Good Morning everyone on this lovely sunny day. I hope it stays like this over the weekend.
Today I  have a Birthday card for my grandson, he will be 11 in July. I took the photo on my recent  visit in December/January. He wanted to show Grandma the tricks he can do with his scooter. I was very impressed.


The card is a white scallop edged 8 x 8 card, layered with purple and green papers. I made the backing paper using Craft Artist , I  used an image of his scooter which is purple .

I am always being asked for different types of cards so I have decided to add some to my stash so that they are ready just to finish off.. I have added an insert to this one, as an example but others are left open so that people can choose their own verse and sentiment.
 This is an embroidered Cross,which I think looks quite nice, in silver with the very light blue swirl. Simple but effective.



Sorry there is a shadow across the card, it is from my camera and is not on the actual card. At the moment I cannot find out what is causing the problem. 



This is another Baby Card I made a while ago, for a baby girl, again using the Spellbinders dies to make the card. I coloured the image with Promarkers,added the ribbon and flowers which were coloured with promarkers.

Baby girl Card




This is an embroidered butterfly card, using the prick and stitch method. This is my first attempt at doing this.
I used a 6" x 6" scalloped card, with printed background paper and layered the butterfly  onto gold card stock. The lace and ribbon are from my stash., I added the corner embellishments to finish the card.

I have left the card open, so that I can add a sentiment later.
Good afternoon everyone, it is a horrible dull damp rainy day today.It will soon be spring, I do have snowdrops and the miniature daffodils out in the garden. Today I have a Circular Baby easel card, that I made a while ago but never got round to uploading on here. 
I have made the card using Spellbinders Nestabilities Petite Scalloped Circles Large. I used the largest circle to make the folded  card ,  and cut another circle for the topper, blue footprint paper was used to layer the card, together with the topper.

ribbon and flowers. The plain white flowers where coloured with a promarker pen to match the card., and embellished with pearls.

Easter Card.
 The backing paper I have used for this card is by Maja Designs. I have distressed the edges added  Spellbinders from  the Floral Ovals set. 


I have used some burlap across the card and added a small cross charm. The daffodils are from my stash.

Good Morning everyone, I have now settled down to crafting again after my long holiday in Australia, which I really enjoyed. I was spoilt during my stay with my daughter and her family,. It was fun to see my grandsons again. Temperatures reached 106 deg  some days. 
With this card I used the Jus-Cutz die Deco Edge Decorative shapes No.1., and the Memory Box Poppy Die , and Pippi Butterfly Die. 

I glittered the embellishments and added Pearls.
