Two Anniversary cards ...

... made using Joanna Sheen's Victorian Romance CD. Both are A5. The images and the background papers are all from the CD and some Wizard heart nestabilities ... finished off with peel-offs, gems and ribbon.

Oriental Dreams ....

... "Thinking of You" card for a man. The images are matted onto gold mirri card and 3D. The sentiment is also on gold mirri card and stuck on with DST. The edges are done using the Glitter Girls Majestic board and rubbed around with brown ink ... thanks to good advice from a very dear friend. Peel-off to complete.

"Singing in the Rain" ...

... "thank you" card for my Dad. I just thought it kind of summed up Scotland!!!! A5 card made with an image from Joanna Sheen's Hollywood CD matted onto gold mirri card. Finished off with a corner and tag made using Wizard dies. Oh and a brad and peel-offs!!

A very quick ...

... and simple "Thinking of You" card for a man who is going into hospital for a brief stay, so I thought I had better make this!!! A6 card with a topper from the Cupcake Oriental CD. Just a couple of peel-offs to highlight it!!!

Get well card ...

... for a man. Made using an image from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams CD. A5 card with linen card for the image, on a ribbon which can be detached, and there is another of the same picture underneath stuck to the card, so the card is still complete. A brad and peel-offs.

"Thinking of You" card + DCM Challenge ...

.... made in a hurry this morning. Image is from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams CD, mounted on silver mirri card ... three brads, ribbon with Wizard buckle and a peel-off to complete it.

And it also fits the DCM challenge :

• The inspiration for our Little Extra this week once again comes from the list of Traditional and Modern wedding gifts.8th AnniversaryWe would like you to make a card using Bronze, pottery, linen or lace.Your card doesn’t necessarily have to be an Anniversary card, it can be anything you like as long as it incorporates at least one of the above elements.

Two "Thank You" cards ...

One is for a friend who went fishing, and kindly gave us one of the catch ... duly "sorted" ... so that all it needs now is cooking! This is an A6 card, and the image is from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams CD. A few peel-offs and gems to complete it.

The other is for another friend who kindly gave me a fleece duffle coat for the winter ... really kind. The handbag card is from the Glitter Girls Dress to Impress board, and the "fur" is printed from Joanna Sheen's Animal Antics CD. Finished off with some "snake" paper from Coppernob, ribbon handle and peel-offs.

Flower "thank you" card & Rainbow Lady Challenge ...

... for my Aunt Joan (AJ). Just realised that it also may well fit in with Rainbow Lady's challenge!!! It is an A5 card and the flowers are made from mulberry papers with brads in the centre. Wizard corners and background are silver mirri card. Leaves are made using the Glitter Girls Bookatrix board. A "Thanks" peel-off to finish it.

Male "thank you" card ...

... made this morning. Used the Joanna Sheen Victorian Companion 3CD set, including the backing paper. Used Wizard nestabilities and peel-offs to finish it.

Victorian Romance ...

... first card made using this CD from Joanna Sheen. It is really simple ... printed onto glossy card with the same image printed on vellum and attached on top with a couple of brads. The diagonal lines have been enhanced with embossing. Finished off with peel-offs.

Follow up ...

... to the wedding cards sent to Italy ... I believe this will be sent on the 1 month anniversary of the wedding day. All the elements relate to the ceremony. Different!!!

A pleasant diversion ...

... to the sadness of the past week, since loosing our beloved Zoe ... I made this Fancy Paper Folding as my first attempt from Coppernob's Couture Collection. I found that the pattern was not difficult to follow, and not a long drawn out process ... similar to any project undertaken. Hope that encourages a few others to give these a go ... and if you are holding back, don't!!! Any comments ... good or bad gladly received, as I am not too sure!!!!

For a young girl ...

... who has done really well in her exams ... she is only 8 years old, so I thought I would do the dress from the Dress to Impress board from the Glitter Girls. Just embellished with some contrasting coloured card, gems and peel offs.

My competition entry ...

... for the Coppernob competition. Thought I would make the label for a bottle as a Wedding Anniversary tag ... and, NO, I didn't include the bottle as part of the entry!!!!
