card for a 2 year old

I made this card for my great niece who was 2 on the 20th of September. The design was inspired by one that Jayne Nestorenko had done using her Cute Companion stamps. I stamped the numbers and characters using black versafine and colored them, using inktense pencils. The words happy birthday were stamped with versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder.
My grandaughter is still having chemo and has now lost all of her hair. Her daddy has shaved his head too, to make her feel a bit better. Please keep her in your thoughts and hope that we have a positive outcome.

Thankyou for looking.

Harvest Dance

Good Morning fellow bloggers, I am sorry that I have not posted for a long time, but as some of you will already know, our three year old Granddaughter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour and has undergone major surgery. She is now having chemo therapy to attack the cancer cells that have migrated to her spine. Please keep her in your thoughts and hope that we have a positive outcome.

I made this card for a friend of mine, who loves nature and this digital stamp by mo's digital pencil, fitted the bill perfectly. I coloured the image with promarkers and swiped the edges with distressed ink. The backing paper and insert is from the new Essence of Nature cd rom by Artylicious. This was matted onto rust coloured card. The only embellishment for this one was a wrapping of gold ribbon.
I made another card for my other friend which was a concertina card, but I forgot to photograph it, so I will have to make another one to show.
Thankyou for looking.

A Birthday card with the Cute Companions


My Mum asked me to make a card for her Great Granddaughter's birthday, (my great neice). I made one exactly the same a while ago for another of her Great Granddaughter's and it was much appreciated. I sent a photo of it at the time to Jayne Nestorenko who designs the stamps and she asked me to make one exactly the same for her so that she could show it on Create and Craft, which I did. This is the third one I have made exactly the same, but I have to say I have enjoyed making them all.
I have used the backing paper from the first Cute Companions cd rom and the post box template by WS Designs. The stamps are Cute Companions, coloured with watercolour pencils, although some of the clothes were stamped onto backing papers. The stamp on the post box is WS Designs.
Thankyou for looking.

I made this card using a digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Sugar. I coloured the image using promarkers and embellished it with glitter. The backing paper is from my Graphicus Guild stash. The sentiment stamp is from The Stamp Man and I simly embellished with ribbon, silk flowers and brads.
Thankyou for looking.

Golden wedding card

The box

Sorry I have not been around for a while, but as I mentioned on my last post my Mum has been unwell after a fall and is still having problems. Other relatives are poorly too, so time for crafting has been a bit scarce. Anyway, my sister and brother in law have been married for 50 years and celebrated their Golden Anniverary yesterday. I made this card for them using the bookatrix board.

Get Well Soon Mum

I have not been around for a while, because things have been busy in our family. My Mum has had a fall and fractured her pelvis. She is doing well, but is still in a lot of pain and it may be a few weeks before she can come home. When she does come home, it could take six to twelve weeks before she is able once again to go upstairs. It's a worry though, because at 89 a fall like this can be quite a shock.
My Mum's sister my Auntie has bee in hospital for the last three weeks and also my Auntie who lives in Wales is in hospital after a stroke.
I used this elusive images stamp to make this get well card for Mum.I stamped it four times and then coloured it with promarkers. I cut out layers to decoupage and then glazed the flowers. I used distress ink around the first layer.
Thankyou for looking in today.
