Valentines & a voucher book!

I saw a video from Saturated Canary  and just had to use the idea within a card, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YTIyeWXrLw 

Kept playing with the hair on this image and was not happy at all with the result - i was having an off day with my promarkers!

Thanks for looking!!

I have a craft area!!!!

I have moved house a few weeks back and have been without a phone and the internet for 2 weeks (thank goodness for 3G and my iphone! I have still been able to peek at blogs I follow – it is just not as easy to navigate and comment so I have been slacking on commenting, and posting on my own blog.

Our house move was to a slightly larger house with a larger front room so I have ‘borrowed’ my daughters desk (which is frustratingly tiny – but beggars can’t be choosers) which has a few drawers but previously I had no area so I was always on the floor after dragging my craft stuff out from its corner.  AND…… hubby did talk about perhaps a strip light fixed to the wall to go with a new desk?!?!  Personally I am angling for some shelves as I am still working from boxes and bags as you can see from my images! We have lots of new jobs to do around the house before i get a dedicated craft area but I can now just sit and craft without having to move my stuff all around.

Sorry for not getting to comment on blogs, coops and pops especially I have been loving all of your cards and always make a point of reading up on your latest antics!

Babysitting token as a gift box - pic heavy

The brief was from a work colleague who wanted to give the offer of babysitting for 2 occasions to her neighbor who was getting married as they have said they do not want any presents.  I thought for a long time for what I could do that would meet this brief and decided to do a small gift box with a note/card inside from a tutorial that i found on youtube by Traceylovestoscrap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFv_sv-X3-E&list=UUlnG5G2u_DCRiqorN-iGHyA&index=13.

I used 1 ½” for the box depth instead of 1 ¾” so that I could use an A4 piece of card, after making this box following the tutorial I found out there was a metric conversion but it was too late by then!

I know that the couple getting married have a light pink colour theme for the flowers so I have tried to stick to these colours. 

Thank you for looking and I am so grateful when people take the time to comment so my thanks in advance to those who do!

Happy Birthday Laraine

It's a close work colleagues birthday next week so a quick card for the office girls to sign. I just love this image and wanted to buy it from the first time i saw it on coops blog. Can't link to it from my phone but well worth a look as it is one of my favourite blogs along with pops cards!!!

Any way to see if I can attach a pic via my phone!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Happy New Year to my few followers, i hope you all have a great 2013!! Fingers crossed this year i will be moving house in January and getting my wedding vow's renewed as it is my 10 year wedding anniversary this year.

I have a really C&S card today my dad recently moved and he told me his new neighbours had helped him out a lot so as i do not live near my Dad and could not help him myself i thought it would be a nice gesture to say thanks.

Thanks for looking!!!!

Image in a frame for a new neice

I made a 12" x 12" page for a friend of mine who commissioned me to make something appropriate for a new neice.  The image is not great but my frind sent it to me as my image is on my work pc!

Hope you like it!

Thanks for looking!
