Heart Mobile

I had a wonderful class with Linda Elbourne last Sunday where we made these fabulous Heart Hangings, from a wooden heart mobile kit. Linda is not only an excellent educator she's very entertaining too. The day went by very quickly, with excellent company too. Gabby brought along a very scrummy cake, for us all. Before we knew it was time to go brave the elements again. A big thank you to Francesca for taking me.

My hanging is a bit brighter than this photo but the light quality is bad, if I can get a better photo tomorrow I'll replace this picture.

Sunrise

I had to stop on the way to work a couple of weeks ago, to try and capture the beautiful colours of the early morning sky.

Grungy Stampotique Birthday card

Another forum birthday, this Grungy Stampotique Birthday card was for Penny who is currently revisiting her teen years. Go look at her fantastic blog and you'll see what I mean. :-)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've given up counting how many times it took to load up this photo, I've a few more cards to upload (they're not in order as some are still on another camera) but this is it for today. Apart from an early morning photo that's going to post later.

Sercret Garden

Stamped onto patterned paper and coloured with distressed ink pads plus a few raindrops to embellish.

Birthday card

Using the scrap under paper after spraying some flowers for this card and using one of the lovely Stampotique stamps, which was coloured in with distress inks. Martha Stewart punch to trim the corners.

I'm having trouble keeping my internet connection long enough to upload photos, apologise for my absence. Can hardly believe that January is nearly over!

Happy New year everyone :-)

Merry Christmas

As it's Christmas eve I thought I'd show some of the few cards I managed for Christmas this year and take this opportunity to wish you all a

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Sorry I've been a terrible blogger of recent. Real life gets in the way sometimes. And I thought I'd killed my blog! Was starting to despair with it as the background had shrunk and could read anything on it but seems to be well for now ;-)

I have a few more Christmas Card/tag photos from the lovely day with Francesca which will have to wait for another day.

Have a great Christmas holiday time.

Card for Penny

I made this card for my forum friend Penny.

She has been so brave in facing what life has thrown at her and I've never known her to moan about it. Wishing you a speedy recovery Penny.
