Cowboy Birthday Card

Here we are with card number 2 for today!

This one I made for my friend at work. We call him the Cowboy as he always promotes his work straight to the Live Server and we have a little Cowboy Hat that sits on his desk, so when I saw this stamp I thought of him immediately! And he liked the card too, phew! I coloured the image with my Copics and I really feel like I'm getting the hang of them now, which makes me love them even more, lol!...

Shop-A-Holic Birthday Card

And here we are with the final card I'm posting today. Now we're all up to date, for the moment anyway but I have more to make, lol!

This was another commissioned card by my God Mum for a friend of hers who lives in America. The brief was shop-a-holic and I couldn't think of a better image than this Jolly Nation Shopper Lady. I haven't done any decoupage for ages either so this made a nice change, although I did miss not using my copics, lol! What do you think?

Tractor Birthday

Card number 5 and I think the last one I'll post tonight. I have another 3 to go, one of which is another 2 post card so I'll post them tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit sleepy now, lol!

This card I made for my best friend to give to her little boy Finley on his 2nd birthday. He's really into cars, trucks, vans etc. so I thought the papers and stamp worked perfectly together. Emmajane was really happy with it, and so was Finley :o)

Wedding Card - Part 1

Card Number 3! (Told you I'd been busy, lol)

I made this Wedding card for best friends of ours who got married on the 19th September. Daemon was Best Man and he did a very good job of it too! I made Steve and Jo's wedding invitations so I knew the theme was purple and butterflies so I added this to the card, to make it more personal. I do love a good Wedding but their day was really special and we all had such a fab time :o)

Here's the card I made them...

Broken Foot :o(

Hi All,

I know I've been a really bad blogger recently and I haven't posted anything for ages. I'm really sorry everyone, I have still been making cards but just completely ran out of time to post them. But I'm now getting everything in order and will post all the cards I've made recently so that you don't all miss out!

It's been the start of the netball season so I've been really busy getting everything sorted for my new team, we've won our first too games (whoop whoop!) but then I sustained an injury in our last game and I've broken my foot. I'm not very happy about this as it means I won't be able to play for 6 whole weeks.....but on the plus side it means I'll have plenty of time to make cards as I'm laid up on the sofa! Every cloud and all that aye! So, on with the cards...
