BE PREPARED

After the stresses of last christmas i made only one resolution for this year
GUESS what it was yes get prepared for christmas I would have sworn
I was guess not as it turned out.
Some of you may know I help my good friend Monica sometimes last time
I was there she had this deers head that she was going to chuck I just couldnt
let her do it it just looked too good .  So here is my first christmas card of
2014 I missed this weeks Freshly Made Sketch challenge but still made
the card anyway loved the sketch my favorite thing on the card is the bauble
hanging from the deers antlers appealed to my slightly warped sense of humour
Let me know what you think

see you soon

BAD BLOGGER

I can't quite believe its been that long since i last posted.  It's just been one
thing after another, and to finish it all off then there was christmas  I did
as usual make my christmas cards none of which I took photographs of.

Never mind there is always next year!!!   Here is a baby gift I have made
for a friend who has just had a baby girl.  You would never guess her name
would you It doesnt look very pink which it is and the letters are cut out
of glimmer paper which again you cant see

However it came out more or less as planned which is unusual.
let me know what you think

punch art

I was asked to make a birthday card, the only thing I was told was it needed
a duck on, guess what went through all my stuff only to find I appear to be
slightly lacking in ducks.  Ten google  minutes later found this really cute
punch art duck. It is definitely a  she, she has lovely sparkly eyelashes.  I
really wonder how I managed before google images!!!!

let me know what you think

it only took two years

wouldn't want you to think I was not organised but...  Two years ago  I went to
a  customer loyalty event arranged by my friend http:www.monicas-passions.blogspot.com
Monica.  We made or didn't in some cases a wreath with Stampin up material
to be fair I didn't like the material pattern.  So for two years I have said must
do something with the wreath.  This year I have finally finished it what do you
think?

See you soon

where does the time go!

This is a project I started last year and as always ran out of time.  I used
the 25 and counting set from stampin up you will also notice that 5 is
missing that's because I managed to loose it but I will cut out a 5 and
replace it before it goes into the frame.
I wanted to do this to put on my fireplace for over christmas let me
know what you think!

see you soon

Back to business

Here is another card I made for a  customer she wanted a 50th birthday card
for a friend, as I hit 50 at the beginning of the year I decided to make her one
I would have liked you don't need reminding really do you? I found something
on google images I liked and jazzed it up  a bit used some of my precious tulle
love this but once its gone there is no more.

Let me know what you think

so sad

People say never give your heart to a dog, but its hard not to when you have
a Gernan Shephard, After 12 wonderful years we lost Murphy this week.
To say I have lost a best friend is the understatement of  a life time and it
will take some time to recover from this.

My friend Monica who also lost her dog the week before sent me this card

I didnt make her a card because I couldnt come up with an idea for it obviously
she is a lot more creative than me ( definitely!!) and this is beautiful.

Thanks to everybody who has sent me messages it is nice to know that it
isnt only us who thought he was amazing he made so many friends .
