Excuse: Website Header

05Jul10

I know that you’ve noticed my lack of posts lately so I’m trying to make up for it by showing you all my “excuses”.  If you want to read more about what’s been keeping me away, read this post. But today I’m here to show off my latest pics for a website header.  I seem […]

So Glad We’re Friends

27May10

My monthly Stamp Club class is something I look forward to each month as it is so great to catch up with the girls and they truly have become my friends.  It’s class time again tomorrow and this is the card we’ll be making. It uses the big shot to cut the top note, little […]

Memories Folder File

23Apr10

For my sister’s birthday party we decided it would be nice to have a small box of cards available that everyone could write a memory they have of her or something special about her.  That way she can sit down later and read them all and have a laugh, or cry, and hopefully enjoy the […]

So what’s the next Occasion?

08Jan10

Valentines Day of course! Well, I must admit that I’m not really a valentines person and I have never even made a valentines card.  But I sat down today for a little bit of craft time and thought I’d try my hand at a few “challenges”.  I checked a few blogs that I visit regularly […]

For the Bride

16Jul09

I absolutely fell in love with this set,For the Bride, the second I saw it.  I also thought ‘how many times am I going to use it, and is it worth buying it?’  Too practical!! So I didn’t end up buying it.  But I was lucky enough recently to achieve a new level as a […]

Fifth Avenue Floral

30Jun09

I caved in recently and bought the much sort after Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.  This is my first attempt at using it.  I have seen so many lovely designs but thought I’d keep this one simple and come up with my own. I have used Pink Pirouette cardstock for the base and also the […]

Country Chick

24Jun09

I am really stepping out of my comfort zone here.  I have been asked to make a few cards with specific interests in mind.  This is the first one.  The criteria for this one was that it needed to be for a birthday and the recipient likes the ‘Country Style’ and the colour maroon.  I […]

Little Cutie

12Jun09

This beautiful card is a copy of one by Sarah-Jane Kale.  I had to make one for a boy and one for a girl.  I like the original version which is the blue one best.  I probably should have changed the green on the pink card to another colour but it’s still ok. For the […]

Just to say Thanks

10Jun09

I needed a thank you card for an activity last night and I just had to use my Pun Fun stamp set. I also used Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa, Candy Lane Designer Series Paper and Kraft Taffeta Ribbon.  I stamped the image in Close to Cocoa then coloured the sheep using my blender pens […]

Cherish

26Apr09

I have loved the Illuminations stamp set since I saw it in last year’s Idea book and Catalogue.  I finally have it now and had to make the card that was shown in that catalogue.  I have used the same layout but different colours and other slight variations.  I love it so much!  Very, very […]
