Birthday card

My Son asked me to make something different for his girl friend, I hope he likes this as no time to do another, hope I haven't gone over the top, not my normal style. Saying that I don't know if I have a style as I like so many different things.

Birthday card

Have just made this for a friend for her birthday, I am sorry the photo is not brill but I am chuft at how it has turned out. Saw this layout in a book so have messed about till I got it right. Not my usual thing but thought it would make a change

More deco pages

This time for Nora, her theme is music, so this is what I came up with,

Deco pages for jack

Her theme was the sea, so this is what I come up with, the fist memaid is from I brakefor stamps again but unforunatley I don't know who's the other one is as it was a gift.

Another Indian

Just got this stamp from I brake for stamps, I love these Indian stamps that have more than one image on. If you look there are 2 other faces on there, some have a eagle too. If you notice I have used some more of my bargain hand made paper as a background. Will upload some more when i have finished them, hope you like it

Indian girl with buffelo

Now you know I am not brill at telling a tale, so will briefly tell you why I did this card. Being a true crafter like most of us love a bargain and sent off for a lucky dip box of goodies. In the box was loads of hand made paper, so I am gonna have to try to use some of it. The red background on this card is made from it. I think a lot of the colours will come in for this type of card as it is nice and bright, and I am in a bright mood at the moment, trying to cheer up the weather, not long for summer I hope

Kayscorner fun swap

Every year we have one of these we send something out and you have to make something with it and send it to your assigned partner. This year we got the brass name plate and this is what I did with mine. I altered this little book

African card

I love African and was just trying to use some images I had already stamped, up to now this is as far as I have got One...........

Ayhow it is a stampfransisco ( can't spell it) stamp. I like to do African in nice bright colours

double slider card

Well have had a play today, must admit it is still not easy. My op on my eye went well and sight has improved but they won't sort my glasses out yet, so needless to say still not easy.

Any how seen this today on utube, done by a lady called Dawn, think she workd for Stamping up. My version is different to hers needless to say but the principle is the same. It is a double slider card using a piece of a plastic bag as the slider, unfortunatley my plastic bag did not work so good, so will have to try again, but was glad I managed to put it together as I struggle when trying something for the first time

My second deco page for my deco

This is another page for my deco, know i have used this stamp on an ATC but I do like it, so thought I would do my second deco page with it

birthday card

Deco swap I am in

I am in a deco swap on Katyscorner and this is my first page and my cover. The stamps I used are from Oxford impressions, they are a lovely sheet of stamps, as you might of gathered the theme is birds

Playing with new stamps

Getting a real liking for bird stamps, don't know why. Anyhow just got these, so have been playing, they are from Oxford Impressions. They are a USA company but I managed to get them from LB Crafts so was really pleased. So this is my first card I have made with them

Hubbys birthday card

Well it is that time of year again, so thought you might like to see the card I have made Hubby. He keeps pigeons so thought I would include them in his card this year, so to speak. I love making him funny cards and I think he likes getting them

ATC swap on Katyscorner

This is our latest ATC swap, must admit I found this quite hard as getting the folding straight is does not come easy for me. In fact me and straight don't go at all. Anyway this is how they ended up. Love the little bird stamp, I am getting a liking for birds at the moment

Layout challenge

Just made this for a challenge, I do like black and white always looks nice I think. The stamp is Acey Jucey but I think Stampingup now do them

Great nieces birthday card

Don't you ever get stuck wondering what to make. Well I am hoping my great niece likes this, I know I have not repeated as just got these stamps

Sort of recycling

Made this card from a Manilla divider card I picked up out the bargin box in Staples, love working with Manilla, used Adirondak pads with a bit of cut and dry, like using this to apply the colour, then stamped with Stazon and over stamped with Brilliance Perlescent bage. The stamps I used are Paperartsy, the line one is Tim Holtz

Been recycling again, the top left corner is the waste after cutting the flourish out on my big shot, just seemed a shame to waste it as it looks as good as the flourish I cut out. So as they say waste not want not

Been recycling again

I was cutting some tags out the other day on my big shot, looked at the scrap left off the tarten card and thought it would make a nice frame for my image, So this is how it turned out. I hate wasting card and if I can find a way of using the scrap I will. Don't think it looks to bad
