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?

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.
