Fab Day!!

Had a lovely day today, went to Alexandra Palace to the craft show.  It was very busy and you had to watch out for ladies and their trollies! lol  Manage to buy a few things and thanks to Hubby for being the bag carrier. :0)  
Met the lovely Heidi, who was working on the Little Claire stand.  It was lovely to meet someone who I have been talking to for a while in blogland and facebook.
Here is a pic of the stash I brought!

Two Today

I made two cards today.  One for my Sister-in-law's birthday and one for my Brother's Wedding Anniversay.  I am really pleased with how they have both turned out.  I am really fond of the one for the Anniversary.  I decided to put their wedding photo on the card to make it more personal.  Used scraps again today.....how good am I?!  :0)

Scrappy Cards!

These cards I have made out of some of my scraps laying around.  I have rather alot and thought I would work my way through and make some cards using just the scraps.

This card I got inspiration from two places, I was surfing and came across their blogs, well worth a look.  The instructions for the flower came from Laurie.  (tell you a little secret I made a mistake on the flower but still looks okay).
The folded piece is from Valita's blog and I adjusted so it was not the actual card base.  Let me know what you think, and you should definately visit the blogs I have mentioned.
