Little Book

A little book made to match the recipe book for the bride's friends to add some messages in on the hen night.
The flower was made using Tim Holtz tattered florals dies. I added a little button threaded with some raffia and a few metal charms.

Recipe Book

I have made a lovely book to hold recipes from friends - this is a gift for a hen night. The book contains 18 pages for recipes plus some extra sheets and some pages I made into pockets to hold bits and pieces. I also added weight conversations on a little tag.  The papers are from my stash and from the new Nana Loves range of chipboards and papers from Jenny Ellory. These were the free gift on this months Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.(August issue) The colours are gorgeous. I bound the book using my Bind-it-all.
If anyone has any of the chipboard die shapes that they are sure they won't ever use I'd be happy to swap something for them - just email me.

Christening Number 2

Morning All from a dreary and wet Northern Ireland -after having a few glorious days it's back to the rain again - hope it knows when to stop.
On to my card today - it's another boxed keepsake for a Christening.  I used the Forever Friends baptism stamp coloured with promarkers and added some sparkle with sakura stardust pens. The papers I have had for ages and there isn't a name on them. Just added some flowers, leaves, ribbon and a bit of sparkle with Stickles glitter glue, finishing with a lovely decorative banner made with one of my new dies.

Keepsake Christening Card

I had a commission for two boxed keepsake christening cards -both for the same little baby girl. This is the first one - I've used my fave teddy - I'm sure you are all fed up looking at him - but I adore the image. I choose a pale pink, lemon and cream colour scheme. I stamped in brown ink and embossed the teddy onto some pale lemon gingham paper. I added a gorgeous ribbon bow and some sparkly eyes. The papers are from my downloads collection - I don't know where I got them from. The image was layered on to a square nestie shape, the border is one of my new Martha Stewart border punches. I added some pale pink pearls to the borders. a few punched out flowers and leaves finish it off. All sentiments and verses were made on the computer. The box has an image of the teddy stamped on it and another of my new buys the Spellbinders shaped banner.

The papers are downloads I have had for ages. I made some little rolled rose flowers to which I added some glitter glue, a few punched out leaves and the sentiments were made on the computer. The borders are a Martha Stewart punch.

21st Birthday

This was a commission for a book type card - it's an 8x8 card with five pages containing some beautiful poems a lady has written about her now 21 year old son as he was growing up. I covered the front
in these fab Doodlebug papers teamed up with some turquoise cardstock. I printed the sentiment on the computer, jigged around with the words using Alfredo's dance font and then printed it onto the paper.. The spine was covered in the turquoise cardstock and then I added a border of wording made on the computer.

On Your Special Day

Still on the white on white theme - this time a wedding card. I embossed the base card with some lines  using my scorepal, I cut out a nestie shape and also embossed lines on it  and then added some Stickles glitter glue to the lines. The diecut bird on a branch is from Marianne dies which I have run through my Bigshot in an embossing  folder. I added some rolled flowers I made - my first attempt at these and then added some sparkle in the centres. The sentiment was made on the computer and I added a few gems to finish.

Fabulous Fairy

Many thanks to Red Rottie (docrafts) for the beautiful image of the fairy - she prints out wonderfully clear and is a dream to colour. I used some promarkers to colour her and glamourdusted her wings. The papers are from Pink Petticoat and the sentiments I made on the computer. I photograped this outside in bright sunlight and the colours are a bit washed out looking.
