Two Baby Cards

Good Evening all.  I would like to share with you two baby cards I made.  The first is Messy Rabbit using papers from the NitWit collection.  I love their papers.
And the second is a Penny Black stamp.  Coloured with ProMarkers and a Martha Stewart border punch.
Sorry about the lack of posts but sometimes Mr.  Blogger just dosn't want to play - then I give up. 
Was at the SECC last week and bought lots of crafty goodies.  We had a fantastic day.  We made a card with Stephanie Weightman.  She is such an inspiration.
Hope you are all well.
Thanks for looking and Happy Crafting.

Two acetate cards

Hi everybody and welcome to my blog.  Nice to see you.  Here is a Mother's Day card I made using pink and silver cardstock from Hunkydory.  The front of the card is acetate and the ribbon is threaded through using a ribbon punch.  Two little butterflies punched out of silver mirror card.
Another card using acetate, this time a stepper card.  The flower punch is a Marianne Creatable.  Some ribbon and pearls from my stash.
What a glorious day it is today.  Have been out for lunch and then for a walk.  Hope the weather is good where you are.
Thanks for looking.
Take Care.

Jewel Brittania Card Kit

Hi there.  I hope you are all well,  and able to stay warm and cosy.  
I was watching Create and Craft and was so tempted to buy the Jewel Brittania CD and card kit.  Needless to say temptation won.  Here are a couple of cards I made.  The photo is not very clear.  I added ribbon and brads. 
With the second one I decoupaged the car, added stones for the spotlights and made a paper rosette.
I was so pleased with them.
I hope you like them too.
Thankyou for visiting and I would love to hear your comments.

An Altered Box

Hello all and I have to apologise for the lack of comments.  Mr.  Blogger is at it again.  Every time I go to leave a comment the screen freezes.  It is so annoying!
Thought I would show you a wooden box that I decorated at my Sunday Craft Club up in Perth.  This took me four hours to complete, two cups of tea and a supply of cake.  I am so pleased with it.

Here is the lid, sorry not a very good photo.  I hope you like it.
Thanks for looking.
Have a great day!

2012 Calendar

Good Evening and welcome to my blog.  I thought I would make a calendar using stamps from Personal Impressions.  I got inspiration from a workshop I was at last year when I made a canvas using the same stamps.  The buttons and tailor's dummy was covered in scrap pieces of material I found in the cupboard.  I think I made a skirt for my grand-daughter when she was 3.  The little heart button and scissors I picked up at the SECC last year.  The ribbon and lace was from my stash.  I stamped the cotton reel, cut it out and wound red embroidery thread round it.  Simple but very effective.
I hope you like it.
Thanks for looking
Take care

Iris folding

Hi everyone and a Happy New Year.  My New Year resolution is to start blogging again.  I have missed it but it is finding the time. 
I thought I would try my hand at Iris Folding.  Was easier than I expected.  The flowers in the wheel-barrow were made using a Marianne Creatable die.  The butterfly was a Martha Stewart punch.
I am going to enter it into the Flutterby Wednesday challenge.
I hope you like it and thanks for looking.
Take Care and Happy Crafting.
