Birthday Boy

Our gorgeous Grandson Cameron is 13 at the end of May (I know, I don't look old enough lol) and instead of a card I thought I would make him a small canvas. It has references to him, he collects monopoly (no actual Monopolies were hurt in the making of this canvas), trains, lego and cars and has more forms of wheeled transport than anyone I know lol.
I hope he will like it and keep it to show his kids. I really enjoyed making it, it is my first canvas and I think there will be many more lol.

50th Birthday Card

I made this one for a 50th birthday. Is it a bit over the top? I do love the flowers I got from Wild Orchid Crafts (as you can probably tell :) ). The paper is Tim Holtz and the Black lettering and heart/leaves I cut with my Craft Robo/Sillouette. The butterflies are 3d stickers.



Tattoo Card

I made this one for a crafting friend, Liz, I know she likes Tattoos and I found this really pretty bird and blossom design online, added some flowers and digital paper from Pink Petticoat.
I hope Liz liked it.

Mens Cards !!

It is so difficult to do mens cards. Had to do one for someone at Mike's work. I used Papermania stamps paper from Tim Holtz and my stash and my new spellbinders Sprightly Sprocket dies (sorry Sue got them online :) )
I was quite pleased with the result. Hope you like it.

Summer Sun

Yellow, not my favourite colour and this card lay around half finished for ages, just couldn't think what to do with it. Went in to Crafty Bunch and Sue and I were talking about me using some of the stuff I keep buying lol so I cwent home and did just that!
Hope you like it. Would love to know either way :)

News and Cards

Well I've done it!! I have opened a shop on Folksy.com. I am hoping that maybe someone will like my cards enough to pay hard cash for them. They will probably lanquish in the ether for ever lost lol but you never know someone might be mad enough to buy one :)

I've made a few new cards as well and sure enough here they are. The Blue curled corner one was made with Pink Petticoat digital papers, a scrumptious bit of red ribbon, a little image of a child and dog at the seaside from my stash and a little Joy Craft die cut frame. The next one is a little victorian in feel I think I used Linen effect papers another little image tag and a Martha Stewart punch. The red one was made for Sue at The Crafty Bunch for her birthday (21 again I beleive lol) Thank you for all your help and encouragement Sue. I used you guessed it Pink Petticoat papers and a Lili of the Valley stampcoloured with Pro Markers.
