Hope you can join Mike and Ian as I am sure you will enjoy the shows.Here is one of my design team cards to whet your appetite.

A 90th Card

Well I like the sunny weather but this card took some making. I was melting and so was the glue I had to put it in the fridge to cool it down.Pity I couldn't get in there too.I have made this book card using the Kew Floral collection CD from Kraftyhands and Angel Whispers CD from Crafters Companion.It has  five sections,three with floral decoration and two with angels as the lady who asked me to make it for her Mum wanted angels.Well flowers,angels and butterflies.The butterflies are cut from Kew papers with Spellbinders dies and the fan on the front is a Marianne die.Hope you like it.

 The box.

Pretty in Pink

Good morning.Hope it's another sunny one where you are.Time for another challenge on the Kraftyhands Blog.This month it is called Pretty in Pink.Please visit to see some lovely cards made by the design team to give you some inspiration if you need any.Here is my card made from the Summer of '59 CD.
The winner who must use Kraftyhands goodies will receive £20 to spend on their website.The top three receive a badge to display on their own blog.Look forward to seeing your creations.

50th Card

I never know what to call this kind of card.I think most people call it a star card.I have used a Hunkydory topper and backing card on the front and the other half of the backing card on the back of the book to hold the ribbon in place.I have used lots of different stamps on the pages and decorated them with flowers again from a Hunkydory sheet.Looking through the hearts I have used papers from Kraftyhands Finishing Touch and Kew Floral Collection CDs.

Equestrian Events

A card for the proud parents.

Another pretty pink card I have made,this time for my nephew and his wife.Their baby Florence Anne was born two weeks ago.
The topper is from Kanban and is mounted on a Spellbinders mat cut in silver. The backing paper is again from Kraftyhands CD Finishing Touch.The silver corners are a Joy die and the border is made with a Martha Stewart punch and a Tonic one.I have added a ribbon, some white daisies tipped with pink and some pink pearls.Oh, and a little pink heart.

New Arrival

Here is card I have made  for my brother and sister-in-law who became grandparents last week. The backing paper is from Kraftyhands Finishing Touch cd and is matted onto rainbow mirror card.The photo is cut with a Spellbinders die and mounted onto the same backing paper and then another Spellbinders die cut out of mirror card.The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley stamp.The boots are a Stampendous stamp.I have added pearls to the border on the backing paper and a little dotty bow.
