a card or two

I haven't posted for a while, what with kidney infections, chest infections and flu. Not to mention some stress caused by a so called friend...but that's another story. Some people are not happy unless they are causing grief for others..I can raise above it and karma is a wonderful thing!


Here are the latest cards folks, I really enjoyed having a break from Christmas card.

dove

Been a while since I posted. This is the lastest Christmas card. A simple parchment one

new card

This is a design my Christine Coleman. Enjoyed making this one.

About me.

Every couple of years I do a scrapbook page about myself. I journal to record what I feel about how my life is and where I hope it is heading. etc etc.. The photo I use is always taken on my birthday. I used butterflies has I say in the wording that I love them. I think they made a nice frame with a colourful, positive feeling.

summer

this doll is called Summer..That's another one done! LOL

another challenge

Another Monday another UKS challenge. this time you had to follow a sketch, use yellow and black and alter something and hide something. I hid the story of the photo  behind the snapshot label and I altered the card stock and the smile frame. and yes I used  black and yellow :)   This is not my normal style but its good to try something new. The photo is one I love of my granddaughter Courtney and her Dad Paul my son.

Its been a bad week for me, the exhaust fell off the car, the microwave blew up, the phone played up, the roof leaked. Lots of other niggles and I have been left feeling stressed ! But crafting is a good way to relax so that's what I shall do. relax, craft and look on the bright side!

playing with a die cut

This morning I have been playing with stamps and and diecut. Its a cottage cutz die. There are various pieces and you have to build up the die, and you get a nice Santa in a van!  Colour the pieces and there you have it I rubber stamped the houses and snowflakes and added glitter. well you can't have Christmas cards without glitter! I think it is quite a fun card.
