Get well card.

Over on the card making forum on MSE one of the lovely ladies is in Hospital at the moment, so Rainmac set the challenge of a Get Well Card for her to help cheer her up. Here is my attempt -


Since looking at this though - might put 3 card candy circles in the top left - not sure if its missing something?? Will have a little think before I post it - lol x

HYXGT??

It's nearly finished - just the rest of the back stitching to do:



I was thinking I wont have anything to do once this has finished - tempted to buy a bigger kit - gulp, ah but saved, need one more alphabet letter for a teacher - as when I was doing the others realised we didnt know her initial!! So, will just have a nosy through my magazines, to see if I can find something cute x

Trying something new.

Hi, well tonight I thought I would have a go at making a different type of card - I thought I knew where to find the instructions, but couldn't so had a little go at making my own. It was fairly easy, but really need to learn not to rush things - just take my time!! Anyway - here is my first attempt:

Closed:




Open:



The weather was really strange today - one minute we had bright sunshine - so you would think great lets go out - by the time you had coats on it was pouring down!!! So, made a card for a friend who is expecting a little girl in September (gosh - I hope her scan is correct - lol):


I think just to be on the safe side I will make a boy one as well!!

Hope you enjoyed the Bank Holiday and had better weather than us! xx

Padsters B Challenge.

Over on MSE padster set the challenge of I spy 3 things with B. Well, I have made my challenge card with some quite tenuous links here is my card:



On my card Blank, I have Bright Red card, with Bug Backing paper , followed by Blue card with a Bug in a Bubble Bath and a Button in the corner - erm cant think of anything else - lol - thanks for the challenge xx

HYXGT??

Hi, I have missed a couple of weeks of HYXGT (Hows your cross-stitch going Tuesday) but have got another little project on the go, being the freebie from Cross stitcher magazine - however, I seem to have got a duff bundle with lots of one colour and not many of others, but my replacement kit has arrived today so I will be able to finish some of the bits I had to miss, so here is my little hedgehog so far:

Today, postie also brought me my card swap that had been arranged over Crafty Place (the theme was green/lilac) - here is the lovely card I received from Myz:



This is the card I sent Myz:




Thanks Myz, your card is lovely & thank you for the little images xx

Thank you cards.

Well, there was I thinking, how organised am I getting my cross stitch done for the teachers end of school year pressies, and had completely forgotten about Thank you cards - how dozy can you get??? That was until I popped onto Rainmacs Place, where Sarah had posted a pic of a card she has done for her sons teacher. Luckily Sarah had sent me some gorgeous papers and images and one was the same she had used - so I am sorry, but I have shamelessly pinched your image and made 2 easel cards for my youngest (he has two teachers who job share). However, my eldest thought with the wings it was a bit "teachers pet" - hmm what does he mean - is he not an angel at school???? So I gave him my box of stamped images and let him choose his image so I could make a card - below is a pic. of the finished cards:




Hope they like them.

I would like to enter the easel cards into Creative Craft world challenge no. 5

Friday night out!

Friday just gone, I had a great night visiting Angela from Sparkly Cards blog. She is a Stampin up demonstrator and was holding her first Card Class. Angela showed us how to make a box as well as making four cards. Angela, makes some really beautiful things and some of her cards were on display and they were all gorgeous. Here is a pic. of my makes:



Thanks Angela for a great night - and sharing your tips.
