Plain and simple

It's 5.30 in the morning and can't get to sleep again so decided to rise and make myself a cup of tea.   Very bleak outside, raining and cold.
This card was made for a lady who was 70 but did not want the number on any of her cards. Gosh it's only a number! The ribbon, flower stamps, coloured card are all from Stamping Up. Have used this design before but tried it in a different colour and find it looks  much warmer.

Does my bum look big in this.

The weather has gone to pot again so feel more like making cards than doing housework so here I am with another card.  This was made for my friend who once was told she had a volumptuous bottom so couldn't resist using this stamp. Not that I am inferring that she has a bottom like an elephant!

Am so looking forward to Debbie's class next Saturday so that I can get more tips using promarkers. Need a lot of practice.   Most of the stuff I have used were bought at Elgin and never remember to keep a note of what I use, so that's not much use, is it?

70th Birthday

My visits to my blog are few and far between but here I am again on a lovely sunny day.  Just back from a long walk and feeling quite exhausted.
This is a card I made for a friend to her friend. As usual am pretty vague with all the materials used as I  never keep wrappings.  The papers are from a 6x6 pad which I bought in Elgin as were the little flowers, the swirl is from a nestie set and this is the first time I have used it. The ribbon is recycled and the gems are from my multiplying stash.

Just for you

Another cold day up in the frozen north. Had a lovely day with my grandkids, we played joker, jenga, made things with wire, painted our eggs and then went and rolled them. Will have them again tomorrow so will have to think about something else to do - they do like having a look through my stamps and stamping.  
This card was made for a lady who has just had a stay in hospital.

Q~uite plain and simple papermania papers, nestie die, image from lotv - glittered the card to give it some life too.

Best of friends

A friend asked if I would make a card for her daughter and she wanted a photo of a dog and her g-daughter and this is what I came up with. The dog image was a download and all the papers used were in my stash and had forgotten to keep the names! Not very organised at all.

sapphire wedding

Gosh I haven't posted since December, just where does the time go to. Not been making much cards at all as the brain cells wouldn't work.  Not saying they are working yet but at least I am back at it again!

This was a card I made for a friend who celebrated their sapphire wedding.  The frame stamp was one I bought at the show in Glasgow and managed to fit another stamp inside it for the message. Can't remember the name of the heart embossing folder, but I really like this one, Finished it off with heart embellishment and ribbon, all from my stash, the flowers are from Wild Orchard.

Fun Run

Gosh excelling myself this week, blogging two days in a week.  Not much further on with the xmas cards so it doesn't look as though I will be able to make 60 cards before the 25th, had these all done last year in record time, I have however got the bought ones all addressed and ready to post.  The year has passed so quickly and unfortunately next year I will be in another age bracket, so not looking forward to that.

The card today was made for a friend for her son.   The image is a download and the rest is from my stash of papers etc.
