Friends & Coffee

I had a little spare time so I thought I would make a card to enter in the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, it's ages since I joined them!

I used a decoupage image from one of Joanne Sheen's Decoupage House-Mouse Collections, lots of my favourite fussy cutting.  The challenge is Anything Goes with the option of  'Add a Tag',  I used a sentiment from Graciellie Design Coffee & Love digital collection and cut it out with a tag die.

I would like to enter this card into the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #308 Anything Goes With The Option of Add A Tag.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave.

Fashion Essentials

It is my Niece's Birthday next week and this is the card that I created for her.  I have used a kit from craftsUprint called Fashion Essentials.

I printed some extra copies so that I could add a few extra layers of card stock between the background layers, there are also lots of decoupage layers so lots of fussy cutting - I haven't done much fussy cutting lately and I had forgotten how relaxing I find it.

I added a Joanna Sheen die cut sentiment along with a computer generated one, I also applied some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the pearls and decorated the inside with the insert from the kit and some extra card stock.

Happy 90th Birthday Nan

I created this card  for one of my son's to give to my Mum for her 90th Birthday, I have made two - they can decide which one they give her!

I used one of Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew Decoupage Sheets, this one is from the Autumn collection but Mum loves purple and green so I decided to use it even though her Birthday is in the summer.  The pretty floral papers are from the Hunkydory Birth Flowers Collection.

The pretty die cut edge is a Sue Wilson die and the numbers are Tonic dies.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave - they are all read and very much appreciated.

Spring Tulips

I think the title of this blog post is wishful thinking!  It's freezing cold here and we had our first snow of the year in the night - not much though as you can see from the photograph below.

I have a spring card to share today, I have used a sheet from one of Joanna Sheen's Jane Shasky Card Making Pads.

I added some papers from Joanna's Jane Shasky CD and some blue card stock.

There are some decoupage layers and I added some butterflies and a sentiment that were also on the sheet - I cut the smaller butterfly from the backing paper.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas, I had a lovely time celebrating with my family but I think I have definitely overindulged a little.
