Joanna Sheen Card Swap


The topic for August was a card of your garden or your pets using Flowersoft. Well I haven't any pets (only the cuddly toy brigade) and we only have an elevated vegetable garden so I got my husband to take some photos of his vegetable patch and made an inverted pyromage picture of his bean plants with the leaves of the bean plants for a background to the card and a border of the courgette plants

Card for neice




I made a card today for a neice's birthday on Friday. Sadly I was so tired today that three cards went into the bin before this one emerged that I was happy with. I used the Crafter's Companion Girls CD for this card

Commissioned Card - for Grandson's 16th Birthday



My Mum asked me if I could make a card for her grandson's 16th birthday. I'd planned this one from me and my husband but used this one for her. Yet again I used my new Card Toonz Professional Nuttyness CD by Andy Carolan - needless to say I think I like this CD!!!!!

Card for my dentist


I recently had to have various appointments at the dentist and made this special card for my dentist to say thank you. I used my new Card Toonz Professional Nuttyness CD by Andy Carolan

Get Well Card


A friend was taken poorly recently so I made this card for everyone at work to sign

Commissioned Card - for a Retirement



A colleague at work did private work for her ex NHS Consultant but as he was retiring from the private work as well a surprise party was being organised and she wanted an extra special card. I decided to buy a new CD - Card Toonz Professional Nuttyness by Andy Carolan as I knew it had a picture of a doctor on it. I told my friend it was a pity that a nurse couldn't be included but it turns out his wife is a nurse so I got to use the doctor and nurse image and then various other images as he loves gardening and also his beloved guitars. It took me some time to make up the verse but it brought a tear to my friend's eyes when she read it. The Consultant was "over the moon" with his card and it has taken pride of place on the mantelpiece for all visitors to see.

Thank You Card for My Two New Keel Dogs

The Magic of Christmas

























I was recently lucky to be given the wonderful chance of making some samples for the My Craft Studio "Magic of Christmas" 4CD set. I was given the traditional, dimension and embellishments CDs and off I went. The only drawback I had was that there were far tooooooooooooo many lovely images and found it so hard to choose which ones to use. I have been counting the hours, after some very difficult weeks, to the launch of the CDs at 9.00pm last night. I warned my husband the TV was mine downstairs as I can't get cable upstairs but he sat and watched for quite a while with me. I can't really put into words what it meant to see my cards on the shows, especially one of them which Stephanie Weightman keeps picking up and showing. I have also enjoyed seeing what the other sample makes have made with the same CDs. I shall look forward to when I am able to get a new printer that will print on vellums and acetates as these looked wonderful. The CDs are so easy to use and the images are so nice and you have such a mix of different topics that I could easily have made 10 times the amount of cards that were needed.
I feel on top of the world at the moment seeing my cards on TV.
