A simple ...


... thank you card. Again from my Create and Craft kit, as I appear to have mislaid my one and only brain cell, and can't come up with anything original. I have added some organza ribbon, a jewel slider and some gems. Hope you like it!

Wedding Cards ...




... going to Italy for a friends son. Just for a change (NOT) both these cards have been done on the Glitter Girls boards ... the Celebration board (A6) and Open Hearts and Tall Stories (A5 - two layers). The colour scheme is to fit in with dresses.

Card ...


... from my Create and Craft kit I bought last year. Needed a simple card, so hope this fits the bill. Added gems and organza ribbon to enhance it. Have been rough over the last few days again ... but have made a couple of cards, which I will put up next week, after the wedding.

Chrissie gave me an award ...


.... about a week or so ago, but because I haven't been well, I completely forgot about it. So have sent many apologies to Chrissie for not putting this up before. It is really lovely to be given an award, and so precious. So many thanks again Chrissie.

Wedding thank you ...


... for being invited to the Reception, so I thought I would make this quick card from the kit I got last year from Create and Craft. Hope you like it!

Congratulations ...


... card. I have been trying to make this card for a while, but wasn't sure what I wanted! So inspiration finally struck, and this was the result. Wizard scalloped squares, flowers from the Glitter Girls Majestic board, and leaves from the Bookatrix. Ribbon and slider, gems and peel-off to complete this A5 card.

Tartan Wedding card ...


... we have been invited to a wedding reception, so thought I ought to make a card for the bride and groom. Don't know them very well, but thought I would do something a bit different!!!
This is my first card for over a week, as I haven't been feeling at all well, been in a lot of pain with fibromyalgia!!

Different Exploding Box ...











... for an anniversary. This was commission from a Mum and Dad to their daughter and husband. Made this slightly differently.

Anniversay Exploding Box ...



... requested especially by the customer for her cousin as she had seen one I had made before. I find these difficult to photograph anyway, but mirri card added to the problem!

Commissioned Man's Card ...



... requested by my AJ (Aunt Joan) as she couldn't find the card she wanted for a man (who just happens to be my Dad!!!). One is an A6 card is made using an image from Joanna Sheen's Egyptian CD, and backing paper from Dancing With Shadows. The picture is matted onto silver mirri card, finished off with buttons and peel-offs. The other is also A6 with an image and backing sheet from Joanna Sheen's Dancing With Shadows CD. Finished with 3 gems. I couldn't make up my mind which one to send, so decided I would send them both to AJ and she can make the decision!!!

This is a special ...


... thank you, to a very special person who has given me invaluable help and advice recently. The image and backing papers are from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD. Finished off with an acetate perfume bottle, two Wizard corners and some peel-offs.
