Time Flies when you are having fun!

HELLO!!! I am back after a longer than planned break from the blog - my exams are done and I found out last week that I passed the first one, I should find out about the final one next week so am keeping everything crossed!  I've also been away on holiday in Turkey and only got back in the early hours this morning, glad I seem to have brought the sun back with me, I think I will be spending the afternoon in the garden pretending I am still on holiday! :-)

Anyway enough about me and my goings on, the reason I am here is to share some more of my recent card makes with you - please let me know what you think!

Using step cards and printers block lettering from Craftwork Cards and for you circular sentiment and all our dreams stamps from Lili of the Valley I created a couple more personalised new baby cards.



Next up is a 4x4 card which uses backing paper from Dovecraft's Princess Fairytale collection, and I have stamped the warren design onto a circular die cut - I was going to colour it in but I actually really liked it as it was so that is how it stayed!


Time certainly flies when you are having fun, speaking of which I have created a number of new cards using the TimeFlies collection from Craftwork Cards  The first of which was made for my sister for her graduation and I love it!



This next card again uses the TimeFlies collection and I have added a few strips of washi tape a friend bought me for my birthday as I thought the colours matched pretty well for this collection.  The card design was inspired by a sketch I saw on Seize the Sketch blog way back at the beginning of August!  Unfortunately I made this card a little too late to enter the contest but I had fun making it and that is all that matters! :-)


The above card was for my parents wedding anniversary, and used the happy circular sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley which works perfectly as it has little butterflies on it.  I cut the purple circle out of an off cut of card and used the left over section to make the below simple 4x4 birthday card.  Always good to use up every last bit of card!


Finally, I made the below card for my friend at work just before my holiday as she had already seen all the other cards I had already made up and so I wanted to make a new special one for her.  Thankfully it arrived on time for her birthday!


So, That's all for now, I plan on enjoying a bit more sun and then I will be starting to get on with making some Christmas cards as well as whatever else takes my fancy or my creativity allows! 

Until then, take care :-)
