Engagement Card

I made this for a friend to give to her granddaughter to celebrate her engagement. Once againg I used a 3d decoupage image, really need to get more confident in my colouring as I would love to be using Stamped or digi images.


Our Taz

Finished this little cross stitch project today, cant believe how long it has taken me to do. Well thats what happens when your hands dont work right, blasted chemo has a lot to answer for - oh well it could be worse at least I can still craft, even if it is slowly.

I could not resist this project, the little dog is the image of our Tara, although our Tara or Taz as we call her is an old lady of 15 and not as bright eyed as this anymore, I certainly remember when she was.

50th Birthday

I made this card for a friend to give to her neice for her 50th birthday. I enjoyed making this as it gave me a chance to practice my colouring and play with my cricut. The image is Dotties Birthday from Bugaboo Digital Stamps.

70th Birthday Decoupage Card

Its always difficult when asked to make two cards for the same person, especially when it is for a special birthday. So here is the second 70th Birthday card I was asked for. Once again I chose 3d decoupage, not that its noticeable in this pic.

Fight Like a Girl Charity Cards

Not feeling my best today, my arm is really swollen and making it difficult to hold anything. I prepared some 3d Decoupage images that I need for some cards I have been asked to make, then did a couple of Fight Like a Girl charity cards. I love this image from Whimsie Doodle .

70th Birthday Easel Card

I really enjoyed making this card, its for a friend to give to her sister for her 70th Birthday. Finally got round to trying to use my spellbinders in my cuttlebug, Ive had them for months, but have been wary about trying them - there will be no stopping me now. Now all I need to do is come up with an idea for another card as I have two to do for the same person!!

Leaving Card

Yesterday was a bit of a wasted day, I never actually managed to get anything finished as I had the hospital. Its a pain in the butt having to go each week for my treatment, especially as it means I go one day for line care and bloods and the next day for my chemo. Anyway, I was a bit out of sorts after the hospital so just played for a bit, I tried colouring using promarkers which I am still a novice at. I love this girl on a bike image from Whimsie Doodle, so today I decided to make it into a plain and simple little card.

Christmas Tea Light Cards

I saw a picture of these while browsing the web and just knew I had to give them a go. Not sure yet if I am making them to sell at the GB Christmas fundraiser, or if I am going to give them as gifts, with nice scented candles, to the women in my sewing group. Oh well plenty time to decide.

Spiritual Bracelets

Is it ever to early to start thinking of Christmas, not if you know you have a Christmas Fundraiser coming up and there is only you and one other person going to make the items for sale. I began yesterday with these Spiritual Bracelets (I got the idea from Jeanne Winters ) I love them, really happy with how they have turned out. Not sure yet how I am going to package these, maybe pillow boxes with the tag attached, will need to wait and see.
