80th Birthday

Hi there,
Today I had to design a card for my brother-in-laws uncle. My dear sister called and said she needed a card for an 80th birthday but she wanted an image of an old man bowling with a zimmer frame!!
What a tall order! "You can do it" she said "i'm not worried!!!"
So I got scribbling and played around for ages until I got this image. Any way I sent it off to her so hope she likes it cos i'm not going to make it again. HE HE!
What do you think?

I am entering it into

A Card for a friend

Hi,
Just thought I would post this card that I made for a friend's birthday this week. The pink backing paper is from a 6x6 pack -My Minds Eye. Cuttlebug Butterfly embossing folder, Stamping up spine punch, sentiment is from a very old Do Craft stamp. The Magnolia had an apron full of Hearts so I punched some flowers and stuck them on top. She was also coloured with pencils and blended with odourless spirit. Hope my friend liked it.

Valentines

Hello there,
Just thought I would show you a card I made for Do It With Digi's the Digi Divas Challenge for February - Valentines.

The image is a digital from Mo Mannings and is coloured with Promarkers and the Sentiment is one of Lynne's from - Sentiments For You. I cut a strip of card around the printed sentiment and trimmed off triangles to look like a tag, then made another one to lay opposite and distressed with Vintage Photo. Not sure where the red backing paper came from as I have had it in my stash for a long time.
Hope you like xx

Xmas Card No 3

Hi again
Here is my third card that my mum and I made.

We kept the background simple by just embossing with the Cuttlebug snowflakes folder and adding a little glitter here and there. Next we each die cut a Nestability Bauble and stamped the Magnolia. She was coloured with Promarkers and we distressed the outer edge with Antique Linen. Also stamping a small snowflake around randomly with the same ink. Not sure when i'm going to get time to make some more cards but we really did have a good time.

I hope you like it.

Christmas Card no 2

Hiya!
As I said the other day my mum and I were playing with our craft stuff and made our first three cards. Did I mention we had a giggle because if anyone Knows us, we are a pair of scatter brains togother. Anyway as promised here is our second card

With this card we coloured the Lily of the Valley Bear stamp with Promarkers and matted it on to a Square Nestability. We cut three sets of mini Pointsettias and daubered the petals with black ink, finishing the centers with punched steamens and amber gems. The background paper is from a Papermania pad.

I hope you like xx

Kick off to Christmas

Hello everyone,
Friday I invited my Mum over for a play date. It's not very often we get a chance to craft together as I'm always working or something or other. She only lives a five minute drive away and we talk on the telephone alot, even though hubby said it would be cheaper to go to her house!
Anyway we decided to make a start on our Christmas cards, I was teaching Mum some new techniques with Nestabilities. We had so much fun! and such a laugh because as the saying goes "Like Mother Like Daughter".
Here is the first card of three we managed to get done.

We stamped the magnolia and cut the circle nestability out of the same layer of one card. then we added a bit of gold glitter paper to make it look like a bauble. I hope you like it we did! I'll show you  another card later.xx
