Thank you Celia

Look what wonderful Celia sent me.... I am a lucky lady! And she sent me some little bee embellishments for hubby's welcome home card! Thank you Celia xxx
One month of hubby being in Afghanistan gone, just another 2 and a half to go!

Some cards..

I made this one using the new Happy Birthday background stamp I bought for the Craft Club, stamped onto black card and clear embossed, scrap slightly woollen ribbon, and one of the many new embellishments I got for the Craft Club. Punched the eyelets in withthe Craft Club's new crop-a-dile! A Pink one!!

These next cards are made by my daughter Rachel.

Isn't she talented? She just loves to install herself on mum's craft table...... :o/

Another Fathers Day Card

Here is the card I made today for the FIL for Fathers Day on Sunday.

Slightly smaller than the last one!!

Dad - close your eyes!

Ok here it is as promised, didn't turn out anywhere near what I envisioned but I actually quite like it for such a simple card!!

This card is for my dad and will be popped in the post this week so now have to find an envelope big enough! Its a 12 x 12 folded in half. I have used brads as a button on each one, they and the other embellishments are from papermania.

The origami shirt instructions can be found here at Madaboutcards.

Don't forget also that Madaboutcards has quite a few free downloadable papers as you have a good hunt around the projects. Or you can go here where the first download in each set is free.

Here is a card I made yesterday.







And here's a close up!




I also made this one at Craft Club on Weds

Cards! Copied and Pasted

Father in Law & Mother in Law!
Friday, Apr 11, 2008
This was one of my first attempts at cardmaking, not bad eh? Still possibly one of my favs so far, for my father in law. It was so simple, papermania backing and embellishments, some from Ebay and some hand made. He likes gardening and walks and the surname is Bees so all very appropriate!

Now this WAS my first attempt at making cards back in January (08)at the local Craft Club run by Gill here in Gib. What do you think for my very, very first attempt? Its a bit 'raw' and 'basic' compared to what I do now, as I am slowly learning. It was just made from bits and pieces they had there. Peel offs, embossed background (possibly by a Cuttlebug) and my favourite toys - brads!
