A new card Thanks to a friend

Thanks to a card making forum Friend I have had my first go at making a fan card.

I thought they would be easy to make, well they are if you read all the instructions!

I will be making some more of these when I get a chance.... though as mentioned before its time for me to begin some christmas cards!

Happy to be selling.....!

I am Happy to say that everyone who has bought a bracelet off me has been very pleased with them. I know I am shouting about my own success, but if I don't then who will?!

Its not taken over my life but I have been able to keep everything up to date.

Here are some of my most recent cards, I just wish I could have the same selling power with these as I do my bracelets! Card making is my favourite pass time I just wish people would want to buy them. Its my own fault getting a lot of my family members into making cards. I lost out on some really good customers!

I really like this little bear, so I had to use the image a couple of times.These two cards are a personal favourite, I asked a friend to design this image into a 3d decoupage sheet which she did. I love the way the card turned out.

This cute dog on the phone is just wonderful, I have managed to make a few cards with these doggie images.
Another of my Favourite pictures again!

Cute doggie again, for my neighbours Daughter, she had hurt her chin and had to have hospital treatment. I wanted to cheer her up :-)

There is a real mixed bag of cards here, it just shows you how much my ideas jump around in my head just recently. My mind is constantly thinking of things do to or things that need doing!
No wonder sometimes my head will not let me sleep.

Another few days....

I can not believe it, how does time escape me so much? I have been busy with the usual work in the home but also keeping in touch with people who mean a lot to me. Some of them mean a lot more to me than I thought they did. Its not until you don't hear from someone you then realise when you do how much they have an effect on your life!

I have also kept up being creative but, not had much chance to blog it yet.

My dear Son has enjoyed his first day at school all day, though he did say he didn't like having lunch there. considering its a packed lunch! Though he did say one friend goes home for dinner... I am not going down that road! I will post new crafty picture as soon as I can.

New Bracelets Made yesterday.

I actually made three bracelets last night, a childs one for a neighbour.

Then these two, the pink one above is for the buyer, she asked for as much bling as possible.

The blue one is a gift, and I was asked not to put too many beads on it for her.

I just hope she is happy with them both!

I really enjoyed working with blue for a change, it is my Favourite colour!

Even though this one doesn't have so many beads there are enough to make it special.

Included are two silver charms and three glass beads.

More crafting this evening

As I was out for the day yesterday, I took some decoupage sheets to cut up and layer while I was with my mum. I like to split the pictures too as I think sometimes there are too many layers. This way I get two cards for the cost of one.Both these Rabbit cards were off one sheet, I thought it was really cute.
I really love this teddy bear sheet, she is so sweet. I managed to do another picture on a smaller scale for an ATC.


Below is the 4th tin I have Altered, I think so Far this one has to be my Favourite.

Another view of my 4th tin.
I really love these embossed stickers, They are a delight to use and to give on cards or even my tins.
There were two cards very much the same though the boarders were different.

The other picture was too blurred. Probably because I was trying to keep sticky children's fingers from touching!
I have made this card for my sister, she is truly my best friend. I love to send her a card every now and then to show her how much she means to me.

This card was made using the other parts to the decoupage sheet... two cards for one again!

Had a go at a self portrait!

This is a 'cringe' moment..

Also a little shaky on the focus!

While the football was on last night!

While My other Half! was watching the match, I sat listening to music, trying to hear it over his shouts of glee with each goal! I got creative and made these two cards.

The one above is 3d decoupage, even though the picture does not show all the layers!

I thought it was a cute image for that most important first birthday.

This card I just had to make, the stick on label Tag was just shouting to me to be used.

It has a delicate glitter effect that is just so lovely.

I wasn't very productive, but took my time over these two.

I now have one song running through my head 'falling into you' by Celine Dion.

It has beautiful words and so much meaning.
