Good Luck card

My husband's embarking on a cycling adventure tomorrow - cycling along the Leeds to Liverpool canal in two days to raise money for Cancer Research.

I've tried a digital stamp for the first time here and quite like the result (even if it is more suitable for a 5-year-old!).

MAWTT challenge (Flower Power)

This is a card for my friend, although I also made it for the MAWTT weekly challenge, 'Flower Power'.

I've used Papermania coloured paper and backing paper that I bought from Lakeland years ago. I thought that the antique writing was apt for a notelet! I've used the paper flowers I bought from Oxfam and muted gold board. Hope you like it!

MAWTT Challenge #9

This is the new baby card I've made for the 'Moving along with the times' challenge. My first attempt at 'joining in'! I only realised that the deadline was tonight an hour ago, but James has been kind to his mummy and had an hour long nap - just long enough to let me make it, although he's 'supervising' it being uploaded on here!

I've used a die cut at the main embellishment and threaded white ribbon through to add texture. I've also used mulberry paper, brads, some crystal hearts, ribbon and peel offs. A good excuse to use up some bits from the craft box!

Christmas Star

I bought this wire star in 'The Works' yesterday and used an ex 'Clare's Challenge' sketch for ideas on where to place the different elements. It seems that I've reverted to form by backing everything with silver though!


I love this Anita's Christmas ribbon and know that I'll have to buy loads more before Christmas comes around.

Speedy Recovery Card

I managed to get an hour to myself this afternoon to make a card for my neighbour, who's going into hospital next week. I'd bought the paper flowers in Oxfam yesterday and I'd been dying to use them ever since.

I had a go at using ink around the edges of the card, a technique I've seen a lot of people use in the gallery. I'm not too sure that this first attempt is quite as I'd like but I was pleased that it made everything go together nicely.
