Savvyshoppabella Birthday Card

2009-05-14T13:16:00.000-07:00

This card was made for my Sister in Law and I love it! I used my new SU papers that I ordered from Jules over at Julie's Japes (again I've had them yonks and only just used them). I love the fact that they are double sided and used my Queen & Co sequin flowers and brads. I also love my savvy shoppa as she is just what I look like on my trips to town!!

Elzybells Sheep Birthday Card

2009-05-14T13:10:00.001-07:00

Tut tut, what a naughty blogger I am! I can't believe the last time I posted was in December....I have no real excuses except for the fact that with working, looking after two children and all the housework, I just don't seem to have any spare time. I made this card a few months ago and haven't even had time to post! Anyway, I was given this lovely stamp set my Michelle over at The Card Grotto for my Birthday back in October and really enjoyed making this card.

Bon Voygage Card

2008-12-09T04:23:00.000-08:00

I made this card for my neighbours as they were going to Germany for a holiday and had never flown or been abroad before. I used my new stamps from Elzybells and coloured in with copics. I layered doodlebug paper and cardstock and cut out with my new Nesties (still trying to get to grips with these). I then finished the card off with pink gems.

Country Girl Thank You Card

2008-11-24T13:45:00.000-08:00

I made this card for a friend at work who wanted two thank you cards to send to two host families in America who looked after her son when he went over. I absolutely adore this paper by K&Company called Sparkly Sweet as it was sooo glittery. I inked up my new Alota Country Girl Standing stamp and coloured her in with copics. I'm still not really happy with the finish you get with Copics and I'm hoping to get better with practice.

Happy Halloween Card

2008-11-03T04:32:00.000-08:00

I made this card for a birthday party my daughter went to for Halloween (and I'm also going to enter it into the Spiral Whisper challenge). Not too sure if I used too much orange but never mind. I used my new prima flowers and a papermania glitter brad. The embossing was done with my new Cuttlebug pumpkin folder. Don't you love the cute little cat in the corner? Both stamps are from Spiral Whisper and I have used papermania gems for the stars and 'i'.

Nurse Congratulations Card

2008-10-27T13:10:00.000-07:00

I made this card for Michelle over at The Card Grotto for passing her nursing exams. I used Nurse Lexie from Spiral Whisper for the image and coloured in with Copics. I liked the colours used in this card and it's also the 1st time I've used mini brads (glitter ones for this card, which you can't see in the photo) with Prima flowers and I like it.....The paper is by Sweet Spots by Reminisce.

Hobby Craft 12x12 Paper

2008-10-19T11:47:00.000-07:00

It was my birthday a few weeks ago and I got brought some gift vouchers for Hobby Craft. I'd been in Hobby Craft several times since trying to spend them and could find nothing to buy!! Any hoo, at the weekend I decided to just go and buy some seriously over priced stamps, but to my suprise they had loads of Doodlebug 12x12's plus makes like K and Company, Anna Griffin, Laura Ashley & Core' dinations card stoc. So naturally I spent the vouchers of tons of 12x12 paper (luckily I had been brought some Display Dynamics 12x12 trays and of course I had to fill them :D).

I also made my first purchase of some Nestabilities (square and circle) so now I'm just waiting for them to arrive and I'll be busy making a few more cards.

Caravan Thank You Card

2008-10-19T11:39:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my mother in law who bought me this stamp (we go on alot of touring caravan holidays you see). It's the first time really that I've used bold patterned paper along with a busy stamp and also copics, and I have to say I'm impressed with the out come.

Julie's Blog Candy

2008-10-15T11:26:00.000-07:00

Julie is celebrating her first Blogoversary and is offering some yummy candy. Check out her blog over on juliesjapes.blogspot.com for your chance to win :o)

George & The Dragon Birthday Card

2008-10-07T02:28:00.000-07:00

My sister wanted me to make a card for my nephew's 1st birthday and I was stuck....then I remembered the fairytale stamps on Elzybells and as my nephew's name is George, I thought 'bingo'. I used my old Sizzlits alphabet set, and coloured the image in using water colour pencils. This was a good card day!

Birthday Tilda

2008-10-07T02:24:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my Mum's birthday. Apart from the colouring of Tilda, I'm quite pleased with this card. I used some of my new SU! card and some raffia I found in my stash.

Pink Pregancy Card

2008-08-19T10:30:00.000-07:00

I have Michelle to thank for this card as she set me the image. I made this card for my friend who has just told me she is pregnant, but I did'nt have any stamps and knew that Michelle had this fab little stamp by Amuse. Again I used some of my Doodlebug eyelets to make a tag and I love the colour of this card.

Elzybells Flower Girl Birthday Card

2008-08-18T12:09:00.000-07:00

I made this card for my neighbours birthday and I must say I am very impressed with the way it turned out and I'm loving the lime green doodlebug papers. I also got to use my eyelets again as I'd forgotten all about them.

Ballerina Martha

2008-08-04T14:01:00.000-07:00

I made this for my nieces 3rd birthday as she has just started to go to ballet and loves pink. I was going to put a chipboard no.3 on it but it spoiled the look so I just wrote it inside.

New Baby Boy Card

2008-08-04T13:53:00.001-07:00

I made this card for a friend who wanted to give a card to someone to keep as a keepsake. I think it turned out quite well considering I had limited supplies!!

2008-07-23T11:14:00.000-07:00

This card I made for 2 of so Charlotte could give them to both her classroom assistants. I enjoyed making this card too, but not sure I can enter this into Michelle over at Card Grotto's monotone competion.

Teacher Card

2008-07-22T03:01:00.000-07:00

I made this card for Charlotte to give to her teacher as it's her last day of school on Wednesday and her teacher is leaving. I loved making this card and think it turned out better than expected. It looks nicer in real life :o)

Male 40th Birthday

2008-07-11T12:59:00.000-07:00

This was a disaster from start to finish......I left it too late to make and rushed the finishing touches at work today!!! I wish I had had more grosgrain ribbon to wrap round the whole of the card instead of having to just stick the bit I had on the front with double sided :o(

Ah well you live and learn, and I will never make another male card again. I have a teachers card to make next week and I am going to excel :o)

Tilda Birthday Card for Michelle

2008-06-05T12:04:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for my friend Michelle over at the Card Grotto, the actual card looks better than the photo's as the colours stand out more and are richer.

Belated Merry Christmas

2008-03-27T12:46:00.000-07:00

This card was for Michelle Short and I had told her before Christmas that I would make her a card for Christmas......I posted it in March!!! It takes me sooooo long to get around to making cards and yet I continue to buy stuff.

The Parade

2008-03-21T09:12:00.001-07:00

This card was made for a neighbours daughter as she invited Charlotte to her birthday party which was on halloween. I loved the stamps and can't wait to use them again in October.
