A mixture of cards made!

I have struggled to finish this first card for my Husband.

Here is his anniversary card.

Inside I have used a paper from Funky hand's disc

I thought it quite suitable as we all

laugh, giggle, chuckle, smile and grin with each other.

Below is my first Christmas card made this year,

using a tilda image.

A cute purple card with a stamped image from cuddly buddly.

And Below there are three waterfall cards,

this one makes a birthday cake.

This one is quite funny starting with one beer,

until the man is on the floor after too many!

And the final one is being and angel or being a little devil!

Some FUN Cards

I wanted to make something totally different to the other cards I have made for Christmas.

These ones are a bit of fun and should make people smile.

I love the penguin below, really cute.
Rocking Robin!The cute Santa looks great with the parcel paper background.I just love these two great snowmen.
The one below has a cute snowman background,
and a folded front to add interest.

It was nice to make something different to all the fairies and polar bears.

Wonderful Christmas Card

Here is the fantastic Christmas card from my sister Trace (aka Spackandee)

Look at all the detail on this card.

The stocking, the Christmas lights, the clock and mirror the mini cards

which are all different!

The wonderful tree with Fab star, and the gifts!

The time it must have taken to make all of these wonderful cards.

Mine are so plain!

Trace, I had to show it off, I am so impressed with your work.

Post 70! (and todays efforts)

Can you believe I am posting for the 70th time, even more reason to give away the blog candy tomorrow.

Below is a card I have made for my Daughter, she will be 3 in January.

I have used some papers and letters designed by 'funkyhand'

and the lovely fairy's.

The next card is also for my daughter, from her big brother.

I wanted them to match in colour and style this year.
Its funny, I have said so many times that I would not use traditional colours,
well below are the beginnings of three out of four that have snuck in!
I have to say though, the reindeer need a dark colour behind them!
All three cards need the finishing touches...
Though I am thrilled with the results already.

Don't forget the name will be drawn tomorrow for the blog candy, good luck everyone

Todays efforts!

I have finally finished my altered match box, but I can not show it yet.

As it is a surprise for the person I am sending it to later this month!

Below are a couple of Christmas cards, though I am not too sure about the toppers.

I have another pack of these toppers, so I might see if anyone on my forum would like a swap with me.
Below are two decoupage cards i have also finished off,
sitting on a log and presents.
And finally, a Christmas theme ATC for a forum friend called 'Doublesided'
Just hope she likes it.

Don't for get to add your comments, so your name can be put into my blog candy draw!

Some Craft business...

I have managed to have some time today making some things.

Below is a card for Challenge 13 on the Crafty Carrot forum.

My first go at ever having a go at a challenge.

It had to have 1 square, 2 rectangles and 3 circles on it!

Another block style card, with a die cut snowman on 3d foam.

Again both these Christmas cards are in the colour I have been using this year!

For some reason I am unable to make traditional colour themes this year.

Another altered tin for an order, I enjoyed making it in lemon.

A colour I had not done before. The picture below shows the inside of the tin,

done with tissue paper this time.

More Block style cards...

I really enjoyed making this style of card yesterday.

So today my Christmas cards had the same treatment,

Again I have used the lovely images and fairy's from :

http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/LILIOFTHEVALLEY.CO/index.html

I also included some lovely ribbon and eyelets.

I haven't used these items for quite some time.

Below are also images from lily of the vally,

a different style of fairy but still so special.

The cards above have been finished off using wooden

embellishments. I think they are a great addition to the cards.

I have used a lovely Christmas message ribbon on the cards below.

Just made these.... for Halloween.

Last minute job for me, I suddenly decided to make my children a halloween card.

They have there first ever halloween party tonight.

The top one is for my son, the next one is for my daughter,

slightly different shape of card.
The last halloween card is for the children who invited us to the party,
I thought it only right to say thank you.

I found My inner crafter again!

I thought I had lost my mojo for a while, but I think I just needed to take a break.

My Hubby came home with an order for me,

which has inspired me to get card making again.

Below is the requested card,

the only thing I was told is that he wanted his wifes name on it.

So I was free to create! I am really pleased with this finished card.

Having made the large card this morning I decided to carry on with my own personal Christmas cards, below are 4 I have completed today.
I have spent time today putting glitter onto all the images today so they are ready to be used.
I have really enjoyed making these today.
On the card above and below I have used some seed beads to decorate the greetings section of card.
The final card below for today anyway!
Not quite the last of my Christmas cards yet!

Made these today and finished off the cards

I made these earrings for an order I had,

the customer requested long pink pair and short green pair.

These hoop earrings were my first go at this style,

I think they look quite special.

They are shell tear drops.

These are the same cards as the last entry to my blog,

just that now they are finished with metal greetings.

'Happy Christmas' or 'Let it Snow'

I have also added some wooden shape embellishments that are covered in glitter.

I think they add to the final finished cards.

I am pleased with these final cards, I am sure my children will look forward to giving them to their Daddy.
