I just had to share!

I received a funny email from a friend at work and this was attached at the bottom. The photo is so cute but the words are soooo funny I just had to share it with you. Hope you are all having a good day, despite the terrible weather (at least it's terrible here). Thanks for looking.

Enjoy your retirement

My mother wanted a retirement card for a friend so I used this cute penny black image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and unfortunately the gorgeous dp doesn't have a manufacturer on it (or at least I used the piece with the name on it hehe). I created the decorative edge on the green cs by using my fiskars threading water paper punch. The adhesive stones are by papermania and the sentiment was done on my pc. Thanks for looking.

Ruby wedding

My mother asked me to make this card for her friend's ruby wedding anniversary. I simply stamped the image by Anita's with versafine black onyx ink and punched it out with my circle punch. I added that onto a punched scallop circle. The gorgeous dp is by basic grey and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. I used my fiskars threading water punch on the red cs at the bottom of the card. I used my pc for the sentiment and added red heart adhesive gems by papermania. I also added a few punched out hearts from the red cs for added decoration. The white ribbon is from ribbon mad. Thanks for looking.



Jen's Sketch for You To Try

I made this card using Jen's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) from August 30th. I used an image kindly sent to me by Tracy which I coloured with my pro-markers and added a touch of sakura glitter pen to the heart and spots. I used dp that I downloaded free from Mad about cards. The plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment is a stamp by Hero Arts and the adhesive stones are papermania. Thanks for looking.

Cards we don't like to make!

These are cards that we don't like to make but unfortunately they are the ones that we seem to need the most. I was asked to make this card by a colleague at work. I stamped the inkadinkado image with versafine onyx black ink and did the same with the PSX sentiment. I cut them out and inked the edges for definition. The gorgeous dp by chatterbox inc. was double sided, so I used both sides so that they would match perfectly. I used the one side as the main backing on my card and then the other side I cut into three panels and mounted them at intervals on my backing paper. I again inked all the edges for definition with a cat's eye chalk ink pad. I added papermania adhesive stones to the edges of my stamped image panels and also to the centre of the cross. Thanks for looking.


Sketch Saturday Challenge

This is my card for the sketch saturday challenge this week. I used a gorgeous rachelle anne miller image kindly sent to me by Diane, which I coloured with my pro-markers. The dp was a scrap so don't know who makes it. I ran a circle of white cs through the cuttlebug using the spots and dots embossing folder and lightly ran a cat's eye chalk inkpad over the top. The brown cs is bazzill bling and the white ribbon, flowers and brads are from my stash. Thanks for looking.
