Autumn Winds


This card uses a lovely image from Mo's Digital Pencil
I have used paper from the Papermania pad called Lemon Sorbet

Tortoise Love


This card uses a lovely digi image from Digi Stamp Boutique
They are coloured using my promarkers
I used my spell binders to cut the shapes and I have framed them rather that layered them
The piece at the bottom had the holes cut using my bind-it-all 
I then mounted silver card behind it and finished it with the string

Happy 65 Birthday


Firstly sorry for the bad photo, I just could not get the light right
This is another 65 year old birthday card
This time for my kids to give
The numbers where cut on the ecraft and the words done using the hot foil machine
Inside the verse says

'Please note the 64yr old model has now be discontinued!'

Again another quite simple card but at least I back to making some!

This card is for the following challenge

Offically Aged to Perfection!


This card is to celebrate a very good friends 65th birthday
He has become like a father since my own dad died  a few years ago
The OAP was cut on my ecraft machine with the shadow to make the letters stand out
The 'Officially Aged to Perfection!' was printed using my brother laser printer
Then foiled with silver foil using my Letraset hot foil machine
Finally the card was finished with some gems
I think it turned out simple but effective

This card is for the following challenge:

Happy 1st Anniversary


Oh it as been too long since I last blogged
no real reason why just life has been busy so crafting has taken back seat
I am currently house sitting for our friends who are away on cruise, so hoping I can make a few cards!

This is a card I made for my sister and brother-in-laws 1st wedding anniversary
I used the same image I used on all their wedding stationary
They are coloured using promarkers
The papers are actually the inserts from a birthday card I received a few years ago
I used my Letraset Hot Foil machine to silver the sentiment and the edge of heart
Sorry it doesn't show up well on the photo

This card is for the following challenges:
