Basic Grey Wisteria and Granola Papers

I went to a craft fair yesterday and picked up two pads of Basic Grey paper - Granola and Wisteria and I am really enjoying using them to make cards today. The colours are a breath of fresh air. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

It's the Weekend!

Hooray! it's the weekend again. We've woken up to more snow again here this morning just when I thought it was all over. The light is so beautiful and evrything looks crisp and new. it's just the light I've been waiting for to photograph the couple of cards I've made this week. I think the background paper is mainly digital from the Shabby Princess Kit, Barefoot. The sentiments are from a Doodlebat download from Scrap n Fonts. Last, but not least, the little girl image is a digital download from Heather Ellis. I am seeing her images all over the card making world at the moment, so glad she is getting the exposure she deserves - check out the images on her site.

I'm Here for You

Just a simple little card base around a small circle of felt I found when I was tidying up my work area. I love simple flower shapes and keep going back to that look over and over. Hope you like it.

Valentines and other things

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I've been making some cards recently but it'sbeen so dark by the time I get home from work, it'snot possible to photograph them. So I'veleft them all until this weekend. Here you go!

First Valentines Card of the Season

Nichole Heady at Papertrey Ink put out a challenge to create a card only using scraps of paper left over from other projects. I have 2 whole containers full so I had plenty ofscraps to choose from. I tried to put unexpected papers together and I quite liked the effect. Hope you enjoy your weekend.

It's been a long time

After a very difficult summer I'm finally back and slowly getting into all my crafty passions again. Here's a bit of what I've been doing recently.

A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

Three very different cards made over the last week or so. The lovely girl image is a Digicharacter from Heather Ellis Etsy shop.I'll be back to school again in a couple of days so I'll be scratching around to make the time for cardmaking. Hope you have a happy day:)

I've been away in Scotland for about three weeks and have been missing my cardmaking. Returned yesterday to find my stamp order from PTI - its the vintage picnic basket set and sentiments. They were held in Dutch customs for over a month before finally arriving- well worth the wait. Can anyone tell me if there is a similar problem with online shopping from the US to the UK. Here are the cards I've made using mainly the Papertrey Ink stamps and Lemonade paper from Basic Grey.

Odds and Ends

Quick post with all of the bits and bobs I've been making recently. Off to Scotland tomorrow.

Baby Cards

I have no particular reason to be making baby cards but they have to be my favourite cards to make. The girly ones are made using vintage images inspired by Melissa Phillips. The boy one is made using a folding technique I saw on Bibbis blog (she has a link to a great tutorial). Have a great Friday.
