A Papermania Embossing Folder

my first Papermania embossing folder has arrived and I have to say I am very impressed (excuse the pun).  It has to give the best definition of all the brands I have used so I ran it off in different colours and 'decoupaged' the design.  I am really pleased with the result and will be looking out for more Papermania folders.

you can almost taste the cupcake.

A Special Order

from a family member for a 60th birthday card for their twin sister, and so after a couple of hours work I ended up with this...

the front of the card

 the first layer inside

then the full inside

 

and the 'stood' card.

I add lots of sister and twin quotes to the inside and adapted a sister verse to cater for a twin.

I hope both of the twins like it.

Been so busy

organising myself I have forgotten to blog - apologies - I am trying to get myself organised before I go into hospital and am planning lots of crafty things I can do for the 12 weeks I am on crutches, but here are some of the things I have been 'creating' lately.

I seem to be going through a 'Tilda' stage.

and another special card....

for a dear friend's wedding anniversary.

Happy 4th Birthday Mya

Wishing our beautiful granddaughter a very very happy birthday.  We love you so much.

and little sister Grace

and Grace with her favourite Auntie Shez



Tilda with Parasol

I am hooked on Tilda, totally addicted and liable to forget to eat or sleep - just want to create with these beautiful images.  Heaven!!!!

and inside

 

I'm a Tilda type of girl....

...and I've decided to start making some of the cards from the Magnolia magazines.  Here is the first featuring the 'Tilda and Edwin - Married Couple' stamp.  I dont think I have ever put so much on to one card, it's going to take me a while to get used to making Magnolia style cards.

and as I had gone so overboard on the outside I decided I'd better carry it through to the inside.

Can't wait to get started on my next one now.
