LOTV cards.

Hi. Today I'd like to share two Birthday cards I made. Both using images from the LOTV art pads. I love these pads as they are so useful - my colouring technique is not so good, so I use these pre-coloured images alot, and wouldn't be without them! The first card was nice and simple, adding a LOTV circular stamped sentiment and using Heartfelt Creations papers. For the second card I die cut around the balloons on the image (a technique I hadn't tried before), and was quite pleased how it turned out. I used some of my lovely Maja Design papers, the LOTV sentiment and Memory Box number dies. The flowers are from a punch. I can't decide whether I have over done it with the pearls though!? Hope you like them.

Beautiful Maja Design Papers

Hi. I would like to share a card with you which I made using some beautiful Maja Design papers. I actually won this set of papers in a Facebook competition on Live and Love Crafts Facebook page. I was absolutely delighted to have been picked as I have always loved the look of the papers, but they are not easy to buy locally. I wanted to make good use of the beautiful designs so used four different designs from this collection to make this simple card. I hope you like it. Will be using some more of these papers soon so be sure to stop by and check them out!

Favourite Five Christmas Cards.

Hi. I hope you all had a great Christmas, and enjoyed the festivities with family and friends. Can't believe its all over so quickly.....! I know I didn't really make that many Christmas cards this year (not as many as previous years anyway) but I would still like to share with you my favourite five which were the ones I was most pleased with how they turned out. I hope you like them too. Thanks for stopping by, and if I don't blog before Thursday then I wish you a Happy New Year.

More Christmas Cards.

Hello again. Here are a couple more Christmas cards I have made over the last few weeks. The first one using a LOTV art pad image and the second using up some bits of paper I had which were too nice to not do anything with! I hope you like them. Also, if you're on Facebook I have a page there too - www.facebook.com/SoniaJaneCreations so be sure to check it out and I'd be honoured if you gave me the 'thumbs up' and liked my page. Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards.

Hi. Wow, how time flies..... I didn't realise how long its been since I have posted on here (sorry). I have been crafting, not as much as I'd like but have been busy with other things. Anyway thought I'd share some Christmas cards. Firstly, are the ones I made for my parents to give to each other. On the first one for my Dad to give to my Mum I have used a LOTV image. The dies are from Spellbinders, La-La Land, Magnolia Doohickeys and Joy Crafts.

This second card, for my Mum to give to my Dad uses stamps from Inkyliscious and Spellbinders dies.

Apologies for the quality of this photo - the light was pretty poor! I hope you like them, I always try to do something a little more special for these cards and I am rather pleased with them. Thanks for stopping by.

Love, Love, Love the Red Arrows.

Hi. I'm back today with a different kind of post. No crafting in the last few days, as have been busy with other things - sorting out a new car, as my faithful old Daewoo Lanos failed its MOT and was beyond repair :-( The last two weeks have been the Farnborough International Airshow and living close to Farnborough we had the great advantage of being able to view the planes from our home (binoculars needed, but still a good view). Imagine my delight when I saw the Red Arrows. Love these guys, they are amazing and never fail to impress. Yes, I tried photographing them - among other planes during the 2 weeks - but without much success, so decided not to keep trying and to just enjoy them instead! Besides, as my Hubby said, I have some fantastic photos of them taken 5 years ago at Swanage Regatta - which I am very proud of, so I thought I would share a few of them on here. Hope you like them, and I will be back to crafting soon.
