60th Anniversary

Hi All

How have you all fared with the snow, today was my first day out as I've been off work with a heavy cold, I went to do a little shopping and couldn't believe the drifts of snow, its going to take a while for them to disappear.  

My little card today was fairly quick for me after getting my head around doing it, I've attempted a few before I settled on this one.

Thanks for your visit!

Christmas 2016

Hello All

This is the card I've made for my MIL, used the tile effect from a previous post, the stamp I've used was very popular a few years back and I thought I'd give it another outing.

Thanks for dropping by, really do appreciate it!

Hello

Where are the weeks going, I can't believe it's time for my weekly post again...

Today's card is for my hubby for our anniversary on Friday, 16 years.

You might recognise the image, it was one that went wrong on my first attempt at my brother's 60th card...lol

Thanks for visiting!

Inks & Microbeads

Hi all

Today's card was a bit hit and miss.

I'd seen this technique and wanted to try it but the stencil I chose was completely wrong, it was too intricate, it worked really nice with just the inks it was when I added the paste and removed the stencil, the paste bled underneath and when I added the beads they stuck every flippin where and there should have been some clear space in between but on the bright side the colour turned out amazing.

So it worked out better than expected but not as good as I wanted.

I think next time leave the stencil on and then add the beads and find some way to save the beads stuck to the stencil....lol

P.S I can't post it either it's turned out a bit heavy, so I might give it to my sister.

As always thanks for your visit.

Wedding card

Hello

We've had a fantastic or as the French would say fantastique weekend in Montreal for my husband's son's wedding. It was a very short visit. we arrived Friday afternoon and left Sunday evening. We were a bit tired but had a wonderful time.

Here is the card I made, it wasn't a traditional wedding just a small gathering. So the card I made was in her favourite hockey team colours (The Habs), red, white and blue.

 And here are the very happy couple.

Oh and I got to visit Michaels, what more could I ask for.....lol got some nice bargains.

As always thanks for your visit,  I really appreciate it.

Wedding Card

Hi All

Still playing and still on a wedding theme, don't know why...lol

Very simple design, don't think it needs much explanation.

I had visitors all last week and the weekend so had to tidy the spare room (where I craft at the moment) and now it's so tidy I don't want to mess it up....lol

Thanks for your visit, it really is much appreciated.

Wedding

Hi all

I was just having a play around and ended up with a wedding card, so I asked my mil if she would like it for her grandsons wedding, she said yes and all it needed was the inner doing but she must have forgotten because she gave him a shop bought one instead....lol

At least I have a one in hand, I will share the one from us later on.

As always thanks for your visit.

80th

Hi Everyone

Today's card is for my brother's mother-in-law, she will be 80 mid July, she doesn't want any fuss or anything with 80 on, personally I think it's something to celebrate even though I struggled with 50....lol

As always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it!

Flutterby's

Hi 

Hope you are all well, weather is a bit mixed again isn't.

The die I've used on today's card has been in my stash for ages and never used (because of the size, it's enormous...lol) I thought it about time I used it. So I tried it with different colour backing papers and embossing folders. 

Quite like the effect. 

I have someone in mind for the first one, the others are just for my stash and will need sentiments when I use them.

As always thanks for your visit.
