Went to see my new Persian Kitten for 1st time today. Will be getting him on 12th May when he is 12 weeks. He is lovely, so cute and cuddly. Decieded on a name for him. Is going to be called Oliver or Olie for short.
Some charity cards made for my local hospice. Not really my thing as such but trying to give them different styles that would sell for them. Even though not really my cup of tea a lot peeps seem to be going for oriental / egyptian look at moment.
First attempt at following a template. Decided to try something different and have made a card keeper with my bia. Insides are 10 envelopes that I have used to store different cards. Sympathy, Baby, Mens Birthday, Womens Birthday, Wedding etc. Saw the idea on a thread in UKS and been meaning to make one for my mum so she has a little supply of cards and challenge gave me a perfect excuse to give it a go.
Card I made for Crafty Templates Challenge from free Western Boot Template www.craftytemplates.co.uk/WesternBootTryMeTemplate.pdf Went for Line Dancing Look rather then real cowboy. Great Template.
I know a bit early for Christmas cards but in Rudolph challenge on uks to make 5 cards on 25th of each month. Only just started so this will be classed as January offerings and will play catch up and make 5 for February in next few days.
I am on a roll here is my second ever Magnolia Card. Did this one with my favourite color which is black. I know that some may see black as a drab color but I love it. I always think it has a certain classy feel about it.
My first ever Magnolia card (in fact my first ever stamped card) , made it for papertake weekly challenge which was to use stripes. I love this striped paper and made a mothers day card with it. My coloring takes a lot to be desired but first attempt at watercoloring so won't be too hard on myself and am sure I will get better with practice.
Altered Ribbon Box that I have just finished to keep some of my ribbons in. I love ribbons but when you start to sort them out you realise just how many you actually have.
