Heeeellllloooo

So I know I haven't posted in a while, i've just been either too busy or too tired to take photos! I have made some cards, one of which i've given away now so that'll never see the blog but i will try and get all the photos done on Sunday night and get them on here...

See you soon x

Time to show!

Well i finally got around to taking photos of all the things i have to share last night and i thought i would pop on quickly before work and share them with you.

Firstly i was mega lucky this month and i won the UKS September card challenge with my "Perfect Pear" Card! I received a lovely bundle of goodies in the post a few days ago...



How yummy does all that look? I can't wait to find something to do with it!

Now, what next... I had call to make a thank you card for my wonderful stepdad. Didn'y want anything too girly but am rubbish at manly cards so i went with this little trio of owls who were too cute to resist!



This one was done using good ole PSE. A kraft background with the owls layered on top and all printed. Then i isolated one of the three owls and popped him into Robo Master and traced him. Printed, cut, gems, ribbon and done! The owls are from Glitz Design - aren't they lovely!

Next up another christmas card that i've done for the October UKS challenge.



I know you'll be surprised to hear that i've used cosmo crickets jolly by golly on this one along with kraft! The ribbon is Jolly by golly too :)

Last up a card i made as a commission for my mum last night. The recipient is a keen gardner but that's probably fairly obvious!



More kraft, some pink petticoat paper (it's from the big dots range but i tiled the paper to get little dots instead ;) ) ribbon and some mini alphas.... can't remember who they are by but if you wanna know then leave me a comment and i will dig the packet out!!

That's me all caught up! Phew! I've been planning another notelet card holder using the Cosmo Criket Girl friday range - when i saw the images i couldn't think of a better use than sending them to my girlfriends on cards!! So hopefully they should all be made over the weekend so i can share them next week :)

It's been a busy few days...

Busy being back at work, busy at a spa on Friday (lucky me) and then the weekend when i don't tend to do much crafting as i go down to see my other half and can never be bothered packing everything up - and i don't tend to plan things that well!

However, planning was needed this time. My MIL asked me to make a birthday card for this weekend so i planned it on the way back from the spa, printed and cut before leaving home and took what was needed to my other half's with me. And the result?



All the papers, except for the wood effect which is Cosmo Cricket, are printables from Pink Petticoat. The birdie image is traced with the Robo from a set of printables by Katie Hadfield, the tree trunk is again a trace of a printable - this one by Nancy Kubo.

Message inside reads "It's your birthday" and is done in the same style as the writing on the front (i forgot my alphas, d'oh) but not raised as i wasn't sure whether the card would shut properly.

Should be back on track with some xmas cards next week. Have one planned on my desk and waiting to be stuck together so fingers crossed i'll be back here on Monday.

Sorry about the rubbish photo, had to do it on my phone and without my usual huge piece of white card for the background!

No peeking I said!

These were often the words heard in my house when i was a child. I was obsessed with trying to find the presents that mum had hidden and never once suceeded. To this day i have no idea where they were....

So, i couldn't resist using at least one of the "name strips" off the bottom of the Jolly by Golly range and thought it went so well with this nice present bearing lady.





Same old suspects, i think alot of my christmas cards will be the jolly by golly range this year. With some pink petticoat Kraft and Big Dots paper.

Well am finally feeling human again today, have even been to Tesco! So am going to give work a go tomorrow, actually in work rather than doing it from home, so we'll see how that goes!
