Never Ending card

Whilst at Debden, I got fed up doing the little booklets so decided to make a never-ending card.  I have made a few before, but forgot just how long it takes to decorate.  Anyway, using the Crafters Companion Beatrix Potter CDs and stamps I decided to make one.  Here are some of the pages:

I was pleased with the result though.  Quite effective. x

Happy Easter to you all

I hope you all have a very Happy Easter.  I can't believe its April already!  Its two months since we were setting off to Australia.  It all seems so far away :o(.   

Well I have bought some more CDs!  I debated and debated on buying them but finally thought, oh what the heck - its only money - I'm sure I'll use them eventually and they will keep!  I've bought the Flower Fairies of the Garden CDs and stamps, Jayne Netley Part 2 and the Royal Horticultural Society set too.  Oh and I've just given in and bought the Glamour and Glitz CDs too!  Listed out like that I have been very bad - but hey, who cares!  So I've made quite a few cards.  Here's one or two:

Now this one was from the Crafter's Companion Fairies of the Garden, Canterbury Bell.  I was quite pleased with the results, especially the flowers which I sort of 'adapted'!!

This one is same set of CDs but using Heliotrope.

and it opens up showing a pretty insert too.

Now here's one I made using the part 2 Jayne Netley Mayhew CD - its an Easter stepper card - typical I got the CD too late to make any Easter cards, but hey they'll keep!!

This whole card came on the CD - I didn't have to but I stuck it onto pink shimmer card, but if I'd thought I could have printed straight onto card.

I coudn't resist this picture from the same CD - isn't he cute?

You can't see very well but I also used one of my Woodware punches and put double sided tape underneath it and then sprinkled glitter into the flowers.  Even though I say so myself, it looks quite cute.

This is the card I couldn't show you earlier because I made it for Anita's birthday - I think she liked it.  This is from the Glitter & Gitz CD by Debbi Moore and it is absolutely brilliant - I certainly shall be making more.

The flower and feathers came from my craft box so I'm not sure where I got them from.

Well I hope you like them.  I'm off to play some more.  Enjoy your day. xx

  

Haven't I been busy ...?

When I got back from Oz I didn't go back to work immediately so had time to play!  Here are some cards I made.

This is from the Glitter and Glitz CD from Debbi Moore Designs which I have fallen in love with.  I got carried away and made one or two more!!

I can't show you the other one I did as I made it for someone's birthday and they've not had it yet!!!

Whilst in Oz I went to the scrapbooking shop I always go to and came away with a cute little stamp - here is my take on the example card in the shop.  I was rather pleased with it.

Its just one bird on the stamp - stanp it three times on the white card, then stamp again on two different papers and then decoupage it onto the card.  Clever I thought.

I also have to admit to buying the Crafter's Companion Peter Rabbit CDs - well I've been away for a month and not bought much card stuff so why not? !!   So I had a little play -

                                       

This is called a tunnel book - here's the cover.

                                     

This is what is inside

                                     

and this is how its put together.  Cute, eh?

Then I made a 'dual aspect card - bit more time consuming but quite effective, don't you think?

                                      

There's still more but I'll leave them for another day.  I'm off now for tea.  Hope you all have a nice evening.  Byee xxx
