Sophie joined in crafting tonight

Sophie, my daughter, joined me crafting tonight (I cringe everytime I hear can I use that, can I have a but of this !).  Have a look at the card she made on her blog http://www.sophiescraftyblog.blogspot.com/.  She took a picture on her new camera because she said she hasn't had time to update her blog for a while !!  If only she knew what it was like not to have time lol.

Challenge card for friend at work

A friend at work seen me posting out the easel card to Andrew's uncle and admired it, she asked the next day if I could make one for her with either an aeroplane or boat with Happy Birthday and Welcome Home on it for her nephew who, after travelling the world for some time, was coming back home on his birthday.  She liked the easel style so that was my challenge for tonight, I put it off last night thinking what picture I could use.  Anyway I have made one for her tonight hope she likes it ................

Last minute card for Uncle

I just remembered today I needed two cards, one for Tuesday and one for Wednesday, luckily I had one made for the anniversary on Tuesday but needed a mans card for my OH's uncle who's wife and daughter are both card makers.  Was talking to his wife today about easel cards and she had not heard of them so decided to make one for Malcolm for his birthday so she could have a look, hope you like too.  The pyramage does look a little off line on this photo but it is because I have taken the picture stood up above the card HONEST !!

New challenge - Inky

Well was not impressed with this card and had I not left it till the last minute I would have started again, anyway I am not a messy inky person, can't stand inky fingers but thought I would have a go, the first stamp pad I tried fell to pieces lol, I them used a momento pad in silver over textured black paper and dabbed round the edge in lilac, the next layer on top of the mirror card was again white textured paper which I went over with the lilac ink pad.  The colours are much darker on the photo than in true life, Anita's stamp stamped with the same lilac ink pad.  Flowers were mounted on the corner to take away the bareness.

This weeks challenge Mens Cards

As everybody probably does I always struggle with mens cards unless the man I am making it for has a particular hobby then I can usualy find something to suit.  Anyway had a go at another easel card, think they are so easy now I know how !!
