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.

I made this card for the girl in work to send to a friend. Nice bright primary colours, papers daisyd's, train cuttlebug die, frame by nestabilities and the teddie is a papermania stamp

Didn't think I would have a use for this spring burst paper by papermania when I bought the pad but it fitted in well with this 70's look. Campervan stamp by little Clair

This is the 2nd card for Freda when I started to make the card it seemed quite dark then decided it needed to be more jolly so out came the sizzix dies again and the trusted bubbly bottle, the card is from stampin up

This is the first of 11 cards my friend Freda has ordered for the coming year. she has retired now but still likes to order handmade cards.This card has been stamped and glittered onto acetate. its a large square 7.5 x 7.5 The number stamps are from crafters companion Die cut letters from storybook cart on the cricut

I made this for the girl in work for her Dads birthday It's A4 size It was easier to design it as a scrapbook page. I stamped the circle ,the rest was done with cuttlebug embossing folders. The letters and the circles were cut on the cricut. The green and yellow card are from stampin up

I love the colours on this card I used my promarkers , as I only have a few I had to base the colour of the paper around them. I used my design studio on the cricut to cut the oval to size to fit the stamp and a scallop mat to match. and of course a martha stewart border punch

Made this for the chap in work for his daughter. I used the lovely papermania paper by Clare Curd's signature range. I used sizzix dies for ballons and hearts, quickutz for scallop frames and cricut storybook for letters and label

Had an order from work for a couple of Graduation cards for a friend in USA good job it was only for 2 as I run out of ideas

made a couple of these, it was much easier and more accurate making the frames with the cricut machine than by hand

Made this a while ago as a leaving card. One of the girls in work wanted to see it again, so here it is.
