Well this fella came out of the potato bag on xmas day and I hadn't the heart to peel him....hee hee! That is because he reminded me of my grumpy other half.

Of course, then said other half got hold of it and started to draw on it. I rescued it for a picture before he went too far.

I hope you all had a wonderful xmas and wish you all a very happy 2009.

The card today is for my sister's birthday. She is a huge Liverpool FC fan and adores elephants so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and do the elephant with a red bow (I couldn't find a football playing elephant).

The stamp is from High Hopes and the cardstock is bazzil bling but turned round so it's showing the back. The ribbon was a bargain from Tesco xmas wrapping section. The sentiment was stamped using a couple of stamps from clear dollar and then matted using my nestabilities.

Wow...can't believe it's almost a month since I last blogged. Guess that's what happens when life gets in the way!

This card is using an image from Pink Petticoat, patterned paper is from Basic Grey and cardstock is bazzil.

The ribbon was pinched from my daughter's pyjamas (cos the colour was a good match) ;-)

Hmmm

I'm not very happy with this card at all. It didn't take too long to make and I knew kind of what I wanted to do but it didn't turn out the way I wanted at all.

I tried to make a rosette, because the girl is into horses, and I think the middle has turned out all wrong. I reckon it would have been better cut with my scalloped nestabilities rather than the circle punch I used.

Anyway, the stamp I got from Joanna Sheen. The patterned paper is DCWV adhesive and the ribbon and cardstock are from my stash.

Thanks

Just a quick one today. This card is for my trainer at work who we are supposed to have for the last time today. However, I got a text after I left the house to say she wasn't well so to have the day off. I'm supposed to be doing my maths exam instead but have yet to open a book :-/

Anyway, I digress. This was a quick fling together. The image is from Pink Petticoat, coloured with copics.

Cardstock is bazzil bling, coredinations and white card from my stash. A splash of patterned paper by K & Co and ribbon and flowers also from my stash.

I haven't made cards for ages what with the new job and my OU maths course. I had to make quite a few this week though as I had an anniversary, a 60th, 2 18ths and I still have a 40th to make for a friend of mine, but as she lives in the States, I think it will be a "sorry it's late - 40th" card :-(

The image on this one is from high hopes, and the backing paper is from papermania.

Red sky at night?

I took this picture of the sky the other night. It almost looked as if it was on fire. How awesome does it look?
