Friends - DCM text challenge


The challenge was to use text in your card, and I used a printed sentiment that I received in a card kit, which I colour tinted with chalk, a silver inkpad, and a purple gelpen. I stuck three buttons on the front, and two lines of ribbon at the back.

CPS 20 - Happy Christmas??


Good god, I've started already. The folding technique came from Do Crafts Magazine, and the template came from Card Positioning Systems. http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/

Funky Flower


Another card of mine. I made this one for the Card for Cancer campaign, but it never got sent off. It's still being sold for charity though!

Bee Happy..




It's late, I know. I made it on time, just didn't post it! :)


Anyhoo.. This is my entry for the Cartoon challenge from http://www.daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/
I took the idea of the bees from Winnie the Poo and worked with that. Also, I've had that ribbon for ages, and this seemed like a great use for it!

buttons..

a bit of a money saving idea for you..

Buy buttons in bulk from Charity Shops. You never know what you're going to get and they're brilliantly cheap. Of course you do get a LOT of white shirt buttons, but you can always donate them back if you don't use them :)

More Cards!


With not four, but SEVEN different printed papers. (Gingham x 2, house print, polka dot, floral, stripey x 2)

Flirty..


Flirty Birthday Wishes, pink and girly and handbags..
A card I made for my Gran's birthday. The pricking makes a fantastic lace effect.
Probably my favourite ever card that I have made. The colors are gorgeous, and I love the shape of the centre.

One of my first forays into Decoupage.

With Love


This card was inspired by a kit I recieved as a gift. The kit was lovely, but very foolproof, no creativity involved.

I really love this card.. It's based on CPS sketch 5. I'll catch up slowly.

Sorry for the bad photograph! This is a birthday card I made.. what more can I say?
