LONG TIME NO POST

Just got caught up with downloading photos from my camera and realised there are quite a few cards which I havent posted.

First is one I made for someone leaving my department. I used the lovely K&Co papers which my lovely friend Marilyn brought me from the US. A very simple card where the colour says it all.

Next is a card made from a MCS disc I bought as part of a special C&C deal.  Made this one for Delphine's birthday.

For the lovely Louise's 40th I made a card using images from a Debbi Moore magazine. Very glam.

CATCH UP TIME

It's been a busy month so not much time for blogging but very busy for crafting.  First of all here are a couple of quick cards I made this month.  First of all a cheery butterfly from a C&C kit for Raakhi.

Here is the one I did for Lisa and she was really pleased with it. Another Debbi Moore card from the magazine freeby pages with some die cutting goodness done with the Bug.

THEY ARE NOT ALL MASTERPIECES

I have had a creative week - my mojo is back.  I made another two Venetian themed cards and will post them as I send them to their recipients.  Following one of my resolutions I made a couple of cards which were not masterpieces but still were successful and I was proud of them.

One was for my colleague Raakhi who had a baby on 2nd January. I used a card blank from a kit and then customised it and matched the colours in Word.

The other was for my friend Helen who has bought a substantial property in Wales.  As we all lived through the final frantic negotiations I felt part of it.  I wanted to customise the card and I used an on-line translator (or three) to find out the Welsh of 'Good Luck in your new home'. The daffodil images were from Joanna Sheen's Cardmaker's Year.  There is some decoupage but you cant see it in the picture.

I have just got two new CDs and am looking forward to using them.  The latest My Craft Studio celebrating the Glam Fifties and a completely new CD of wine lover's cartoons- should be great for men's cards.
