This is a long post today

Well Sunday (just gone) was Mothering Sunday and I had quite a few cards to make - 5 of them are what I sent out cos I do my Gran (who brought me up), my Mother in Law, my Dads Girlfriend (who he has been with for almost 20 years), my Mum and my Nan....quite a list.

The first is the one I made for my Mother in Law using some more of the beautiful lace.

Next are the cards I made for my Grandma and my Nan. I embossed using the cuttlebug, the gold card oval with scalloped edges is a nestie and the bird is a stitchels stamp that I watercolour painted.

The next 2 are the ones I made for my Mum and my Dads Girlfriend. The purple cards are embossed using the cuttlebug and the images are Pink Petticoat.

Next is one I made for a friends Mum. I did the card as a favour because he mended a chip in one of the alloy wheels on the mini and would not take payment, so one good turn deserves another. I used the stitchels again

I took the photograph of the card and then later took another look and decided something was missing so the bird got a lovely swarovski crystal for an eye (only I didnt have chance to take a photo of the change)

The next 2 cards were for an order...the only specification was that they had to have tabby cats on them, so the images are clip art, the diamantes are swarovski and the flowers are stitchels...there is also some of the beautiful lace once again.

The next ones are for some friends of mine.

Image is Pink Petticoat, crystals are swarovski

More Pink Petticoat images

And me....well I had a lovely card from Callam that he drew himself.

Christening card

Well its been ages since I last posted on here - I have been taking piccies of everything I have done, just not had time to post on here (and I'm cutting it fine today cos its almost time to go and do the school run)

The item I am showing today is the card I made for my Nephews Christening which was on Sunday 22nd March (Mothers day).

Last time I ordered my card blanks I forgot to order some C5 envelopes - I was ordering so many different things I thought I had got everything and when it comes to put the cards I have made into envelopes there are none, so I have had to improvise. I have some C5 office style envelopes and here is the one I used for Max's card. I have printed a pink petticoat patterned paper onto it and it looks really nice.

Card for baby 1st birthday using lace

Yesterday was the 1st birthday of my cousins Daughter and although I wasn't sure what layout I wanted to achieve I did know I wasnted to use pink and some of the lace I recently bought. I had a play with various bits and pieces and this is what I ended up with and I am really pleased with it.
