SIL's 30th

Well i can now put up my Sis-in-laws birthday cards as the day has come and gone!

this one is from my brother and his fiance:



this one is from my parents:



and this one is from her husband (my older brother), he asked for a ballroom dance theme, i used my bride and groom quickutz dies, i hope it doesn't look too much like a wedding card :-S

On a Roll!

I'm actually getting the hang of this card making lark :-D i have made quite a few cards over the past few days (i am pretty lapse in uploading them on my blog though). i think this might have something to do with my O/H working til 8pm, i have 2 hours of uninterrupted crafting when i get in from work - get in, get changed, make cup of tea (i should say bowl), and then straight up to the craft loft! Bliss! here are a few of my offerings...

Thank you!

i just want to say a big thank you to all the people who have left lovely comments on my cards on my blog and on the DoCrafts website!

thank you!

Die Cut Dreams Challenge

well i thought it was about time i actually entered a challenge. this is for Die Cut Dreams challenge 50, it must contain a number, so i used my quickutz monarch butterfly die, journal alphabet for the numbers and a phrases die for happy birthday.,the papers are K & Co and the card is DCWV, it's also my first attempt an an easel card. the card is for my Sister-in-Law's big 30.

FF and Wedding Card

it's taken me ages but i finally have some more cards to show. one is for a friend getting married on saturday and the other was just to mess around with my new MS punch around the page set.

i've completed the mammouth task of tidying my craft room so hopefully i'll have more cards to show now i can actually find everything!

You wait for one card...

... then 5 come along at once! i have had crafters block for weeks now and then today i shut myself up in my craft room with my laptop and 'Singin' in the rain' and other DVDs and produced 5 cards so without further ado...

Notebooks

well i have been very busy all day making these....


Notebooks (made from scratch - something i learned in ADT at school)

decorated with various bits and pieces, you probably can't make it out but the silver one above says notes on the label

this buttons one is my favourite, although i'm not sure if it needs something else?

and of course a day of crafting is not complete without a bit of tilda :-D
and just so that you can see they are books and not just ATCs.. the insides!
