Back again.....and so is someone else!

Afternoon all!

 

Hope everyone is well and if you're in the UK, hope you're enjoying the bank holiday weekend?  We've had rain here today but hopefully that will pass and we'll have sunshine for the rest of the weekend, well here's hoping anyway!!

 

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my first card back last week, you certainly made me feel welcome  :o))  How I've missed the crafting love!  And since coming back, so has someone else...

 

 

 

Yes the amazingly talented Paula has re-opened the Pollycraft doors with some fantastic new digi's, have you seen them?  Well they certainly helped my mojo to return pretty sharpish lol!  So for my card today I'm sharing one of her brand spanking new images, here's

 

'Owl always love you' (and she comes with the sentiment too!)

 

 

 

Isn't she adorable!!  I've made this card for hubby as it's our Wedding Anniversary later on this month...

 

 

 

And a side view...

 

 

 

Cute huh?!  Go check out the shop!

 

As you can see I'm still sticking with the CAS style at the moment.....desperately trying to resist the urge to 'stick something else on' lol!  I'm loving it though, sooooo good to be back!!  :o))

 

See you all soon chicks,

Much love,

Cazza

My Favourite 5 of 2010...

Morning all,

I hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve whatever you were doing?  Good job I scheduled my Sketch Saturday post yesterday - man my head hurt lol!!  But a very fun evening  :o)

So as I'm feeling human again today I thought I'd join along with Debby's Favourite 5 of 2010.  You just need to choose your favourite 5 cards (or near to 5 if you can't choose 5!) and post them.  So here are mine in no particular order.....all 10 of them!  (sorry Debby!)


February 2010 - This is Hubby's Valentines Card.  I really like the layout of this one and of course the Penny Black stamp!!

March 2010 - I made this card for my God Mum's Hubby.  I love the Doodlebug papers, layout and colouring on this one, and it reminds me of spring!

April 2010 - I made this one for my friend's daughter.  Again I love the Penny Black stamp and the layout of this one.  It was the first time I put ribbon behind the buttons too and I was really happy with how that turned out.

June 2010 - I love the simplicity of this card and I think the colour scheme is really striking.

July 2010 - This was my first commissioned card for a friend of mine to give to her Sister-In-Law on her 50th birthday.  I was so nervous making it but really happy how it turned out and my friend loved it and asked for more cards!!  Charleston Tilda rocks  ;o)

July 2010 - This is my absolute favourite card of 210 that I made for my Dad for his 60th Birthday.  I used 3 8x8 inch cards to make it and decided on a 'This is Your Life' type card which illustrated some of the major (and silly minor!) events in Dad's life.  It took a whole weekend to make but I really love the result and so did Dad  :o)

September 2010 - This was my 2nd card I made as a Sketch Saturday DT Member.  Sooooo chuffed to be on the Design Team!!  I made it for our best friends who celebrated their 1st Wedding Anniversary and love the layout, papers and Elzybells stamp on this one.

November 2010 - I made this card for another friend's daughter - I love the bunting and especially Pirate Tilda, oo-arrrrrr!

November 2010 - This one I made for my Brother-In-Law, it's a shaker card.  I love 'Fluffy' and was voted a Pollycraft Favourite with this one  :o)

December 2010 - A very recent card of mine and already a favourite!!  I think this stamp is wicked and love these papers (sorry if I've bored you by using them on so many cards - I've even bought more, lol!)

I hope you've enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane with me today.  Looking back at my cards has got me thinking about lighter evenings and warmer weather - roll on spring!  Normally at the start of the year I'm feeling quite down but this year I feel so alive and can't wait for the coming year - I do hope it's a good one...

Lots of love everyone, see you all soon.  I think I'm going to make my first card of 2011!!...

Happy 1st Anniversary Mr & Mrs Jenner!! (& SS Week #122)

I made this card for best friends of ours who celebrated their first wedding anniversary last Sunday.  Daemo was best man at their wedding and we all had such an amazing day, Jo looked stunning, Steve looked ever so handsome and the girls all looked beautiful!  Here they are this time last year...

And here's me and Daemo at the Wedding of the Year 2009!
