Snowman

I'm sure there must be a name for the type of fold that is used for this card but I'm blowed if I can remember it! Makes him stand up beautifully anyhow.

More Patchwork Pals

I just love the way you get the rear of the image too in this kit. When you open the card you see the couple peering out! SOoooo cute :O)

Patchwork Pals

I love these characters. Another Christmas kit from QVC, these are sooooo cute. This little man really slides down the hill on his toboggan as you pull the tab at the side. Such gorgeous colours and papers too. More to come!

More Christmas

More from the Kanban kit.

Just to make sure I have a record of most of the things I make I have added these pictures. They are from a Kanban kit from QVC. Simple and straightforward to make but some nice large cards which makes a change.

A YEAR!!!!

Oh my goodness! I knew I hadn't been keeping this up to date very well but I really didn't think it had been a whole year!
Note to self - Must try harder!

and more!

I went to town on these ones. All fluffy and romantic ! lol

And yet more!!

More Valentines

Here are some moe Valentines. I seem to have gone a bit bear crazy! Cute though huh?

As before the bears images are 3D decoupage. The first card is a bright pick DL size with a holographic mat and stripy paper that was a freebie with a magazine. The other two cards are made from handmade paper, the mats are both mirri card, one silver and one red. Finished off with pink fibres down the spine.

Valentines

Whatever happened to January ?!!! I can't believe it's nearly gone already.
I've had a few days off work this week so to keep myself occupied I began making some cards for Valentines Day. These 3 are weeny cards, only 2 1/2 by 4 inches but really cute all the same I think. The teddy bear images are 3d decoupage matted on grey card and then onto some card from a DCWV paper stack. I'm sorry about the quality of the photos, time to upgrade my camera I think.

Back to Birthdays

Christmas is over! and I now have some table back and a little bit of time as it is the school holidays so back to birthday cards. I rediscovered this QVC kit when i was clearing the table for Christmas dinner. The hedgehog images are stamps from the Penny Black range which I watercoloured, the shopper is a Jolly Nation image.. They were matted onto holographic card and coordinating papers. The butterfly card is finished off with some matching peel-offs and vellum attached with gem brads.

And now for something a little different!

Not papercrafting this time but painting all the same. A visit to a ceramics cafe and this was the result - what do you think ?

Christmas Cards

I didnt have time to make many Christmas cards this year but here are some of the ones I did manage.

Christmas Tags

I had originally intended these tags as part of a swap on CSF but events rather overtook me and I only got 4 made instead of the 20 I needed :( They didn't go to waste, I used them and only just remembered to snap them halfway through attaching them to presents !! lol
The Snowman image is from Stampin Up, stamped onto white card and matted onto silver mirri and blue card. I watercoloured the images and added just a tad of glitter !

What no Bloggin!!

How remiss of me, still no bloggin for over a month now!
I have some pictures of Christmas cards to add so will do that over the weekend hopefully.
I have been so caught up with school just lately, I videoed ( how do u spell that word ?) the Nativity in the gazebo on the school playing field and edited it with music and effects for the Christmas Concert. It went down really well yesterday with the parents, one more performance today, hope the technology holds out for me!
Tomorrow is our Christmas "Do" at the Runnymede hotel so I'm sure I will have some photos to add from that too.

Blogoversary!!!!
