What an amazing card

Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of posts and freebies.  I've been busy helping my daughter and her partner move house and also I've been organising new images to use in my designs with a fantastic photographer who has kindly agreed to let me use his images.  More about that in a future post.  I just had to show you this,  what a brilliant idea don't you think, well done Petrascards.

Hope you're all keeping well and continuing to enjoy your crafting.

Freebie Saturday

Morning everyone, as you know I've been spending some time designing new sheets  for card makers which will be going into my homeprint studio etc.  This week I've designed a backing sheet and sentiment sheet for you all.  I have designed for the DIY people we all know and hope these will prove useful to you. 

Wishing you all a happy creative weekend.

Grand Nephews birthday

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend and enjoying a break from your usual weekly routine. Tomorrow it's a grand nephews 1st birthday, he is such a happy smiling boy.  Here's the card I've made him, please excuse the photography, unfortunately I fell over on friday when I popped to my local post office and am unable to bend easily as I'm all bruised and  caught my back! Oh well I 'll just have to be more careful and watch where I'm going! lol

I added the topper with dimensionals and then put some stickles diamond on the no. 1 and used a coral colour stickles to represent the flames coming from the rocket.  I add the rocket with dimensions to the frame with an extra dimensional at the end to keep it level.. The base card is cream colour and 5X5inch square.

Here's wishing you all a happy, healthy and creative 2012.  To start you off here is a new backing sheet for you.  As usual its designed for A4 portrait.

Birthday cake

Sorry for such a gap in posting, I've been busy with custom orders and of course Christmas preparations.  I celebrated my Birthday a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful day.  I was very spoilt at lunch time while I was at my lovely daughter in laws.  Her Mum ( now a dear friend of mine) made a wonderful birthday cake.  As you can it was very popular with my lovely grandaughter! lol and we both got in a lovely mess eating our cake! lol
