One last post before I move!

Well...you won't be seeing much of me now until I arrive in the US (closely followed by my belongings) in June this year. The removals come in the next week to take our "Unaccompanied baggage" i.e. the stuff we want in the US for the next 2 years. This means clothes, linen, towels, kitchen equipment, pictures, photos, golf clubs, computers, stereo and of course crafting stuff :(

I may be able to post some bits (I think I have a few photos on my camera that need posting) so keep watching. I will update you as soon as I can.

See you all in the summer!!!!

Got my new book!!!

'Delight in the details' by Lisa Pace...................what a great book. It has loads of ideas for embellishments, toppers etc etc. This was made up of bits I already had but I've a huge shopping list now so watch this space. You can get your copy here.

Simple cards

This is a card for a female relative. Very simple design (slightly wonky ribbon!) Love the flowers and the frame is embellished with pearlescent stickles.

More mens cards

A handful of cards for teenagers/boys and Nick! These papers above lend themselves excellently to making cards for men. The muted colours and geometric designs are ideal and have allowed me to create simple yet effective cards.

The musical card is for a music scholar at school....embossing folders, music paper and stars are great pieces to add to a themed card.

The Bio-Hazard card is for my son from my daughter and there is a long story behind it... but I'm sure you can imagine it involves a teenage boy?!?&*!?

Mens cards

Here are a few cards for men. Hard work!!!! The film clips are contact sheet photos of my son and nephew canoeing on a nearby creek. I cut the cardboard frames out and attached them together on the front of very plain cards.

The patriotic card is a bit more shabby! Lots of embellies and muted colours to keep it manly?!

Anniversary Cards

These are some Anniversary Cards for the next few months (I've managed to make all my cards till the end of August this year!!!) I love these easel cards....so simple. I'm also really getting the hang of shabby chic and have enjoyed putting loads of embellies on cards that look old and battered. I'm waiting for my new book to arrive form Amazon "Delight in the Details" ....How to make shabby chic embellies for your cards. I love the top card...lots of distressing ink, ribbon,glitter and hearts...mmmmmm lovely.
