Caroles card



Here's the card I made for my friend Carole earlier this month. She has a cat named Pumpkin so I thought this Humphreys Corner image was perfect for her. She is also a very generous friend, I have a stinking cold which I collected from her last weekend lol!

The base card is from Hunkydory, paper is Prima, I used a lacey oval nestie and the sentiment is Polka Doodles. Ribbon, bling and other bits of card are from my shelves.

Thank you for visiting and any comments you take the time to make which are hugely appreciated.

Flower punches are EK Success, shaped squares are Go Kreate dies and the sentiment is Penny Black.

Mothering Sunday



I discovered when I was taking photos of this and another card the other day that if I use the close ups setting on my camera that the image is automatically square so that will save some faffing time.

This is the card for my mother-in-law for Mothering Sunday,
Image is Humphreys Coner decoupage
Papers are Basic Grey Phoebe
Scalloped base card is from the shop in Cleckheaton - 3 for a pound- bargain
Trim is My Minds Eye
Everything else is from the craft room shop

I am going to enter this card in the Daring Card Makers challenge as the theme is using green and a lucky theme so, as my patterned paper is green and I am lucky with my mother-in-law.................

Showing a feminine side



Here's a card for my colleague Mark who has a birthday today and requested a pink card.
The Little Claires club stamp was perfect for the job and is simply coloured with Promarkers and the definition sentiment of funny, kind and exasperating probably describes the recipient perfectly.

Thank you as always for looking

...and now for something completely different



Here's a necklace and bracelet which I made for my sister-in-law for Christmas, it was from a kit from Bedazzle beads which was just to make the eyepin necklace but I added another clasp and got a bracelet out of it too so even better value.
