Daisy May Thank You card

Posted by PicasaThe challenge this week over at Daisy May is to make a 'Thank You' card so here is mine. I have stamped the pub image from Sheena Douglass together with the pub thank you sign and coloured using various pens and inks and added a tree stamp from Hobby Art in the left hand corner. I printed out Daisy May onto shrink plastic, coloured her with Sakura pens and added her to the picture - I felt the tree stamp matched with the tree on the Daisy May image nicely. Do try to enter this week's challenge - you may win a download of your choice and it is good fun. Enjoy the challenge.

Blue and Green Daisy May

Posted by PicasaHere is my meagre effort for Cute Daisy May DT this week. Due to being overseas and not having all my crafty stuff here yet this one is very simply done. 'Blue and Green' was the challenge - do pop over and join in the fun - you don't have to use Daisy May to play.

65th Birthday Word Book



Posted by Picasa My musician friend John will be 65 next week so I made him a musical word book using guitars and piano, he plays both, record icons which he will remember well - as I do, together with snooker balls - he loves the game and a picture of old men playing dominoes tee hee lol. These icons are from a QVC Kanban male kit and the book itself from Funky Hand Word Books cd. I just added ribbon and glitter glue to define the letters, not too clear on the scan of course.

Floral Fantasy

Posted by PicasaThis is my DT card for Cute Daisy May 'Floral Fantasy' challenge this week. I love the new fairy images - this one especially. I coloured her using Promarkers again and added the mandatory Stickles glitter glue - well you could not have a fairy without glitter now could you? lol. The background card is cut from a Create and Craft kit and I added the little Daisy May shrinkie floating in the flowers too. The stamp is from Dimension Fourth. Do pop over and check out Daisy May's blog and see the fab entries by the DT and the guests as well - you don't have to use Daisy May to enter.

Astoria Beach

Posted by PicasaThe challenge this week from My Time to Craft is to use 'Forgotten or Neglected Stash'. I am always forgetting to use this great stamp from Rubber Stampede which is ideal for men's cards so here it is in use again. Thanks Wendy. Stamped in brown and layered onto brown and gold mats then mounted over the card stamped in green with the world map.

Frog on a Bike

Posted by PicasaHere is the card I made for my dear husband's 60th birthday last week and also my entry for Created by Hand 'Animals or Pets' challenge. The frog was stamped (and sent to me by a blogging friend) and embossed all over using green sparkle embossing powder then cut out and mounted onto a cream card. I then added a hand made corner using silver Metal Magic and a corner stamp from Tesco, a peel off 60 and stamped Happy Birthday.

Get well soon Nicola

Posted by Picasa My dear friend Nicola has had an operation and will be out of action for around six weeks and needs to RELAX - hence the sentiment on this card. The topper is one I created for my DT entry for Cute Daisy May - a little shrinkie Daisy May amongst the Cuttlebugged coredinations swirls and the Debbi Moore flowers. The sentiment is from DCWV I think. Get well soon my friend and do as the docs have ordered and relax. xx I am also entering this for
Crazy Amigo 'Free' theme this week.
