More snippets

Thanks Jules for the encouragement to use up all my offcuts! Here are a few more cards which fit the bill.

I've used another selection of Hero Arts digis, Penny Black stamps and die cuts. Ribbons, flowers, charms and brads are from my stock.

Happy Mother's Day.....

to all the lovely mums in the UK. I hope your day is a bit more relaxing than any other day :) (I have been writing this post since about 10 this morning which is why my opening line may seem to be a little more ridiculous than usual :))

I have my last few Mother's Day cards to show and I was also going to update my Kids and Co page with new knits as I have another parcel ready to go off, but that may have to wait till tomorrow as I don't think it will be too long before I hit the sack!

I've used an assortment of materials including free stamps from magazine covers, Promarkers, papers and Card Candy from Craftwork Cards, paper flowers, lace, gem stones from my craft stack and fabby ribbons from Ribbon Oasis

I have another busy week coming up with orders so will probably have to work a couple of evenings. It make the days really long as I'm at my desk at the shop by 7.30 every morning, Monday to Saturday - it's a good job I love my work and it keeps me out of mischief. I must try to take part in a couple of challenges though as it seems such a long time since I entered any.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your week. :)

Never ending card

I had my first commission for one of these last week as a wedding card. I've wanted to make one for ages and had messed about with pieces of paper till I got it up to an 8 x 8" card size and this is the result!

 I really wish I could take straight photos :)

I used: Woodware stamps, Promarkers, Lily stamp (but I don't know who it's by), Martha Stewart corner punch and the assorted die cuts, charms, ribbons are from my stock.

The same lady also ordered some signs for her shoe shop so as well as making refund and opening hours signs I made these

Aren't they cute?!


Thanks for looking :)

Baby Album

I edited the pictures for this album on Thursday and found three more wedding albums I made and haven't blogged yet........more to do during the week :) This album is another commission (they seem to be selling well at the mo, yay LOL)

The box..........papers and brads - Doodlebug, ribbon - Ribbon Oasis, image - Pink Petticoat

Front cover.........image and ribbon as above, not sure who made the pea pod paper as I've had it since God was a lad and Pontius was a pilot!!, buttons - Papermania and everything else is from my stash.I've used assorted papers from a couple of kits and everything else is from my stash. All the ribbons were from Ribbon Oasis. (have you checked out their new blog?)

Thanks for looking.

Thank you teacher

I made a dozen thank you cards yesterday for the shop around the corner, then last night and today I am making small gifty type things suitable for end of term pressies for teachers so am back to my 1.30 am finishes! :)

Here are the cards made from things on my desk

Hand stamped images are all coloured with Prismacolours and Sansador. PB images were stamped for me by Jo King and my little man is a Sugar Nellies stamp from Funky Kits

I've also used assorted bits of paper, ribbons, buttons and bows and I can't remember where they came from or who they are by LOL

That's all for now folks. Back soon with the gifts.
