Bee happy

It’s good to be back on my blog again, I didn’t get chance to do a post before going away, thought I’d be clever and do posts while on holiday camping in the Lake District and then Chester, but I forgot to take the information I needed. (I did remember to pack the undies LOL) I also had to pack pills and potions as I have been unwell for the last 6 months with allergic reactions mostly all over my face and spreading elsewhere.

So far tests have revealed I am allergic to paper, paper products, adhesives, glue, varnishes, glazes, cosmetics and a whole host of other stuff. Not bad for a paper crafter and who’s day job entails handling forms all day! A big thanks to my followers for sticking with me while I’ve not been posting much.

Here are some cards I made a while ago using one of my old favourite cartridges, Walk in my garden. The photo’s aren’t that good but I hope to re-make some of them as they are a very versatile cut/card that can be used for all types of occasions. I have also made them adding dry enbossed butterflies which adds texture. I can't wait to get crafting again.

I used different coloured paper inserts which show behind the cuts.

Celebrating with chocolate

As I promised some time ago here are the pictures of a project  I had been working on, decorating 50 bags of chocolates which were given to the members attending the 20 year celebration party. All the cuts were done with Walk in my garden the ladies seemed to like them.

I can not claim the fame for the cake although I wish I could.

Time for a drink

I bought the base card already embossed which made it a quick card to make but I loved the result. 

I haven't forgotten you all, I have been busy decorating 50 bags of chocolates, a project I will share with you when it's finished. The amazing thing is I haven't eaten any!

Snail mail

I chose this card as my first post because of the time it has taken me to get started!

I made this card for my neice, my friend Sue wants me to be late with her card so she can have one, at this speed that won't be difficult to achieve!

Doodlecharms envelope, I first created the text in word then used the centre point feature to cut so text was where I wanted it to be. (I can't remember the size sorry)
