Hello everyone, well it's been ages since i put anything new up, so i have added all the things i have made this year, so far.

My Valentine cards, the rose has a clear glaze over it, and is a tall slim, the Forever Friends is A4 in size, and the Popcorn is an 8" square card, i really enjoyed making the Popcorn card.

These are some of the Valentines Day cards i have made using the Forever Friends CD rom, they are all A5 in size.

This is the card i have made for my son, its his birthday tomorrow, 9 already!

Here are some of the cards i have done for my mum and brother, the purple hydranger took ages to do, but i think it was well worth the effort, i stamped the image several times and coloured them in with pro-markers then decoupaged them up, i finished it off with a clear glaze, im so happy with it, i hope my mum likes it. Its her birthday on Thursday and i will be going to visit her in Lincolnshire to help her celebrate turning the big 50!

Here are some of the things i have made this year, i love the little girl image she is called Sarah, and she is so much fun to use, i have lots of ideas for cards with her, but the 2 i have done are on 8" square.

The bird is a framed decoupage, its really pretty.

The flowers are just simple decoupage that i have put onto 10" by 7" cards.

These cards were made using the Popcorn Kids stamps and a couple of other baby themed stamps that i have, the backing paper on the "Samuel" card was printed from the Popcorn Kids CD rom, the shading around both main images was done with distress inks, im very happy with how they turned out, as were the 2 people who i gave them to.

I have used 2 of my fave images to make these cards.

These cards have been made using digi stamps and coloured in with promarkers.

Here are some christmas cards made using the Forever friends cd rom, the images are easy to cut out and they are very cute, its a great cd collection.

Here are some more Winter Pony cards, i really do enjoy working with this image.

These cards are some of the christmas cards i have made using the Winter Pony, also in this selection is the Autumn Pony card i've made for my Granddad, its his birthday this coming Tuesday, so i have to get it in the post first thing in the morning.

The Winter Pony is a rubber stamp, and the Autumn Pony is a digi stamp from Whimsy Digital Stamps, all cards have been coloured in using promarkers.

Today i tried my hand at flower arranging, and i loved it! the primary school that my younger 2 children go to has coffee mornings every tuesday and once a month on a Thursday they have an activity and today it was flowers, we had 2 hours with a tutor who showed us the steps to follow and helped when needed, the basket, oasis and flowers were all provided and we were able to bring home our finished project, there is talk of the next one being Christmas themed, with the option of a wreath or center piece, i am really looking forward to it.
