For Tianna

Never heard the name Tianna before but I think it's lovely!!
Made with Forever Friends die cut decoupage, some backing paper I had in my stash, and usual ribbon, bows and MS doily punch border.
Anyway, haven't got time to natter .. got a challenge card to finish for a certain person who shall remain anonymous .. LYNN!!! otherwise I'm in heap big trouble!
See you all later xx

My very first Halloween card!!!!!

Hard to believe but I've never, ever made a Halloween card in all the four years I've been cardmaking!! Never been asked to do one so never bothered .. but darling daughter Samantha asked for one this year so couldn't wait to make one!!!
Used a Pumpkin and Aubergine sticker (from the Daisy & Dandelion range), oval and labels nesties, SU oval punches, computer generated sentiment and finished it all off with the usual ribbon and pearls.
Hope you all have a great weekend xx

What is this flower??

As per usual I haven't got the foggiest idea what the flower is .. but it's lovely. It's yet another die-cut decoupage sheet and the gorgeous backing paper is from the Papermania Signature range "Blueberry Hill". Finished with pearls and ribbon and used my new Fiskars punch that I bought at the weekend.
Enjoy your evening xx

And finally ...

My favourite of them all .. I just love the colours and everything on this one.
Just stuck a bit of blue spotty paper on the front of the card and finished with white ribbon, couple of punched snowflakes and a bow!! Simples!!
Have a nice day xx

"Mummy Christmas" and "Give us a kiss!!!"

Two more samples of the new Flippin' Christmas sheets from La Pashe.
I'll be showing the last one tomorrow so come back and have a look if you've got time.

What an honour!!

Guess what??? I've only been asked to be a Guest Designer by Boni of the Digital Ink Co. which in itself is amazing as I don't do colouring much, I'm more a decoupage girl as you all know, but unfortunately I've had to make the hard decision of turning the position down as I know I won't be able to commit myself at this time .. I've got too many projects on the go at the moment.
So thanks a million Boni and Jackie (the sly little beggar that put my name forward) and maybe one day in the future when I've nothing to do (yeah right) I might get the chance again!!
Have a nice weekend everybody xxx

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas"

and the inside

This is the first of another set of sheets from the Flippin' Christmas range.
The music notes and carol titles were printed onto white card for the top half and the bottom half is some gorgeous red glitter card, all finished off with a good old peel off border!!!
Check out Jak, and Toni's blogs for more examples and visit the La Pashe website for your nearest stockist.
Bye for now xx

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

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
