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?

If I have to make another 18th.......

...I think I might cry ;-)

I'm not sure about this one. But I'm not sure about a lot of my cards lately.

I have just started a new job and I'm still trying to do an OU course so trying very hard to get myself organized...not very successfully. I also don't feel very well today, I have rather a sore throat. I'm hoping it goes away as I'm working all day tomorrow.

I used a project from the scor-pal site and also made the pizza box to put it in.

Cardstock is bazzil bling...what else! The patterned paper is from K & Co and all the bits and bobs are from my stash. All the squares and circles were cut using the cuttlebug and nestabilities.

I have to say that having the scor-pal makes things a lot easier. I wish I'd got one sooner.

Golf!

This card I am not too happy with, but the person who ordered it from me was delighted with it. I was asked by a friend to make a card for a womans 50th birthday. Yep, no problem says I - then she dropped in...."on a golf theme"......argghh!!

I agonised for days about this one. I had an idea for some golf balls but I wasn't sure it would work.The inspiration for the layout of the card came from 2 cards that I got for my birthday from 2 very good friends of mine. I was amazed at the similarities between the two even though one is from England and the other from the USA. Anyway, one of my friends gave me this link and hey presto there were the very same thing I wanted to make and they looked fab, so I decided to give it a go.

So, the cardstock is bazzil bling, the pp is K & Co. Letters and numbers have been cut with my cuttlebug using the Olivia alphabet. The golf balls were cut using the bug and my circle nestabilites. I used photo card because it was glossy and then embossed it with the tiny bubbles cuttlebut embossing folder, but in reverse so they are dimpled. I also used the argyle pattern embossing folder and ribbon, gems and peeloffs from my stash.

Gosh....look how long it is since I've blogged! Mind you I have been away at my Mums, had an exam to have in for the OU and been running about after the kids (I'm still not sure why I run about after them more now that they are older, the youngest being 13, than I did when they were little).

Anyway, todays card is yet another one of the 18th cards that my daughter asks me to make on a regular basis at the moment...LOL!

I thought Edwin with his tray of drinks was fun for this. The patterned paper is by Papermania and was part of a wee stash my Mum bought me for my birthday which is tomorrow....gulp I'll be 39!!!!

I've used Bazzil cardstock on this and some lovely blooms from sarahs cards. The letters and numbers have been cut using the cuttlebug and the hippy chick alphabet. Flower brad is from Dovecraft and the large one is from the Laura Ashley range (again, pressies from my Mum). I wasn't quite sure what I would do with these brads cos they are really big and fabric covered but it goes really nicely in the middle of the flowers.
