Going Green!

A change of colour for me although still a similar background....I just love getting inky and messy doing these and embossing with different colours and various stamps. I have added some 'jewels' on the flower and butterfly but they don't show up very well on the scanner. (I'm not too sure I should have added the flower, but it's too late now, it's well and truely STUCK on there!!!!!)

My forum friend's mother isn't well so I decided to make a card to send to let her know I am thinking of her at the moment.

My friend has also asked if her crafting friends could make some cards for the hospice to sell at their open day in September, so I have been busy making some for them, too many to put on here, but I hope they raise a little bit of money from them for such a good cause.

My neighbour's birthday card and box

It is my neighbour's 70th birthday tomorrow and I have left it a bit late to make her card. The first one I made I was really unhappy with, but liked the colours and background so set about making something a little bit plainer. I also made a matching box for her present to go in. An invitation to her party next weekend had a couple of pictures of her as a young woman, so I found a little frame to put the smallest one in, it was just the right size, and I've added some flowers and ribbon to finish it off. I scanned the box so it the picture hasn't come out very well, I really should get some batteries for my camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A simple Thank You card

We have been invited to a birthday party so made this quick and simple card as an acceptance.

Although it is quite basic I think it has worked out well.

I used the flower stamp that came with the last copy of Craft Stamper, think it is going to be a really useful stamp!!!!!

Messy fingers doing this one

Lots of inking and stamping on this one as I made the background paper from stratch using Tim's distress inks, with his swirl die cut, and some rubber stamping.

The flowers are from this month's Craft Stamper.

I added the ribbon and the happy birthday message which was stamped onto a nestie's square.
