Yesterday I had quite a productive day (for me). I ended up doing two birthday cards and three birthday atcs.

this one is for a friend at work who has one of those 0's birthdays this week. I actually intended to do a completely different style of card but didn't like how it was turning out - I was following a project design - so I butchered it and this was the end result. Its from Debbi Moore Desings and from the Evergreen cd.

and this one is for a friend on one of my groups, again from Evergeen. Using offcuts.

I am in love with this cd and the other one I got at the same time - Glitter and Glitz Paris Glamour although I haven't used that one yet as I got some sample papers/toppers in the magazine which I'm going to use first. I have a wedding anniversary coming up so thats going to be perfect for the Paris set.

Bad me watched DM on Create and Craft and now have a list of cd's I want....... christmas presents methinks or though I'm not sure I can wait that long *g*

Here's a Birthday card I made using cardstock and embellies from Lets Make Cards and the gorgeous background paper (it was a shame too use it, as its so pretty) was from a craft goody swap, from Helen.

oh its been forever.....

since I posted on here! Wonder if there's a record for non-posting?? Here's two cards I made for a friends birthday. Decided to go with the red one.

made a new card today for a swap themed 'gems, swirls, flourishes,

I had fun stamping (and made a mess) but not sure if I like the finished result, maybe teabagging the card would have been better - going to try that out tomorrow......

Now I have all my crafting stuff (for want of a better word) upstairs in a corner (which is slowly taking over) of the spare bedroom, I seem to be crafting alot more. Mmm, is that good or bad *g* ANd have now got about 8 atcs to my name, all bundled up in a little, well, bundle! So here's a couple

The top one: the picture is from artezine, with black then copper ink embossesd round the edges. (this was one of my first attempts with an heat gun)

The bottom one: is a mix of crayon (for the background) and acrylic paint (for the filled hearts) with a couple of peel offs I came across.

I'm actually going to post my July dues for ukatc tomorrow *preens* I've never been able to do that as quick! Only now I've got too pick which 3 to send. Yikes.

And I've also done a card for July Cardexchangeuk as well.

I'm being efficient........it won't last.

I made 2 Fathers Day cards yesterday, one for my dad and the other for Andrew from the animals (I do this every year and I get a Mum Day card from them as well *g*)





Dads - from La Pashe "Framin' Cards" range

and Andrews

In my other online life I am a fangirl *sighs* I know, I know, I should really grow up and stop behaving like a hormonally-charged teenager but I always find that bit of eye candy brightens up the dullest of days.

Anyway after watching the last ever Ashes to Ashes (what on earth am I going to watch on Fridays now? Apart from Navy NCIS and Criminal Minds?) I ended up doing an atc of it, sadly inspiration strikes me in the most wierd and wonderful ways *shakes head* I was reading "The Holiday" by Erica James and it had the quote in it, which just about sums Ashes to Ashes up and then I found the backing paper, courtesy of Royal Mail National Savings envelope I had, yes I said my inspiration is wierd! And voila!!
