Tuesdays Post
Good evening all, here we are Tuesday already! The holiday is such a distant memory now with the tan fading fast.... I need something to occupy my mind, a new challenge, so I'm looking out for new styles of card crafting to try - can you suggest anything? I'm throwing a dinner party in a few weeks so I might turn my hand to table decorations and see how that goes :o)
Anyway enough of the chatter, here are my latest creations. It's always difficult making sympathy cards so I played it safe with the floral theme. These toppers and card are from a Hunkydory kit I got before Christmas. The chocolate coloured card is an A4 large card, I was asked to create this for a group of people to sign, the lilac card is an A5 card. I'd love to know your opinion and also what you have used as images for sympathy cards? Have a wonderful evening all xx

A New Year begins....
Well hello everyone, my first post of the year after a wonderful long hot holiday in sunny Florida, well it's just a distant memory now after being back at work for a week :o( I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for 2012.
Well I've made a fantastic discovery this year.....I ordered some CD roms from Fee J Designs after seeing the 'G is for Girls' CD recently and thought what a good idea, I usually struggle to find stuff for baby cards. I also ordered the 'B is for Boys' cd and the 'Pandamonium' which I can't wait to get stuck into! I needed to make a baby girl card yesterday so I tried the new cd and all I can say is WOW! Why oh why haven't I used these cd's before? I was amazed at just how much is on these CDs and the quality of the images are 2nd to none. Everything is easy to find and a brilliant layout means that everything you need for each image is held in the same place, this means no trawling through loads of other needless images trying to find matching papers, tags boxes etc etc. Honestly you must give these cd's a try to believe it! http://www.feejdesigns.co.uk/
Here's my first completed project from the 'G is for Girls' CD. I've taken some A3 pink centura pearl cardstock from Crafters Companion and folded to make A4 card base. I've matted n layered with silver mirri and co-ordinating papers from cd to match the decoupaged image. I've punched the corners using a Martha Stewart punch bought on my Florida hol (teehehe). Joined 2 pieces together and hid the join with a matching paper ribbon from CD. Added decoupage to one side, created sentiment for the other side using Centura Pearl card die cut out using Spellbinders dies and Cuttlebug machine (could you be without it??) and finished off with some ribbon and gems. Hope you like the result.

Christmas Poinsettia Wreath
I've been thinking about hanging Christmas decorations and this is what developed......I made a start on it yesterday but it had to dry properly before I could finish it off. I've cut out 2 hoops of heavy duty card in a wonderful Aubergine colour, I've then used a Marianne poinsettia die in 2 sizes and cut 5 of each in both the aubergine colour and to contrast I've used the rainbow shimmer silver mirri, I've also used a little snowflake punch to punch out the 'stamens' in a shimmery lemon paper. I have then alternated the poinsettia's around one of the hoops, left a gap at the bottom to add a large silver bow and Christmas sentiment....once dry I have added a long piece of ribbon to the back of the hoop so it can be hung, then covered it up with the other hoop - which also adds to the sturdiness or thickness of the finished item, which in this case, is roughly 10" in diameter. You could make this in any size or colour, just let your imagination run freeeeeeeee.
I do hope you like it and may want to give it a go - enjoy :o)

Pink & Blue - awhhhhh!
Hi all, me again! 2nd post for today as I've been a busy girl and I just love these new baby cards - Humphrey's Corner is just tooooooo cute. So here goes, 2 similar A5 cards using centura pearl card stock from Crafters Companion, topped with backing papers from the CC Humphreys Corner CD, used spellbinder dies and punches for topper layers and borders, ribbon from CC, gems and candi and of course the stamped baby Jack image coloured using spectrum noir pens and copics.
I've also made a 8" square card base made from the A3 sheets of centura pearl card from CC, layered silver mirri and core'dinations card before adding borders & sentiment from Hunkydory and some gems then topped with Humphreys Corner everyday decoupage and bits from my stash.
This is it for today, lots more to do and finish so I wish you all a good night :o)
