Cameo card


Another week flown by, I'm afraid this is the 
only card I have managed to make. The embossing 
folder came with an Australian cardmaking 
magazine, I just love it! I used some SB paper,
die cuts, and a peel off sentiment.

Umbrella Man card


Yesterday I had a play with Perfect
Pearls to create the background of 
my card, I also used some embossing
powder to my die cuts and swirls.
The base is SB paper, the house and
lamp post are from Cricut Heritage 
and the umbrella man is a Tim Holtz
 Sizzix die.

Geranium Card


I'm back to my cool and calming colours, so  
hot in Perth! I made the 3d image, stitched
the border, added pearls and used SB paper
for the base.

Get Well Butterfly Card


This was a quick card to make, I used a
precut 3d image, an EK punch for the
border, a CB embossing folder for the back
-ground, ribbon and a sentiment peeloff.
It's hot again in Perth today, I sure hope
this is the last of the hot weather!

This is my first effort using colour pens, the
image came with a recent cardmaking magazine.
I used a CB paisley embossing folder, some 
ribbon and a Marianne die.

Butterfly Card

m

I have embroidered the border and butterflies,
added a die cut, some pearls and made the 3d
image. I seem to be making a lot of cards using
green lately, I must be longing for cooler weather.

90th birthday card


Today is my mothers' 90th birthday, quite
a milestone! We celebrated yesterday with 
family at a nearby restaurant. I like to 
personalize special cards with photos. The
photo of my mother was taken in WW2, when
she was in the army, before children, 
grandchildren and great children. During the
week I made her a scrapbook album about her life,
 which was a big hit when I gave it to her at the 
restaurant yesterday.
I made the card with die cuts, SB paper,
paper flowers, ribbon, peel offs  and used a 
MS punch for the border.
