Next 3 fat book pages

 Well here are the next 3 Folks, S for sunset a real mixture of stamps used here and am ashamed to say can't remember who makes any of them

 T for Tiger, made my own background here with shimmer mists, know it does not show on here but quite shimmery in real life. Love this Tiger stamp, think it is from Onyx expressions

Well U was a problem, I thought everyone will be doing umbrella, so I have done Uptown girl, well it is different, it is a Debbie Moore stamp and I made the roses. Hope whoever gets one will like it

Hubby's birthday

 Well it is Fred's birthday next week and here are the cards I have made for him. I can't decide whether to give him the Ostrich or the Meercats. They are off a Peerless designs CD, I just love them they are called cuddle up cards as they are designed to close so that they look as if they are together

 The one below, well it explains itself, from a My craft studio CD and they are called off the shelf cards. Fred used to play darts many moons ago and was a good player too

 This one below again speaks for itself and he does like his pint but only has one once a week now bless him. You will be asking why so many cards, well I always make one for our Daughter Kim and one for Simon but can't make my mind up which one I should give him LOL

This and that

My Grandson Tom came and asked me to make his Dad a card for his birthday and this is what I came up with, am pleased to say he liked it. Apart from the hat it is very much like them as they are always taking there dog to the Dene and the fields to have a good walk

 The above one is not stamped, the Tinkerbell is of a colouring page, had to do Tinkerbell as she is daft about her. The butterfly is a Woodwear punch, the crown is off a CD I have, the rose I made. Pleased to say she loved that, thought she would as I put loads of glitz on, you tell me one little girl that does not like glitz

The above card is a very delicate baby card, think I should of used a deeper blue to stamp the image but never mind it is better in real life and must admit this is my favourite baby stamp, have others but always go back to this one. It is made by Santa Rosa

Hearts of hearts

Found out my Daughter in law loves hearts after 17 years,,,,,,,,,, so this is what I made her for her birthday. The card above is not stamped but you see she loves angels and fairies and this picture has both, it is another one from Joanne Sheenes CD, it is a fab cd

The heart above I made from scratch, don't faint, had no pattern no pins, all hand stitched and even though I say it myself I was quite pleased how it turned out and it brought a tear to Tracy's eye as she loved it and that was all that mattered. That is all for now Folks

Next deco round

 Here are my first two pages for KC next deco round, these are for Janice, her theme is black pink and mauve. The above one I have used Paper Artsy stamps and the trees are Elusive images. I used Brilliance inbad for the background as it gives it a nice shimmer

Sorry this is a bit blurd, did the same background but used a lovely friendship verse for the main as here theme was also friendship, this is from Simply Stamps. The butterfly is the freebie off this months Craft stamper. I am pleased to say she likes them

new template

Just got this template and I really like it, took me a while as it always does when I try something new. I am slow you know. The little girl is Magnolia as you all will know and the ring she is sat on is a new Marianne die. The butterfly is a Woodware punch which I think it is quite pretty

Above is a close up as you can see I never get anything spot on, how these Folks do I don't know as I can never do anything straight.
Been minding Kids all week so that is why I have not posted, have not had any energy. Thought I had better post tonight as you will all think I have deserted, he he

P Q and R

 Well here we go again, next three pages for the chunky alphabet swap.Above P for poppy one of the new house mouse stamps, just love these little critters

 Q for Queen, the saying is from Stamp camp and as useless as I am forgot who make the the bee, I am sure someone will tell me

Lastly R for Rock and roll and who better to display it than the king himself Elvis. I hope whoever gets them will like them

Just a quicky

 Above a card I made with a new embossing folder I bought, it really is so pretty, it is a Marianne's design and the stamp of the little girls is from Crafty Individual

This was made for a Asian swap I was in, you had to make anything but a card, so I made a calender with one of my most favourite stamps from Acey Jucey. The roses I made, I am enjoying making these, they get quite addictive, anyway hope you like them

50 years

Above is a card I made for a friend for her 50th wedding Anniversary, not a bit of stamping on it but did make the roses and am pleased to say she liked it. What a achievement 50 years isn't it lovely

Above are my ATC's I have done for my KC swap, theme was pink and brown, for once I was quite pleased with how they turned out.

