Boofle

Karen's birthday card

Karen's birthday card

These wonderful cards were made from the gorgeous Boofle kit I received the other day. The papers alone are divine and had to be used sparingly on a scrapbook layout along with several cards. I added some card candy from craftwork cards (always a must have I think in every crafters stash) and some ribbon from my stash. I also used a Marianne creatables die for my mat in the pink floral paper.

Dad's birthday card

I took a craftwork cards card blank for my dad's card. Inked around the edges nad added some faux stitches. I also used an X-cut border punch to add some detail.


Happy Crafting

I think I picked up these gorgeous digi stamps from Mami Doodles, the papers were free with Simply cards and Papercrafts and are by Craftwork cards the flowers i got from Crafty Ideas by Kaz and Wild Orchid crafts, I'm still learning with promarkers but was very pleased with the end result.

The weather is absoulutely wonderful out and Spirit and KeishaBelle are thoroughly enjoying themselves going out and playing. Lets hope the good weather continues throughout the summer. I'm a spring baby at heart but do love the warm weather as long as it's comfortable and not over bearing. Now the days are getting longer I have more time to craft in daylight and try out new things.

Today I am waiting in for a delivery from Royal Mail as they are delivering my new hub. tomorrow a BT engineer is coming out to upgrade me to infinity so will see how much better that is than standard broadband.

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather too

Warren in a Bucket

I did this card as a workshop on the Crafty Ideas by Kaz forum http://forum.craftyideasbykaz.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5547. I used the Warren products from Craftwork Cards. Also available from Crafty ideas http://www.craftyideasbykaz.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=830_1051_1078&products_id=16792. It took awhile to put together as I was photographing everything as I went along for the workshop, but I hope you will agree it was well worth it.
My next workshop will be a star card so watch this space.
Also tomorrow watch Create and Craft as the Walk on the Wildside is being aired for the first time. Do look out for the samples as they were amzing samples put together by the girls. Hayley will be demonstrating. If you are friends with Tina Fallon the check out her Facebook album Walk on the Wildside for more samples.

I'm still working on my Poppy cross stitch, hopefully that won't take too much longer to do. I also need to do my dad a Father's day card. I need to top all the others this year. The same with the gift. Though that may be hard after the gift I made him the other year.
