Valentine's Card

Here is the Valentine's card I made for Douglas and yes - its another easel card. Used the Popcorn Romance CD for the image and decoupaged it up. Printed a sentiment on my PC and used my nestabilities to cut it. Also used some red card candy. He likes it and so do I.

Jamie's Birthday Pictures

We had a great night. Its only when you look for photos of family that you realise that there arent many - mainly because we all hate getting our pictures taken - well I do anyway. Here is a picture of the birthday boy with his mum.

This is one of my three great nephew's. Love these boys to bits and its always great spending time with them - which doesnt happen too often. I can still remember how proud I was when they were born. They have grown up to fine young men. I am so proud of all of them.

Jamie's Birthday Cards

It was my great nephew Jamie's 18th birthday on the 4th February. Not only had I to make a card for myself, but had volunteered to make one from his dog to give him. I used the Popcorn Bear Romance CD for Jay's card and then decided that I shouldnt do decoupage for mine to make them different. Here are the two of them. I quite like these easel cards.

My First Easel Card

It's my friend Alice's birthday at the weekend and I have just finished her card. Knew that I wanted to make an easel card, but just couldnt decide what to put on it. My problem is that decoupage is the first thing that comes to me when making a card and I wanted to do something different. Ok it has decoupage on the front - so that was the easy bit. Hope she'll like it. Used Sharon Duncan's embossibilites CD for the background. Just love these backing papers. The rubber stamp was a one from a selection from Stampin Up and also used my SU punches. Ribbon and flowers from my stash.

A Million Dollars

When we were in Vegas we went to the older part of the town - Freemont Street and had a look around there. A lot quieter than down the strip. One of the places we went into was Binions which - as far as I can remember - the place which did the first Poker tournament. Inside they have a million dollars in a case and you can get your picture taken beside it. Oh how it would be good if you could take it home with you.

My First Christmas Card of 2010

Well I have really surprised myself by making a Christmas card already. Mind you I did make one early last year but didnt progress too much making more. Used my snowflake cuttlebug folder and then my scalloped circle nestabilites to cut a hole in it. Used a Martha Stewart border punch that I bought at the NEC in November and then backed it onto red card and added a piece of ribbon from my stash. Cut a snowflake and put it in the middle of the circle and added a peel off. The picture is a bit squinty.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is looming so thought I had better get cracking and make a couple of cards that I need.

I always find them difficult. This one is one of the Me To You Bears. I just love these designs and have used them frequently on cards. Printed off the front of the card, made a backing sheet with my 3D2 software and used peel offs for the heart. Also decorated the inside of it. Hope you like it.
