Competition cards

Here are the 3 cards that I entered into a competition on a crafty forum. The theme was "anything goes" which was a great relief as I really had had enough of Christmas LOL

And this card came joint 3rd - yippee!

I was going to say that I was shocked that I hadn't used any Stampin Up products on any of the cards but ...... I've just realised that the card stock that I used for matting/layering and the ribbon were --- Stampin Up LOL

ITunes voucher holder

This was a last minute make on Christmas Eve. My parents bought my nephew an Itunes voucher and I decided - at the last minute - that they couldn't give it to him in just an envelope.




Patterned Paper: Bo Bunny
Card Stock: Stampin Up Real Red
Sentiment stamp: Stampin Up

Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I posted but we had loads of snow before Christmas/New Year and then had loads more last week. So I could get to work, as I don't drive in the snow, I stayed over at my parents and walked the mile to work every day. This has meant that I haven't been able to craft as much as I'd like to but "fingers crossed" the current lot of snow is starting to thaw so we can get on with the rest of the year in a normal way :o)

Anyway, I get a bit snap happy during when it has snowed. It should normally take about 20 minutes to walk the mile from my parents house to my work but taking my camera with me meant that the walk lasted about ummm 40 minutes. Here's one of my fave photos - not bad considering that it was taken at 8am and I was frozen LOL



You can tell that I'm now completely fed up with the snow as I didn't take my camera with me on Friday. Thankfully, the snow is starting to thaw!

Santa's on his way

I've finally finished all my Christmas cards this year - yay!

One of the stamp sets that I bought new this year was this cute Santa set.

You can't tell from the photo's but I did Santa's beard and coat fur with flock and added a glittery sparkle to the trees and ground.

My parents birthdays are with 6 days of each other!!! Mum's card is normally fairly easy - well compared to dad as she likes flowers, pink, girly bits and pink! Whereas dad - who has got lots of hobbies but they're things like golf, computers, football and trains - choo choo ;o)

Once again, the fantastic Sarn came up with a challenge to make a waterfall card which I thought would be perfick for my dad's birthday card :o) The only problem was that it took me about 4 hours to finish it!!!

I love this bird!

This is my mum's birthday card for this year. Always struggle with both my parents birthday cards as I always try and do something "different" for their cards. Thankfully, the fab Sarn came up with a challenge to make this shaped card.

Now, I really really love this die cut bird but I haven't got the die :(
Had to borrow Becky's but now I want even more LOL
