Baby girl

Todays card is a baby girl one made for Julie and Ian from Papercuts.

They had their wee girl last week so I'd better get the card signed and sent off to them!

The image is just adorable and is from High Hopes, coloured in with watercolour pencils.

Patterned cardstock is from the DCWV adhesive stack and the plain CS is from my stash.

I pinched the sentiment from somewhere, I think I'm right in saying it was in some card kits from QVC by Lisa Bearnson.

handprint stamp is from my seeDs and the ribbon as usual from my rather large stash (although I have been very good and not bought any ribbons for a while cos I'm trying to start using them instead of just looking at them ;-))

Finally finished !

Woo Hoo....I've finally finished my exams for my computing course with the OU. what a weight off my mind, now I just have to catch up with my maths and do the next exam for that.....in 3 or 4 days :-/

The card I'm sharing today is for my daughters friend. I have a number of 18th birthday cards to do in the next few months for her pals, so thinking cap on so they're not all the same.

Cardstock is from my stash. The lighter blue background is bazzil bling. Patterned paper is K & Co. The name has been cut using the cuttlebug and harmony alphabet with bazzil bling cardstock.

All of the flowers are from sarahs cards and the brads and ribbons are from my stash.

The image is from Pink Petticoat, who have some great images and they are so handy cos you can print out a stack of them and have them ready to colour.

I had made a mistake with this at first.....I put on the little stones for her necklace/bracelet....then realised I still had to cut it out with my nestabilities and the cuttlebug. The result was some rather crushed stones. Luckily the glue was still wet so I could take them off and redo them....LOL !

May card

I have a lovely group of friends and I try, each month, to send them a card. Last month I didn't manage to get round to making them so was determined to get my May ones out.

I didn't use any stamping on this card at all. It was quite odd and got me thinking about the collection of stamps I have accrued in the past couple of years. Before that I hardly did any stamping at all and only had a few wood mounted stamps which don't really see the light of day.

The papers on this card were downloaded from the Canon website. The cardstock is Bazzil bling (what else ;-)) and the die cut shapes were done using the cuttlebug. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat.

Dunno Ducky

Gosh it's so long since I updated my blog. A good friend of mine told me I'm a terrible blogger.....she may have a point, LOL!

Another lovely sunny day here on the West coast of Scotland but a bit breezier than it's been lately. I haven't been out in the sun though, I don't really like it. I have been inside doing my studies and doing quite a bit of stamping images so I have a stock to work with.

This card was made for my youngest daughters friend. The duck image is from High Hopes (isn't he cute?) as is the wee chick.

I used my nestabilities to cut the aperture in the corner of the card and the chick is mounted on bazzil bling and put on foam pads inside the aperture.

Paper is K & Co and the rest of the CS is from my stash.

Sentiment and name were printed on the computer. I always tend to put the name on the card for kids. They love getting something that's personalised.

MILs birthday

It's a bit of a dodgy day today weatherwise, so I'm playing safe and staying indoors. I have been doing a couple of Open University courses while I'm still at home for the kids and I have my final exams to submit for my computing course. I thought I should probably make a start as it involves programming (:-s), so no crafting for me today.

It's my MILs birthday today and it's her card that I'm sharing today.

I used one of my magnolia stamps, Martha, and have her sitting on a frame made using my trusty nestabilities (what else....lol).

The papers are from K & Co and I love these ones. I have paper pieced Marthas dress using them too.

Flowers are from Sarah's cards and the sentiment is from a HOTP stamp set. The letters were cut using the cuttlebug and the harmony alphabet.

Peeking over

Another card for my nieces birthday. This one was made using papers from my stash but not sure where they came from.

The stamped images are from a woodware set designed by Francoise Reed. They are really easy to use and the images are so cute.

I am having a few problems coming up with ideas for cards at the moment and a lot of my cards have ended up quite 'samey'.....either using the same images or using my nestabilities. I think I need to go looking for my mojo because one of my daughters is going to want quite a few cards for her friends soon and they are all turning 18.

My other daughter needs 3 next week for 13 year old girls so here's hoping my get up and go, gets up and comes back...LOL!
