The Golfer

I used Jolly Nations Decoupage for this card and craft Artist to create the Ribbon and Paper for the greeting.
I used Spellbinder labels to matt and layer the backing for the golfer
I chose to use Brown and Blue to match the jumper and some Spiced Marmalade distressed ink to edge the ribbon, card and greeting label.

I love Jolly Nations but dont often see there products in the local craft shops. I got these from QVC along with some stamps

New addition to our house

My gorgeous little baby Dora out for a run in the field she is nine months old.
I love taking her for walks and often while she is running wild in  the field I get inspiraton for my next card

Pretty and Pink

My Darling Wife
I made this card using the Docrafts Designer CD. I love CD crafting and have so many that it can take longer looking through all the resource you have ,than it can to make the card.

A Mother's Day Selection

 Mother's Day I love making these cards it gives me a chance to experiment with my Spellbinder dies mixing them up and incorporating stamping techniques and ribbon ruffling on the last card.
I used the Grand Calibur for these cards but sometimes use my Big shot for smaller projects

Anniversary medal

I was asked to make a Fun card for a 40th Anniversary that looked like a rosette or medal and came upi with this. I used a mixture of Spellbinder and Marianne Dies.





I Love making Fun cards and think I managed to keep the decorum of the Anniversary, Ican tell you it was received very well and has taken pride of place


Butterfly Pazzles



I used my lovely Pazzles machine to cut the edge for this card used flourish stamps for the background. I printed the greeting and used a Spellbinder die to the fancy shape and a few punched out butterflies and Gems.


(Note to myself)

I need to use my Pazzles more as i got the Inspiration Studio Pro software for Christmas but have not had much time to play with it.
