Fancy a Freebie?

I’m working on a few background sheets, and was wondering if you would like them.

I’m thinking summer gardens here, if enough of you would like them I’m sure I could let them go free for you.

They would make such pretty background sheets for card making or indeed scrapbook pages.

Spring Floral

I have a new free set of Background Sheets for you to download this time 6 Spring Floral themed 12 x 12 sheets I figured you’ll be ready to get into something less chilly with your card making.

We had another drama last night, our neighbour was took into hospital, I love my neighbours they are the best you could find, and elderly couple who in 25 years that we have lived here there has never ever been a cross word and that is a rarity in this day and age, say a prayer for Joyce for a speedy recovery please, I spoke to George this morning and he is quite upset as they have never been apart.

Getting Ready for Christmas

I think we all like everything in place for Christmas, The aches for the preparations tend to far exceed the day itself, But I know I for one sit down on Christmas Eve and enjoy the fruits of the labour that has gone in to making it a very special day.

The Christmas Hamper this year will be a chocolate treat ready for sharing and oh yes I will delight in saving the boxes for some craft project for the New Year, the sumptuous sheer ribbon is sure to come in handy too. of course I could divide this Christmas Hamper and give out individual Chocolate boxes but I’m just not sure if I can part with them.

 

There is one flower that just oozes the Christmas Spirit for me and that is the Poinsettia, it’s vibrant leaves scream out Christmastime and if like my Mam you have green fingers you will be able to keep it going year after year, I’m certain she talks to it.

Mine is so beautiful now that it will be the center piece on my table, Granson Jack feels the need to touch the leaves of mine each time he comes in, I think it is because they look so like velvet,if you recall I made some free sheets with my Poinsettia photo for you all. I’ve added another below.

I find the hardest gift to get is for both mine and Chris’s Mams, the trouble is that if they want something they go and get it and anything we think of they seem to already have, luckily for me my Mam already new what she wanted this year.

My mother in law was another story, in the end she asked for money but I felt that I couldn’t let the occasion pass with out getting a few gifts for her. After all I get much more pleasure in giving a gift than I do in receiving them, I love to watch the faces of them opening up the surprize don’t you?

below is the free sheet.

No Card but some Free Backgrounds

Well what a day I had on Friday, we have finally got rid of the horrible artex off the staircase and the workmen came in to put new plaster on the walls, the downside to this was I couldn’t get past them to get into my craft room and they had the back door open all day so I sat at my computer with coat and scarf on and made some backgrounds for you all instead.

Before I give you the link to the backgrounds  wanted to share with you a picture of the walls as they are starting to dry, I have a terrible habit of seeing things in shapes and in fact have had to change patterned wallpaper on many occasions because of this.

So today I found Woody Woodpecker from the cartoons and Pinocchio, can you see them?

now onto the backgrounds

These are the previews 4 in total all 12x12 scrapbook papers but can be used for your card making too.

Sketches

On trying to get back my mojo I decided to do some more sketches and share them here for you.

Here is two easy layouts for your cards or scrapbooks.

Tomorrow is a Blog Hop day and I have a fabulous project to show you all, it took forever to get the photography right but I'm really pleased with the finished items now.

Make a Wish

Well it has been a long haul to get a card made, my MoJo has been so lacking since Katie left us, the funeral is on Monday and I would like you all to say a prayer for her family.

I had a bit of a moment trying to get flowers sent to the Chapel but I managed at 3am Friday morning, silly time I know but I actually managed an early night on Thursday and climbed the stairs to bed at around 9:45pm pretty unheard of for me and resulted in me being wide eyed and bushy tailed silly a.m. Friday morning.

The image I have chosen to make a card with is Make a Wish by Mo’s Digital Pencil and the main background paper for the card I made myself and you can get it here for free

Double ribbon bow, tutorial on my sidebar in Video Tutorials, matting a layering, buttons and a lot of tears to bring it all together.

Card Ideas–Sketch Layouts

One of the things I get asked most is how I think up card designs, well I thought long and hard about this & to be honest I’m not really sure, they seam to pop into my head triggered by every day things.

Now that doesn’t help anyone that asked me so I thought a would do you some card sketch layouts as examples of what can work as card designs. I have a batch of 6 to start you off.

 

I do hope these are of some help to you all.
