Got The 'Bug'!

Yep - I had a marathon card making couple of days! lol

I just need to find out how to sell some now to recoup all the money I've spent on my 'stash'!

I will just post the pics of the cards as I don't think I can remember every little detail - but I did use my beloved 'Big Shot' quite a lot!

This first one I backed with hand made lavender paper which I placed a navy card on top then some lovely lilac flowers - don't know how I would get it in the envelope though! lol















This is a lovely 3D type flower that you have to bend the petals to create a real-life look and I was very pleased with the end result!





so there we have my latest collection - just think I need to make more for men though!

More Cards I've Made!

Well, have finally found the time to get on here and post again!  I have been busy making christmas cards and thought I'd put some of the ones I made on here.

Also I have made some for my favourite charity to auction off on their 'Spectacular After Christmas Auction' which is open for listing items right now, but bidding is on 15th January - last time I entered my cards, I was proud that one of my cards actually sold for £10! Others went at a more modest £3.50 and £2.50 which all went to help the charity! Have a look on their site here: ( www.rescueremedies.co.uk)

So here are the cards I've made.. 1st one is one I made for my youngest sister Janet who got married on 22nd October 2010 to Chris - can't believe it's taken me so long to put this on here!


Now here are some christmas cards I made - apologies for them being a bit dark!





Well there are a few - I've not bothered to put all the details of each one on here but thought you may like to see the pics of them!

Now here are the ones I've made for Rescue Remedies Auction:-

This is a stacker card set I'd bought and they are quite easy to do as you just layer the picture bit by bit until you end up with the smallest piece.














This is another stacking dog picture card that I placed within a shaped lilac cut out made with my brand new Big Shot machine!
Also the little tag at the bottom was made with it on striped paper.




Unfortunately, this one has come out a bit dark but is actually a pretty blue colour circle (cut by my Big Shot again) with a cute dog stacking picture in the middle.














Finally, I thought I'd update you on my gorgeous dog Chesney - he is remarkably good for his young age and really good tempered!  Here's a quick snap I took of him and Mike, who was selecting the cards I've made to send off before xmas! (Note the newly decorated wall behind them!)  lol
