Welcome

I've been asked to make a card for a lady who has just become a grandma, to welcome her grandson to the family. Here is what I came up with.

More number cards

2 more Birthday cards using numbers cut from the Cricut. The first is for a friends 40th Birthday that is coming up soon, using a card for a kit from Craftwork Cards. The second is for my Father in Laws 70th Birthday this weekend.

Cuddly bear

I have been experimenting further with my Cricut today, and have managed to use the end caps button succesfully, cutting out a worded tag. The stamped image is a beautiful design by Linda Luckin. Once again I am using all my old stash.

All ages

I've made 3 cards for friends and family who have 'big' birthdays approaching. I've cut the numbers using my trusty Cricut. My Hubby has told me that I'm not allowed to buy anything else (apart from glue and blank cards) until I have used up some of my many papers that I have, so I've made a start.

Cards for little girls

I'm still managing to produce cards and I'm loving it. Here are some cards that I have made today.

My Time to Craft

The challenge this week is Blue, any shade of blue and the only other colour you can use is white. The card I have made is for my work colleague's son, who's Birthday is coming up shortly.

I've been a busy bee

I've been so busy, got some inspiration from somewhere.....haven't got a clue where, but I'm very grateful. Here are some of the cards I've recently made. I have so many birthday's and anniversaries this month, but I've done it.

George

I did manage one more layout this week...returning to my simple layout. This is George, and he belongs to my Brother & Sister in law who live in Texas. We met George when we visited them last summer.

In the pink

I haven't managed alot of crafting over the last week as I've been in alot of pain with my back. But I have managed a little scrapbooking.

I sorted through some photos that my Mum gave me and found this lovely piccie of my Daughter standing near the lillies in my parents garden. Lillies are my favourite flowers and these just look so big. I have also moved out of my comfort zone with this layout and added a few more embellishments, so it's not quite the 'simple' layout I'm used too.

Scrapbook challenge on CSF

Lesley has set another great challenge this month over on the Craft Swap Forum. This month's rules are one photo, one colour theme, stitching and make some embellishments.

I have used my favourite photo of my daughter which was taken a few years ago while on holiday in Turkey. I've used a main colour theme of brown/cream and cut an arrow using my Cricut and hand doodled stitching around it in gold.

Bon Voyage

Just a simple card that a friend had asked for as a family in our village are emigrating to Australia next month.

Teacher Cards

I have made 4 Teacher cards today to sy thank you. My Daughter is leaving Primary School in a couple of weeks time and moving onto 'big' school, so there are alot of Teachers to thank. All the writin and pictures are hand doodled and the apples have been cut using my trusty Cricut.

Cards

I've been busy this morning with my Cricut.

The first card I made this morning is for a friend I work with who is getting married at the end of July (I'm ahead of myself for a change).

The second card is just a simple Ruby Wedding card. I just wish I had my Cricut a couple of years ago when my parents celebrated their Ruby Wedding, I could of really got carried away.

Feed me

Found this lovely picture of my daughter feeding herself with Weetabix. I think her face shows just how proud of herself she was-mind you, you can't see the state of the floors and walls. I've experimented with doodling around the edges of the paper/cardstock with this layout.

Ouch - scrapbook layout

Using some card and paper from the recent DCWV TSV on QVC, I have made this layout of Aimee's unfortunate accident. The shapes have been cut using my Cricut.

Scrapbook challenge

This month's scrapbook challenge, set by Lesley on http://www.craftswap.co.uk/ was to do a double layout. I've never done one of these before and is was quite a challenge.

Cricut

My lovely kind husband has just bought me a Cricut machine. After a little bit of practice, here are 2 cards that I managed to make. I must say I'm quite pleased with them for my first attempt.
