I like or word. I am not brill at explaining as you know but will try. Cut your letters out then take the first letter of the word you are doing and cut a piece of card to the height of the letter. Trace round the letter, then decide how much card you want left at the side of the letter, then cut your card. trim round the front half of your letter. Next trace round your next letter and trim round the front of the letter again, then put it up to your first letter, leaving so much showing in front of the first letter. Then cut off level with your first letter, carry on doing this till you have made your word, then you are ready to decorate.
Hope you can understand all that, if you want to ask me anything feel free to email me

Year of the Tiger

As you know this year is year of the tiger and this is my version, me is thinking might be a good theme for next months ATC swap

KC ATC swap

This is my ATC for the Feb swap, the theme is numbers, the background has numbers stamped on, used this stamp as it has one man band on it and that fell in nicely with the theme

Grandson Ross's birthday card

Why is it when you think something is going to be simple it turns out taking you ages, well decided I would make an action card for one of my Grandsons and this is what I ended up with, it is in three steps and actually should of had the figures the other way round but never mind learn by your mistakes as they say. The football is attached with acetate so it looks like it is in the air in real life, there is a goalie in the net but you can't see him on this picture any how just thought I would share

KC deco swap

Have just posted my first 2 pages off to Angela, her theme is fun and nonsense, do hope she likes these. They where fun to do I love this funky bear, he is from Viv las Vegas, the chicken I love, have a few of these and they make a great funny card

One of my new stamps

Give you one guess who this is, made this very fast last night, as had to try it out .Embossed it in disco black so it is nice and sparkly. Got the image from Stampingback, they have some great stamps and are very good on postage costs too

KC January swap

We did postage stamps for this swap, but being a stamping group we have to stamp too, anyhow I was lucky that I had some rubber stamps to match my postage stamps and this is what I came up with

ATC swap

Made these for a swap I was in, am in the fun mood at the mo, just hope my partner liked them.

The blue one was for another swap and for the fist time I had a go at putting applique on with a sponge then heating it with the heat gun, didn't turn out too bad. Think I might use that again
