I think it's an obsession!!






...See what I mean? I really love those american style ones at the top. The pink one which has chocolates and cakes all over it, is for my neice. She is 5 soon and loves all the bags I create...she picks a differnt one each week, to sling over her arm, to take (with Nana) to the library to carry her books back. She is such a CUTIE!!! xx

More bags......





Well, you know me...I just love doing these bags and everytime I find some fabric I love, I just can't help myself...think it's becoming an addiction!! xx

American folk-art cards





I have been having a play with some new images I have...they have quite an american feel to them I think. For the first go with some of then, I have simply inked the edge and popped them onto card...with a little glossy accents on the hearts or apples or flowers. There's room on the fourth card (with the house on) for a greeting, but haven't decided what that's going to be, yet. xx

Ooops!!!



I forgot my Mum and Dads anniversary at the beginning of the month, and felt awful! So I made this little card up for them,...showing what I think is an american / canadian image of a happy home and cat. (Just like my mum and dads house!) They loved it. xx

Sunflowers...Get well soon!



A friend of mine has been a bit poorly recently, so thought I would try to cheer her up by sending her this simple card I made ... with a photo I took!!! I took this at the Eden Project in Cornwall, and am very impressed with this pic as this was the first one I took with the new camera we had just bought!! I embossed around the edge, near the photo, with my shapeboss (I don't have a straight line on the stencils...I use the edge of the board. Difficult!!) ....though I am sure there must be an easier way! Any suggestions greatfully recieved. xx

Thankyou!



I wanted to send the owners of the guesthouse we stayed in last week, in Cornwall, a thsnkyou card cos we had such a lovely time and they were great - so helpful and friendly. I bought Scott a new camera for his birthday while we were away, and we walked the 5 mins to Porth beach on the last night we were there, and took picyures of the sunset. So wehn we got home and printed them off, i thought that would be an appropriate image on the front of a very simple card. xx

Just a quick thankyou...



To Deb, who sent me this award way back at the beginning of the summer hols, when I wasn't well and couldnt't muster the energy to even make my hubbys birthday card, let alone anything else. Thankyou to Deb for sending me this...I see just about everyone has this featured on thier blogs now, so I will say if you are looking here and don't have it, take it form me, with love. xx
