Last cards of 2008!!!!! Cute card Thursday

This is the card I made with my first House mouse stamp,really love the image Amanda is so sweet. Image just layered on to HOTP backing papers & whispers greeting stamped on. I love am pleased with this stamp the image is lovely & crisp!!! I thought it would be good for the anything goes "Cute card Thursday challenge".

I made this card for a friend who had a little Boy earlier this week. PB image stamped & coloured with watercolour pencils & whispers, mounted on to handmade paper. Printed greeting overlayed with vellum for a more subtle effect. I really enjoy making new baby cards,especially as you know they will be kept and treasured.

Happy New Years to those of you who are celebrating. I have to work tonight but I will be glad of the extra money come payday lol!!!!

Wishing you all the best for 2009!!!!!!

Treat day!!!

This card has been made with floral Die-cut which I have sanded,mounted on to CB embossed square,and then button stamped background & embellishment.

CB embossed card, stamped image by PB & coloured with liquid pearls. Die-cut flowers with beads for a bit of bling!

I have had a great day so far. This morning I had a wonderful card From Nessy to open, it was so gorgeous I have put it on my kitchen window sill to inspire me when I do the washing up!!!!

I then walked into town to get the food shop, I made the mistake of going in the craft shop!!!!

I couldn't resist a house mouse stamp to start off my collection,so hopefully I will have time to play with that later.

My resolution for 2009 is to try and diversify my cards, I have been doing to many cutsey ones recently. So here are the floral cards I made last night.

Enjoy your day

Below are a couple more cards I did at the weekend for my Christmas cards for Family & Friends!!!!

PB Saturday Challenge card & others

The above card is my entry for this weeks Pb Saturday Challenge, which is "Funky Christmas". I decided to combine pink & black with the PB stamp "Fido's Christmas. I would never normally use these colours for Christmas cards!

These are a couple more I have done for the Family card box!!!! I am gonna have a break from Christmas cards this evening & will enjoy watching the K & Co shows I have recorded on QVC!

Have a fab day!

Crafty Weekend!

Hello,

Just updating blogs with a few cards I made yesterday. The Birthday card is for Zack's best friend who is two on Wednesday!, they seem to be growing up so quick!!!!!!!! I don't use this stamp very much so I just hope the water colouring is OK!

I have also made 6 more Christmas cards, I am especially pleased with little Gem & the robin!!!!

I brought the tiny bow craft Punch from the £1 shop on Friday, so that's why I've got little bows everywhere!!!

I am off to a local craft fayre after lunch & then Mum will be coming round later to help me make my first "Nappy cake". I will let you now how I get on, and post some piccies if its any good!!!!

Hope you are having a great weekend, I will look forward to catching up with your blogs when I have some time tomorrow.

Cute card Thurday Challenge-Snow Family

Managed to complete three of these Snow Family cards this afternoon. I really enjoy using this stamp from Spiral Whisper & of course my CB Snowflake folder is perfect with this image. I am really enjoying making my cards in batches, at last I am making progress!!!!!

This is the first batch of my own Christmas cards. It seems to be a lot quicker making them in batches. I made 5 of these in about 90 minutes, so a lot quicker than normal. I am also really pleased with the result. Its funny how sometimes you can be happy with something you spend 20 minutes on and yet you can spend hours on some cards & they never feel quite perfect!!!!!

This is the first of the personalised diary's I am making for friends gifts this year, I hope they like them. I enjoyed making something other than a card!!!!
