Golden Wedding
Hi everyone, its getting even closer to christmas now, hope you've all done the shopping etc.
This card is made from a gold mirror 6 x 6 card and l made the main background with using my
Martha Stewart stamp around the page stamps, something else l haven't used very much, stamped
with Versamark ink and embossed with fine detail gold powder, stamped the text the same way,
and then used my Spellbinders/ Marvelous Squares dies to complete the topper, using gold mirror
for the lower layer. Topped off with the gold organza ribbon completes this card, ideal for Golden
Wedding anniversary. I hope you have enjoyed taking a look at my blog, and like what you see.

Calendar wallets
Hi everyone hope you are all getting ready for Christmas, it won't be long now.
Thought l would make a change from posting cards, these are some little wallets l've made
for my craft stall. I got the idea from a Demonstration l attended recently, with the dimensions
l used, its possible to make two out of l piece of A4 card,... four score lines and job done except
for the matting and putting toppers on. I used some from, the Art Deco kit l purchased from
Hunkydory,then added a little notepad and calendar, l think it makes a lovely little gift, ideal for
handbag or pocket.
Hope you like this, and thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

Christmas Humphrey
Hi everyone, where have all the days gone, there just doesn't seem to be 24 hours in them anymore.
This was a quick card l made from a topper that l had in my stash. Started with an A5 white card, used a green stripey paper for the first matt, embossed some co-ordinations green card with leaves
and then sanded back a little then using a glue pen l edged the leaves with glitter, cut around some of the leaves to enable to tuck the topper under at different areas, matted both onto some red card and added a sentiment, there it is complete, as l said nice and easy.
Many thanks for taking a look at my blog, any comments you have would be appreciated.

Opening Presents
Hi everyone, goodness has it really been a week since l last blogged, this must be put onto my New Year resolution, " l must blog more often"
This is, yes, you have guessed, an A5 landscape blue base card, the main matt l made myself by stamping loads of snowflakes and embossed with a silver sparkle embossing powder, and then inked
the edges, the stamped image is one of Sheena Douglass's and coloured with both Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers. I then cut out with one of my nesties and also a blue matt too, inking the edges once more. Stamped the greeting and attached, added a couple of gems, and hey presto it was complete.
Hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog, and any comments would be welcome...Thank You

Christmas is coming
Good morning everyone, hey l am doing well keeping up with my posting, l have a little more time at the mo as my next booking isn't til 18th December for my stall.
Right, this is an A5 landscape card, and l chose a pale blue pearlescent one as the base, l then chose a toning shade for the matt and embossed the corners with my Cuttlebug master collection. The stamped image is one of Sheena's, A Little Bit Festive, and l used watercolour card and my Whisper pens, it was a nice change, using my nestie l cut leaving the edge of the tree out of the box so to speak. I hope you have enjoyed looking at my blog, any comments are welcome. Thank You

Bethan
Good Morning everyone, l am making an early start today, as, like everyone else l am very busy,
Christmas coming and all that.
This card was made for my grandson's girlfriend, Bethan, whose birthday is today, l am sure she won't mind me posting it here. I started with an A5 white card, landscape, then used one of my embossing folders for the main matt and inked the edges with Milled Lavender distressed ink, then punched a ribbon out of the same card and matted onto black. The stamped image was from one of my magazines, sorry can't recollect which, coloured with my Spectrum Noirs, cut with a nestie, and also cut a matt in black too. Cut three different circles, also matted onto black after following thro the tinting on the edges, finished off using my Cricut to cut her name out. I was quite pleased with the finished card and hope that you agree. Many thanks for taking a look at my blog, any comments are welcome.

Carol singers (Sepia)
Hi, hope everyone is o.k. today,
This card is an A5 portrait card, and l used backing paper from one of Thomas Kinkade C.D.'s
l then stamped out the Pilkington Lane carol singers, l know, l used it on my last one but love it as it
is a lovely scene, used a sepia coloured ink pad and just slightly dragged a hint of colour, and used
some crystal glitter to highlight snow. Using one of my nesties, cut it out and also matt it onto some
gold mirror card, embellished with my mistletoe and greetings dies in gold again.
Many thanks for taking a look at my blog, any comments welcome.
