My Grandmas Birthday card




I used HOTP papers from a TSV from QVC last year. The happy birthday and corner stamps came in the same set too. I used liquid pearls in the centre of each flower, and along the bottom. Not sure if I need the word "Grandma" on it, but I don't know how to get the word in the same style to fit the card, or where it would look best.

Love....


I used these images ober the weekend as I thought they would look lovely on a very simple card for an anniversary, engagement or love card. On the anniversary card, I decoupaged the heart inbetween the birds, and added glossy accents. I hand-wrote each of the sentiments and added a little liquid pearls. xx

First Birthday



My friends little girl has had her first birthday today - and we went round for a little party on the weekend. This is the card I made for her. She is a real "little girl" and i wanted it to have pink on and a teddy. They loved this card. I used glossy sccents on the flowers in the corners, and the heart and the bees. (you can't really tell in the piccie though) xx

..by my lovely friend Deb (who I need to say a HUGE CONRATS too, for becoming a design team member at Poppicrafts...you go girl!!!!! x ) and a new friend... Michele. HI michele! I havent seen Micheles blog before, but she must have seen mine as has tageed me, so I will keep a watch on her blog, now I know its there :)

Anyway... The rules are:
1. Link your tagger and list the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some wierd.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

OK...
1. Ionce came runner up in a McDonalds colouring competetion (I was about 7) and won loads of Maccas goodies.
2. I still remember (from primary school) the correct order in which all the books of the old testament (from the bible) come in. (!!!)
3. Whenever Hubby and I are in a lift or on an escalator, we always have a quick kiss. (just a peck!)
4. I used to paint childrens murals in my spare time - summer hols etc, and would love to start up again.
5. I am totally completely and utterly phobic of needles.
6. I have bought half of my christmas presies already - but not made one single christmas card! ;( (yet)
7. I love to get up early on a weekend and go car booting with Hubby.

Well, thats me! I now have to pass this onto 7 others....seems a lot of ppl have done this tag though so I dont think I shall quite reach 7. Let me see....

Remember this....



...is the name of the decoupage sheets I have used to make this card. I haven't really done much decoupage before, but I really like this range of sheets - especially for men and for older ppl that can remember those times! (no offence to anyone who can remember!!) :)

I made this for hubbys dad who is 70 in a couple of weeks (he was also a miner in his younger days). I always find mens card difficult to make, esp dads. :) If you like decoupage or like something a bit different, I would thoroughly recommend these sheets... straightforward to do and effective, I think!?! Thanks for looking. xx

Not made a card for ages, so....


thought I would make a nice one for my m.i.l birthday this weekend. Wow.... it was difficult! I spent wed night, thurs night , a little of fri night and sat morning making this card. I just had no inspiration and din't know what to do! I ended up using lilac Pink Petticoat paper and also their buttermilk spotty paper, a penny black sticker (never used any of these images before, but I love the hedgehogs!) a flower I bought for 4p (ok, i bought quite a few of them at that price!!) while on hols in cornwall this summer, and the letters and numbers are cut from the cuttlebug hippiechick alphabet which I cut on my big shot. Hope she likes it when she opens the card!
