This is the card I have made for a special friend's birthday next week. I have used the football image from the sporting george collection from Charmed Cards and Crafts . This download comes ready coloured or transluscent and I chose to use the coloured one.  I have chosen the sketch from Sketch Saturday # 159 and followed the recipe from allsorts challenge week 107 - Recipe for the boys. The recipe was 1 Backing Paper, 2 Punches or dies and 3 buttons. I used a corner punch on the blue card pannel and distressed the edge with blue ink. The image has been matted with a nestie. I have added ribbon and silver sentiments as accents. I am also entering this card into the following challenges: Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #138 - A male Card Paper Play Challenges - week-23 Father's day/mans card Creative Inspirations - Challenge 115 Card for Dad/Man in Life Paper Cups Challenge - Magical Monday Masculin Delicious Doodles - Father;s Day Thanks for stopping by again xx Rac...

Hi everyone, long time no type. Bet you all thought I had vanished into thin air!!! Well I haven't, I just haven't been making much in the way of cards recently and if I have they have just been quick makes and didn't take a photo. Well i'm back now and intend to make a few cards a week as I need to have my stash built up and also get those all important christmas cards made.  Well here's the first card I have made. I have used one of the Tatty Teddy Decoupage kits for this card. I know I haven't had to use my imagination much but this kit was perfect for my Dad for his Father's Day card. I just love Tatty Teddy and adore this range of products from DoCrafts. Hope you like him as I do. I love how this card has turned out even though it was a quick make. I have shaped the decoupage slightly and used glue gel for the depth. I have matted a couple of the sentiments onto some silver card stock and a silver sentiment peel of too. I am entering this card into...

Hello everyone on this lovely sunny day. It's lovely to see the sun shinning!! I made this card over the weekend but didn't get around to posting. The sketch I followed was from Mojo Monday 180 however I have missed the deadline for posting due to being slightly late. I love how cute this one looks. The image is a digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil and the theme for her current challenge is babies. Therefore I thought the baby Sleepy Sage digi image was appropriate.

This is an order I made for a regular customer who wanted to give his wife a special card/gift on their wedding day. He wanted it to include a story of their relationship on different pages. I decided to make this book for him. I used my Cinch by We R Memory Keepers to bind the book. I am really pleased with how this has turned out and he was too. Front of Book I coloured the Magnolia Bride with Copics and matted this onto some Marianne diecuts. I love the effect of these dies. The sentiment was printed on the computer and die cut using a spellbinders labels die. The papers used throughout the book are from the Bearely Mine Extreme CD Collection. I have added some flower details and added glitter to these using some stickles. The ribbon buckle and ribbon finishes the design off.
