Shoes and Shopping!

This image was a rubber stamp free with Creativity magazine many moons ago, but has been used many times in making my Animal Charity cards.  I also used freebie backing papers and some snippets from the snippets envelope.

The shoes are from a multipack of card images from Tesco (every little helps as they say!).  Ideal for 'on trend' girlie cards.

Enjoy!

WOYWW 156

It's that time again - WOYWW over at Julia's place.  Although strangely she doesn't have a photo of her workdesk today - she's sitting in the sun somewhere nice and warm with a glass of something in one hand and her ipad in the other!
So here is my workdesk today, well, my work tray really.  I had some offcuts of card that I just couldn't bring myself to throw away so I die cut them and put them around a pre-cut Nestie I was given.  It  is a way of using up the card without having to use whole pieces of die cuts.
You know me and making things go as far as possible for my charity cards!  You never know when you might just need that piece of white card which is only 2 inches square! LOL!!

Now, tell me, have you ever seen any wool balls like this?!?!?  I hadn't before my Aunt came back from the USA and gave them to me to use for the crocheted kitty blankets!  I put in a 10p coin in the photo so you can see the size of them.  They're huge and very neatly wound I have to say.

Anyway the kitties don't mind where it comes from or what colour it is, as long as it's nice and warm and comfortable when they lie on it!!!  I do love making the crocheted blankets, it's easy to do whilst zoning out in front of the TV!

Enjoy WOYWW everyone!

Very cute.....

Another perfect image for the Animal Charity cards.  This one was coloured with PM's as usual and I added some gold embossed heart cardstock along with the peel offs and some faux stitching.  The peel off wording of "Hugs" just suited this card....don't you think....!?!?!

I've also entered this one into the Snippets Workshop..  Apparently last time I forgot to include the link so I didn't get any of my cards mentioned - the first time I'd ever entered two as well.  Chemobrain has a lot to answer for and my lack of memory lets me down again.  Sometimes I think it's easier not to do these challenges as I usually forget to do something along the way......  :-(((((
Enjoy!

More kitty cards......

I know, my plan was not to make lots of kitty cards and go outside of my comfort zone.  However when the Animal Charity needed help, then I offered to give it!  Hence lots more kitty cards.  Oh boy, am I enjoying it....tee hee....!!!! LOL!!!!

The above image is my best ever favourite I think!  It's so gorgeous and I just love colouring it, of course the kities can be any colour to suit the recipient.  Or made in various colours for the Animal Charity!

These cards also use kitties and dogs aas the main focus point and are ideal for the Animal Charity.  They are from the Pampered Pets range, which was free with a magazine a while back and I've still got a few left!

I used the gorgeous hearts embossing folder on these and it just lifts the image a bit.

Enjoy!

Rudolph Day

Another Rudolph Card (thanks for the reminder to add the link Di!).  I just love this stamp, and well done to those of you who spotted it looks like my own little Bertie on my blog!  Miss the little man every day.

I used some gorgeous music notes paper (again from Di) and my new die cuts I got for Christmas.  I seem to be going through Stickles so much - another one has bitten the dust!!!  I'd like to try this glamour dust everyone is on about, but I haven't seen any when I've been in a craft shop. I'll have to keep my peepers open online.

I was going to try to put some ribbon inside the white middle of the bauble, but I can't get it to go around the curve.  It looks OK in white. 

Hope your like it!  Enjoy!

Thank You

This card says "Thank You" in more ways than one.  The lovely Sarn sent me some gorgeous embossed circles in white card and they suit these "Thank You" cards down to the ground don't you think!?

I've used them with two different backing papers (one cheap cardstock embossed) and one given to me by the lovely Gill (I think!).  Sorry chemobrain always reminds me it's not gone away!

I just added the circles with some sticky pads, and added some bling to the centre of the circle.  I've got more in the cutest little envelope (carefully made by Sarn too!) to use up on my charity cards too.

Thanks for those Sarn - they are great!!!

Enjoy!

WOYWW 155

It's another WOYWW again.  I've been a bit busy on the old crafting trays and here is one of the cards I've been working on.  I was sent a lovely set of stamps with 'guy' things on and although I've stamped them up I've not put them on a card yet.  Time to remedy the situation!!!

Most of us struggle with men cards, but sometimes inspiration strikes and I've made a few lately. 

Here's the finished card amongst all the other 'craft stuff' on my trays/bed workdesk (LOL!!!).  The oval came in a lovely parcel from Gill.  When she sends me some cards for the charities, she includes some die cuts or papers, or glitter, it's always a lovely surprise and I like to show people who help me out that I am using the items they gave me.  I've got a little envelope now which I can just delve into to find the perfect piece of card I'm looking for!

Have fun on this sunny WOYWW!!!

Here's the Wedding Card - all from Snippets!

Here's the rest of the card from myWOYWW the other week.  It is made from 100% snippets, no new card stock was hurt during the making of this card LOL!!!

It's an adorable stamp from LOTV as you all probably know.  I've added some basic promarker colouring and some bling of course.  I used my floral die cut and my flower ones and cut them out of cheap card form the Pound Store.  A little nestie was cut using a snippet in my snippet envelope and add some peel off's and it's all done.  Voila!

I love the "Congratulations" backing paper, sadly the store is no more, so this is the end pieces of it being used up. Oh I also used a snippet of cheap cardstock from the Pound Store and embossed it.  You have to be careful with the cheaper paper as it tends to rip sometimes in the Cuttlebug.

Enjoy!

Really delicate....well I think so!

I've had this image in my 'stamped box' for quite a while, and this gorgeous paper just suited it down to the ground.  I used my MS punch (my first ever one - I now have two!) on it as a background behind the Nestie and the image.

One peel off line and one sentiment ticket later and it's all done.  Another one for the charity card box.

Enjoy!

WOYWW 154

Here's my WOYWW worktray and as usual I'm joining in over at Julia's place.  Come and join us, it's kind of addictive and fun too.  More of the animal cards for the Summer Fayre. I've got a few things on the go on this tray, my mind just wanders off on it's own without me sometimes!  LOL!!

On Saturday I went to the Summer Fayre and saw my hand crocheted blankets being sold which was nice, and also the cards looked gorgeous in a cane basket.  I'm going to make more of the cards for their next event and also some blankets too.  It all helps them raise funds and I enjoy making them.  I just wish I could do more of it, but because of the pains in the legs it's just not possible.  Maybe one day when I win the lottery I'll have my own craft room like so many of you and will be card making in abundence at my own proper desk....well we can dream can't we....!!!!

Enjoy!
