November/December CCC

Hi Lovelies,

Well I managed to upload a picture & things seem to be returing to normal around here.  Although we are still having issues with the computer.  Now my dh can't recieve any emails either, except one that keeps resending to us & the "techies" can't seem to help either.  So they are thinking it's a server issue & will get back to us in the next 24 hours, fingers crossed.

Anyways here is my card for the latest CCC over on Lily Pad Cards.  I made it last week (hoping that I could play along).  I kept it pretty simple & tried to use all three of the themes for this challenge.  Thanks for popping by today.  

I'm hoping by tomorrow arvo I will be able to see pictures again after a few minutes (not hours) & will be able to leave you all some comments on your wonderful cards.

Happy crafting everyone xoxoxoxoxoxo  

Deborah's CCC for March

Hi everyone,

By now you would know (& probably partook in one or two) of Deborah's CCC challenges.  Well this month my partner was the very lovely Anette.  So here is what I've made for her :D.

I tried to stick to the colours that Deborah gave as this month's options as well as the sketch for the card.  The pad I made because, well don't tell anyone but I ran out ideas & mojo.  This was the best I could come up with.  Usually I like to make a few cards to send to my partner.  I am hoping that Anette likes these.

I want to show you what a gorgeous card I got from Vera as well. I just love everything about it. So simple (something I love, but can't seem to do) & beautifully done. Plus I also got some gorgeous lace as well. Thank you so much Vera :D I smile every time I see this card, which is a lot. :D xoxoxo

Thanks for stopping by & happy crafting everyone.
PS Am feeling much better today, thanks for the kind words :D xoxoxoxoxoxo

Two Birthday cards

Hi everyone,

I have 7 birthdays (8 if you include mine) & 1 anniversary in February.  So I have been trying to get some cards done in time.

As usual this is a scrappy card.  These papers are all Basic Grey (Lemonade?) with black c/s.  The ric rac left over from the Basic Grey kit.  I coloured Gretel with my Copics.  I then stamped some flower scrolls (don't know the stamps names sorry) coloured them with Prismacolour pencils & added some stickles & pearls.  I also added stickles to Gretel's wings.

For this card I used Butterfly Nora, but I then altered her.  I think this is only my second attempt at altering a stamp.  All I did was change the bottom of her dress & added shoes.  Orginally Nora was sitting & since I didn't have anything for her to sit on I wanted to try & make it look like she's standing.  Again I used Copics to colour her & distress inks for the label.  

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Crafting xoxoxoxo
