Fremington School Fair

Well I have had a few busy weeks with work and home I just havent had chance to make much. I have donated a few cards to the school fair this week to raise money for a sensory garden they are making and after winning the cashmore cup I thought well why not, above is just a couple but there was a lot more, just call it my good deed for the year!!!!!! I have a few commisions to make over the coming weeks so keep your eye on my blog to see what Ive been up to................. Message me if you need anything done ;)

I was asked to make 2 cards for a 18th Birthday for a celtic MAD!!! young man I think I carried this off rather well.

I googled for the celtic badge and decoupaged the badge for the main thing on the card, a nice touch adding 18 today to it, also him being the man of the match.

The second card a simpler card was wanted for her other son. I found a comic sketch of his favourite player for a little touch of fun. I really hope he likes his cards and Happy Birthday Matey!!!!!

Amy

I havent blogged for a while, mainly because my kids have been off of school for their Easter Break and also I've had a rotten cold and not felt like making ANYTHING!!! apart from pleanty of coffee. Its Amys Birthday tomorrow so I thought Id better try and make a card for her, The first one shown isnt very good so I let Alisha who is 5 send it to her and the second from me, unfortunatly my camera I could not find so used my phone and the picture just does not do it justice..... Thanks for looking

Something Fishy going on

Something a little fishy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I normally struggle with male cards, but today I have made 2, one being this one and the other I have posted on the craftzone blog. This is a 3d decoupage card by using an unknown sheet, with a oval cut out using an Xcut and a good times, label.

I have neglected my card making a little this week, but I will make up more stock as Im looking into Mr site and see if I can play around and see if anyone wants to buy them, There seems to be loads of Handmade card sites around maybe I will try making other little things besides cards ..................instead of them clogging up my cupboard.

Benjamins 9th Birthday Card

Well I made this card for my son Ben who is 9 tomorrow. I have made a silly mistake by not including any face detail on the little sissix boy but hey ho I will pop it on later. Ben is into his computer games like the playstation so wot better to put on his card. The little sissix people I got from http://www.craftydevilspapercraft.co.uk/ a few weeks ago and havent up until now to play with them.

Also a couple cards I have made recently

Heat Embossing

Well I tried heat embossing today and here is the first result. I stamped the flower onto white card and using black embossing powder and heat tool. I used chalk for the flower and sprayed to fix the colour. Then very carefully cut out. The ribbon is scraps from a Tshirt I had bought. Along the bottom of the card is some embosing using a light box!! Quite please with my effort though could be a bit more of a wow facter if I put in the effort....

pretty card for a pretty girl

A pretty little card made with papernation 3d decoupage paper and scraps of paper and silver card for the mirror, a card for a little girl Im sure my little girl would love this one. This card took quite a while to make if you include the time taken to cut out the pieces but well worth it looking at the end product.

Mothersday or not????????

I just couldnt make up my mind this morning, It was going to be a Mothers day card for my MIL as she loves gardening so a 3d decoupage seemed perfect but Im not happy with it so may have to go back to the drawing board.

Keep meaning to make cards and blog but today just hasnt gone as planned for me today I have infact bought some card blanks from sainsbury which I thought was quite cool, not a shop I thought I would find stuff like that but hey I will look more often as they had stamps and toppers too which were even cheaper than Crafty Devils. Even better I didnt have my purse but hubby did hehehe a fantastic way of shopping I say.

I thought I would put on a couple wedding cards I made quite a while ago I think I was a little scared at the time to put too much on so plain and simple was the way to go. Well blogger has a different idea as it wont post the rest of them, patience is a virue they say

My VERY First Post

My very first entry onto this bloggy thing and I must say that I havent got to grips with it yet!!!!!! I thought I would start with two cards that I have made today in amongst the mayhem going on in my house at the moment with the kids being off on half term. I love doing decoupage cards I seem to get a strange satifaction out of sitting cutting up bits of paper and trying to make something look half decent out of it (well I do try). I today joined a craft forum on the internet, not sure if they are friendly but Im sure I will find out soon enough and maybe get some insperation!!!! you never know.....
