Busy week

Hi
OK who took this week. I have no idea where it's gone or what I have done. Well I have been busy still looking for a job, in the mean time I have a second interview so I'm hopeful.
What did I do? I signed up as a demonstrator for Stampin Up ,hopefully the kit will be here soon I intend to have a monthly stampin up evening combined with a card craft club. Watch this space for more info.
Here a a couple of photos from recent projects:-

 This was an order for a car mad 18 year old girl, I hope she liked it .












I'm going to get some prep done for a set of wedding invites I have to do today. so for now B F N

Sizzex

I had a lovely call from Yvonne today ,she knows I'm looking at the bigshot pro by sizzex and wanted tell me about their clearance sale. So I had a look and it's fab loads of lovely dies heavily discounted. I think I will wait till I get the machine before I invest in any dies . Anyhow I enjoyed looking.

More photos, this is like the card I did for Yvonne's birthday.











Peeping around the flowers in the background is one of my baby name pictures I'll post on that another time.

Alicraft club

Hi Everyone.
I had a lovely but very busy day yesterday at Ali's club. I didn't get much time to catch up with everyone but did enjoy doing the demo with you, I hope you all enjoyed it to. I've added a couple of photos, they look a bit odd but you know what they are anyway.

Drink can toppers, funky foam flower,
don't forget to laminate your graph paper before you use it.

   Debbie Moore card topper on the card base, the ribbon is from Crafty Notions (some time ago) I think they have something like this on C&C currently.











I've been trying to catch up with other jobs today, but guess what I keep finding myself in the craft room. Surprise! Surprise!
Bye for now Hugs

stressful day

Hi I have been very stressed today 2 job interviews in one day and no answers yet. Will it be yes will it be no?

OK how to keep sane is get back in the craft room, I'm doing prep for Saturdays Ali craft club, problem is I have so many ideas its which one do I choose.

Last night to divert my mind a bit I set about making a card for my Dad to say thank you for being there, Its also a little bit about remembrance.

I used Sheena Douglas paint fusion poppy stamps and pro markers. I'm quite pleased with it.










I also used the poppy stamp to create a background
 on the base card then embossed with gold detail
 embossing powder, and  a little red bow to set it off.










OK sanity restored .

I've had another try at taking a few photos, these are things that I did a little time ago, and show some more of the type of project I like to do. See what you think? 

 I have used various stamps and some lovely papers from crafty individuals in the cards, simple techniques  but they look effective.

 Each card has it's own mini pizza box to keep it from being squashed.

I try to find new ideas to keep up with my daughters demands, they're both in there twenties so I try to keep it light and fun. These a popular with them currently.

I love all card making and paper crafting and have had a lot of pleasure looking around lots of blogs  and decided to give it a go.
For now I'm just going to try adding a few photos, I'm going to have to get much better at taking photos these are just OK, more learning all good fun!

 This is a Wedding card that I have been working on it has a lot of depth 1.5" I send these out in a matching box,This is great to personalize to match the wedding colours and the names and details of the bride and groom.

This was a plain pink mdf  wall hanging that I altered using some fab papers, then decorated with butterflys, for my little niece Sophie on here 1st birthday it went down well with her Mum, and I loved doing it, that's what it's all about.

OK so that's my first try more to follow soon ,
