Flowers, flowers everywhere!

Evening all!

I was given a DT challenge to create something with flowers...so after a while I decided to try and create something on my cricut and SCAL to put up for it.

This is what I came up with - I am loving the colours and I really do like the design. I have done it with other shapes since I made this one, but the flower one is definately my favourite.



Would love to know what you think.

Funky 21st Card

Evening all!!


I was asked to make a funky flowery 21st birthday card for a friends daughter. She loves flower and bling. This paper was from a Dovecraft 12 x 12 set (can't remember the name) and I used my Expression & SCAL to cut out the letters and just added more bling with brads and gems. She loved it!!

Wedding Day Card

Morning all! I was asked to make a wedding day card for someone's mum. She had seen two cards of mine that she liked the style of and wanted me to do one with a mix of both - fingers crossed I have done it right!!

It had to be minimal as well using the colours of brown, gold and cream.

Sex & The City

Finally I have watched this film!! Think I will have to watch it a second time to apprciate it as my husband was sitting next to me thoughtout the film tutting - you know, like men do....grrr!!

Anyway, I thought I would post up a card that I used SATC as inspiration for. I had to make a card for a lady who was a stylist and was to make it simple, and to involve the city (completely stumpted me I can tell you!).

This is what I came up with and the lady loved it!!

Here comes the bride!

Hello all - and how are you on this lovely sunny day?

I was asked to do a card that was dark turquise in colour (to match the wedding theme), and to also have the bride and grooms name on the front. It also had to be 'modern'.

This is what I came up with. Wotcha think?

Posting is just like buses...

... I don't post for ages and then I do two on one day!!

I have made two more cards - I am into brown at the moment - think it looks lovely.

First card is for a mate's brother - just decided to keep it simple, and think it turned out ok.



The other card was for a friends 3rd wedding anniversary. I got these gorgeous hearts at some stage and thought they would look lovely on the William Shakespear gold card. I added three gold brads next to the couples name to signify its their third anniversary.

Quite like this one..!!





Bye for now xxx

Rushed Job - is it good enough?

Hi all

My old boss from Liverpool contacted me last Wednesday and asked me if I could make his mum a birthday card for yesterday, managed to do one but is there something missing? I sent it to him, but I am not 100% happy with it, feels like it is missing something. I really want to get to grips with over embellishing things as I think that looks fab, ie, with ribbon, layering etc - but everytime I try to do it, it looks silly. Hey ho, I suppose that will come with practice.

Here is the card anyway so you can see.
