Tom's birthday

Tom is starting to walk the Penine way on monday so his birthday cake fits in with the theme!

I will upload the photo of his card soon.

Now for something completely different....

Yesterday was Toms cousins birthday. So I made her a cake.....

Kate was very pleased with her cake!

And its a flower the ladybird is sitting on not its feet!! (Thanks Mike!). Also I want to thank Tom for making the cake, after mine was far too small and I didn't have time to make another. The cake was made from Debbie Brown's 50 Easy Party Cakes book.

Some more cards...

Leading on from my last post, here are some more of the cards that i've made this weekend.

This card was again made using a Penny Black stamp, coloured with water colours. I don't know the make of the papers as they were in a bargin bin with no name on! And the ribbon is American Essentials.

As you can tell I like my Penny Black images, this one is titled 'a winner.' I have again watercoloured the image. The papers are Fancy pants (again!) Key Lime Pie, and American essentials ribbon. To get the corners 'indented' I used a circle punch, (I know you can get a proper corner punch to do this but as I don't have one this worked quite well, or at least I think so!) The scalloped circle was punched out using a Dovecraft punch.

Ok, so I've used yet another Penny Black image! Again I've watercoloured it, and ok so I've used Fancy Pants paper too (Sweet pea). But I do love this image for a baby card. Thanks go to my mum for letting me borrow it! And also to my sister who let me borrow the 'mouse' stamps too.

And Finally......

I used a Magnolia 'Tilda' image for this card. I 'paper pieced her dress, and watercoloured the rest of the image. The papers i've used are again Fancy pants but from the Botanical collection this time. The Flowers are from Prima and the glitter round the edges are Stickles.

I've been busy playing...

This first card was made using a Penny Black stamped image, which was coloured using water colour pencils. The Papers i've used are from the Fancy Pants 'Sweet Pea' collection. The ribbons are American Essentials and the other from a local craft shop.

This card was made using a Penny Black image, stamped in Stazon and coloured using water colour pencils. The papers used are Basic Grey 'Two Scoops'. I don't know the make of the flowers as they were given to me by my mum.

For this card I have used a Penny Black image, Fancy Pants 'Kewl Stuff' Papers and ribbon, and the flowers are Prima.

First Post

Welcome to my blog.

I decided to start a blog to have a place to show what I have created.

This is a card I made for a friends birthday. Sorry about the quality of the photo, I will work on taking better ones.

The image is a Magnolia stamp, stamped with Stazon and coloured using water colour pencils. The papers are Imaginisce and the flowers are by Prima.

Hopefully, I will be posting some more of my creations soon.
