Graphic 45 And Imaginise.

Some of you might remember that I won a fabulous Imaginise stash from Me and The Little Rascals last year. 

Well, I've just gotten around to using some of it. Fun papers to use and this card is made with some of the Perfectly Posh Collection. I felt that such a busy paper didn't really need much else so I kept the embellishment to just one beautiful flower from The Clip Cafe.

Check out the flower centre! Too gorgeous!

Next the continuing love affair between myself and Graphic 45. I know I've said   this before but these papers are to DIE FOR! Love, love, love Graphic 45 and Once Upon A Springtime.

I think this is my all time favourite card. Love the colours and the dimension. In the next lot of photo's I've tried to capture the 3D elements but not being much of a photographer they don't quite show it properly.

And, of course, you've spotted the obligatory glitter!

2 Posts In As Many Days!

I think it's a record for me!

I was on a roll this afternoon and managed to make 3 cards.

The first one is a birthday card for one of my daughter's boy friends who is turning 10 next week. I had these huge playing cards that were dying to be used and the 10 was perfect for this card.

The next two were made with Valentines Day in mind.

This one is similar to one I made and posted here last year. You can see it here. I had to break out the glitter again!

And the last one I thought would be nice for a male to receive for Valentines Day.

Happy papercrafting!

2 More MYO Cards.

For those of you that are regular lookers of my blog you'll already know about MYO Card Kits. If this is your first visit you can check out what it's all about here.

PS: More glitter too!

And a glittery close-up!

I Love Glitter!

I love how it looks in the little bottles I keep it in. I love how it ends up everywhere no matter how hard you try to be careful. Most of all I love how it changes the whole look of an embellishment.

This is the first card I've made using my MYO Card Kit that I mentioned here yesterday and my entry into Cards For Men - Challenge No. 24 Christmas Cards.

Apart from having a whole heap more Xmas cards to make I have the teachers gifts to make as well. I have all the supplies ready and plan to make a start on them tonight.

Can you see what all those goodies might become?

Arrhhh! Bad Photos.

My entry in the 2 Sisters Challenge - No designer paper.

Such a nice card, such a bad photo! 

Some of you may know I haven't had a computer for a week, yes a WEEK!! By the time I uploaded these photos from the camera, which by the way looked perfectly fine on the camera, the card had been packed up and sent off to my lovely friend. So no opportunity to retake a better photo. Oh well, my friend and I know how nice and sparkly it really is.

As you have no doubt guessed it's a wedding card, with sparkly entwined hearts, which are Kaisercraft wood flourish hearts, Modge Podged and glittered.

And my new, new favourite bow to do.

Again, the detail is really hard to see but the card was truly beautiful!

Moving on......

I want to tell you about a lovely new blog by Liz Weber. Some of you may already know Liz from her blog I Love Creating Cards. Well she has combined her cardmaking love with her love of coordinating card kits and come up with Make Your Own Cards. Please visit and have a look at her very first Merry Christmas card kit!!

Blingin' Wall Art.

Good morning everyone. Monday again! 

 I have had some Kaisercraft "Bloom" paper for ages and hadn't used it because the pattern was to big for cards but it was perfect for this canvas.

I adhered the paper to the canvas with PVA glue and the center panel is paper covered foamboard adhered to the canvas with double sided tape. I covered a wood flower and flourish (also Kaisercraft) with glitter to bling them up and added a a stamped butterfly, rhinestone flowers and ribbon.

It's now hanging above my daughter's bed but it would also look lovely on a mini easel don't you think?
