Peppa Pig



One of my friends saw the Minnie mouse card I made and wanted to know
if I could do peppa pig, always one for a bit of a challenge I had a look
on line and had a play.  It took a couple of goes and a lot of improvising
bit you can see the finished result. 
I was quite pleased with how it turned hope you like it

see you later

Yellow orb in the sky!

 
 



Hope you are having a good bank holiday weekend?  After the awful weather
we have had the last few weeks, the lovely sunshine has been blissful. I am
having a great weekend with my lovely niece Rebecca she has stayed over
with us, as she wanted a cookery lesson!! She now knows how to make
lasagne and garlic bread plus the easiest cheesecake in the world. Besides
the cookery lesson we have also done a little crafting here is  a card I
made for a friends grand daughter you can probably tell she likes mickey
and Minnie mouse.  I love the internet you can find lots of tutorials
on how to make things and that's where I got this from and inspired by
that I also made the cupcakes. 

Hope you like the card

see you soon

LONG TIME AGO



Long time no hear, you say, I have been away on holiday for a week and its
taken a while to get back into the swing of things.

My friend Monica had a card that someone gave her, that gave me the
idea for this card for one of my mums friends.  Many moons  ago when
I first got the bug for card making I made a card of acetate which I really
liked, so obviously I never made another one, until now that is.  This
is different anyway, I am pretty sure that one would not have had
the same feel, I didnt have my big shot or that many punches so I would
have used bought embellishments instead .  I trimmed the base with this
lovely daisy ribbon that I got on holiday, can you believe in the little
town we were there was a craft shop!!!!!.

hope you like this

this started as a birthday card for my dad , but realising it could look okay if
I put it into a frame, went to our local b & m and got a frame.  I stamped all over
the frame inside with my french foliage set, then i got various stamp sets out to
stamp the pictures.  Went out with plenty of distressing .  Let me know what
you think   Sorry about the picture still havn't worked out how to change photos
round

the very least.  I only found out yesterday it was one of my friends at work
50th birthday on thursday .  So when I got home from work last night first
job was make a card to give her.  Didnt know her favorite colours but I know
she likes bright colours so I went with this scrap of the Sale a bration paper
from Stampin up.
Hope she likes it, I had to keep it simple cos the brain doesnt work that well
