Just come back from a week in Devon

This was the views from the balcony of the flat we rented in Ilfracombe To get up in the morning and sit out with these views was smashing. We befriended a Herring Gull who used to come each day for some ginger nut bisuits we named him Henry.

I made this card for my friend Heather as it was her birthday last Tuesday. I think she liked it as she has already posted it on her blog http://heather-angel.blogspot.com/ along with all the other lovely cards from the gang at Pats club. The stamp is one from my latest acquasition from stampin up called"Summer by the sea" The papers are by Basic Grey I've forgotten which one

It was my friend Angela's birthday whilst I was on holiday. She received a cricut create as a present from her husband Mike. So I made her card with the cricut design studio and Story book and Don Juan carts. I stretched the oval aperture card on Don Juan to approx 5.5 x 11 inches then welded an A from story book to the aperture then reduced the size of the A in a different window to layer on top The border punch is Martha Srewart and the flowers woodware daisy punches.

This concerina card was made for Wendy in work to take to Greece with her for a wedding she was attending. I stamped, embossed and die cut with so many different products there was too many to list them.

It was my Aunt Dorothy's 86th Birthday and I decided she would appreciate something femine I used the brass embossing/pricking stencil from docrafts. It didn't take as long as I thought I did it one evening sitting in front of the telly.

Made this card for my husbands birthday. As we were about to go on holiday I thought a beach scene might fit the bill. Stamped the letters on sea paper and used stamped shells on them then coloured them in The beach hut was from a magazine copied and decoupaged. I used paper that looks like sand as the background then added a few shells

This card I made for wendy in work it's for her husbands birthday. He is a very talented crafter and makes miniture shops from scratch. Every thing is so life like and is smaller than dolls house stuff, anyway he's latest project is a fish shop so I thought this might be a bit of fun (please note those appearing in the front of the card are no reflection of Wendy or her husband Eric) lol

I made this card for a neighbour to give to her mum. It's not very clear. I made it in bling and the picture reflects the shine. All done with die cuts, film strip and flourish- sizzix. For the letters and numbers, cricut cart Story Book and fiskers border punch for spine.
