So, I'm going to try and get one up every couple of days until I'm a bit more caught up!

Vintage-style new home card

Afternoon everybody :)

My mum asked me to make a New Home card for some old friends of hers and dad's that have moved house recently. Mum brought me loads of craft stuff home from her holidays so I try to use some of the stuff she got me on every card that I make for her so she can see that I get loads of use out of it - she brought me home packs of Spectrum Noirs thinking she was doing a great thing, but I use Copics not Specs, so I didn't use them and feel SO GUILTY :( So I try my best to show her that all the other stuff she brought me is fabulous :) On this card what she brought me was the gorgeous papers :)

I used this fabulous Tiddly Inks house for the card, it's perfect for new home cards :D

Some of my lovely purchases from my last Live and Love Crafts order :)

I'm Back! :D

Hi everyone!

Long time no bloggy for me! I've been tied up making 100 wedding invitations and 50 evening invitations - they were super detailed so between waiting for supplies (glue taking three weeks to get here, suppliers running out of black card nationwide) and actually making the things, I've literally made about four other cards so far this year, so I'm so happy that they're finally done and dusted and handed over to the happy couple :D SO GLAD I never have to look at them again haha! I've literally been working on them non stop since half-way through January, I handed them over last Thursday, took a few days of relaxation and got back to my desk yesterday and made a card :) When the invites have finally been sent out by the bride and groom I'll share them here then :)

Hope you like it, I haven't coloured anything proper in for sooo long, colouring is a bit rusty haha!

First Birthday :)

Evening everyone :)

I got my paper woes sorted, I went to a little art shop in town and they didn't have any a4 black card, but they did have a2 size in the same brand, so I got that :) I still haven't got my glue though, and if the company I ordered from doesn't help me soon, I'm done with them haha! Two and a half weeks is far too long to wait for an order that is capable of getting here in four days. I bought an emergency tube in town to keep me going until I need enough stuff to get past the £40 free shipping limit at the wonderful Glitter Pot store haha, which never really takes long ;)

Anyway enough complaining for one day!

This is another card that I made a little while ago and never got around to blogging :)
