Looking back...



No cards made here sadly......  I do wish that there was twice as many hours in a day so that I could get all the crafting done that I want..Oh to dream....

So I wanted to share cards that I have made for my 2 daughters over the years. I am glad to say that over the years my card making skills have grown.

They are not in any particular order....this is how they come out of the box. Enjoy!

 

 The black flowers are rub ons and the rach is traced around some chipboard letters and glitter added.

 A personal favourite technique of mine is to add hand drawn stitches to the edge of my cards.

 I love to use up my scraps and I also love bright colours....who would of guessed...

 This is an old one....using chalks

 Trying different shaped cards.

 Something different....may have to try this again one day....it is a fun card.

 GIRLS=GLITTER

This one was for a 6th birthday and the 6th butterfly was on the inside of the card.
I hope that you have enjoyed stepping back in time with cards from the past.

Purple....

 Over the weekend I have managed to sit and complete a scrapbooking page. It rained a little here so everything slowed down. I had this photo from my neices graduation and it worked with the feature paper. It is a very simple page using papers, ribbons, buttons a butterfly embellishment and some glitter. (it is hard to see but the glitter is on the purple circles on the outer border)

 

 

 Usually when stitching one would assume that if you are to get injured you would prick yourself with the needle......I will share my story......I was sewing a button onto a pair of hubby's work shorts. It was rather tuff going through all the layers of  the cotton drill. I was using my middle finger to push the needle through and the eye end of the needle went into my finger. OUCH!! All good now....
Had to share....Tip of the day.....use a thimble.

Mother's Day is coming soon.

Just a little reminder that Mother's Day is just around the corner and you should get your crafting gear out and make your Mum a very special card. Here's a few ideas to get you started.

 

 I asked my hubby which one he liked best.

Can you guess?

Leave me a comment.

Hope to here from you!

 

 

 

 Could not resist snapping this sunset yesterday.

Have fun making your Mother's Day card.

Creating In the Pink Zone!

Hi...I must have been in my pink zone for these cards.

 

I cracked open a new set of embossing folders. See dots and sentiment's below. Cranked up the handle on the Big Shot and got creating some pink cards.

 

These could be my favourite colours for this month.....maybe??

 

 

I may have to make my Mum a Mother's Day Card in these colours this year.

 

 

Have you made anything pink lately?
