Little Fairy card

I made this card using the freebie Debbie Moore images and papers in the new Creative Cardmaking magazine. DS is going to a party for a classmate at the end of the month and I thought this decoupage fairy image was perfect for a 7 yr old girl. I just added a bit of plain lilac cardstock, a tiny ribbon bow and some glitter glue to the items which were with the magazine.

Card for another Friend

This card has been made for another friend of mine whose birthday is at the end of the month, she has dogs and I think this image (which I have had for an age) is very cute. The paper is again the Green at Heart pad from Basic Grey.
My image has been coloured with my old favourites Promarkers.

Card for my Friend

Hello Everyone.....anyone....
 Very embarrassed that it has been about 9 mths since I posted anything on this blog but with all your help I would love to get it going again if anyone actually wants to see my cards still!
I have made a few cards which I could have posted on the blog in the last few months but I got out of the habit of taking photos so most of them were in the envelopes and gone before I remembered!
Anyway this is for my friend whose birthday is next week.
I have had the Penny Black image for ages and the paper is by Basic grey, the Green at Heart pad.
If you are reading it would be great if you could leave a comment so I know someone somewhere is reading LOL!

Simple Rose Garden card


This has been made using the Papermania Rose Garden 6x6 paper and diecut stack. The things added are a tiny bit of ribbon, a few adhesive gems and a small square of gold mirri card and the Craftwork cards sentiment.
This has been made for a family friend.
This signals the end of my scheduled posts, hopefully I may have made a few more cards to show you by now LOL!

Doughnuts anyone???


Ha ha this is so funny!!!

I have made this to give to my niece, it is her birthday in May, I'm sure she will love it! Same free papers as before and to emulate the doughnuts I punched large circles from the purple paper and stuck them randomly over the pink paper. I coloured the sentiment circle with a Promarker to match the colours of the card.

Roses and Anya


The backing paper on this is from the gorgeous Papermania Rose Garden pad. I added a little glitter glue to the rose. Stuck a row of gems on too to make the card a bit more special. This is for one of DD's best friends.

Card for DD's friend (anyone still there LOL!)


I made this card using the free papers which come with this months Scrapbook Inspirations. I thought they were really bright and cheerful and perfect for spring cards. I have made several cards for DD's friends and will be posting them all over the next few days so pop back when you can and leave a comment if you have time. I have not posted regularly for so long I guess some have stopped looking but I will try to do better, promise!

Mothers Day card - House Mouse




I made this card using the gorgeous House Mouse decoupage sheets from Joanna Sheen. I have made another using a different design for MIL which I will show over the weekend.

Aren't these sheets just adorable, very detailed. You have to cut them though, which I enjoy but they are very detailed which may cause a problem for some.

For my Friend!


Hello from a stranger! I hope everyone is well?

I have still been crafting but only for work not pleasure, but I decided to make this for my friend nextdoor who has a birthday tomorrow. The paper is Basic Grey Origins and the image is Lili of the Valley.
I committed the ultimate crafters sin over christmas and bought all of my cards as I didn't have time to make them.....first time for 4 years ......and boy had I forgot how expensive that can be!
I can still be found almost every month in Cardmaking and Papercraft and if any of you are getting married or are going to be making Wedding stationary for anyone there is a new magazine out from Origin publishing and my cards are plastered all over the front of it!...That was a frightening experience for me as I have never even attempted wedding stationary before so it is great to see them on the cover.
I do the odd commission for Papercraft Essentials too and have one in the new Creative Cardmaking special(the one from Craft shops), some Easter cards.
I hope it's not so long before I post again, I don't think it will be as I have a card for another friend to make in the next couple of weeks.
If you are still reading my blog, thanks, and I would love you to say Hi!

Mama Cards
