A Catch Up & A Few Cards..

What a hectic few days I have had...meetings with work, designing cards for the makinghandmadecards website, my Pollycraft DT card etc...

and I am now ready to fall over!!!!

Totally pooped...

so today I have had a day of rest and spent most of it on the sofa watching telly.

In between everything else I have made a baby card for our friends...Scarlett arrived last week

Also a couple of quick makes with the Forever Friends papers.

Right back to the sofa for me to watch a bit of telly and

do some blog hopping on the laptop.

Card Made For Linda....

I made this card a few days ago for Linda from Linanna Designs....

I know she has received it so I am safe to show you.

If you know Linda you will know that she spends a lot of time in the bath...

I just couldn't resist making her a card when I saw this image.

This Is What I Have Been Up To....

When I first started card making I signed up to a website

www.makinghandmadecards.com

where you can download free papers, get loads of hints and tips plus samples of card ideas and 'how to' video's.

Over time I have become e-mail friends with Claire who designs and runs the site....very shortly Claire is launching a shop where you can purchase more of her fantastic designs.

These are examples of what I have made from the new kits Claire has been working on....pop over to the site, have a look and sign up to the newsletter...you will then be informed of the launch

The kits are absolutely fantastic....

A Couple Of Special Order Cards & A Funky Christmas Card

This morning I have been working on some special order cards and also have finished another funky christmas card...

These two cards were ordered by a friend...

this one is for her niece, she LOVES Barney

This one is for her Father In Law who likes opera singing and Pavarotti.

His nickname is Dotty...so came up with Pavadotty which I have put on the bottom!!

More 'Tis The Season' Christmas Cards...

Good morning, hope you all had a good weekend...blimey its been cold.

We went out on Saturday night to a Halloween party and it was also a couple of friends birthdays (twins)...I drunk a little too much and ended up feeling very poorly yesterday.

I am meant to avoid alcohol!!!!

I did manage to make a few cards later in the day...I have continued to use the Pink Petticoat download....I love this kit!!!

I tend to flit from one project to another so I am trying sooo hard to make a batch of cards.

Flowers Prima and from Poppicrafts

Ribbon, brads, gems and charm from my stash
