Happy New Year!

I thought that I would start the year off with some more Forever Friends cards, which were quick and easy to make.

The background papers are from a range of different Forever friends paper stacks.

Hope you like them!

























Here are the December Forever Friends Christmas cards as promised -  Hope you like them!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish every one a very HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!

Looking forward to adding new designs in the New Year!























Here are some new handmade cards made using the Forever Friends "Santa's On His Way" paper stack.

The paper and bear images were great to work with, and I'm really pleased with the way they've turned out.

Hope you like them too!  More to come next month!






















Here are my new cards for October 2009.

I've used Making Memories paper stack again, this time I've incorporated two of the little birds!

I've also made two more triple flower cards in complementary colours, and an Urban Prairie flower card.

Hope you like them!

Next month will be dedicated to some new cards made using 'Forever Friends at Christmas'... cannot wait to do them!


















Love this bird design, from Making Memories paper stack, given to me by my daughter, who could not resist it!

After that I concentrated on floral designs, using Papermania pastels and speciality paper kits.

I've also used Blueberry Hill paper, which is very pretty, with romantic roses!



















Here are my latest cards for August 2009; I used Basic Grey 'Euphoria' paper and had my first attempts at gate-fold cards - hope you like them!




















Here's my new collection for July, based on butterflies, birds, flowers and garden themes - very appropriate for July!

 I really enjoyed putting these together, though some of them  took a lot of work!

 













Here are my new designs for June which are very cute  -  Bubbles the Bear, Candyfloss the Rabbit, Daisy the Dog and Pickles the Elephant!

Background papers are from the Picnic Patch paper stack, which co-ordinates very well with the characters.















Here is my new range for May.

I have used the Clare Curd signature range entitled 'The big one'.  I am very pleased with the results, when I first saw the large stack, I fell in love with it straight away, and could not wait to get home and start making some new cards.   I found the paper very easy to use, especially the way it all blends together.  I am going to have a go at making some slightly smaller ones next, in a 6x4 size, as I have lots of new ideas which I would like to try out.





 

  










Here are some new cards which I have recently made using the Wild Blossom range from Trimcraft, which I recently purchased at the Paper Mill shop.

 I am very pleased with them! After making one, I liked it so much I went on to make several more. 


 The colours are very vivid, and the stack was a pleasure to use over and over again.


















Hi have made some new cards this month! I showed them to my two daughters last weekend and they insisted that I upload them. I have used Papermania Retro Florals collection and KC  papers with butterfly shapes and flowers from the Elements range.




These two cards are very similar to each other with regards to the papers that I have used. The only difference is the butterflies.









Again, these two cards have  the same layout but I have used slightly different Papermania papers.














I really like these last two cards. I have used some bendy wire to put the flowers on at the bottom and I have made the flowers in the centre at the top 3D by using sticky pads to make them stand out more.
