I've done it

Yes I have made some xmas cards...........Grand total of 2..........thank you to all those that gave me the kick I needed. lol I have also made a couple of birthday cards as well.


used the famous cuttlebug, then painted holy leaves with H2o's, layering onto green mirror card, coloured peel off green.........don't use many peel offs these day, but have so many Christmas ones.


Cuttlebugs been working again, after embossing this I coloured some of the dots Red, cut it into four pieces layering onto red card and then arranged onto a A5 white card, adding a bow down side and again colouring a Christmas peel off red. may just have to make a few more similar to this one.


Below are a couple of birthday cards I have made too. the husband card I used GCF as I needed this in a hurry.........no not for my hubby, a friends.



so there you go, now for something else.

black, red n white

Mother in law asked me to make a wedding card needed for the 8th. it had to be black , red n white as that is the colour theme.
So I used the swiss dots folder and my celebrations board by the glitters girls.
what do you think

Been Playing

I haven't done any blogging in a while now and thought it was time to give it a new look. wondering how people got different designs. So I spoke to a dear friend and she told me what I had to do.

I have been busy making cards for 60th birthdays, the person recieving these cards are my mother in law and her twin sister.

This card is for my hubbys aunt from us,

this one for hubbys mum from us

this is for mother in law to give to twin sister

this for from twin sister to mother in law

and finally I made this one for father in law to give to mother law. used greeting card factory to make this one.I decoupaged the rose heads and added some stickles to give alittle sparkle.


that is now all 60th cards made, next are cards for hubbys 40th birthday.

Thanks for taking the time in having a gander

sorry not blogging much

I am not doing a good job at the moment with my blog. I am still upside down here. My kitchen still isn't finished and it will be 4 weeks on wednesday. Its driving us all mad now. its just been problem after problem. just pleased it isn't us paying for it.
I am missing making cards something rotten. I can see they are getting there and its just silly things that need sorting. we are also battling with the company to replace our flooring which they should have protected, now they are saying that there was marks in it before the started. yes there was 2 small ones that you wouldn't no were there unless we pointed them out. now there are big marks. so the fight will continue, even if we have to go to the papers about them.
so until I get my kitchen back and the rest of my house cleaned and straight again, I will have no new cards to show off.Hopefully not to long.
TTFN
