Good Luck Card

Made this Good Luck card for my lovely friend Janey who starts her new job at the Beeb today! woop woop!! First time I've ever used a Gorjuss Girl image & I'm loving her - she's sooo pretty!!! Matched her colours to the Papermania paper I've used! Also used Making memories Jumbo blossoms & crystal brads! Also stamped the 'Good Luck' sentiment which is good going for me as I don't usually 'stamp'!!

Birthday Card

Here's another pocket card - this time for my friend's birthday! Loving this image and colour theme!

Xmas Cards - Non-traditional!

Here are a couple of Xmas cards I made a little while ago for the Crafty Place Christmas Card Challenge - haven't had a chance to post them before now!! The challenge was to make a Christmas card not using Red, Gold or Green - I first made the Green penguin one & then realised it was Green LOL! so made the Pink one too! The lovely Snowflake embellishments are courtesy of the lovely Craftygranny and OAP, the scalloped circle is courtesy of the lovely Flourgirl and papers are freebies from Funkyfairys and gorgeous penguin image is a freebie from Pollycraft

Anniversary card & Funky Fairys 'Black/White' Challenge card...

A double-pocket card using these instructions and papers downloaded from Funky Fairys! Created for my hubby as its our anniversary...

Pocket Card - this time for new babies! And this months MSE baby card challenge...

I made this card for a friend who recently had a beautiful little girl called Chloe - its very pink, pretty & girlie!! All made with backing papers & toppers downloaded from the internet and lovely scallop circles gratefully received from the lovely Flourgirl...

And a boy version I made for Mel who recently gave birth to gorgeous cutie-pie Elliot!! Also for this months MSE 'baby card' challenge!

Here's another pocket card - loving these at the moment!! Made this for Saveapenny when I sent her my entry for the Crafty Place 'Mystery Card' challenge - can't post photos of that yet until the challenge is complete and everyone has guessed who made which cards!!

Crafty Place July Swap 'Pocket' Card

Here is the first Pocket Card I made & this one is a 'double-pocket' card. It was for the Craft Place July Swap Challenge and now that Flourgirl has received it I can post it on here! I downloaded the backing paper from the internet & printed it out - I then used these instructions here & the embellishments were actually 'free' with a magazine! Although I have since found then as a download for the computer so will be able to use them again! I really thought that pocketcards were going to be difficult but they are a lot easier to make than you think! and now I'm addicted to them hahaha...

Look what I got in the post today...

Received this beautiful Pocket Card today from Flourgirl as part of the CP July Swap - thankyou so much!! Its lovely & had some hidden treasures for me!! Felt like it was my birthday or something!! Daren't ask if the treasures were made using a 'Cuttlebug' otherwise it might tempt me further to make a purrrchase!!!

thanks everso Flourgirl!!!

An 'extra' wedding pressie for our friends Nat & Jay

Boxed album:
Our friends Natalie & James got married on Saturday and it was a fantastically beautiful day!!! We were then invited to a bbq at their home on Sunday afternoon so after delicious smoked salmon & scrambled eggs at our hotel we dashed home Sunday morning slightly ragged around the edges (haha!) where I decided it would be nice to try and print off some of the photos we had taken at the wedding so they wouldn't have to wait til they got back from honeymoon! Hadn't quite envisaged how snap happy I had been at the wedding though!! haha! There were 912 photos!! EEK!! 300 had to be deleted so we put about 600 onto a disc for them & printed off about 20 & put them in a small album that I then personalised for them!
& Album inside - decorated & personalised!

MSE 'Furrypig' challenge

The challenge was set by Furrypig on MSE and it was to make a card using embossed paper & 'Thankyou' - I decided to combine it with my newly learn't technique of making pocket cards - this is only my second attempt at a pocket card (can't post photos of my first one yet until Flourgirl has received it!!) & my first using these particular instructions and I LOVE THEM! Will be making loads more!! As I needed to make a 'Wedding Party' acceptance card for some friends who are getting married in Cyprus later this year I thought I'd give it a go for that... and here are the results...
