About Me

Hello! I have been crafting ever since I can remember. I am retired now, and have gotten more into making handmade cards. I have also done some scrapbooking and a couple orders for wedding invitations. I really enjoyed doing them! Also have a few baby items I have made, used to sew all the time, but the cards have taken over now!

Welcome to my craft room.

This is the place where I keep track of the cards I have made.

Glad you could stop by and take a look.



Ribbon Blanket


My youngest grandaughter is 9mos now, and she just loves the tags that are anything, and they go directly into her mouth. She also has a star that is on one of her toys, it is made of fabric, and that goes right into the mouth, but it also has some kind of filling in it that makes a crinkly noise, which she likes. So I made her a ribbon blanket and added a flower to the top, and inside the petals, I have sewn in two layers of a plastic grocery bag. So now when she grabs them, it will make the crinkly noise too! ( Everything attached to the blanket has been stitched 3x's, so that it is afixed well)


Blog-a-Doodle Challenge Card


This is my entry for the Blog-a-Doodle Challenge 4. It was made with a digital stamp image, called Riding Lesson. I started with brown cardstock, and then mounted the cowboy paper, ( Sorry the brown card edge does not show up too well in the photo). Distressed all the edges of the papers and used foam pads to add some depth to the layering. Tied a piece of raffia, and added 3 stars.


You can stop on over at www.stamp-n-doodle.blogspot.com/p/challenges_23.html and check out their other digital stamps, and challenge cards.
Finally got around to doing a few cards this week......have been too busy working outside cause the weather was so nice. Today it is freezing again, so was a good day to be in the craft room.

Another Baby Boy


This is one of Krafty Nikki's images, she has some great 3D sheets!

Baby Boy

This is an image from My Craft Studio cd. Am still not used to the program, but shall keep trying to figure it out!

40th Anniversary


Love those Art Deco images!!!

AWOL

I went to visit my granchildren, for almost 6wks, and ended up sick while I was there! Not nice to have to go see a Dr when you are in another country. Am finally getting back to normal now.

Have managed to make a few cards now, just could not get my mojo back! ( I think it is slowly returning now)

MCS Deco Lady

Another MCS Design, layered the Deco Lady, trimmed the oval with some glitter. I love Deco designs!

The Wedding Dress


Have just started using My Craft Studio program and designs, need lots more practice on putting the cards together using it. I layered the wedding dress and then added some sheer fabric to the dress.

Daisy Thankyou

Got some new punches while I was away and used one on this card. Decoupaged the bouquet of flowers and added a bow, a very simple thankyou card.

Black Shoes Card

I just got a new CD from a friend, it is a Kalidescope Program. Have spent awhile playing with it, just to see exactly what it can do........must say, I am very impressed with it!! Since I needed a Birthday card made, decided to use the program to make the background. Think I will have lots of fun with this one!


The card below has 3D shoes, and popped out the circle text, added a couple of gems and it is done!
Very simple to make!


Grandson's Scrapbook
















































































































Well, I almost have the book done, just a couple more pages and few more embellishments to add!! Why is it so hard trying to pick out which photos to use, you go through piles of them and it takes days to do that!















Have been so busy lately, just haven't had time to post anything!

Am currently working on my Grandson's Scrapbook. Which I should of had done a long time ago, but kept putting it off, cause I was too busy making cards.............well there is no card making going on until I get this book finished! Hopefully today or tomorrow.

See you all then.

Beer Glass


This is the first card I have done using My Craft Studio. It has taken me awhile to figure out how to use this program, but I think I am finally getting the hang of it! So here is the first card made using it.


Red & Green Blog Challenge

Have entered this card over at http://incywincydesigns.blogspot.com/ in the Red and Green Challenge. They have some great entries, go and take a peak!


Christmas Cards

Oh my......have never got so many cards done at one time! Must of been on a roll last night.
The first two cards are from a download I bought from Making Handmade Cards, last year, and am finally getting around to using some of them.




The next one is for a family member who loves horses! So thought this 3D Decoupaged card was fitting. I turned it into sepia colour and only coloured the wreath, added a little raffia for a bow.


This image is a Christmas Stamp, that I have had for a long time. I loved the image, but just could never figure out how to colour it, so now I don't, just make it all one colour. The background paper has been 3D, and so has the Santa image, the camera is making a shadow and the card itself does not have any blue on it!


This template of the Patchwork card, makes it so easy to whip up a card. I was lucky to get the template from the Imag-e-nation Card Group.



The following two cards are made for two of my Grandchildren and are some images that I put together for the card front, added a shadow effect and the text. Also put glitter on the baubles, but it doesn't show up in the photo.










Have entered the Blog Challenge over at http://incywincydesigns.blogspot.com/ This week the colours are Red and Green.





Penguin Christmas

This is first card done using My Craft Studio, well actually it is the first one done that I like! I did do another one but was not the least bit happy with it at all.

I am trying to learn how to use MCS, and am not very good at using it, thank goodness a good friend Lizzie, from across the ocean, is trying to help me figure it out!




Tri Shutter Mini Album

I wanted to try and don one of these Mini Albums. I finally finished after a few mistakes! lol. The template is easy to cut out, the hardest part for me was trying to figure out what to put in it!

The photos are of the cover, first page opened and opened all the way. I did not end up adding any extra embellishments, maybe on the next one I do..........was getting tired of doing the same card for two days!






















Unicorn Diaper Cake


I finally finished making this Diaper cake, I think it turned out great! It is a centre piece for a baby shower.
