A Christening Gift

We have been invited to a christening on sunday and
rather than get a card and inspired by something  i
had seen on several blogs i decided to to make a 
keepsake.  I know its a lousy picture but today we
have either had blizzard conditions or bright sun
neither of which has been very good for taking 
photos i am really pleased with how it came out
and will be making more given the chance 

see you soon

freshly made sketches challenge

Thought i would have a go at this weeks freshly made sketches challenge as
i haven't done one for ages this didn't take too long deciding what colours
to use seemed to take longer.

Let me know what you think

love ali

its raining again!!

Here is a card i nearly forgot to make, one of my card customers gives
me a list at the begining of  the year of cards she would like, and i make them
in plenty of time and i nearly missed this one, i pulled out a little doll
embelishment that i have had for a couple of years and made the card
round that i quite like the finished product. I hope you have noticed the
photographs are gettting better found the best place to take them

see you later

love alix

busy busy busy

Its been a while i know, i have been making cards but got a bit lax at blogging 

them partly because they were for people who sometimes follow my blog.  This 

card is for my stepmum for mothers day.  I have been buying my stampin up 

supplies  from my lovely friend monica since i started crafting and she put some

lovely bits to play with this time.  I really really want this dress die its currently 

at the top of my wish list but it will have to wait for a while i am trying to use what 

i have rather than buying even more. Having used the die cut i now want it even more

The next card i copied from a card i saw on a blog  i think it was kates krafts   

I had very different plans for my mums mothers day cards but i really liked what

i saw on the blog so i more or less copied it with a bit of a change. The one thing

i did like was colouring my new flower ribbon from stampin up you cant see it 

very well but i just did the tips of the ribbon it gave it a really nice look 

let me know what you think
