Hi,

Hunting through the stash and found a fairyopolis kit that has been there for ages.  This little fairy just seemed right for a christmas card.  Got the believe in the magic stamp free in a crafters companion magazine and thought it fitted well.  Think the poinsettia is overkill, but hey its Christmas.

Bestie xmas

Trying very hard to get the christmas cards sorted.  Lovely Bestie image I got last year for my sisters card as she is a big fan, could quite get into it myself. 
Coloured with promarkers and added glitter for a bit of bling.  Back ground was stenciled with white medium and a stamposaurus stencil and more glitter added.  Just couldn't choose a colour, glad I didn't now will used various glitters for the same effect.  Getting into the swing now.

Hi,

Long time no post, no good reason, been on hols and pottering about.  Had a lovely day at the craft fair at the motor cycle museum yesterday and bought this cute little stamp called 'It's a wrap' from Glitter Perfect , think he is really a mummy but I thought it worked for get well.and I need that card for tomorrow at work.
Added a small Sue Wilson Bow and coloured him with promarkers and pencils. The sentiment is from 'say it with stamps' from all night media.

Used retro sketches for the layout but turned it horizontal, so will be adding to that challenge and a few more (hoepfully).
Get well soon Sajjan!

Hi

It's also been my sisters birthday this week, all the best Vinetta (aka our Nettie) hope its a good year!
Here's the card I made using a Sheena Douglass Henna folder which I letter pressed and coloured with spectrum aqua markers and a spellbinder butterfly coloured with mica powders on double sided tape, paper, peel-off and ribbon found rummaging around Sue's shop.  The metal bug is a bit of upcycling.  Really enjoyed making this one and will definately be using the theme again.

Hi

Made this with a few favourite stamps, just love the water drops from Ryn stamps (need the rest!).  The girl and sentiment are from Inkylicious and added a bit of texture with a Sheena Douglas folder.

Made this card to send to Simon, Deb and family sometime ago when they said goodbye to their eldest daughter far too young, a sad loss, which they handle with great grace.  They hold fond memories and I am full of admiration.
The faith stamp is just lovely, and my first attemps at parchment.

Made this card for Mary when she was brave enough to leave work and see what happens, so hope its going well.
Used a card kit had since I started card making, and a stepper die bought recently.  The charm is up-cycled from a candle so thought I would enter into cute card Thursday as the theme is charms.  Bit too much light on the photo unfortunately but it was a lovely day so can't knock that
