Been busy

Hello, I know it's been a while but I have been busy ... anyway here are but a few of the cards I've been making ... I do enjoy it.

Happy Days!

Playing with my Tilda stamps

I'm having fun with these ... Here's some I've done over the last couple of days.

Happy Days!

~~** Like Mother like Daughter**~~

Ahh! I'm so happy today .. I bought some watercolour pencils for my two, they've wanted some for a while. Anyway my little pink one, who's nine, came home from school and wanted to sit down with me and do some painting. Well, she's off to a friends party this weekend so I suggested she make Emily the card while copying what I'm doing ... we had a great time and we're both well happy with the results .. Love it!

Happy Days!

Happy 60th Mum

Here's a card I've created for a friend and neighbour. She wanted a card for her Mum who's going to be 60. She asked for flowers on the front, so I put together a little bunch, tied with some nice organza ribbon, painted a watercolour background to suit. Placed it on this funny see through film stuff, tore out some brown paper and stuck it on that. I added the flat backed pearly dots and edged the note tag with gold and brown. Hope she likes it.

Happy Summer!

Thank you everyone at school

Here are some cards done for my son's school... It's his last few days at middle school, my how time flies. So it's cards for all the staff, headmistress and the lovely ladies in the school kitchen, I love the rolling pin on that one. The chocolates look good enough to eat. The Lady from the school office loves choccies! I made the little blackboard with black card and some matches





. Happy summer! Here we come!

****** Make a wish *******

I'm really pleased with this card. We all really like teeny weeny things in our house and I found this tiny little bottle. I filled it up with glitter and put in on torn mulberry paper. I then dotted the glitter around the card and used my tiny pink stars too. It's for my ex niece who's 11 today. My children are going with their Father and his wife to visit my ex in-laws this bank holiday weekend because, actually, there are three generations all born on the same day .. my ex father in law, his son and his granddaughter all born on may 22nd .. how clever is that!!!

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend!

Baby Hannah

Ahhhh! A close family friend has just had her first child, a baby girl called Hannah ... I know Suzie's still a bit wobbly after losing a lot of blood but she's getting there.. so lots of love to you, and your new family.
This Picture is on torn mulberry paper, mounted on cream card with little cherub's punched out. I placed foam squares at the top end and stuck the bottom onto the mulberry paper to give it a bit of a tilt. There's a bit of pink ribbon saying it's a girl top and tailed by pink/ crystal glitter, all finished off by a pink ribbon on the top.

Happy Days

Sunny flowers

Hello on this lovely sunny day ... here's a card I've just finished in time to take with us tonight when we go out with the In-laws. It's Hubby's Great Aunt's 90th Birthday and I was asked to make a card for her. It couldn't be too heavy as it's going to Canada and needs to travel well! I did the background design on Publisher then added the paper flowers after.

Happy Days!

Beautiful lady

This card has been made for a friend of mine using a silhouette of a lady from the Lakeland shop, (used to be Lakeland plastics a few years ago.) I mounted her onto the card, which had vellum in the aperture, then painted the head dress with Twinkles H2o (I think that's their name!). This gave a nice effect, I think. The banner at the bottom is from my Sissex machine. I hope everyone had a good Easter, here it flew by!

Happy Days!

Cherub in the wind

This card I like because the cherub swings about. Once again I've used a watercolour washed back ground, sewn on some mini beads and loose pearls and added a hanging drop at the bottom. I love the way this card looks and feels. I'm very happy with this one.
