Flower Mini Album

 I was commenting on a project on Nigezza blog yesterday and  was completely inspired by her beautiful project so went and made one-(thank you for the inspiration)---not as nice think my papers were a bit dark and because my computer is downstairs and craft room upstairs I watched it a couple of times and just wrote down instructions instead of taking a pic so forgot to add the ribbon!

Luckily I hadn't added the topper so added ribbon underneath.

I didn't have any suitable dies for inside so used  my stamps from  Pink Frog and Chocolate Baroque.Stamps coloured with promarkers and the flower on the front was stamped onto cardstock,then a book page and finally P.paper and I put a 3D foam pad in the middle for a little depth.I used my favourite texture stamp around edges and a stencil from Creative Expressions with a grey oxide ink.No idea were the border die was from had it for years and found it at the back of a drawer.

Happy Birthday to Our Brother

 Morning and I had two cards requested by a neighbour for her sons birthday, the first one I posted yesterday and the second one was from their three cats to their Brother.

The one on the right-Oscar- only has one eye as he was shot a few years ago and is now on steroids after being diagnosed with a stomach tumour but he is the street bad guy and not giving up without a fight lol.

One day I saw a delivery woman at the end of our path and when I went to the door she said I couldn't come to the door and don't come out -Oscar was between us,I said oh he is fine and he came to me,she said he has just attacked that dog lol-said dog was a lurcher/Irish Wolfhound type and was on a lead !!!I even saw a little daschund once scared to go past him so the girl with him picked him up and Oscar chased them both down the street resident hardcase but he is a softee too -goes to a coupl of the houses for treats -sits on the bins looking through the kitchen windows-he will be missed !!!

The pics I was given were slightly dark but they were happy with the card so result.Wood paper from The Works and computer generated sentiment in Dafont using School font.

Happy Birthday Helen

 Morning and what can I say-March already and as it's the 2nd March it is Daughter Helens birthday (she is 48yrs--shhh)

She likes a tipple Helen lol so I made her a card using Glass of Wine a Day from Bugaboo Stamps,coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents on glasses.

Wine bottles and wine glasses are stamps and dies from a craft mag freebie set,papers from Art By Marlene and added some dewdrops then when taking pic I thought why did I add bubbles to a wine card???Die cut frame is a Gemini one from Crafters Companion.
