Here Come The Boys First Ever Challenge

Been making a few cards over the last week and saved this one especially for the challenge over at Here Come The Boys.  It's the first ever challenge and "anything goes".  Am so looking forward to seeing the cards entered into this one as male cards are often hard to get ideas for so this should be really inspirational!

Another Side Easel

This card was made for an inspirational on this  FORUM.  The stipulation was that you had to use a cd for an element (or all) of the card.  I used Prim n Proper Tea and Coffee and Cream which were both bought from an ebay seller.  Unfortunately she doesn't seem to have any listings at the moment.  Came in handy as it's my friends birthday today "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHYLLIS" so this is the card she got! 

Country Chic Cards

Bought this kit from Wendy a little while ago, added some extras today and got two cards for different occasions from them.  Am loving side easels at the moment as you can probably tell! 

Two new cards today!

Been having a lazy day today, weather outside is frightful (oohh I can feel a song coming on  lol) so not doing much, just catching up on washing.....so decided that between loads I'd sort out a couple of cards using a sketch I saw on Bev's blog that she did for a Lily Of The Valley Challenge (not sure when so not entering them anywhere!). The second card has had the sentiment added as it's a friends birthday next week and think this one will fit the bill.    Now that they are done am off to pamper myself, hubby and I are off for a rare night out at Prezzo!!  See you soon!!

1st Challenge at the Clipart Fairy

As I've been using so many papers/graphics etc from Wendy's Site I thought it would be rude not to enter her first challenge.  You can win £10 to spend on there and once you've had a look you'll be amazed just how much you can get for that!  Specs for the challenge were that the papers/graphics had to be from her, contain a heart of any shape/size and a semi circle.....so this is what I'm entering....hope it meets all the criteria....wish me luck!!

Twins 13th Birthday

Have friends who's twins are 13 on Saturday so again went to visit Wendy and picked up this fantastic ready to print pull along skater boy card.  Then thought if you can have a skater why not a dancer so used another of her graphics and the layout of the skater boy card.  Hopefully won't forget to post them!

Happy Valentines

Well it's that time of year again!  Hubby got me  to do some cards for his mates to give their girlfriends so made these ones.  Most of the backgrounds are from the clipart fairy and good old forever friends cd came out again.  Flowers/Ribbons/Gems all from my stash!

Hope you like them :-)
