Fred's Flowers

Not made a card with Tracey's flowers for ages, so when I saw this new sheet on her blog I couldn't resist it ... it's stunning!!! At the moment she only has it in blue but with enough encouragement and feedback she may do it in more colours!!! Pleeeease Tracey!! lol, oh and the pinstripe background is also from Tracey!!
I printed it onto 180gsm glossy paper and assembled it with silicone so I could mould the flowers easily. Sentiment is computer generated and I finished the whole thing off with MS doily punch, ribbon, bow and white pearls.

Below is a close up the gorgeous flowers.

Have a nice evening and bye for now xx

Yellow Rosebud

This another die-cut flower from the imag-e-nation shop. Not made it for anyone in particular, but I'm sure it will come in handy for someone at some point.
The backing paper is from the Papermania "A Wonderful Christmas Time", and used my MS doily punch and SU oval punches again!!!
Hope you've all had a good weekend xxx

Navy and White

Used my new Stampin' Up Scalloped Oval punches and my new Martha Stewart border punch, the die cut flower is one I got from the imag-e-nation shop a couple of years ago and finished it off with ribbon and pearls as usual.

Janice is 60

The forever friends bear is a ready made decoupage sticker and the beautiful flowered paper is from the DCWV "The Sweet Stack" pad which I keep forgetting I've got and which has the most delicious papers .. really must get round to using them more!!
Hope you all have a great weekend xxx

Mother and Child

This is the final one of the four and my favourite.
Again kept it very simple with backing paper and peel off stars.
For your nearest stockist go to the La Pashe website.

The Angel Gabriel and The Three Wise Men

Another two samples from the brand new Flippin' Christmas range from La Pashe.
Kept these very simple. Used blue glitter card and white peel offs for the Angel Gabriel, and for The Three Wise Men I found some beautiful textured paper I've had hiding in my stash for years and thought the colour was just perfect.
I'll have the fourth and final one to show you tomorrow so if you're passing please come and have a look.
Have a nice day xxx

And the winner is:

"For me it has to be the ice cream van, we had one that came around nightly which sold sweets and cigarettes too, as the oldest I was responsible for looking out for "Fred" and his van, fond memories of my childhood days."

Couple of Golden Wedding Cards

I've made cards like these before but just adapted them to suit the occasion.
Self explanatory really so I won't waffle on!! lol

Forever Friends Thank You

I made this for a very special lady on the imag-e-nation forum.
I know she's received it now so I'm safe to post it on here.
Thanks Sylvia .. you're an angel xx

And another ....

I keep forgetting I've got dozens of Morehead sheets that I bought years ago when I first started cardmaking. Good thing about them is they never go out of fashion so I'll probably be using them for years to come.
Used my new MS punch again and finished it all of with ribbon, pearls and punched flowers.

Little Morehead Girl

Finally got my Martha Stewart doily punch .. had to wait ages for it but it was well worth the wait .. I love it!!
Wasn't too sure if it would punch through the cardstock I was using but crossed my fingers and it went through with no problem at all, saying that the card wasn't that thick so don't think I'd dare try it on something thicker.
I'm in the progress of making another Morehead one so I'll post that when I've finished it.
Hope you're all enjoying your Bank Holiday Weekend xx

Pink Tulip (I think!!!)

Imag-e-nation Challenge card

Made this one for the imag-e-nation challenge hosted by Pippa. Not entered one of these for a while .. just not had the time .. but after not entering the last one and getting a right rousting from the host Lynn!! lol ... I thought I'd better make the effort and enter Pippa's before I upset anyone else!!!
This one was easy to do as it had to be for a child between the age of 1 and 12 and for any occasion apart from new baby and christening. I've left it blank so I can add a sentiment later.
I came a very respectable 2nd so I'm well chuffed .. thanks for hosting it Pippa.
Bye for now xx

T'was the night before Christmas ...

... and inside the house

The cat guards his present, ignoring the mouse
This card serves a purpose, to wish you good cheer
Have a really great Christmas and a T'wiffic New Year!!!
and so the verse goes inside this fantastic new La Pashe decoupage set.
I didn't do a great deal with the front of this .. thought it looked lovely as it was with just the gold glitter paper and a couple of white snowflakes for decoration.
Pop over and see how Jak, Toni and Jackie have showcased their sheets and keep checking back here cos I'll have a couple more to show you soon.
Hope you all had a great weekend xx

Pink and Brown Hinged Butterfly card

I've seen these cards before on my blog hopping travels and thought I'd give it a go. Enjoyed making it and found it very easy to make.
I used pink textured card for the top half of the card and the bottom half is Regency from the Papermania Signature range. The sentiment is computer generated and I finished off with a cuttlebug butterfly, pearls and ribbon.
Hope you all had a good weekend xx
