G'day mate .... Och aye the noo!

Well this was a different card to make!

Found some images, Scottish & Australian circle flags cut with nesties & stuck together on invisible thread to spin round. Australian map inside, Scottish map on back. Real corks on hat were punched with hole punch from a cork floor tile & stitched on with gold thread! Image was then put on acetate strip to make it 'bob'

Thanks for looking.

Mum's 80th

It's my Mum's 80th next Monday & she loves flowers so it just had to be ......

I'm quite safe to post this as she doesn't have a computer & would probably be the first to say she wouldn't even know how to switch it on! The flowers are purple & lilac although they look blue in the pic.

My sister & I took her away last weekend for a wee break & met up with my brother, his wife & son. She said she really enjoyed herself so well worth all the organising to get us all in one place at one time.

Thanks for looking.

Always the cuties.......

Decoupaged, layered, Nestability frames, Cuttlebug embossed & sentiment computer generated.

Clean And Simple

Printing, embossing, cutting with Nestabilities, corner rounder punching & paper piercing are all the ingredients for this Clean And Simple design. I'm definitely leaning towards the less is more when I can. There's something about some clean, simple lines.

Can you tell he's a tennis coach?!*?

Please feel free to comment, good or bad. I like to read your comments & then I can use the link back to your blog for a visit.

Peter Rabbit 3D Reveal

For a little lady who just loves Peter Rabbit & Mr McGregor's garden in particular. She also likes pink so when I found the pinkish Mr McGregor's garden thought that would suit her card. When she comes to visit she can't wait to look over the fence into the neighbour's 'busy' garden cos she thinks it's Mr McGregor's!

I thought I would try a 3D reveal after seeing a demo of one. Not quite right but I'm fairly happy with the outcome. Just printing & cutting to produce the card.

Thanks for looking.

Never Ending Card

Thought would give a never ending card a go.........never ending as in time it took to think of how to decorate all the panels! Used various stamps & peel offs. Young lad likes football & his dog! And that's all! Matting & layering all done with Nestabilities, used several Cuttlebug embossing folders and a bit of colouring with Sakura pens.

Apologies for the photos (again) but it's either too sunny or too dark... there just ain't a happy medium these days. Feels like winter today. Am just about to look out the hot water bottle before I head to bed. Brrrrrrr.

Am sure he will appreciate the card. If not his Dad will. Used Cuttlebug alphabet for name & numbers

And finally ........

Am absolutely positive I had scheduled this post the last time I was on but it disappeared somewhere in blogland. Not the first time I've thought that but old memory not so good either. Anyone else having this problem? Where am I going wrong? Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Cute Little Puppy

It's been a busy week but have finally managed a couple of cards. Needed a cute card for a wee cutey who will be 4 & eventually found this in my 'ideas' box. Don't know where the template is from sorry, but whoever it was thanks for sharing.

All shapes cut with Nestabilities on my Cuttlebug, sentiment computer printed and name cut from a Cuttlebug Alphabet. Martha Stewart Edge punch strip under sentiment plate. Made backing paper just by printing paws all over A4 card on computer.

Thanks for looking.

Tri Shutter Dog

I'm positive I'd scheduled this card in a post for 30th April but it's gone AWOL. Or something weird has happened in Blogland! So if you see this post twice.... it wisnae me!! tee hee!

Special request to make a simple card but to include the ladies dog, so printed off several copies & decoupaged pup. Embossed panel & added butterfly to embelish.

Sentiment printed direct to card. Background papers & nestabilities for other pieces.

Thanks for looking.

Simple Birthday

Was looking for a simple man's card for OH birthday & came up with this......

The background is direct to paper with my little ink pads & polished with tissue. It is much more subtle in real life. The stamped images are all from SU Pocket Silhouettes. Sentiment is computer generated.

Thanks for looking.




ps just re-read first sentence & don't think OH will appreciate being called simple!!

A Local View....

 For an 80 year old lady who just loves the countryside in this area.
