Cupcake Birthday.

As promised I'm back again! Wanted to share this card as its the recipients Birthday today. Again using another LOTV image. I remembered I had these little cupcake stamps so wanted to use one on this card. The lady who received this card loves baking cakes, so I thought it was very appropriate for her :-) I hope you like it.

Better Late Than Never!

Hi. Been a couple of weeks since I last blogged, I'm sorry! Have been making cards so I do have a few to share with you over the next few days :-) Firstly, it was Hubbies Birthday at the end of January, so I made a card from me (the first one shown) and then one each for my sons to give him. The LOTV art pads came in handy for these. I don't know about anyone else, but I always struggle to make cards for men. Anyway, the images were great for these and saved the day (I was almost tempted to go out and buy his cards!!) My cards for men always seem to end up looking the same, but  they are hand made so at least the recipient knows that some thought has gone into them. Anyway, I hope you like them, and I will be back soon with another card.

A Great Day!

Hi. I am so pleased, proud and chuffed to bits!! Today has been a fab day. Firstly I received my GORGEOUS card from Sue Wilson, it is absolutely stunning - the pictures on the blog do not do her creations justice. Secondly, after waiting for the news since November, my son texted me from school to say he had passed his GCSE english exam with a grade C. Yay, I am over the moon for him and so proud. I couldn't stop smiling :-) Well done Luke! (Cant wait to give him a big hug) I dashed home after work and made this card for him. I hope you like it.

70th Birthday Card

Hi again. It's my Mums 70th Birthday on Monday and I made this card for my Dad to give her. I used some more of my winning Maja Design papers, a LOTV coloured image and sentiment stamps and Spellbinders dies. I still need to make her a card from me - left it a bit last minute I know! However, that is what I shall be doing tomorrow, along with starting a card for my Niece, whose Birthday is next weekend. Busy, Busy! Anyway, I hope you like this card.

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!
