Happy Birthday June

Sorry not back with Warren rabbit yet! although he is on the way... I thought I would show you the card I made for my mate Junie Moon the other week. The flower and leaves are all made out of one EK sucsess punch with all the shapes on, with a bit of shaping you get a nice simple flower, not as fiddly as the usual floral punch craft. Of course I had to make it in purple her favorite colour. The paper was from Doodlebug and I used a Martha Stewart border punch down the side.

I can not believe we are half way through March and my how the weather has changed, it's so cold again but at least the sun is out. One blink and the weekend has gone again already, please can we have another day! wouldn't it be lovely. Oh well back to work tomorrow to earn some more pennies to pay for some more lovely craft goodies. Have a lovely week x

Sweet Strawberry

I wanted to make a card with a strawberry theme, so I had doodlebug strawberry paper Magnolia strawberry stamp with little Tilda perched on top, I just had to add a butterfly and some stickles. Coloured with Copics.

What a fab day I had yesterday, I made a last minute hasty decision and went to the Make it show at Farnborough. Thanks for a lovely day Fiz. Well the roads were clear and made it in record time, apart from the rain! Parked straight away right outside with no queuing and had a brill time and spent far too much. Just wait till you see little Warren Craftwork cards new bunny release, I just fell in love with him and what the wonderful Julie Hickey had done with him, such a clever lady. Also as usual the lovely Jackie was bringing to life the little Lili of the valley characters. Oh and had to bet a buggy ride back to the car with all the shopping....... As it is nice and bright today I must fly and make the most of it and do some colouring. Take care and happy crafting.

Pretty Fairy

I just finished this card for one of my work colleagues and decided to enter it for the Lili of the valley  challenge week 84 - my favorite colours I am very fond of these fairy die cuts, even tho I do feel its cheating a tad!
I used a Cuttlebug alphabet for the lettering and a ex success daisy punch with some craftcreation sparkly dots in the centre of the flowers.

I had a fantastic day at Chickenshack yesterday and it brightened my day to see all my lovely crafting buddies. It just went too quick and as usual did not get much achieved. But came home with some lovely inspirational ideas which I will be posting soon, I hope. Hope you all have a fab week and happy crafting xx

I am still here sorry!

Oh dear I can not believe we are in Feb already, where is this year going and the weeks are just flying by. I have been making quite a few birthday cards but just not got round to adding then to my blog but I promise I will. Oh great the cat has just come in an climbed over me in my white top with muddy paw prints, more washing. Why oh why cant they learn to wipe their paws when they come in.... Oh and while im on the cat Daisy in particular this time do you have to bring a mouse in and loose it, yes I now live with two cats and a mouse. I just hope they find it soon. Any way on to my cards, I do love this little lilli of the valley chap for a mans card, I have also coloured one it in sepia tones which I will show later.

Oh and a special Birthday as one of the girls in the office has reached her half a century and deserved a special card so out came the roses again. I love making these and they are so effective.

I wish the rain would go away and we could have some of the lovely sunshine back we had earlier in the week!  it does make us all feel so much better. Happy blogging xx

Happy New Year!

Hi to all in Blogland and any other viewers, phew I just made it. I wanted to make a special card to wish all people who view my blog a very happy 2011. I have been working hard today to get this finished for you, but due to the light or should I say no light I have been struggling. Please hurry up summer and the light evenings, it makes colouring and card making so much easier.

This is one of my new Whiff of Joy stamps and I thought was very appropriate as she is toasting you all a very happy 2011. Thank you for the lovely comments and support through the year. I will try harder to be a better blogger in 2011. Love to you all.

A few Chrissie cards before it's too late

Hi all hope you are all braving this cold weather and horrible white stuff! Anyway thought I had better post a few chrissie cards on my blog. The stamp used on the first two cards was from  the Jane Gill Woodware set.

This is such fun to make these cards adding all sorts of bling and buttons, the paper strip used was craftwork cards, thanks for the idea Clarissa. 

Another one using the same stamp, made for a colleague at work. 

And the last I think is my favorite although the picture does not do it any justice at all. Penny Black stamp, sorry can not remember who the papers are from. Another idea stolen from the extremely clever Debby please do pop over and look at her blog it is stunning.
Wrap up warm and keep away from all those horrid germs out there. Bye for now xx
