Fab at 50 and a wee problem

 

Seem to be having a wee problem with blogs I have decided to follow they dont seem to be showing on my blog list , hopefully I will figure it out , anyway onto my card which was made for a friend who wanted one not too flowery as her friend is quite a trendy and 'mad' girl, so hopefully this fitted the bill.

Papers from my local supplier, sentiments on pc , pinched flowers and nesties used , martha stewart edge punch and a few wee gems.

Oh just figured out me wee problem and its sorted now, yay!

thanks for looking and any comments and I will come and visit you if you do..........K x

A Card at Last and an Apology

First my apology for not being around much lately, things have been really busy and not had a minute, just had time to make my card requests but not much time to visit you all or post them up , I promise to catch up with blogland tonight.

Now onto my card which was made for my friend for her best friends 40th and she wanted something special.  I had made the card below for her husbnad to give to her for her 40th which I hadnt posted up (dont know why) and she loved it so much she wanted a pink version for her friend.
these cards do take a bit longer to make but the finished article stands out in a display , perfect for special friends.

 

Thanks for looking and if you leave a comment I will be sure to visit you back K xx

Who loves Cadbury?

Cadbury purple that is but I also love the chocolate too, who doesnt?

This was the request for this wedding set of Card, (shown previous post) guest book, keepsake box and photo album for a wedding gift, really enjoyed making this as its my favourite colour, my friend is collecting on Sunday so hope she is happy with it.

I have shown the lids off the boxes and also made her a wee matching tag.

I have printed all the labels on the computer and matted onto shimmer purple paper and embossed the backing card on my hougie in a lattice effect and punched out the butterflies and added some bling with some stickles on the crossing of the lines of the embossing.

Hedgies Love Letters and I have been Minxed!!`

Hedgie is posting his Love Letters for this weeks I Love Promarkers Challenge (64 Song Title)

Hedgie has been coloured with Promarkers and mounted on Nesties inked with Versacolour, sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the flowers are punched, the wee strip of paper is from my scrap drawer and is made by my local supplier.

I have entered him into the challenge above and my song title is Love Letters sung by Elvis,

 

I also went for a haircut today and the beautician in the salon had just started doing these minx toenails so I thought I would give it a wee go as the weather has been so nice my tone up flip flops have never been off my feet, I will apologise for my horrible feet ( they need some TLC)but at least may nails look nice lol!

Less is More Week 11 Acetate, oh! and me!

 

I have decided to enter a challenge! Not another one!

that must be about 3 this year!!, yes I am a bit slow at the challenges but I am definately going to make an effort this year, however, I'm not really impressed with my effort but I will give it a whirl anyway.
I am entering into the Less is More Acetate challenge as I really like LIM cards.

I punched out 3 flowers with acetate and ran over them with my embossing tool towards teh tip of the flower to give shape and the whiteness, I would have preferred a larger flower but I dont have a big enough punch and would have also liked a white sentiment , but didn't have anything to do that with either, so I have used a swirly peel off and a lush brad for the centre of the flower, a wee bit white ribbon and that was me , think its a wee bit too plain but it was a first attempt with acetate for something other than for 3d glass effect!

Wee close up of the flower from the side.

 

Also finally got a picture of me on my blog , at long last , and I dont resemble a plum at all!! I don't think I do anyway! My son took the picture for me , he's a clever wee boy!

Thanks for looking and any comments you leave a very much appreciated , now I must go off to bed!...K xx

Male Retirement Card

 

My friend needed a special retirement card and wanted it themed due to his job,(no prizes for guessing what it is!) think this fitted the bill! excuse the pun!

I downloaded the hat from the internet, cut it out and glossed it. 

Used my nesties and my MS punch and the paper is their own paper from my local supplier, sentiments on the pc and a few bits of card candy.

Thanks for looking and any comments gratefully rec'd...........K xx

Pretty in Pink

Loving this kraft paper I got from craftwork cards recently and I followed the same design I earlier for a ruby wedding but this time for a couples wedding day.

Not had much time lately to do any cards but hopefully get some time this weekend as my wee pixie is away to brownie camp and I have done enough painting for just now, feel a crafty weekend coming on! :-)

No Stamp Required

 

As most of my followers will know I don't do an awful lot of stamping or images on my cards , mostly die cuts etc. This card was for a 60th (yes I know I am stating the obvious) for a lady who likes softer colours and not too much bling, thankfully she loved this.

I liked it so much I made another on for my friends mum for her

they were so please with it I have made a couple of Mother's Day cards the same and my mums birthday card , will post those later.

thanks for looking , now off to do a bit of blog hopping before work............K x
