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!!!

Get well soon card ...

... for a dear friend who is in hospital after an accident. A6 brown card with poseable Wizard teddies, coloured with crayons. Finished off with peel-offs and lines embossed using my M&F board from Coppernob.

A very quick ...

... anniversary card. As you probably noticed my card making has suffered lately from lack of inspiration!!! I made this today in about 1/2 hour flat, as the anniversary was yesterday and it was the only idea I could come up with in a hurry! It is an A6 brown card with Wizard die cut leaves and finished off with peel-offs. Thanks for looking at my effort!!!

Three Very Simple Anniversary Cards ...

... for the reason my brain cell (creative genius ... hmmm!) seems to have gone walkabout, and I had forgotten all three of these anniversaries ... having been so rough with a cough for well over 3 months!!! So I ended up using part of a kit to make these cards. Apologies for losing my card making abilities, and hopefully it will return forthwith (or there will be trouble)!!! Thanks for looking!!

Simple Hollywood ...

... star card ... for two very special people!!! A6 red card, with images from Joanna Sheen's Hollywood CD, and all the stars are made by using Wizard star nestabilities. Three gems to finish it off. Thanks for looking.

Oriental Dreams ...

... anniversary card. A5 linen card and background printed on from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams, as is the image which has been matted onto gold mirri card. Label made using Wizard die. Finished off with red organza ribbon, gems and peel-offs. Thanks for looking.

Hollywood Anniversary Card ...

... using an image from Joanna Sheen's Hollywood CD. Adhered to a cream linen card. All the shapes are made using Wizard dies. Finished off with red organza ribbon, peel-offs and gems. I have had a real blockage for card making, so this is my first attempt for AGES. Thanks for looking.

Wedding Card ...

... some of you really bright people (which I know you all are) will notice that a theme seems to be developing here ... lol!!! Again this is A5, but this time it is burgundy silk, with Wizard hearts (silver mirri card) and rings (gold mirri card), bride and groom toppers, flowers, organza ribbon, feathers and peel-offs. The photographs are of the right side and the left side ... again can't seem to photograph it all at once!!

Heart Anniversary Card ...

The big heart has also been embossed using the heart Cuttlebug. The pictures are of the left side and the right side ... can't seem to photograph them both together!!!

Sorry I have not put anything on here for ages, but my fibromyalgia has been giving me severe jip!!! Thanks for dropping by.

Oriental Dreams ...

... "Congratulations" card. The image is from this fabulous CD of Joanna Sheen's. I have also used a Wizard Edgeability Die and painted the embossed bamboo and leaves with H2O's. Thank you for looking.

A present to go with the previous card ...

... for the friend who adores all the animals, but particularly the big cats, zebras and giraffes. So I printed these four images from the Jayne Netley Mayhew CD and put them in a frame. Hope she likes it. Thanks for looking.

A JNM Anniversary card ...

... similar but different to the one I did the other day ... using up the leftovers from the topper sheet for a friend's anniversary ... and she really adores her animal prints!!

"Thinking of You" ...

... card for a friend, who needs cheering up. I hope this does the trick!!! It is A5 and the image and background paper are both from Jayne Netley Mayhew's CD. I printed the image onto a pale tan cardstock, and the background is printed onto a shimmery paper, so that it sparkles slightly. Picture and sentiment both matted onto gold mirri card. A Wizard embellishment to finish it off, with a few gems.

Last one ...

... of the three anniversary commissioned cards. I was asked for either Winnie the Pooh or teddies, and as I didn't have Winnie ... I used this decoupage. Finished off with my signature gems.

A slimming box of chocolates ...
