Beer and rugby


The papers and frame for this card were from a Create and Craft set, as was the beer topper. I printed the sentiment on a spare piece of one of the papers and coloured in a Paper Nation rugby player.

Celebrate 7th birthday


This is another card I made ages ago (I know that my neighbour will recognise it, because she commissioned it). Two pieces of DCWV papers for the background with some grosgrain ribbon, a hearts and the letters and number. The little digital image from Bugaboo, coloured with spectrum noir pens, was cut out with a Spellbinders marvelous squares die and mounted on to another in that set.

For a film media student


I made this card ages ago (it was a commission for a young man who is into film media etc - and in fact, I've just made this year's birthday card for the same young gentleman - lol!).

The background paper is from a Crafter's Companion pad, but I can't remember which one (too long ago). The film strip was a rub on that I'd had for ages (still got some), using up scraps to fill the frames. I've had the buttons with felt for a long time and thought they fitted the theme.. The sentiments were generated by my dymo letratag.

Sometimes life's a puzzle


Although I'm not feeling brilliant, I'm trying to take my mind off my aches and pains. I was looking through some of my craft stuff and came across some jigsaws - pearlescent card, which I'd already run through my xyron ready to use ... ages OK and forgot about them. 

I got out a large carabelle  studio zentangle stamp (bought ages OK and I confess it's never been used till today), inked with versamarkand put the jigsaw on to the middle and then heat embossed with black detail powder.

Before mounting on the black card I took out three pieces and generated the wording with my dymo letratag.

It's hard to see on the photo, but irl you can see that there are jigsaw pieces making up the whole piece.

I used to blog every day, but for ages now have got into the habit of only blogging for my own Christmas weekly challenge and my monthly patterned paper one. I'm going to try and blog more with other things. So this is a bit of a fresh start.
