Tess Brag Book ...

... not quite completed ... Tess got the 'ump (as did Zoe before her!) because I was using my Wizard die cutting machine. I used the Wizard to cut the photos and the letters. The photos chart her progress with us so far ... the first picture is the day we got her, and the last picture is the most recent. I hope that you can see how she has changed ... and hopefully for the better. Thanks for looking.

Sympathy card ...

... A6 cream card with Wizard cut mats and picture from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams CD. Finished off with gems and peel-offs.

My first card using ...

... the new Glitter Girl's Bookafleur Cornucopia board. It is a very simple octagon card in cream with an embossed "sunflower", layered with pale green leaves. Everything is from the board. (Apologies for lack of colour ... bad light, and flash makes it look too bright!). Thanks for looking in.

Simple Majestic Anniversary Card ...

... A6 card made using the Glitter Girl's Majestic board. Finished off with peel-offs and gems.

Simple"with love" card ...

... A6 on cream card ... blue shimmer square from Glitter Girls Majestic board, and the medallion is from their Cornucopia board. Peel-offs and gems to finish.

Cornucopia Purple Anniversary card ...

... A5 embossed using the Glitter Girls Cornucopia board. I then painted it using H2O's ... there is actually iridescent pink in the petals, and iridescent green on the leaves, and stalks. The embellishment of silver and purple mirri board is also embossed from the same board, and layered. Finished off with an organza ribbon bow, butterflies and some peel-offs.

Purple Anniversary Card ...

... zig-zag shaped for a change of scenery!!! It is made using mirri card and embossed on the Glitter Girls Majestic board, acetate and a bouquet using a thistle, jewels, pearls, leaves and heart embellishments. Finished off with peel-offs and an organza ribbon. My hubby says it reminds him of a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk!!!
