Cards For Different Occasions

I've made 3 cards in the last 24 hours for such different occasions. I definately am not a card maker nowadays and much prefer doing scrap pages. Oh well, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet as they say, so here's the cards:

1)This is for my cousin's as it's her birthday on Saturday. I've glittered alternate stripes on the backing paper which you can just about see.

2) My youngest sister and her DH-to-be get the keys to their first home tomorrow and I want a card to be on the doormat when they first get there (please Royal Mail don't let me down). The house design was card lifted from a card by my friend Juliet. It's not half as good as her card is, but I had to go to plan B when my stupid computer wouldn't realise I'd put a disc in it's drawer with downloads on. I wanted to use the back to front Dottie and George on it!


3) This card's for my mum's cousin (see post below). I've tried to make it suitable for a man to receive, but have a touch of femininity and gentleness, hence the lace.

Thanks for looking

Something New

Crafty Muse have this title for the latest challenge and here's my work:



I've used MillyRose and teddy that I coloured in using a free downloadable programme Paint.net. After importing the coloured image into Word, I added the matting backgrounds and wording and printed it all onto photo paper. This was stuck to a base card and ribbon added with DST.

I was going to appologise for giving you a computer generated card this week, but I've changed my mind. It's done like this mainly because I can hardly see my craft desk and I'm also still quite poorly, but it does show the versatility of downloadable images.

Quick update on me: I caught what the nurse thought was a virus at the end of September, now the docs don't know what it is! I ache all over, I'm unable to get comfortable, I'm sneezing and coughing all the time, feel really lethargic, can't sit at the computer for long at a time and don't feel like crafting (now I know I'm not well!! LOL). I did manage this week's challenge LO on UKS the other day and I've done an ATC for part of Ruth's challenge on 3C's, but that's all. So, until I can get here again take care.

HAPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
Love from me xoxoxox

New Blog

Now that I'm getting more and more into photography, I've decided to set up a blog just for my photos. At the moment, there's only the stones photo on as my blog header. I chose that photo as several of you said it was the best one out of the few I showed on here before. There will be more photos to post, but it's too late to do this at the moment. I need to try and get some sleep as it's just about 02:40 and I have to be ready to go out at 09:15 so I can't sleep in.

See you all here sometime soon. Thanks for looking.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I'm meant to be getting ready to go to Mum's for the evening with Sis and her O/H, but

I couldn't let 2007 end without wishing you all a

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I hope 2008 brings you all the good things you could wish for and more.

Hope you all have a safe and happy night tonight.

See you all next year
