Remember When series.

I don't really do decoupage, but when I saw this "Remember When" range from La Pashe, I thought they were so different, and I bought a few of them. They all come in sepia or coloured, and are really easy to do... very relaxing!
The bakers....

The horse...

The garden...

The Bar...

The Footie Match...

My little helpers....

Thought I would show you my little crafty helpers... well, I say helper, but maybe Vincent (who was asleep on the windowseat as I was crafting on Wednesday,) got a bit tired when he saw all the stuff I had out on the table. ....


And this is my Lily.... good as gold, and always wanting to be in on the action! Hubby calls her my shadow. She sleeps on me every night. As you can see, I was trying to do a bit of sewing!!!!

Easter holidays!!

Yeah! It's Easter holidays! 2 whole weeks of not working!!!! :) I was having a play last night and came up with this card, which I liked and decided to use it as as basis for some more cards based on this design. I cut the scallops with my scallop edge scissors and doodled on the card, as well as chalking the edges, and I added a watering can by "Debbie Mumm."


I had forgotten I had these stamps from a Q.V.C set I bought last year. They are small and round, and have a couple of different messages on them. I made them into the centre of each flower and used paper flowers underneath, for the petals. I handcut and chalked the stem and leaves, aswell as chalking the edges of the paper to give a bit of "depth."

I have made this thankyou card for a neigbour of ours.... they are an eldery couple and they always bring our bin up to our back gate, after the binmen have been, and we are still at work. I'm going to take them a little bunch of flowers too. Hope they like it.....

These are the last couple of cards I have made with my "love" stamp... and more pink petticoat papers!

My new stamp

I bought a new stamp a couple of weekends ago - at a car boot sale! I bought it for £2.00 and knew it would look lovely... especially when I teamed it with my papers from Pink Petticoat and the bracket stamps from a Q.V.C set I bought aggges ago! I loved these papers so much, that I didn't want to hide too much of them...

I just added some organza ribbon and a congrats stamp (from the Q.V.C. set) with a bit of matting and layering. ....



A lovely classy paper from Pink Petticoat, simply matted with a length of organza ribbon and my new stamp has been mounted on foam pads....



This card is made using the cuttlebug birds embossing folder, a cuttlebug diecut corner and a homemade stamp! yes!!! I made the stamp myself! (with help of hubby) when I bought a set called IMAGE-PAC. I haven't had a play with the pack for a while, but may try again over the Easter hols. Liquid pearls used, also.

Another gorgeous paper from Pink Petticoat... matted on dark red. Stamps as before, and a touch of liquid pearls. Thanks for looking! xx

March cards.

This is the card I made for my Mum for mothers day. It's a Debbie Mumm image and border. Mum loves that designer and all her work! It a really lovely colourful card in real life.



For Hubbys Mum, I made this card. Again, another Debie Mumm image. I love this picture. I picked out some of the flowers with my glossy accents, and added a ribbon and a butterfly.



You guessed it...another Debbie Mumm image! This is a background paper, but I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I cut out a heart and decoupaged it ontop, as well as adding a tied ribbon. Simple, but I like it.

This paper is sooo cute! It's from the dovecraft range...and only needed matting, and a simple flower (attatched with a baby pink eyelet with my big bite) and a litle play with my scallop scissors and my big bite again.

I love the "Remember When" series from La Pasche, and bought some of the series recently. Thought it would make a change to just use half a sheet to create this retirement card, on an A6 card. The spade, barrel, cabbage and rhubarb leaf are decoupaged. Thanks for looking!!!

Thankyou!

A very good friend of mine, invited me to her party.... but sadly I can't go. So, I made her this card to say sorry and thankyou.... and I made her a black and white heart. (sewed with my own fair hands) - but I forgot to get a photo of that! :( (The theme of her party is black and white) xx