Have not been around for a few days as my modem has been playing up, going on and off all the time, driving me mad it is like having your hand cut off. Amazing how we get used to our PC's and feel so isolated when they are not working, sad or what. Anyhow am glad to be back

Alex's card

Well this one is for my Great Nephew, he is 12 in a few days. I find the boys get harder to make for as they get older. He is a football freak but I do that every time and am sick of making football cards, so come up with this instead, see Tim's houses at the bottom, think these are great as you can use them for all sorts.
Hope he likes it

A little bit of fantasy

 The card above I have made for a friends birthday, the little girls are from Crafty individuals and the punch of coarse is from Martha Stewart love these punches, the background on the tag is stamped with a lace stamp I have, cannot remember were I bought it but do love it and it stamps lovely

The above card is not stamped ( I wish I was that clever) it is a image of the new cd from Joanne Sheene, isn't it a fabulous image, in fact all the images are gorgeous. The lady that did paint them originally is one very clever person, wish I was half as talented, just wanted to show it as I love it

Alphabet chunky pages

 Well here is my latest efforts for this swap, talk about brain dead,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it took me ages to think of things to do, then when I finished them thought of all sorts typical. Above we have J for Jester, the K was going to be for Kids, then this little saying popped out at me which I thought fitted pretty well, K for Keep life simple. Lastly L for Llama, well what do you expect from me

M for Marylin, of coarse N fo Nostalgia and O for Osterich, these animal stamps come in handy when you are stuck. So we have a right mucky mixture here. Something for everyone I hope

ATC swap

These 3 ATC's where for a swap I was in, where they don't have to be stamped. So 2 aren't and one is. Love this stamp of Lucy and thought the saying went very well with it. The top one is done with a image off Joanna Sheenes new CD it has some of the most gorgeous images on if you like fantasy, which I do. Know it isn't stamping but now and again I like to have a change. The other image is off a collage sheet, can't remember where I got it, what's new. My brain is totally addled

James card

Well am sick of being serious, so made this for my Daughters Partner James. It is his birthday today. The llama has gone to wish him Happy Birthday. I think it is a Viva stamp I coloured him with my pro markers, mind there was not a lot to colour. The fence was just a piece of card I had and I just cut the notches out of the top to make it look like planks. The happy birthday is a sissix die. I don't know about you but I find men's cards hard to do sometimes. Saying that I have found loads hard to do lately, don't know how many things I have stamped then put them to one side as can't think of anything to do with them. I must try and get myself bucked up. Have just finished my chunky book pages for a swap I am in and what a struggle. Am keeping them for another post

Hello

Made this card for a friend, I can't tell you who makes the stamp as a friend let me stamp some when I was visiting her sorry punch at the bottom is Mather Stewart's, which I think everyone loves and as Helen says paper from my stash

A little bird told me

Well had a bit play with my birdcage and this is what I come up with, coloured the cage with gold dabber then stamped over it with words. The birds I coloured with distress inks then stamped over them with the same word stamp, that is the birthday definition stamp, like what you see in a dictionary, seeing it is a birthday card thought that would go. The background have used a embossing folder then rubbed over with a black ink pad, made the rose and punched the border with my new Mather Stewart Punch. Thanks to a dear friend for buying me it. I worked hard on this one so hope who it is for will like it

Finally

I have actually made a card, sorry have not been around much lately but have felt not so good, rotten reaction from flu jab.
Anyway this is not stamped except for the greeting, I printed this on canvas, which really does not show on this picture. Had to use this as it reminds me of my Nan, as have a photo of her dressed similar, might even be on my blog somewhere, anyhow some more of my salvaged ribbon and a little bit of vintage lace which I bought years ago at a jumble sale and I just love it. Had to stick a bit of sparkle on ( the scroll) don't know if I like it or not but there you go

Calenda with a difference

Well was going to make this a card, then thought it would make an unusual calender, so that is what it has become. It is stamped on leather again and was quite impressed the way it stamped. Got a nice clear image, just hope it stays on the leather, well at least for the year. Time will tell

A little experiment

Not a brill picture sorry, as too late for my camera so had to scan, just been experimenting stamping on leather, never done it before so don't know if I have done it right or not. Have stamped something else which I like better but not finished it yet and my bed is calling , so will have to wait till tomorrow. Anyhow the main stamp is from I brake for stamps and I believe he is a spirit man, looks like a crow or maybe a Eagle not sure but I liked it, something different, the border at the bottom is the leather and have stitched some beads on. Enough rambling will leave it there and hope some of you like it

Little boy again

Well here he is again could not resist another one. Don't you just love this lace, would you believe it was wrapped round a box of biscuits, what a waste. I certainly will recycle it, it is gorgeous. The frame or shrine whatever it is I got off Stamp camp and just took my fancy, first time I have used it. I covered it with thick copper embossing powder a few times and liked the effect. Just makes it a bit different
