Victoria's Birthday & Engagement cards








Crafting back to full swing! Used my Meltpot for the first time last week (thanks for the help Kerry). The hearts on the Engagement card were my first attempt and really pleased with the outcome. All 3 birthday cards are for my daughters birthday - used metal work frame for the first time, made a flower with the meltpot (need more practice with this). The doggy card I made from Alfie & Archie.
Thanks for looking.

CRAFTING AT LAST!


I have been away from crafting now for over 18 months and, finally, I am back in my craftroom. I have made lots of cards this week and these are just a small sample of what I have done. Going to take me a while though to get my inspiration back! Thanks for looking

birthday card




This is a card I have made for my very good friend's birthday on the 8th April. It was made using Dawn Bibby's new kit, Martha Stewart punches and some coloured bazil stock. Took me ages to make this as I have been away from crafting for so long. thanks for looking.

Paperdolls challenge


The bi-monthly challenge on the Paperdolls was to make a shopping list holder. Can tell I have been away from crafting for far too long as I think I have made this too big and too fussy. Hope whoever receives it likes it.

Back crafting again!

After a break of over 14 months, I have finally ventured into my craftroom. Lacking a bit in the imagination area but hope it will all come back to me asap. Have so many new gadgets to learn how to use so expect to have lots of mistakes etc ending up in the bin!!lol


Definitely getting the hang of it now!!


My second attempt with the ProMarkers - a bit better this one I think.

Back crafting again!




This was the first card I made using my ProMarkers - not sure I have got the hang of it yet!

Back crafting again!




It is my daughter's birthday soon and, as she was born in 1977, thought she might like this card, purely as a joke.

Baby cards



As most of you know, I haven't done any crafting since last November when my husband bought me a Cuttlebug as part of my Christmas present. So, after months of it sitting on top of a wardrobe, I decided I really had to have a go. A friends son and d/i/l had a new baby daughter on Good Friday so I made a card for the parents and grandparents. Love the Nestabilites and cuttlebug dies and folders and hope I have done them justice with my first attempts. Thanks for looking.

log fire







As some of you will know, my husband Paul is seriously ill so, inbetween looking after Paul and our puppy Archie, there is no time left for crafting. Before we knew how ill Paul, was he decided to take out our old fireplace (which I absolutely hated) and fit a new log burner. After the old fireplace was removed, we discovered the original Victorian fire opening behind so Paul opened it up and this is the end result. Thanks for looking.

Archie in the snow



This is the latest photo of our lovely Archie enjoying the recent snow. He is now 12 weeks old and loves the snow.

As promised, here are just a few of the many photos our daughter took of Alfie and Archie on Saturday night (the day we got them). They are so cute and soooo well behaved - couldn't imagine life without them now. Hope you enjoy looking at them.

Sad news re Alfie

Poor little Alfie died this morning. The breeder took him to the vets again and he had a chest infection and he was too small and too weak to recover. The vet had to put him to sleep. Victoria is extremely upset but, at least, she will now have the other black and tan who she will also call Alfie.
