It is our neighbour's little boys birthday so I used my Crafter's Companions Boys CD and made this card "Under the Sea"

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!!!!!

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

Commissioned Card for someone into trains

A customer of mine was asked by a friend whose husband's birthday was coming up and she wanted a special card for him. Yet again it was more trains.

Joanna Sheen Card Swap

The topic for this months' Card Swap was a Country Garden. I looked on various CDs and came across this lovely CD and used My Craft Studio to make the backing paper, inserts and added embellishments.

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.

I was asked to make a card for a special boyfriend who is into buses. I found an image and then used My Craft Studio to add text and make an insert

Card competition

Colemans Warehouse had a competition to win £50 worth of crafting goodies so I had to try and have a go. I spent sooooooooooooo long on it even though I wasn't well but didn't win so I was very disappointed. I used Crafter's Companion Boys' CD for this one

I have just bought Jayne Nesterenko's new Cute Companions CD and some of her stamps so have tried them out on a card for a wedding anniversary card.

Card for a friend

It was a friend' birthday recently and as I had been to a Cardmaking event to see Jayne Nesterenko I decided to have a go at stamping. I used her Cute Companions CD and some of her mice stamps to make this card along with the Rock-a-Blocks from Crafter's Companion.
