Happy Friday folks

I have been busy this week finishing off my Mother's Day orders and also making some small candle box cards. These are just a smaller version of the one I normally do but they only hold 6 candles instead of 12. I had an order for 6 of these from a lovely lady in Wales who makes her own jewllery and wanted that extra special gift box to present them in.

 

She asked me to make 3 Christening cards all for girls and the only spec was that she wanted a cross on them

She also asked for 3 Mother's Day cards all cute.

They arrived safely this morning and she was over the moon with them so much so she has ordered another copule for Easter, Happy Days

Thanks for looking

Its my Nephew's Birthday tomorrow and although I can remember him as a little baby like it was yesterday he is infact going to be 17. Makes me feel old that as I was actually younger than he is now when he was born lol

I have made him an extra special card this year and what makes it so special is ive used his own artwork as my topper and another drawing of his to create a backing paper.

Now these are by no means his original designs but they are his very own drawings. Im sure you will agree they are fab I am so bloody proud of him I could burst.

 I used Do Crafts digital design studio to resize this image and create the sentiment

I used the same software to create the backing paper using his other drawing and a patterned paper from the Boofle cd rom.

I know I am biased but I think his drawings are just brilliant.

Hope you like it and any comments are greatly appreciated

Good afternoon Blogland,

I have some really exciting news to share with you all. A few weeks ago I was approached by a friend from a craft group im a member of on Facebook. She asked me would I like to join a new DT for Crafty-Emblies. If you havent already do go over and check out the website, they have fabulous wooden emblishments and lots lots more.

There is also a challenge blog and the current theme is 'Wings'. Now wether your a paper crafter like myself or you love mixed media/alted art there is a place for you as we have 2 design teams showing off all the fab Emblies.

So here is my DT project for the 'wings' theme

I have used some gorgeous bird and flower emblies on my 'book' card. All I have done to these wooden emblishments is run an ink pad over the top just to give them a light pinkish colour so that they fit in with the colour scheme of my card. They are so easy to colour but they also look just as good left in all their wooden glory.

This is the inside of my book card and as you can see I have used  more of the smaller sized birds.

I hope you will come along and join in with the challenge which will run until 30th March for the paper craft element. Why not pop over and take a look at the rest of the fab DT work.

Mother's Day Card

I made this Mother's Day card last night, Its for a commission order for one of my regular customer's.

The only spec was that it had to be Me To You.

I have used some of my handmade roses on this I just love these and the fact that I can make them in any colour I like to match a specific project by just colouring them in using my Pro markers or my Speccies.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday folks.

Hugs

Thinking of you candle box card with notebook

Afternoon blogland,

I was asked to create a gift to e given to someone who has just lost their husband, the customer advised they would like something so that the lady could write down her thoughts etc so I have created a candle box card with a matching notebook.

 

This is the front and I have used a freebie I got with a magizine a while ago its a crafts u print sheet

This is the inside showing the notebook

The papers are from the 12x12 Love Letters pad by First Edition

 Without the notebook so you can see the 12 candle inside

This is a close up of the notebook, I have used some Co'ordination card and a butterfly embossing folder then sanded it back.

I hope you like it
