Clarity scarescrow

Goooood moooooorning and happy Monday to you all.

I hope this week flys by because I can't wait until the weekend, although I've got a bit of crafting to do before then.

Today I'm showing you my card I made using my Clarity products.  I love the scarecrow image gently blowing in the breeze.  I kept along the same colour schemes (oranges and browns), I started with putting masking tape around the edges to the picture sat in the centre then I brayered the field in along with the sky and stamped the scarecrow and grass bushes in place.  I finished off the card with gold outline pen, matting and layering a small piece of raffia in the corner.

Thank you for taking the time to have a look.

Commissioned ruby anniversary card

Good afternoon everyone,


How is your Sunday going?  I am having an incredibly lazy crafty Sunday (with help from Kerbey).  Today I thought I would share with you a recent Ruby Wedding Anniversary card that I got asked to make from a colleauge I used to work with.  She had seen another tea-light card that I made and had on my blog and requested one similar for this.  I instantly thought simplicity with a hint of red.  I'm very pleased as to how this turned out including the box envelope I made to go with it.

Thanks for stopping to have a look :)

2 commissioned birthday cards

Morning folks!

As promised here are the two cards I made for a colleague who I used to work with.  They were for her daughter Maya's 1st birthday, one from her and her husband, and one from her son titled to his sis.  They were 2 large A4 cards.  I did one easel card with a hello kitty theme and had a photo to put on it too.  The second one was personalised with a photo of Maya and her brother.  I loved doing these cards - pink, pink, pink and girly :)

I hope you like them.  Thank you for stopping by to have a look.

Sorry it's been a few weeks but this is why....

Good evening everyone,

I'm so sorry I haven't blogged for a few weeks but I have had very good reasons why..... I got a kitten!  All my time has been with my wee darling - Kerbey!  She is absolutely adorable and I love her to bits!  Ians boss got me the kitten and said on one condition, I HAVE to call him or her Kerbey after their company 'Kerbey Motors' and I actually love the name - she suits it very much!  (Infact she's lying on the couch looking over my shoulder here as I'm typing).  Here is a pic of her...  she's so tiny!

And here I was attempting to craft - which was out of the question, she was trying to help too much :)

Anyway, with Kerbey and starting my new job I've kind of been busy (lot to get my head round in my new job!) but I'm back crafting now and I'll be back tomorrow with the cards I had done a couple of weeks ago for a friend of mine.
