Christmas Card Club - Snowflakes/All White.

Hi, ....Sunday already, time goes too fast.
It's been a fortnight since the last challenge at the Christmas Card Club and so the new theme is...

Snowflakes / All White

 

Here's my card...

If you've been following my blog recently you will know that it has been mega busy for me lately and so I'm afraid this was rather a quick and simple card but quite pretty. I'm not very happy with the lighting in this photo but it's been so dreary and dull that nothing I do seems to make it any better, sorry. The snowflakes are die cut from a Cheery Lynn die, which, by the way, I think is awesome - it cuts 20 different snowflakes with one pass through the machine. The tree is a Marianne Designs die and the embossing was done with a Cuttlebug folder.

I hope you get a chance to visit the other Club members blogs - links to their blogs are in the CCC tab at the top of the page - There will be some beautiful creations for sure.

 

I also hope you can pop back later as I will be posting another card, one I couldn't share before as it was for my eldest daughter's birthday, but as today is the day and she will have already seen it I'm safe to put it on my blog. It's her 25th birthday, boy that makes me feel old, and we will be having a family celebration in a few days which I am looking forward to. 

 

Thanks for joining me today, and see you a bit later,

Happy Valentine's Day ! Everyone.

Hi, hope you are all feeling some luurve today xxx. I have a birthday card though to share with you that I finished a couple of days ago.

Using my graphics programme ' My Craft Studio' I put together this male birthday card. A bit of fussy cutting and layering, a sentiment stamp and an aeroplane charm later - there was my card. I had to make it a quick one because so far this month I have made 20 cards for orders and I still have another 5 to get finished by the 20th February, phew :) I really love making them but it's been pretty hectic getting them all done.

I'm entering this in to these challenges:

A Creative Romance - Let's Get Sentimental

Scribble & Scrap - Anything Goes

Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes



Enjoy your time with loved ones,
See you later,

Princess And The Frog

Hi, Happy Thursday,
Another quick share today with a card, a very PINK card for somebody who likes Fairy Tales and lots of bling.

I used lots of different pink card and DP, a Doohickey border die, Marianne Designs square lattice die and coloured the digi with my Promarkers. I also put two types of ribbon, one behind the other, through a ribbon buckle and added lots of diamante sparkles.

Happy Crafting,
See you all soon,

Pinterest Inspired

Hi Crafters,
Just a quick share with you today. It's been mega busy round here lately and I haven't had time to blog unfortunately. I have been franticly making cards but some I can not share just yet because they are for family birthdays and I don't want to show the recipient their card before the day, lol.
So here is a quickie share:

 

This was a commissioned card for an I.T. specialist for Valentine's Day and I got my inspiration from Pinterest. The writing is computer generated but the hearts are stamped. I'm safe showing it coz' I know they don't look at my blog. :p  ha, ha.

I'm entering this in to some challenges:

Addicted To Stamps - Hearts

Crafty Little Fairies - Love

A Creative Romance - Show us some love

Addicted To CAS - Love

Papertake Weekly - With A Heart



Will be back soon hopefully,

I've been busy in my craft room but I'm afraid they are all cards that I can't share with you yet. Both my daughters' have birthdays coming up soon and I have been making cards for them from various family members and of course they look at my blog so I will show them when it is safe to :)
Here is a card I can show though....
