Evening.......

Thought I'd better make a start on my christmas cards as I've loads to make aswell as some birthdays ones that are coming up!!

Not so keen on the pinky peach one, its not really my colour, but I just adore Frosty, so had to use him, the lilac one I've sprinkled with glamour dust to add a wee bit of sparkle!!!!

Thats all for now, thanx for looking xxxxxx

The beer one was for Dans friend, I did the 'froth' using liquid applique & heated it with a heat gun.

Peacock lady

Afternoon folks, its been a bit cool here today, so I've spent the afternoon in me wee studio, having a play with this little gem. I know my colouring in needs vast improvement, but I really enjoyed it & I'm quite pleased with my first attempt, the stamp is by Graphicus

what do you think???

An 8x8 card...

thought I'd have a bash at one of these, papers are Papermania Basics Vibrant

I quite like doing this size card, & thought I'd better try one cos I've a wedding one to do!!

a bit different.............

Gosh its windy here today, so I'm going nowhere!!

Been having a play with this design, its not decorated as much as I'd like, as I wanted to get it on here to show you. The panel behind the snowflake is backed with acetate & the peel-off is glittered & coloured, the panel after that is just backed with christmas paper. Obviously you can really go to town with the decoration of this, for now I've just left the base card plainish.

would like your opinions on this

good evening folks, I'm back refreshed after a fab week away in the Highlands, will post some piccies tomorrow

this is done for one of my regular customers, its done with the new sizzix folders (wedding set)

would welcome your opinions on it, I think its a wee bit plain

Forever & always

made using the new Sizzix folders, I just think its missing something, I would've put some lilac pearls in the corners, but I havent got any lol, probably should've used a slightly textured card for the base, oh well, back to the drawing board lol

Bet you thought I'd forgotton

Thanx for dropping by

Not sure about this one..................

Good evening, I was having a 'me' day today & of course it never works out that way does it???????

Managed to get in my studio & made this card for my neighbours little girl, not sure about it tho, I liked the ribbon on it but now its stuck down, I dont & I think the right side of the card looks a little plain so might put a couple of gems just to bling it up a wee bit!!!!!

Thanx for dropping by

hugs
