Card with a difference

Ok just a quick post my mum came the other day and wanted a card for her friend.

It for a couple who's birthday's are on the same day,

that's not all they got married on the same day as well.

Oh what could I make had to be quick as she was waiting for it.

I used a file I had made in Cricut Design studio.

I hadn't tested it so it was fingers crossed it worked.

Phew it did and I was pleased with the out come.

I have made a few little changed now.

I used my Gel pens to do the writing I just love them and there so easy to use. I snapped a quick photo before it went to share with you all.

Well this is may card I was trying to make at Cricut Club on Saturday but never managed to get it finished.

I thought as I have now managed to finish it I would share it with you all, due to lots of requests!!!!

I made a card at Clare's (Cloudnine crafts) on one of my Thursday night visits. I loved it and wanted to make a card with what I had, as I didn't have the die cutters we used. As much as I would have like them, we can't have everything !!!

I hope you like it as much a I do, it was great fun even if it took me long enough to get it done. Why are days so short, there's never enough hours to do everything.

Well best get on as I have a few more things to finish and share with you all.

So bye for now back soon !!! watch this space !!!

Donna I'm going to surprise you again how will you heart ever cope with my posting!! lol

Mojo Monday 164 -Snowman

YEAH I back again I know two days in a row but don't get excited I can't keep it up !!!!! lol

This is my first attempted at a sketch challenge so lets hope I did it right, I tried my best.

I love this snowman stamp, used with my scalloped oval and oval nestie for the centre. The sentiment is from my Papermania stamp set and the SU punch. The papers are some trimcraft papers I had which I haven't used as they are so pretty, just liked to stroke them but as there was a couple of pieces, I could use one and still have one to keep !!! lol The distress ink came out to soften the edges of the pink card, with a little stitching down the edge, and blue organza ribbon to finish. Here the link for the challenge http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2010/11/mojo-monday-164.html

Challenge 17 - Easel Cracker card

Morning everyone well , "now don't fall off your chairs", I have made a card for another challenge. This time the challenge was to make an easel card. I put on my thinking hat and thought Cricut design studio what can I make. Ummm as I played my mind was ticking and I thought cracker easel card would be great, right a cracker it will be, so here is the result. Sorry it's short and sweet but time was running out of time, kids need to go to school, jobs jobs and more jobs to do !!!!!

Snowman - G is for Glitter on ABC challenge

Well I know I haven't been on for a long time but I'm back with a one of my Christmas cards. I made this lovely snowman card with the super cute Tilda Snowman I got from the lovely Clare at cloudnine crafts. We did a fab evening class and made a card in this shape, I just couldn't wait to get going and make another with a different design. It's such a great shaped card. I have been very brave and entered it in the challenge over on ABC Challenge, G is for glitter. I have used my new wonderful Martha Stewart Snowflake punch down the side with glitter stands sprinkled on to sparkle them up. It looks much better in real life and it looks like crystals. I'll never get a job as a photographer, but try my best !!! lol I have used my ever growing promaker collection to colour him in, adding some glitter on his hat trim and again on the snowflake he is holding, little bit of distressing Ink around the edge.

I used a lovely padded Merry Christmas ribbon I had to add a bit of squidgyness (that's a new word) to it. Well thanks for dropping by and having a look hope you enjoyed looking as much as I did making it.
