Nurse Congratulations Card

I made this card for Michelle over at The Card Grotto for passing her nursing exams. I used Nurse Lexie from Spiral Whisper for the image and coloured in with Copics. I liked the colours used in this card and it's also the 1st time I've used mini brads (glitter ones for this card, which you can't see in the photo) with Prima flowers and I like it.....The paper is by Sweet Spots by Reminisce.

Hobby Craft 12x12 Paper

It was my birthday a few weeks ago and I got brought some gift vouchers for Hobby Craft. I'd been in Hobby Craft several times since trying to spend them and could find nothing to buy!! Any hoo, at the weekend I decided to just go and buy some seriously over priced stamps, but to my suprise they had loads of Doodlebug 12x12's plus makes like K and Company, Anna Griffin, Laura Ashley & Core' dinations card stoc. So naturally I spent the vouchers of tons of 12x12 paper (luckily I had been brought some Display Dynamics 12x12 trays and of course I had to fill them :D).

I also made my first purchase of some Nestabilities (square and circle) so now I'm just waiting for them to arrive and I'll be busy making a few more cards.

Caravan Thank You Card


This is a card I made for my mother in law who bought me this stamp (we go on alot of touring caravan holidays you see). It's the first time really that I've used bold patterned paper along with a busy stamp and also copics, and I have to say I'm impressed with the out come.

George & The Dragon Birthday Card

My sister wanted me to make a card for my nephew's 1st birthday and I was stuck....then I remembered the fairytale stamps on Elzybells and as my nephew's name is George, I thought 'bingo'. I used my old Sizzlits alphabet set, and coloured the image in using water colour pencils. This was a good card day!

Birthday Tilda

This is a card I made for my Mum's birthday. Apart from the colouring of Tilda, I'm quite pleased with this card. I used some of my new SU! card and some raffia I found in my stash.
