First Christmas

Cards today for a baby girl's and boy's First Christmas.

Getting Started!

Thought I'd better get on with some Christmas cards. Here are a few to be going on with!

50 Today

Don't know why 50 and ties crossed my mind today!

Triple Stamping

Hi, long time no see!!!
Here's my first attempt at triple stamping, after seeing a tutorial last night on You Tube. Tried to keep it clean and simple!

Butterfly Pansies

When is a butterfly not a butterfly?....When it's a pansy, of course! Here's my latest addiction - making pansies with a butterfly punch!

A Glamorous Birthday

Loved this image and thought it was perfect for a girlie 50th Birthday!
Been really busy this week getting ready for a Fayre last Saturday, but whether it was because of the weather or tennis, whatever, it wasn't busy, a bit of a disappointment.
Andy's Graduation was yesterday, we had a great day even though the weather was awful. I'll post pictures when I'm more organised.
Off to Canada tomorrow, can't wait!

See you all soon! x

Table Plan

Here's the table plan I made for the last wedding I made the stationery for. It was put on an easel in the hotel. Also one of the table numbers.

Nappy Card

I'm going through a phase of novelty cards just now! Here's my latest, a nappy card - the nappy makes a little pocket for the tag inside.

Film Buff Cards

Today's cards are commissions for Phantom and Twilight fans. I cut out the piano keys and stuck them on individually, but next time I'd just cut one piece of card and draw thin black lines down it for the keys!
I cannot believe how hard the rain is coming down just now - June? More like February!

Baby Dolphin

A commission for a new baby card from a guy who's a big fan of the Miami Dolphins! The onesie was cut on my eCraft machine which I'm just beginning to get to grips with!

Silver Wedding Card

Today's card is a commission for a couple who like cats and work with figures, hence the numbers tumbling downthe sides! Thought I'd make some bunting as it's very "in" just now! The lady also plays the piano, so inside I printed some music from the number 1 song when they got married!

One Stamp, 3 Different Looks

Been playing with Imagination Crafts decoupage stamps at the weekend. Love this one with the dragonflies, Had fun experimenting with different colours. I used the Big and Juicy ink pads.

Nephews

This is a commission for a lady from her 2 little nephews. I thought this image from Faye Whitaker just fits the bill perfectly!

Weddings

Some more wedding invitations ready to go!

Dexter

Cameron's card, mark 2!!! This is more like Dexter, hope Cameron had a great first birthday!

Oskar's Naming Day

A card for my friend's little grandson, Oskar's naming day in Sweden next week. She cried when she read the verse inside!

May beauty delight you and happiness uplift you,



May wonder fulfill you and love surround you.


May your step be steady and your arm be strong,


May your heart be peaceful and your word be true.


May you seek to learn, may you learn to live.


May you live to love, and may you love - always.

Retirement Cards

Yay! Last day of term today, and it's sunny! Some retirement cards for men today.

Pussy Cat mark 1

Made this for a friend's little boy, then discovered their cat is black and white! lol

Off to the Zoo

Happy First Birthday to Callum who was off on his first trip to the zoo for his birthday!

New Babies

Congratulations to my good friends, Elaine and Robert on the birth of their first granddaughter, Macie! Also to Aileen and Kenny who had Grandson Aedan.

Wedding Butterflies

Wow, another gorgeous warm day - and at the weekend too!
here is my latest wedding collection. This time the bride wanted a simple single card for their invitations, with purple butterflies as her wedding theme.

Birthday Cards

Here are all the beautiful birthday cards I received from my crafty friends. What a talented bunch you are! Thanks, ladies! x

Mother's Day

These are the cards I made with my class of 6 year olds this year. They wrote their greeting on the back of the flower tag and then popped an After Eight chocolate into the pot! Home Mums liked them today - if they remembered to take them out of their bags! lol

Another Clarity Day!

Playing again with my brayer and some Clarity stamps, this appeals to my dreamy nature!

Leafy Swirl

Playing with Barbara's stamps today and feeling a bit spring like here!

MBE Time

This was for a lady on the Isle of Arran who recently received an MBE for her services to the Scottish Car Ambulance service. She has dedicated many years to helping people get to hospital appointments both on the island and getting them over to the mainland. Well done Margaret!

Saying Goodbye

I made these two cards for a little girl and her brother who were leaving our school today. We'll miss them both! Thanks for looking.

Tuesday Truckin'

Wanted a retro feel to this card, loved the warm shades on the bp.
Thanks for looking. x

100 Today!

I made this for a colleague's Grandma'a 100th Birthday. She loves cats and I wanted to give the card a vintage feel with this K & Co paper.

Sketchy Lady

This is one of my favourite stamps from Clarity, I have made her in many colours. Here she is in pink.

Pair of Tildas!

Same but different - a pair of Tildas today. Haven't used Tilda for a while and had a couple of spare ones after my wee thank you cards the other day so had a wee play. It's another drab, dark day here but we had a wee glimmer of sunshine this morning with the news that my friend Anne has a new Grandson today. Congratulations Jane and Brian on the birth of baby Callum!
