This weeks catch up!!

Hi to you all,  i hope that you are all well!!

I have been happily working away this week on a Farm Yard themed scrapbook, which is almost complete!
I have thoroughly enjoyed working on this as i have really been able to express myself and get creative (which in return has left my hands full of ink stains!!!

I have for you afew sneak peak pictures although i will be adding the entire scrapbook when it is complete.

Also for you all is a few pictures of the Tags i made for Alex Jane Photography in use, i must say i think they look even better when used for purpose!!https://www.facebook.com/#!/AlexJanePhotography

Birthday Celebrations!!!

Hello again everyone.....i hope you are all having a lovely day despite the miserable weather!!!

Today is my Youngest son's birthday, he has turned four and there have been lots of birthday celebrations going on over the last few days!
It also just so happened to be my little boys teacher's birthday too, so you can imagine that i took advantage of the situation as i don't need much in the way of an excuse to get crafting!!!

My son is a massive fan of all things fireman Sam, he loves fire engines and all things related to being a fireman. I didn't want to make something for him that you could typically buy on the high street so i went with the following design, it was both age appropriate and simple!

I used a 'Broken Box' Digital stamp coloured with pro markers

with a plain black card blank, layered with red textured Card stock, Red white and

Blue Striped papers and red and white polka dot paper.

Down the right hand side of the card is a simple present border stamped in white ink!

Overall, i am very happy with how this Card turned out!

 

 

Next Card was for my sons teacher. Now as he has just turned four and is in 'Nursery Class' still so I wanted the card to be quite cute, but i also wanted it to have a more grown up feel to it something that might appeal to an older lady (not Old i might add). When i saw this Digital Stamp, it looked so much like my gorgeous little boy, from the soft eyes to the moppy hair and the cute little smile that it was just absolutely perfect to put onto this card!!

 

I decide to use Recycled Brown Card stock for this as i quite like the texture of the card,

and i love that you can see the grain of the card also, i think that this really brings

something to the overall look. Next i added some vintage circle stamps for the back ground and

a rectangular stamp to back the image on. I added a stained string bow and two buttons as embellishments. To add finishing touches i used distressed inks on the card its self and the backing of the image!

 

 



Some New Creations!!

Hi to you all today......Well i wanted to share with you afew creations of which i did for a photographer 'Alex Jane Photography' . These were designed specifically for her, to go on mummy bumps of on new babies.

I used old brown kraft Card stock afew distressed inks and  the visible image stamps....Classic Face and Grunge flourish!!
Over all i think these have worked really effectively!!!

Today I wanted to show you all a couple of my recent Creations!! Both customers were extreemly happy when they recieved these.

The First Creation was for the customers 80 Year old mum.
I was give the specifiaction  of several things, that her mums favourite colour was navy blue, that she loved Gardening and long verses, and she wanted something that said even if she doesnt say it her mum means the world to her. Customer also wanted mum on the front of the card and 80 but somewhere to add her name so her mum knew the card was handmade just for her!

so the Following Creation is what i came up with. The Image is a digital Stamp from The Paper Shelter Hand couloured using Pro Markers.

 

Next up on recent Creations.

 

I was approached by a local mum to create a minnie mouse themed birthday card for her daughters 2nd Birthday. She had seen my previous minnie mouse creations and decided to order.

However i do not liking making two of the same card, i will always change something to ensure each and every one of my customers get something made uniquely for them.

 

Here is what i came up with....

 

 



I Layered the image of Minnie Mouse to give a more 3d image, overall i think that this looks quite effective.

Following are previous minnie creations

 

 

Coming up soon will be some very special gift tags required for a photo shoot. Keep a look out for my next Blog!!

Good morning everyone, today is going to be a busy day and i m feeling creative!

On the cards for the day from DontForgetTheCardXx is wedding stationery, a scrapbook for a 3 year old little boy, some special gift tags and a few cards.....(so not too much).

Also on the cards today and very close to my heart is to design a very special scrapbook full of happiness for a very special person who unfortunately has just embarked on a battle with leukaemia! We all need things to keep our spirits up during tough times so this will be an honour to make, for an amazing person!!
Keep a close eye on this blog as we will be organising raising money in aid of cancer research soon and donations when this has begun will be greatly appreciated!!!
