tilda wedding set

This is what I made for Laura to give to her teacher for her wedding on 5th August. After seeing a clock made up with a wedding image at Doncaster summer craft show, I was inspired lol. I used a Tilda image for the clock, easel envelope card and box, coloured with promarkers, papers are pink petticoat 'Vintage Rose' collection, flowers, gems, peel offs, lace and ribbons all from my stash

I have to apologise for the poor light and quality on the pictures - my camera was having a tantrum and at nearly 1am I wasn't arguing with it lol

The card

The Clock

The box

I've not been in much of a crafting frame of mind for a couple of months, so when I got told Laura's form teacher is getting married on 5th August and Laura wanted a card big enough for the whole of the class to sign I hadn't a clue where to start lol. I wanted something big enough to sign, but nothing over the top so I used one of the 'flippin' aperture cards, put a piece of illusion mesh in the apperture backed with gold mirror card, I love the illusion effect. The image is a free download from a magazine - i think it was papercraft inspirations, but not sure, just added a bit of glitter and some gems, then finished the card with lace, ribbon and peel offs from my stash :)

Blue and....... purple

This was made for a swap on a yahoo group I belong to with the theme 'blue and .... another colour' so me being me, opted for purple :)
Image is another of the gorgeous adorables from Sugar Nellie coloured with promarkers, I absolutely love these images, they're beautiful. Papers are a selection from stash, used the cuttlebug 'rose' embossing folder for the blue background then used a Martha Stewart punch along the bottom and added some little gems to the flower centres. Swirls were cut from one of my sizzix dies then embossed and gems added. Flowers and butterfly were from my stash, but had to glitter the flowers with stickles of course, and the butterfly is coloured with promarkers to make it blend in a bit better as it was too pale lol.

Amy's birthday card

Hazel asked me to make a card for her friend Amy who was 14 last week - she said to do something in purple and black - the kind of thing Hazel would like lol. Well, straight off thought of the Kenny K images :) Coloured the image with promarkers, printed off purple & black papers - think they're from crafty cardmaking and Shabby Princess but can't remember exactly. Cut the circles and flowers from matching card, added some gems, glitter and a little charm.... and away we go lol. Apparently its the best card Amy's seen and she's keeping it forever lol - wish all teenagers were so easily pleased

Lilac and Lemon - adorable!

These images are just so gorgeous, and when one of the groups I belong to set a lilac and lemon theme for a swap I knew I had to use one of these little beauties :) I can't wait till the new ones are released in March :)

Sunday's with Santa

This is my easel card for this week's challenge over on Sunday's with Santa (facebook group) It was nice to actually have time to join in this week for a change lol.

Mum's first card

My mum's been off work ill since before christmas and got bored so she rang me last week to ask for some decoupage sheets and things as she was going to have a go at cardmaking! Well, I printed her some, went shopping with her and she's definitely got bitten by the crafting bug! I bought her some bits and bobs and when I saw her again a few days later she gave me the first card she'd made to say thank you for the things! I think considering its her first ever card its pretty amazing!

another birthday card :)

I made this for my daughter Hazel who turned 14 on Wednesday.... I want to know who's stolen the last 14 years as it honestly seems only two minutes since I was in hospital having her lol!
The image is a digi download from Kenny K, coloured with promarkers, the papers are free downloads from Summer Driggs and the flowers are made from the same papers with contrasting ribbon. Paper flowers, ribbons and gems from stash, sentiment printed off pc!
