A Quick card

My Postie Ann losted her Mother 3 weeks ago and now her Dad has gone into hospital to have his leg amputated....so I thought a bright cheerful card might give her a lift....and this Humphrey stamp seemed to fit the bill...the BP are from the cd and the die cuts are the Fleur de Lis spellbinders....

SHELF CARD

it's Wimbledon so I am sitting and watching for 2 weeks....eating cakes and crisps and lots of coffee...my lovely Richard cooks tea for 2 weeks and I don't do much crafting except when a card is needed!!!!
I love the way these shelf cards turn out and they have real mantelpiece impact when they go up....only trouble is having to explain there workings as you have to fold all the tabs away for posting LOL

TATTY BUTTON

A lovely friend gave me the Tatty button CD as a gift and although at first I didnt much like the images I watched Sue Wilson on C&C the other day and was inspired to play....now of course I am going to have to buy the stamps...well maybe these are images off the cd.

sympathy cards

always difficult cards to make.....but I know how much a personal card means at such time so they are always worth the time and effort.

JUST A NOTE

This is another card using the Joanna Sheen pressed flower stamps, I wanted a vintage look for a friend who sings in a choir...the backing paper is made from one of my husbands 1920 music scores....photo copied and then distressed with tea die....the sentiment I did on the computer....having a lovely crafty day.....
