Hello Friends,

I'm involved in a wonderful group and some of us have promised to send "happy mail" out.

Here are some I've been working on lately....




Only another couple of batches to do then hopefully I'll be done!

It might take me a while.....I've been working on these for the last month!

Have a happy day and thanks for popping by.

Silhouette Cameo 50th Birthday Card - take 3!

Hello friends,

You are going to be able to start guessing my age!  All my friends are starting to turn 50!

It's my friend Sue's 50th birthday today and I've made her this card...


...she loves the colour purple, so I've used Concord Crush from Stampin' Up for the base of the card and I used a co-ordinating sheet of Maja Design Paper for the front.  I manipulated the butterfly file, which I downloaded from the Silhouette store, to partly cut the butterfly, so that I could just gently raise the wings, which I inked for definition.

This card is a CASE from a lovely lady I've met recently who sent me a card very similar, I was so pleased with it, I had to CASE it :)!

Wishing you all a crafty day and thanks for popping by my little blog.

Sunday Stamper - Week 297

Hello Friends,

I was totally inspired to create a card, just like Barbara's from her show today, on Create & Craft.  All I needed to get me going was a colour theme, so I hunted around for a colour challenge and found Hel Sheridan's blog.  She has a very inspiring blog too and it seems that she sets a challenge each week, which I will be watching out for in the future!  This week the challenge is to make a bright card.

Now I'm not one for bright cards, but thought I'd give it a go and made this.....


....I'm really quite pleased with how it turned out.  I used a mask cut from my Silhouette Cameo for some of the background and a range of stamps from Stampin' Up and Bo Bunny.

The colours and card stock used were all from Stampin' Up, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Always Artichoke.

Hope you have had a lovely weekend and thanks for popping by my little blog today.

Gift tags - Silhouette Cameo

Hello friends,

I needed a couple of his and her tags for later, so quickly made these on my Silhouette Cameo...


.....it's amazing what you can knock up with pieces of card and paper out of your scrap box and a Silhouette Cameo!

Happy crafting.
