Apologies

Hey Guys, sorry I have not been posting for a while. I have been busy with another project and this has been a little left behind.


I have had some time to make some cards, I wanted to make some simple cards that were quick to make. I am really pleased with the ones I have done and they were fun to make. I have also made an 18th birthday card for a boy, which I am very pleased with and hope the young man will like it. I just have about three christmas cards to make then I am all done with the family cards. I think then I might make some simple, quick and easy cards for friends.














So, I will be 40 on Monday! I must admit that I had been quitely dreading it but over the last few days I don't seemed to have minded. I am thinking of it as a new beginning and that has probably helped. I am going to be changing a few things about myself and looking after myself better too, other than that I think things will be the same.

Christmas Cards

Be doing some cardmaking today. I just have to finish of family christmas cards and that will be me ready for christmas, card wise anyway! I did alot of stamping the other day and some colouring, with water colours and this card is one of them. Like alot of my cards I did not plan it, I just got stuck in and this is what happened! I like the stamp as you can use it for New Baby card or Birthday or even a Retirement card.

I am going to do the Blog Candy thing at 1000 visitors as this will give me time to grab the candy! lol

Card Using Stampin Up Papers!!

Yes I finally made a card using my new papers, it really hurt to cut them! lol
Hope you like. It is based on a card on Splitcoast Stampers by Alesha Wallis. She had a great design for a medallion using the scallop punch, but you can use other edge punches. Let me know what you think. Was it worth cutting those lovely papers??

Look what came today!!

No it was not the prince I have been waiting for, anyhow Hubby home today!! lol It was my stampin up things, including the scallop punch!!! Look at the lovely papers aren't they yummy, to nice to use!! lol Going to have some fun later with me punch, after housework of course, a little behind on that now as had to take car in to service today and not long got back. Oh I can't wait to make some cards with the papers and use the ink pads. Hoping to get some more soon!

Well better go and do some chores!!

60th Birthday Cards

Here are three cards I made for my Mum. A friend of hers is going to be 60 and Mum asked for a card, so I made three and then she chose one. I was surprised as she chose the one I thought she would not! lol Mums hey they always surprise you! So which one do you think my Mum picked! lol

Forums

Just come off a forum I go onto and there is yet more moaning and complaining! The last week its been one thing after another, it puts you off going on there. I have been a member on a few forums and it always seems to happen. I suppose its the same in real life so should not be surprised, yet I am. Sorry about the moan but it really got to me today! lol

Not made any cards today but did make three yesterday for my Mum to send to a friend for her 60th. I always make a few and then Mum can pick whichever one she wants. I will post them later so you can have a peek.

Have got the BIg Shot now so have been having a play. I have got some nestabilites, circles and scallop circles so been layering them, I love that look, so watch out for lots of circles on my cards! lol I am going to save up for the cricut as that is what I would really like.

I am thinking of putting some blog candy on for when I reach the 500 on the counter, what do you think?

Support Our Soldiers

Just wanted to share the cards I made for the Support Our Soldiers campaign which was started over at the Trimcraft forum, which was started by cuttercat. The images were free from a magazine and the paper was some wrapping paper I have laying around.
