Birthday Cards.....

These are three lovely Birthday cards I received from friends on the Docrafts forum. Another year older......lol. One is from Lesley,one from Hazel and one from Heather. Thanks ladies for the lovely cards.I know Lesley would have needed help to make hers as she severed a tendon in her right hand and can't use it properly yet.

I'd also like to wish two of my fave people who share their birthday with me a very Happy Birthday.The gorgeous Scottish actor and best James Bond ever....Mr Sean Connery and one of the best guitarists ever,from Def Leppard...the gorgeous Vivian Campbell. Hope you have a great day!

This is a card I was asked by Lesley to make for her niece.The image is Pickin' Apples from the Sweet Ebony range,coloured with my Prismacolors.I still prefer these to watercolour pencils and Promarkers.I matted the image onto green Bazzill.K&Co Blue Awning PP matted onto green Bazzill. Lace from stash and added a row of little pearls.Sentiment was written with a pen on my Craft Robo.The flowers are Prima with little ribbon loops attached at the back.The beaded flower centre is also from the K&Co Blue Awning range.Some little blue gems to finish.

Thanks for looking

P.S. I've got to apologise for not doing my tag as I couldn't think of 7 individual strange characteristics.Call me totally strange!!!.....pmsl

Forgive Me.......

for I have sinned!

I've cut up my gorgeous Daisybuckets papers. Not just once......but 3 times! Oh what will I do.It's a terrible crime......lol

Anyway,I had these 3 cards to make for this week but couldn't post them earlier as they might have been seen.
The first was for a lovely lady on Docrafts called Hazel whose birthday it was.I used Daisybuckets Sweet Marabella Bianca papers.Partygirlabella Stamp coloured with Prismacolor pencils.Some flowers with sugar coated Papermania brads in the centre,Papermania gems and some ribbon.

The second card was for Louis nursery teacher whose birthday it was.Again I've used Daisybuckets Whimsical Ladies Royal Court papers and also Partygirlabella coloured with my Prismas. Stamped sentiment from Studio G. Some purple ribbon,Papermania gems and a Flora doodle flower with Papermania brad in the centre.

Finally the last card is for Father's Day. Again it's Daisybuckets Under The Boardwalk On The Clock papers. The teddy bear was made from Sculpey clay in a mould and decorated with chalks.The nose and eyes are coloured with a black Sakura glaze pen. He's mounted onto cream card cut with my Nestabilities and then onto my lovely new Core'dination cardstock also cut with my scallop nestabilities.This card has a contrasting coloured core and is great for distressing as the inner core colour shows through.I've used my Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder on a strip of the Core'dinations card and rubbed it with sandpaper,I also used the same technique on the Dad letter which were cut from a Sizzix Alphabet. The brads in the corners were from a previous Costco scrapbook kit and the little gem hearts are Papermania. This is Louis card for his daddy.

Happy Father's Day to all fathers today whether here or who are in our thoughts.

Mini Pocket Book

Well I finally decided to take my Bind-It-All out of it's box and use it. I was lucky enough to see Nicki from Trimcraft demo'ing the BIA and decided I must really use mine. Morag our scrapbook teacher is leaving to go back to the USA and so I decided rather than make a card,I'd make a mini book. I thought of having the pockets so I could make lots of little tags (cut on the Craft Robo) for all the girls to write something personal on. I used the lovely Dovecraft Papers which are in shades of black,white and fuchsia pink. The sentiment on the front was from a HOTP kit and the flowers are Dahlia Blend Flora Doodles from Joanna Sheen. I added loads of contrasting ribbons to the wires.
Inside I used Papermania fuschia pink cardstock and again it's all decorated with the Dovecraft papers and matching brads. I've also used more of the flowers inside.The inner front cover has a good luck verse which is matted onto fuchsia pink card cut with the new multishaper punches from Docrafts. I've put in lots of photos from our night out and added lots of little scrapbooking quotes from scrapbook.com.
I've only uploaded a few of the pages to give the general idea of what's in it.

Some New Stash Arrived & A Get Well Card

Well I finally got my lovely Flora doodles from Joanna Sheen after taking Royal Mail from Tuesday to deliver them. They were worth the wait though as they are so scrummy and you can never have too many blooms.
I also got a notification that my Scor-Pal was at the depot awaiting collection and had a customs charge to pay. This was delivered at 12.20pm and the depot shut at 12.30pm. Typical! So now I need to wait till Monday to have a play.
Hopefully my Bellas should be here from Canada next week as they've been dispatched too. Don't you just love new stash?

This is a card I made for a lovely lady called Hazel from the DoCrafts forum who went through a big operation on Monday.I hope she likes it. It's the Penny Black elephant again.Coloured with pastel pencils.The backing paper was another freebie.Scallops cut on my Robo. Swiss Dots embossed panel with Hero Arts sentiment stamped onto it.Added some ribbon and a few blooms.
