STEAMPUNK

I hit on the idea of doing a card for my SIL Jaci's big birthday using the Steampunk style. As usual the favourite part of the project was gathering my supplies (i.e. buying more craft supplies).  I found a great paper pad from Graphic 45 which I just had to have and then I decided I need some embossing folders so treated myself to the Tim Holtz ones with clocks and machine parts. Downloaded some new fonts and then away I went. I knew what I wanted on the front but I let the rest of the design grow organically so the card took ages to do.  (Photographs dont do it justice but that's sometimes the case with busy cards).

This promises to be the first of many using these papers as they are equally good for men and women.

Long time no post

It's catch up time. There was a mad scramble to finish off and post various cards before our holiday. Here's the cards I made for Anne Bailey.  Really love the Indian Tilda and am looking forward to doing more of these

And here is the one I did for Joan from the Debbie Moore CD I recently got.

And a oriental decoupage creation for my sister-in-law Jaci (I think). I wish I had posted these before my holiday as I cant remember which cards I sent to which person as there was such a flurry of activity!
