New Home

Good Morning all!

It's almost the weekend, do you have plans?

There are a few things going on around here, so not sure quite 

how things will pan out!

Here's the card I have to share with you today!

A friend has just moved in to a new home.

He's back to the single life, so I thought this fun image was apt!

It's from a Kanban diecut topper & sentiment set, called 

So Macho- Funny Business.

it's been around in my stash for a while, just waiting for the right moment!

In fact everything on this card has been in my stash for quite a while!

I used an A6 silver grey card base & embossed with a chevron folder.

The dotty tape is from papermania,

I used silver peel off's for the sentiment to tie in with the silver foiling

around the image. I also added a little silver key charm.

I kept this card flat so it could easily be posted.

That's about it really. 

I know a lot of people find making cards for men quite daunting

 but I find if you keep things fairly simple & add a smile, it seems to do the trick. 

Thanks so much for popping intoday!

Have a great weekend!

Good morning all!

I have another card to share today!

As you can see, it's another of the samples I made for the launch 

of the new La Pashe CD Rom........

The Wrinklies At The Movies 

This one is an easel card. 

I used black card stock for the base & plain red paper to matt & layer.

The border was punched with an EK Success punch.

The design paper is from the CD

I used the sentiment as the stop for the easel section.

Added some ribbon & lace from my stash & a few die cut words.

You can just about see the little pocket/napkin with tiny cutlery charms.

I just couldn't resist, I've had these in my stash forever!

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by!

Back To School

Good morning all!

It's Monday, so it's back to work for me,

 but also time to play in the latest challenge over at 

Eureka Stamps where the theme this week is...

#157 Back to School

Here's my card

I used this image recently, but I love her so much I just had to use her again.

Isn't she just perfect for a "Back To School" card?

She is Digi 7701 Cheerleader

I decided to colour her up using pencils this time.

I used a 6"x6" white base for this card.

The papers are from Lidl & the twine is from American Crafts.

The little buttons are die cut using Tattered Lace dies.

The layout is this weeks sketch from

Sweet Sketch Wednedsay

I printed the little sentiment out using a font called

DJB The Cheerleader font

You can just about see that the image has been mounted on some foam tape

to give the card a little dimension!

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like my card & I hope you can 

play in the challenge! 

You don't need to use a Eureka Stamps image to 

play but there is an extra chance of winning if you do,

Good morning all!

It's a beautiful start to Sunday here, the sun is shining & it looks 

like it's going to stay that way!

Here's todays little card!

It's another sneek peak at the samples I made using the

Wrinklies At The Movies CD rom

.My card is 8"x8"

I added a matt of plain black paper under the design  paper.

I then added some lace, black satin ribbon & sheer white ribbon.

I die cut a scalloped circle from plain black paper using a spellbinders die 

then topped that with a little doily. 

The decoupaged image was matted on to the black paper too!

I placed the image at a jaunty angle & added the sentiment above, using varying

depths of foam pads. The final additions were a feather, a triple bow & a little

black heart embellishment. The ribbon, feather & heart were all from

 Lelli-Bot Crafts

Will be releasing the new CD Rom as a One Day Wonder on 

 Create & Craft TV 

Freeview 36, Sky 674, Virgin 748 & Free Sat 813

on Monday 7th September at 4pm & 7pm.

I've just heard there's a show on Tuesday too!

You can just about see the dimension in the side view of my card!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you've enjoyed your visit!
