Burlesque 30th Birthday

This card was requested by one of my colleagues, for a friend of hers who is into the whole burlesue theme.  It is so far out of my comfort zone I found it amazingly hard!  Thanks to all the lovely ladies who answered my plea for images on the Do Crafts forum.  I had some lovely images suggested but just couldn't find my mojo until I saw this image on the net.

Image printed, backing paper is from a christmas stack, it has a lovely glittered effect.  ribbon and gems added with a cricut cut 30. 

The lad who asked me to make this was really pleased with it which was a hge relief for me, as I can't say I was too pleased with it myself!

Thanks for looking

A catch up

Well a long time again for me, so far this year has been hectic to say the least.  But things are settling down very nicely now and I am back in my craft room more so have promised myself I will be keeping up with all the things I need to make, and ......blogging more regularly!!

I thought I would start with a quick catch up of what i have made since my last post in early June:

Quite a variety of different themes and this really is it for the past few weeks, terrible!!!!

I made the little montage using photo scape software which I downloaded free to add a watermark to my card pics when posting on blog or Do Crafts gallery.  It was recommended by someone over there (I am sorry I can't recall who it was).  You can get it here, it is very user friendly software and I think there is much more I could do but have only used it a couple of times.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you have all been well the past couple of months.  I will be back soon with some more cards to share with you.

Oh my it happened again, no posts for a loooooooong time!!!  I ha a very busy few weeks with work and am now having a week off to catch up with myself at home.  See some friends and family and do some much needed crafting, not sure how much I will fit in but going to give it all a go!.

I made this card early one morning last week as Jim who was working with us for a few weeks over the very busy time, had to leave due to the end of his contract.  He was a fab man who none of us wanted to let go, the ladies who I work with wanted to give him a card and leaving present so I was up at 6 to make this one.  He loved it and the bottle of Gin we gave him lol.

Harriet is 9

How time flies, my oldest niece was 9 on Sunday.  Bless her she wanted to come to a wedding fair with me on her birthday and then go shopping in the afternoon to spend the money we all gave her, she went o next to buy clothes, acessorize and Claire's accessories to buy jewellery etc.. she is so grown up it is scary!!!

Made two cards for her, one from me and one from my Mum and Dad.

This is the one I made for Mum and Dad to give her:

All papers Pink Petticoat, nesstie circles, number cut on cricut, handcut bunting, punched flowers and leaves, stamped Granddaughter from papermania family stamp set, pearls, gems and ribbons from stash.

This is the one I made from Myself and Steve:

This one is 8x8, digi image cupcake Kiki from CC Designs coloured with pro-markers. Dark purple card, layered with an embossed card front (I bought some pre-embossed 8x8 cards but the quality of the card is so rubbish I have been cutting them up and doing this with them.  Buttons ribbon etc from stash.  This card looks better IRL but I couldn't seem to pick up the colours when I took the pics

Thanks for looking xx Lynsey xx
