Border Collie Birthday Card

                         
                                   I made this card late last month for Loz.
                                   The image is a Canine Companion Wavy
                                   Stacker, if was a little different to make.
                                   I haven't made any cards this week, I've
                                   been all caught up with the Christmas craziness.
                                   I used floral embellishments, brad, stickers
                                   and die cut.

Humphrey Xmas Card

             

                                This decoupage is a freebie on a website, I

                                just love it, I have made it for my 5 year old

                                grandson, I know he will love the icicles die. 

                                I am making another one for my granddaughter,

                                which I will post later, it is also Humphrey decoupage,

                                but a different image.

Grandfather Xmas Card

                                         The weather in Perth is beautiful
                                         at present, so I have been very
                                         busy in the garden, So much to do!
                                         My intention is to have a beautiful
                                         garden for Christmas, but it is a
                                         lot of work. I've certainly used up
                                         a lot of calories the past few days!
                                         The card I have made is for my Aunty,
                                          who bedridden and is cared for in a
                                         nursing home, she is in a bad way and
                                         I'm not sure if she will make it to
                                         Christmas. The man in the photo is her
                                          father taken in 1913, Hector Coyne was
                                          his stage name. I made it with some SB
                                          paper and the poinsettia die cuts.

Two Cute Puppies

Once again I have chosen puppies as my

3d image,  I have stitched the card and

added some tiny beads. Most of my friends

and family are dog lovers, so there are no

problems finding someone to give my dog 

cards to.

Thank you to Make It Monday for choosing

me as their winning commenter last week,

 I am so lucky and thankful. Many thanks

also to people who have made lovely comments

Rose Card

This week I have made a card for a lady who 

will be celebrating her 60th birthday on Friday.

so the card will be a surprise. She loves sewing 

and roses, so I know she will love it. I made the 

3d image, sewed and beaded the card, inked the

edges and the corners were cut from a Nellie

Snellen die.

Camper van stamp

I had fun painting this card
with some shimmer paints which
came with a magazine. The stamp
is a Helz Cuppleditch -
flower power camper van.

My son's girlfriend celebrates
her 30th next month, so I
decided on this 3d by Ann's
Paper Art. The card is a bit
busy but then so is she!

Getting into the Christmas
Spirit!

I experimented with my
woodless water colour
pencils, on this digi stamp.
This card will be for my
son-in-law who loves
fishing.
