Hearts and Tall stories

I'm entering this Anniversary card into the TotallyPaperCrafts Anniversary challenge. 
I used Holographic card stock along with some pearl card. For the top layer I used swiss dots card from Hunkydory. The whole card was made using the Glitter Girls board Hearts and Tall stories. The flowers are from Wild Orchid. The ribbon I had in my stash though I think I bought it from Ribbonbox. The ribbin and pearl flowers I made myself.

Hello fellow crafters. It's been a long time since I last posted. I lost my mojo there for awhile and am still trying to sort myself out. I've been getting on with some cross stitch just recently. I had far too many unfinished projects sat in a bag so I have pulled everything out and have decided to bite the bullet and get on with it. Both my parents celebrated their 60th birthdays just recently so it was an ideal time to sort those projects out and make them so unforgetable gifts.

I'm trying to play catch up at the moment. I had to get a new motherboard fitted but it's meant that everything had to be wiped and the OS put back on afresh. I'm halfway through my Bare Basics calender. I've also run up some card sample for Cupcaking Crafting. Please look out for Lynda's show on Create and Craft on the 9th and 10th. Above is a sneaky peek of one of the designs.
I also received my copy of Debbi Moore's latest magazine on friday. Another great magazine from Debbi and her team. The Evergreen cd is stunning. It was also lovely to see my card in the readers gallery. I still haven't gotten used to seeing my name in print yet. I can't wait to make some cards from the new cd. Do go to her site and subscribe to the magazine, it really is well worth the money. 

Belated Happy New Year.

I've been rather busy with this and that and haven't had much opportunity to get online. Hopefully all that will change this year. I've aquirred lots of new goodies in the past few months that I am hoping to play with now I have my studio back. I made a lovely card using Debbi Moore's new Chrystal Dreams cd. I enterd it into a competition she was running just before christmas.I used some card candy and Martha Stewart glitter to accent the easel card.
I also had the opportunity to play with the lovely Seraphina Through the Ages.

I bought myself a Cuttlebug late last year and have a loads of fun using it. These cards were the very first that I did using it. I can't craft now without it. I made all my christmas cards with it along with two beautiful stamps I picked up from Lil of the Valley at the NEC in November.

I used water color pencils to color the images. The papers were from one of the Crafters Compainion cd's along with some card candy and card stock I had in my stash. 
I've also made some cards using Cupcakecrafting's cd.
