Hi everyone,
This card is for my great-nephew who is 2 later this month. All elements for this were from Docrafts Woodland folk and Friends, lots of cuties on here for children and adults alike. The background I printed straight onto the main card, then chose elements I liked, resized and printed 3 of the little man to decoupage a little. Each element was arranged onto an A4 sheet on the computer before printing, cutting out and assembling.
Although I do enjoy using CD's elements, I also enjoy adding other items from my crafty stash to complete my cards, but this one is all CD elements.
Well April complete, now to start on May, only 7 this month, but at sometime in the next 3 weeks we are expecting our 4th grandchild and don't know what it is so will have to fit that in aswell.

For anyone interested, I found the bunny image on my Easter card while looking to do another project. It is on the Docraft CD "Woodland Folk and Friends"

Hi everyone,
As I've already posted my Easter card this is a Birthday card for a friend at Church.
The stamp is one of Barbara Gray's, as I love DL cards this worked well. I inked it up using two of the new Tim Holtz distressed pens, worn lipstick and pine needles, which made it easy on the fine artwork. Stamping onto thin white card I then used a water pen and pulled in the ink to colour the image.
Cutting this out using spellbinders deckle edge and a second layer in coordinating pink also decked edge I layered them onto green pearlised card with white flourishes wrapped around then onto a white DL card. I finished the flourishes off with mini gems and to complete the card made Happy Birthday sentiment layering as main image.

Morning everyone,
I would just like to wish you all a Happy Easter and hope you have a good weekend.
The card was made a couple of weeks ago using one of my CD images, but sorry cannot remember which CD (must remember to make notes of which ones I use in future).

Hi Everyone,
Here are a couple of Easter cards made for our Church Easter fayre last weekend, that I didn't get posted.
This one was using the smallest of spellbinders Crosses Two cut from gold card and placed on the tag from Antique Frames and Accents with the boarder from the same set. The tag is then layered on one of Lables 25. The ink pad used to edge and tint the embossing was Pesto, an Adirondack.
All was placed on an A6 white card finished with a Happy Easter peel off.
Number two was another cross from Crosses two cut in gold, placed on a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangle, inked again with Pesto, then layed on a Lattice Rectangle cut in gold.
A white A6 card was the base card and again a Happy Easter peel off to finish.
I made a few variations of these cards and they sold very well for Church funds.
I will be back tomorrow with more cards I've made over the past week.

Arrived home at 8.15pm Sunday following a good weekend, working at the shop Monday and DAY OFF today, but no lie in for me, dentist 9.15am. Oh well, haven't done much for rest of day, so now feeling a bit more normal again.
Been sorting some things for Easter cards needed for Church Easter fair this Saturday, so have to get my finger out and it's back to work tomorrow. At least it's lighter longer so I feel like working later into the evening.
Well had my bath to refresh, back to craft room now for a couple of hours

Sorry I've not been around much the last couple of weeks, we have been busy at work preparing for the Harrogate show last week and this weeks NEC. We have also had most of the Spellbinders new dies in and have hundreds of pre-orders to complete and send out.
Anyway Gordon, Karen and I had a great show at Harrogate but Robert has not been well. He has had one scan but needs a further deeper one tomorrow so I have been called on to take Gordons place at the NEC along with Karen and Michelle, so if you are coming along call and say Hi on the Once Upon A Stamp stand G20.
Hopefully I may get back to making some cards next week so will post them when I have.
