New Baby Girl

My cousin has just become the proud daddy to be a little baby girl - Lucy.

I made these 2 cards - one from me and the 2nd one from my mum and dad.

I love this pram stamp. It's from the Fun and Fast Notes Stampin' Up set.



This one is a Magnolia stamp which I've paper pieced.


Mum, my niece and I had a fab time today buying a few ;o) bits for the newest member of our family.

You're the Bestest

I love the name of this Penny Black stamp. This card is for my mum and dad to send to my auntie. She's a lovely lady so this stamp was perfect for her.

I can't remember who the paper is from.

Here's the card that I made for her using my new Magnolia Tilda stamp. I don't like most of the new ones but this one caught my eye so I had to have it LOL



Both cards use Penny Black sentiment stamps. The papers are from the Stampin' Up Certainly Celery and Close to Cocoa Designer collections.

Cute and colourable

Is colourable a word LOL Well, what I mean is that I find the Tilda stamps very easy to colour in when I spend the evening round my parents.





I've just realised that most cards that I've made recently have used Tilda's. Hmmmmm and there was I thinking that I was addicted to Penny Black's !!!

I used sketches from Mojo Monday for both of these cards

Friendship cards

Here are 3 cards that I made for a swap. Unfortunately, 2 of them haven't been received - blooming Royal Mail :o(

Chinese Whispers

LOL funny name for a post but there is a reason for it. This is a card that I made for a Chinese Whispers challenge on a card forum. It ran exactly the same way as the word game in that someone made a card, sent it to the next person on the list who had to interpret in their own way. It was amazing how much the design changed along the way :)

Competition cards

It's been a while since I did a crafty post :o)

Here's 3 cards that I made for a competition. The theme was pink and you got extra points if you used a brad, peel off and vellum.

I couldn't find any vellum (probably gave it to my cousin's daughter)

I'm loving green at the mo

I never used to like green but, just lately, I seem to be making more and more cards with green.

I've just realised that both cards have Cuttlebug embossing on them LOL




I used sketches from Ismaki and My Paper World

More squares

Here's the other 2 cards that I made for the "squares" competition.

Good Friend

It was my very good friend Kerrie's birthday on Saturday and here's the little book that I made for her :o)

Tilda Birthday

A very good friend of mine Kerryn was 30 yesterday and this is the birthday card that I made for her. I was going to do a football card as she's a fellow Spurs fan :o) but I decided against it as I knew that she'd love a Tilda card. Will have to do a Spurs one next year LOL

A couple more cards

Here's 2 cards that I don't think I've shown on here :) They are my 2 main stamp loves at the mo - Tilda and Penny Black (of course LOL)

Oooh I've just noticed that both of them are pink and green - I do love that colour combo :)

Neighbours

My parents next door neighbour is a lovely lady. She still calls me "the little girl next door", even though I now tower over her and I moved out of my parents house nearly 8 years ago LOL

It's her 78th birthday tomorrow so I've made these 2 cards. The Tilda one is from me and the Papernation rambler is from my mum and dad. It was the first time that I've used my new Spellbinders Nestabilties dies and they're fab. The embossing is so effective.

Secret Sister

I've been taking part in a secret sister swap since June where every month we send a card anonymously (sp?) to the same person. As my "sister" now knows who I am LOL, I think it's okay to show the cards I sent.

I tried to change my card making style so she wouldn't guess it was me and I think it worked LOL

This froggy one went missing in the post - blooming Royal Mail!!!
