A couple of cards at last



So much for having more time for blogging! Where does it go? I've been quite unwell for a couple of weeks but am feeling better now. Until today that is when I fell over not once but twice in my son's garden. I am battered & bruised down my left side & expect to feel a bit stiff & sore in the morning. I count myself very lucky that I didn't break anything not even my specs although they took a bit of a battering too- LOL. The brief for one card was shoes, handbag, pink & sparkly & the other is an Ollyphant stamp of a little boy. I love this image.

Well I tried some more...................


but I don't like what I've done!!! My slider card does slide although not as smoothly as Pam's but I do know why so the next one will work better. The theory is good & I like my flower but I have ink marks on the circle & no sentiment. No sentiment because it's not good enough to send & ink marks because I only cut 2 of that colour so thought it best to use this as it is just a sample.

After a lesson from a friend


I'm still no good at painting - LOL but thanks for trying Jackie. I had a lovely day on Friday when Pam & Jackie visited. we chatted, played with craft stuff & chatted some more. Both of them tried very hard to teach me stuff bless them & I still have to have a go at what Pam showed me but I will! In the meantime here is a card made with a Magnolia stamp. J I did try!!!

We've had


a few days away. We went to Yorkshire & what a wonderful time we had. The weather was absolutely beautiful so we managed a bit of walking. We also visited the National Railway Museum in York and did a little? bit of shopping LOL. I bought some new stamps & couldn't resist trying one of them as soon as we got home. As usual my photography is rubbish but I love the card I made. It does look better in real life.

Mother's Day Cards



The daffodil card was made from a sheet created for me by my dear friend Joanie from a photo I took the other day. I used Robert Addams 'Roses' CD and Dufex decoupage for the others. My favourite however is the simplest & was the easiest to make - the black & white flower one.
