More from 2012

Morning Bloggers :)
Well, I don't believe it! I've found another folder from 2012 in the depths of my files!
This is embarrassing - oops.
It's a bit of a mix bag...

This one made from kraft card I'm not too sure about.
There are times I feel it's okay and then looks again and think "What on Earth was in my head here"

Inspired by such talent

There's so much talent out there in craft land and it's often difficult not to plagerise.
That said, when you come across such talent Birgit from http://bigganed.blogspot.co.uk/  it is a temptation.
Here are some of my samples "inspired" by Birgit but in no way can I manage to match her superb talent ...

More stuff unblogged!

It's hard to take in that I've neglected my blog for so long! So in finding yet another file of makes from way back, methinks a little more catch-up is needed.

Dear me! this is one is from 2012!!! It's a box card as you can see and much of it features the lovely Marianne Creatable die LR0202 which also features on the insert...

And a few 2013 family celebration cards

                                                         (using Pink Petticoat digi stamp)...
(using a digi stamp from Lavinia)...

This effort is the result of playing with a Martha Stewart 'Punch Around the Page' set...
I'll get back with more very soon.

8" x 8" Wedding Card

Hi Bloggers :D I really am trying to keep on top of  blogging but not doing too good - sorry :oops:
So here's more of what I've been doing...This card is worked with a number of dies on plain white smooth 300gm cardstock.

Background made using an  Embossalicious folder

The corner dies are from Marianne Design  LR1043 These have also bee used to create the inner border around the message.

This border layer is then backed by a larger layer using Tonic Verso Decorative Wreath Rings

Bottom of the card base is made using Nelli's Multi Frames MFD023 to create the lace effect

And finally, I used some old Sizzix Sizlet dies for the 'Bride and Groom' and also the dove.

Many thanks for stopping by xxx

I'M BACK

Hiya Bloggers :)
Long time no see :oops: So what's my excuse then? Maybe coz I'm disorganised, or busy, or dog tired or maybe all three.
Just lately I've had  Malware in the system and it's taken an age to fix it, and there's been a problem accessing my blog but hopefully it's now fixed - fingers crossed!


Here goes then....These two where made back in April 2013 (doing some catch-up) :lol:

Using Marianne die for the Yacht (LR0199)

Memory Box - Elegant Scrollwork (98153) to represent the waves,  along with the Marshmallow Cloud (98344) also Memory Box.

Stamping the greeting from a set by Personal Impressions PICSA6070

Frame is the negative, die-cut from Nellie's multi frames (MFD 008)

And my backdrop is acrylic paint splodges (brayered)

Hope you like them. Many thanks for stopping by xxxxx
