Another lovely warm day.

Hello everybody. I have uploaded several cards to my Gallery this week. I made some bookmark cards for the first time and I felt pleased with them. I used the fabulous Linda Ravenscroft artwork from the card creations cd.rom. The images have a star sign on them. I carried through the design from the front on both cards to the back.
 I also made a flowered Easter card for my neighbour. The print was taken from a Joanna Sheen cd as was the papers. I wanted this card to be simple. I added a plain silver cross and 2 false brads in pail blue. Again the design was taken through to the middle and back of the card.
The second Easter one was for my precious Grandson who has severe Autism. He loves going in my car and so I thought a Messy Rabbit card was ideal with Messy in his car. This was taken from Joanna Sheens Messy Rabbit Papercraft cd. rom.

April Friendship Swap.

I really enjoy this swap. I have received some lovely cards over the months.
The image and background paper for this months card were taken from a Joanna Sheen cd rom. Beautiful Ladies. I mat and layered onto a square card. I chose black for one of the layers and also cut a strip of the same card to make a ribbon. I decoupaged some of the ladies from the paper and added them on as a extra embellishment. I carried the colour schene through to the inside and back of the card.

Easter Weekend.

I always enjoy the Easter holidays. I think its because you know that winter has truly gone. Apart fron a heavy thunderstorm on Friday we have had beautiful weather. I have made several cards.

Today its been a beautiful day. I have sat with windows open and made 2 new cards.

The first card from the Messy Rabbit cd rom. I love these because they are so adaptable. I used all the items from the c.d and printed it onto Super silk paper and layered on card and paper. I made a easel card and rolled up some matching paper to put on to prevent the card slipping. I put coordinating papers all through the card. To finish I put 2 butterfies from a small Martha Stewart Punch.I hope you like it.


The other card I made was for my Friendship Swap which I will put details on here when it has been received.

Hi Everyone.

Another weekend is here. Last week I said I would be making cards during the week but it has been such a hectic week that I could not seem to get down to them. I will this week I promise. I feel as if I have been so lazy when I look at all of your beautiful cards. I am looking forward to looking at all your Blogs again
 this weekend.
