Friend Card

Evening all, hope you've all had a good day. Apologies again to those of you who have tried to sign up on here but have been unable to ... darn new fangled computer thingummies!
Anyway, for those who haven't fallen asleep yet, I've been busy today making a lot of cards for a friend who is leaving her job and wanted personalised cards for each of her colleagues featuring whatever their hobbies were. One of them loved pigs so found a fab photo of 3 little piglets who were definitely posing for the camera, well they are vey intelligent so I understand.I went on to make a 'Friend' card with my new best friend Jiminey Cricut, this is the result:






It is really pretty again, as most of my cards tend to be, I try to do something plainer and more minimalist but always end up with one of my 'Lovelies' as I've begun calling them. You've got to worry about someone who gives their cards names now haven't you?!
I didn't get around to my photo shoot with Big Ted so will have to get on to that tomorrow, I thought I'd put some links on here to some of my favourite crafting sites too for anyone that's interested, also found You Tube to be an absolute mine of information for tutorials...who ever knew?! Take care all and catch you soon. P.S. Thank you so much to those of you who have kindly signed on as fans on Facebook, as I said autographed photo's will be available shortly...hee hee.

Puppy Card

Hi all!

Thank you to the new followers, it's great to see you and hi to Teresa in the USA!
Well have been having a play again with my Cricut machine (pronounced Crickut) and I love, love love it! I still only know the basics but what fun...I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to lose track of time completely and forget all about housework and cooking!
I made several cards and this one I put into the Folksy shop. It's a personalised photo card using customers own photo, this one features the cutest puppy ever, Little Louis, as a sample card



I used Jiminey (ie the name I gave the crickut) to cut the scallopped squares, the flowers, and the tags at the top. Some of it was a bit fiddly and took a bit longer than usual but I think it all goes together okay. I know it may be a bit busy for some but all the soft pinks and greens go well together and again, gotta have a bit of bling to finish off! Pet photo's will work well but any subject really as long as it's a reasonable quality picture.
Next project a Get Well card for the Ted Range so have to have a photo shoot tomorrow with my old 'Big Ted' sporting bandages. Yes, I know ... I've got to get out more!! Bye for now.

Black & White Bag card

I just posted a long ramble and managed to delete it before posting so apologies that this will be short! I've had a busy couple of days making cards for Folksy and to special order. I made this one as an experiment with some pretty new paper and liked it so much I've put it in the shop. It's black and white with crisp clean lines and I thought suitable for all ages. The little mini handbag is so sweet and a satin bow just finishes off the girlie look! May make some in other colours, we'll see how this one goes but I have some pretty pink and purple handbags just waiting to be used....can't beat a bit o' bling!
