A little birdie

Am I glad to be posting again. Thanks to all the ladies who left me lovely messages on the Cricut message board, I wish I could copy them onto my blog for keeps as they get lost very quickly once new post go on. Sorry I have deserted you all for so long, I have been poorly, then just to cap it all I have had problems with the computer. I haven't got any further with my album but have several cards to share.
The first one being a little birdie told me. This was a free stamp with issue 83 of Simply cards and papercraft. I have used this cut before this is just another take on it and I love the stamp.
The base card is 6 x 4 inches (A2). I don't usually make cards this small because of my vision but it is the size needed to fit into the Craft for life, Cancer Research bags that I want to make some cards for. I have enjoyed doing them. I will share others with you now that I think I have solved some of the computer problems. Still looking for help with the blog template being narrow if anyone can tell me how to solve that it would be great.

Tweet wishes

I have gone very plain for this card, sort of, less is more. I have made it before but not posted it so have included pictures of both. I first used the idea as part of a much bigger card I made for my granddaughter Katie's card with the pigs. The tweet bit is really inside as I have added a musical insert which plays happy birthday. I love the musical inserts it was fun to give, I have used two this week but haven't been able to source where to buy more. I will have to get internet searching. It has been good to do some cards. I have been so busy and tired lately I have not been able to spoil myself with card making time. I added some tiny black stones after taking the photo.

What next for Katie

The card I made for Katie this year is my most favourite yet. I got the idea from Jeannie Phillips blog  A place for my cards. Infact it was following Jeannie's blog and others linked to her that gave me the courage to have a go at starting a blog, so thanks for all the help by sharing and the fun I am now having.
