Wow, it's been a while!

Can't believe the last time I blogged was in November last year!!!

It's been a hectic couple of months! College exams, projects and presentations and Christmas card orders by the dozen do not go well together :P haha. I get my semester results on Monday, hopefully they'll all be OK :D

I took advantage of my lack of internet this morning to sort out some of the photos of cards I've taken over the last year and sort them into the folders I keep them in, so I'm hoping to blog some of these over the next little while :)

I got a request for a card for a boy with cerebral palsy, his grandmother wanted a special birthday card for him for his 21st, he plays wheelchair football and she wanted some kind of theming around that. To be honest, it was very hard to find any kind of wheelchair images, there are one or two that I found but none that were football related, so the wonderful Lisa Bloobel of Bloobel Stamps helped me out by supplying me with this beauty :D He's perfect! He's called Football Crazy.

Ingredients

Image - Bloobel Stamps - Football Crazy

Doodlebug papers, the cutouts are from the pack as well

MS star border punch

Ribbon from stash

Red dewdrops and ricrac from Ribbon Girl

Marianne Design number dies

Coloured with Copics

Sentiments printed on the computer

Hana's card :)

Evening all

Just a quick post to share the card my lovely 11-year-old niece Hana made to give her mum for her birthday. Aside from printing out the papers and image, and cutting them out, she did it all by herself :)

She picked out this adorable little mermaid to colour in :) It's from Lili of the Valley.

The papers are from Pixel Paper Prints

Charm and dewdrops from Ribbon Girl

Ribbons from stash

Sentiment printed on the computer

She coloured with my Copics

Lashings of Stickles and Glossy Accents :)

She'd love to get some nice comments on her card I'm sure, so feel free to let her know if you like her card :)

She'd like to enter it into the Simon Says Stamp Kids Challenge.

Thanks for having a look!

Good evening everyone!

I'm writing this from my hotel room after a loooong couple of days in the lab... It's nice to be able to get to enjoy some free time in the hotel at last! I'm away from home doing lab training for my college course at the moment, the days are draining physically and mentally but I feel good (albeit very tired and a bit shaky) after doing them :) The air pressure in the labs is kind of strange so makes me feel a bit out of sorts, but I am finished for now :) Enjoying the hotel with my mum and sister, going to sleep in a bit later in the morning :D

Anyway, back to crafty stuff :) Today over at All Dressed Up Stamps, there have been some lovely new images released - they're all fab so you should take a look :D I made a card using the gorgeous new "Dreaming of Summer" image - isn't she gorgeous?
