Final Beau Image - well until after Christmas

It's my last Beau image until after Christmas at least, need to finish the money wallets and christmas cards and not long left to get it all done. This card is for my cousin, she isn't a pink girl and I decided to go for different colours on this one and must say i really like it. Used Summer Driggs papers and cardstock I already had in my stash, used glitter and glossy accents as well. Really pleased with the hair again and can see me using this technique a lot. The Beau images are the special offer for December and at £2.45 for three it is a fab bargain.

Happy Birthday Mum

Its my Mum's birthday today and just wanted to wish her many happy returns. I always try and make her a card in blues as this is her favourite colour and as soon as I saw these papers I knew they would be perfect. I used a Mo Manning image as it reminded me of me as a little girl, I used Patience from Mo last year and Mum loved it.

I used my bow easy to make the bow and it is so long since I used it I had to watch a tutorial lol, It is really easy to use once you know how and can see me using it much more.

Beau - Second Card

Second card using this image, didn't get the hair as good as the last one but still like it. Lots of gems and sparkle on this one. Used a craftwork card sentiment that arrived with my goody bags on Sunday, the bags are fab and where a real bargain, wish I had bought them all now.

Forever Friends

It is my Aunt's 60th Birthday and I wanted to make a card that included Forever Friends. I used decoupage from an old QVC TSV and I must say I found it very relaxing. I had forgotten how much fun it could be lol. Used glitter card and when you cut with a cricut it gets everywhere lol. Lots of sparkle on this one.

Another Birthday Card

Well I spent the weekend making birthday cards and I had five to do so they took some time lol. I posted the first one yesterday and today is the turn of the second one. I have used a new Beau image from Digistamp boutique and she is a dream to colour. I have used her three times on the cards I made this weekend so you will be seeing a bit more of her. Used my bow easy again and this time went for a double bow, not easy to see in the picture but effective irl.

A Birthday card - Yeah

I decided to finally use some of the paper mountain that is slowly taking over my craft room. I bought this pack a few years ago and am ashamed to say this is the first page I have used and even after making the card I have only used a 1/4 of a sheet lol. Still going for the simple look, need to be more adventurous but am making cards again so it is a start. Thought with the snow my craft room would be cold so have avoided going in there but decided last night I have so many birthdays this month I needed to get a wriggle on and it was toasty, it is a small room with a decent sized radiator and I could have stayed in there all night.

Christmas Card - day 10

I just love these cute images, a dream to colour and so easy to embellish. You might have noticed that there is very little on these cards except the odd button, well there is a reason, the cost of postage. I will be adding a few gems, card candy or combo of both but not until i know they will fit through the postage slot. I am not an old miser before you ask just begrudge having to pay extra just cos there is a button on it.

Anyway on to todays card, another simple affair although there is a large layer of stickles on this one. I am loving this Zoe Pearn paper, love the colours, patterns and oh well everything actually lol. I only own three kits by Zoe but can see a new addiction forming. Once I find a designer I like I seem to want everything they have ever made lol.
