I've had a problem taking decent photos of this card but the papers are actually a lovely pale green and lilac in colour.

I used a Spellbinders Scalloped Oval die to make the base and edged with Dusty Concord and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks. I then die cut and layered a green paper from Grungy Florals - Pastel. 

The photo is from Vintage Photo Sheet 12  I cut it out and matted it with X-cut dies. I used the same Distress inks around the edge.

I printed two different lilac papers from Grungy Florals - Pastel and used X-cut dies to make the flowers. I finished the card with half pearls and an organza triple bow.

Harlow's 1st Birthday

I've been a bit quiet recently as I've been spending some quality time with my grandchildren. They grow too fast!! Yesterday was my granddaughter's first birthday. Harlow had a difficult time when she was born but she's come on in leaps and bounds since those first few scary days and we've had a lovely time celebrating her first year with family and friends.

I made Harlow an easel card using an image that reminded me of her from the first time I saw it.

The base was made using a Go-Kreate die on an 8"x 8" card blank. The turquoise and pink card are from my stash and the paper is by Bearly Mine. I used a Cheery Lynn leaf flourish die, some silver heart embellishments, an organza bow and Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. The sentiments were computer generated. 

The image is a digi stamp from Wee Stamps. I coloured it with my Promarkers and die cut it to match the base card.

I used an X-cut punch for the stopper and mounted it on foam pads then added fabric bows to the ends.

In the space of a year Harlow has gone from this poorly little mite to ....

... a beautiful, loving, happy toddler and we are grateful for every day with her.

Things will still be a bit hectic for me as I'm taking the children away for a few days but I'll try to visit your lovely blogs whenever I can.

I have made a CAS card to show you today. 

The papers are all from Moody Blues Set 1. I printed the sentiment directly onto the card before printing out four different papers and trimming them into panels. I then cut tails. I inked the edges of the papers and curled the tails.

The panels are fixed to the card at the top. This angle shows the dimension created by curling the tails. I finished the card by adding buttons from my stash.

A simple card that is perfect for any occasion and anybody.

New Home and Frame

Today I would like to show you a card and present I recently made for a friend on the event of her moving into her new home by the seaside.
I used elements from the Ahoy There! range from Docrafts, including some Creativity Club downloads for both projects.

I fussy cut all the elements and strengthened them with Modge Podge before fixing them onto the card with foam pads. The image was a royalty free internet picture that I've had for a while. 

I added some red netting (from a punnet of peaches) and a ceramic starfish attached with jump rings.

The sentiment postcard was computer generated and I made the lifesaver ring from a couple of circle dies.

I used some of the leftover elements to decorate a plain white wooden frame.

The shells are all from one of the Docrafts Creativity Club downloads and I created the sentiment on the computer.

The other elements are all fussy cut from the Ahoy There! paper collection. The fish paper can be replaced with a lovely photo.

I'm pleased to say that the card and frame were well received by my friend and she is settling in nicely to her new home by the seaside.

Kraftyhands August 2014 Challenge

Today sees the start of the August challenge at Kraftyhands. Thank you to all of you who joined in with the July challenge, the winners have been posted on the blog. This challenge is just for fun and the theme this month is a sketch which can be found at the bottom of this post.
We would love it if you used a Kraftyhands product somewhere on your project, but it's not necessary. Though we do ask that you follow the challenge blog.

I have used papers from two different CDs. The pink striped background paper is from Femme Fatale and the three panels and scalloped trim are from Man About Town. They were printed onto linen card and layered onto white card.

The gorgeous image and sentiment are also from Femme Fatale. The image has been matted onto white card and mounted on foam pads. The gold ribbon is from my stash.

This is the sketch that I followed. It's very easy to work with and creates an elegant layout.

Today I have a card made using the In the Pink Set 1 papers. I matted and layered the papers onto white card and scuffed the edges. I added a doily and some lace from my stash. The sentiment was computer generated.

The photograph is from Vintage Photo Sheet #14. I just love old pictures and this is a favourite. Again I matted the image onto white card and scuffed the edges.
