I thought my mojo had gone walkabout!!

Amazing!!................I go all week with very little to do, and come Satuday and Sunday the orders start rolling in. The first one is for Sally who has a partner not a husband. Not sure on the set up there as they live in separate homes, but still done a lovey dovey one. AND he wanted BIG! So this one is 12 x 6.......almost an A4 The next two I struggled with.................I think because it was the fourth anniversary card made in so many days!! But I got there in the end. I hope they like them!

Oh oh Been spending again!!

On one of The Clipart Fairies latest designs. Called "Boy Trendz" We all seem to buy loads of girly bits but never any boy bits( Doesn't that sound rude he he?) .................Well, with this set you get 18 backing papers and 8 different boys all in the sitting position. The frames come separate. But even so with all the papers and all the boys AND 3 lots of frames I didn't spend £5
so really good value. They can be found HERE

These are actually made for the fun of it and to replenish my stock at the local village pub, who very kindly has a display in the pub of my cards. I think these will go well!

Ruby Wedding Anniversary Card

Had a call this morning for this one. The bride and groom silhouette I have in black and managed ages ago to convert into different colours for different anniversaries, Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire etc. Do you know I can't for the life of me remember how I did it, so I'm glad I did all the colours back then!!

Another card featuring Heidi

Brilliant for men's cards. especially if they are 30 or over!! Have now used it for 40th 60th 65th and 70th birthdays, and I don't think it will be going to bed just yet!!
Megan's card.................Oh, you will be thinking she's used a boy image..............I know !! Megan is the biggest Tomboy I have ever known. She is always in jeans and baseball cap and the image is exactly her!!

Lastly Graham is a dear friend of ours who is suffering from terminal cancer, he was diagnosed 12 months ago and seems to be responding. He has been (Cohabiting with Ingrid for 16 years, in his words not mine!!) last year they got married, but he still wanted a card for Ingrid as she is always telling him he is not romantic. .....................................This was his design .........not mine!!
Actually printed onto acetate and wrapped around the card. Secured at the corners with DS tape and covered up with the pearls!

Art Deco plus Concertina Card

I have a friend who was a school cook before she retired.............hense the little chefs. The card is made from the length of an A3 sheet but cut to the depth of and A5 card It is then creased and folded concertina like to fit into an A5 envelope
The Art Deco is made from the Debbi Moore cd Decoupage delights Paris. I am not a fan of her backing papers so used one of the Bohemiam range from the clipart fairy.
The corners are from a font called corners.




Inspiration from another blogger

I was blog hopping as you do, and came across the instructions on how to make these bride and groom images made from hearts. It can be found HERE the veil was made from parchment, cut from an oval scalloped spell binders die and trimmed.
