Card Making Results!

I made some time over the weekend for a little bit of crafting - so theraputic! Now, I'm fairly pleased with the cards I have made but not the mess - thank goodness the Craft Room is upstairs and out of sight!!!

I coloured this little flower image ages ago with Copics and like how it turned out - I think the image is Inkadinkadoo. I quite like this little flower and hope to try it again with different palettes. The cardstock is two tone - dark grey/pale greyish beige, the leaves are die cut with a Sizzix die which I have had for ages and the other stamping is from my Victorian Fripperie set from WMS.

AND ANOTHER!!!

Thank you cards by the score!!

... AND ANOTHER!

i'm afraid it's all thank you cards at the moment and this is another of them!

I was hoping to receive a Papertrey Ink delivery before the weekend so that I could make a 50th birthday card with their new large number dies - at the moment it is not looking good!! Shop bought it may have to be!

Something to post - at last!

Finally, I managed to make it into the Craft Room! where I made some thank you cards for my daughter and this is one of them!

A Little Winter Papertrey!

I was fortunate enough to spy and purchase a Papertrey Ink set with die to match which contained these ice skates - I love them! In fact I love everything Papertrey! The die I have used at the bottom of this card is actually from MFT but this release of Papertrey contains two very similar dies which actually have an improved design from this one. The die is designed in such a way that it has 'extra' metal at the bottom to help with 'lining up' - this saves the sticky tape that I have to use with mine for the same purpose!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! A New Year is time for new resolutions - time when we take stock and decide to make more time for things that are important to us. I find this an exciting time! At the moment I have so many things I want to do that I really have no idea how I am going to fit them all in! One of them however, is making more time to craft - and to post here on my blog! Here's wishing you all a happy, peaceful and creative 2011!

Time to Craft!

With the chaos of Christmas over I am hoping to spend some time in the craft room - yippeee! That, I hope, is going to be this afternoon! In the meantime I am posting one of the Christmas cards that I made this year. I hope you like it!
