Kate & Andy's Wedding Card



I made this for my daughter Kate's wedding . It is an easel card and i used papers from my stash, some gorgeous pale teal glittered roses, chocolate and teal ribbon and i painted some smaller flowers with copper cosmic shimmer paint. It all matched in with her colour scheme and on the back was a beautiful poem that I
found on the internet. I really enjoyed making this one, although it did take me a while to get it so that i was happy with it.

Teal Blonde




Anothe Sliejke digi stamp, another Martha Stewart punch and a paper from the oriental Papermania range.

Boy with Rose


Isn't he cute!. Another beautiful image from Sliekje. I hope I have done it justice. The papers were from my stash and the sentiment just printed out and cut at a jaunty angle. The border was done using a Martha Stewart punch.

Pink Whistling Girl



Hi and a Happy New Year to you all.

This easel card I made using papers from a Free stack of paper from a magazine, I forget which one and the image is a digi stamp fromSliekje's Digi Stamps (on Blogspot) all the beautiful images there are free! I coloured it with Promarkers, I think I am getting somewhere with them now. Hair is still giving me a bit of trouble but practice makes perfect so i will keep going.

DH's 6Oth Birthday Card


This is the card I made for my husband's birthday this year. The papers and print are from a Joanna Sheen CD and i printed the image on to printable canvas. We are both very found of all things oriental.

Christmas 2010




This year I thought I would do something a little different and made decorated candles and notepads instead of cards. The papers I used were all from craft magazines.
The notepads i made using chipbord covers and my zutter bind it al. The papers for this batch are Dovecraft from their new oriental range. My DH cut the chipboard and the inner pages and I cut the cover papers on my craft robo. Stuck the covers to the chipboard with my xyron creative station (it's about time i used it for something lol).

This is the inside of Helen's wedding card. The swirl panels on the card were designed and cut by me on the craft robo and were the inspiration for the embroidery on her dress (not done by me I hasten to add, that was the dress maker) and the cake (again not my work, but that of a VERY talented friend)
Didn't she look amazing :) :)
