some recent cards i've made

Right, now i've shown my ally pally stash i'll show some recent cards i've made.

This card i made for my boyfriend, Matthew, after his cat had been run over. I didn't want to send anything too morbid and just tell him i was thinking about him. Inside i wrote that "i'm thinking of ewe".

I made this card for my friend, Kerrie, who has recently had her appendix out. she's been feeling very poorly and fed up,(get well soon kezza xxx) so i thought i'd send a card to cheer her up.

I love this stamp as its great for all sorts of cards but perfect for thinking of u cards.

I embossed the background card and drew inside the debossed bits with a sparkly sakura pen.

My gorgeous little godson was 2 recently and i thought i'd make a humourous card as he has recently started to do this "photo face" when he has photos taken. He likes bob the builder as any other little boys his age do, so i printed out bob on a scooter and replaced bobs face with Luigi's photo face! The lettering is dont with a see d's set and i hand drew the number 2 and embossed it with my cuttlebug. His mum loved it and it really made them laugh.

I've also been getting on with some christmas cards as i have a lot to make and have also just taken part in an image swap on the forum, so i had lots of gorgeous christmas images to use!

Long time no blog!

I can't believe its been so long since i've blogged! Doesn't time fly. I've had some up and down times with my ME so ive gone weeks without making a card and then making quite a few when ive been a bit better.

Before i show u the recent cards i've made i'll show u the yummy stash i bought at my first visit to the wonderful ally pally! It was my first craft show and being surrounded by so much stash was heaven. I am terrible with money anyway, so it was no suprise that i went over the top (influenced by kezza of course ;-) ) and lived off pasta that week until i could afford food again! oooppss.

Lots of gorgeous chipboard swirls and letters for scrapbooking. Ive just got a cuttlebug as a very early 30th bday prezzie (bday not until feb!) from my american family, so i bought a sissix alphabet to use with it. The thing is, i cant get it to work or cut properly so anyone have any tips to help me??

I adore all the new blonde moments stuff, esp these powders! they r so pretty but i still havent got round to using them yet!lol I loved these swirl stencils as well and will be great for scrapbook pages. A few sets of those bargain little studio G stamps!

Of course some cuttlebug embossing folders! and some lovely papers from lily of the valley, to go with the gorgeous fairies and winter animals:

I had the best time and was so pleased that i could meet some of the girls from the cardmaking forum i'm on. Roll on april!!

I think i'll start a new section as it taken me long enough to get this bit done with all the photos in the right place! lol
