A couple more cards...

made using Spellbinders dies;

again using the Romantic Rectangles but the lilac background was a Go Kreate large die, Flowers are one of the early Spellbinders.

this was again using the Floral Doily Accents and Motifs and a border die. The foliage is a Cheery Lynn die.




Sorry my pics are not to clear will try to do better next time.

More Christmas cards....

as promised yesterday. I really seem to be on a roll at the minute. As you can see I tend to do a few cards following a theme. This year I have been very influenced by Sue Wilson and Spellbinders dies so thanks to both. Having said that I have done some stamping today so will be doing something a little different over the next few days, but may still use some Spellbinders, will have to wait and see.

More to follow----

Christmas cards

Well I made a push with making my Christmas cards this week. This is my first selection, using Spellbinders embossing folders and snowflake dies alongside Martha Stewart punches. I sprayed some of the snowflakes with Crafters Companion silver spray and others I left white. Pale blue pearlecent paper was used for layering and matching organza ribbon wrapped around a couple of the embossed layeres. I was very pleased with the result.

I am on a roll at the minute so keep an eye out for more.

Sorry no cards

I have been so busy the last couple of weeks I have not done any cards, but am still crafting.
The church I go to is trying to raise funds to build a new church and community room and following a meeting last week many of my suggestions were taken up and I was asked to prepare the items. My suggestions were to purchase items that we can add pictures to, eg. compact mirrors and keyrings to sell. Also to purchase plain aprons, teatowels and shopping bags to print our own designs on again to sell at various events we are organising.
I have therefore been busy preparing pictures etc. for all items on my PC and as my sister and I take the coffee morning this week we are trying to get some items ready for then.
I will take a photo of our display and post next week
My grand-daughter, who also goes to church, came up with her own idea of getting plain wooden plaques for her to put on names and zentangle them which she enjoys doing,  I am hoping to get some for her tomorrow for her to get started on. She is planning to do 2 examples then take orders.  I feel I must encourage her as she is only 12 and does love helping with things we do at church.
