Long time......no blog!!

A great big HELLO!!!

 

I can't believe i haven't Blogged since April.

Where has the time (and months) gone.

 

I've been busy working, decorating and a little crafting.

Here are some of my latest creations........ :o)

 

 

This card was made for my Brother-in-law's birthday.

I used a Wellington image and backing papers.

I am loving the Wellington range at the moment as

they have lovely images for men's cards.

For my garden loving Father-in-law.

I have used a Flippin' men image and background.

I decoupaged the gardener onto acetate then

stuck the acetate to the card.

(This is my first use of acetate and I'm

really pleased with the outcome)

 

Happy 9th birthday to my niece Emily.

I made this card as my niece is a HUGE

dance fan and loves Strictly etc.

I used the Kanban 'Disco diva' card kit and

my niece LOVED it.

 

This card was for my hubby's birthday.

He is a crazy Mountain Biker and goes out every weekend.

The image i used for this card is from KennyK.

The image is called 'Bike Boy' and i

have coloured it with pro-markers.

 

Well i hope you like my new creations. I love making cards and I'm starting to try new ideas.

I am also very excited (and nervous) as I've had a few commission's for cards.

 

I will add these soon and i promise to blog

more regularly lol.
