Craft Class 17-8-11

This has been made with Tim Holtz distressing inks and a stamp. I love the colours, they make it so much more interesting that a block of colour. There are glitter dots in the trees but you cant really tell in the photos.

there is faux stitching around the edge, one of my favourite techniques :)
Another proud creation :D xxx

Thank you :)

I havent figured out if I can personally thank everyone who has left me such lovely comments so I will say it here. It really makes my day when I get a nice comment about my cards. It gives me a real confidence boost, especially as you are all so talented, I love that you love my cards :)

Well thats my love shared for the day :D xxx

Monday Evening

I made this card tonight, I love VW campers, I have one we are doing up, so thought this was a nice paper to use.

If anyone is on facebook check out my new page The Craft Room. I am enjoying blogging and crafting so much I wanted my facebook friends to get involved. Hope you like it :)

Why are men so difficult!!!

I find cute girly cards so easy to do, they don't take much time to come up with the design. Now men on the other hand are a different story.

If you don't know them you cant use a hobby so you are a bit stuck.

I have made this birthday card for someone who likes bikes. I used straight clean lines and bold colours.

I hope you like it!

Monday Morning :(

After such a lovely weekend I was dissapointed that Monday has arrived so quickly. I was quickly cheered up this morning though when I read all of the lovely comments from everyone. Thank you everyone so much :)

One thing that made my day was getting a mention in this blog
http://maryjdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/08/make-it-monday-sponsored-by-cupcake.html

I was so chuffed when I read it.

Right....Im off to look at today's challenges :)

Lovely weekend

I decided that this weekend was to be a relaxing one, I really wanted to just do some crafting and nothing else. It was bliss. Im really chuffed with what I achieved.



This is using the me to you goody bag and the layout is from the do craft mag. The bear is a stamp that has been coloured using pencils and metallic pens. I am really enjoying stamping, it gives me a sense of pride when it goes right :)

I am not sure what my next card will be, I havent got any orders at the moment so I will probably look at the challenges this week and do something to enter into them.

I have subscribed to a couple of magazines (quick cards and papercraft) so I will have lots of ideas to come.

Challenge addiction

I only found out how to do the challenges today but I love it. It gives me a reason to keep making cards even when I have no orders!

I used the DoCraft goody bag for this one
