Live Life to the Full

I’m a great believer in living life to the full, we don’t know what is around the corner and some would say it’s best we don’t.

My card today says it all, not a bit of colouring done on this one, it’s more of a scrapbook style layout and all done from a Kaisercraft design paper pad.

I simply love the aqua shades, just lots of matting and layering with this one, using black card to emphasize the papers.

Adding foam pads to raise some of the elements.

And finishing with a ribbon slider.

Mummus Roses–Mothering Sunday Card

Here we are and already January is nearly gone by in the blink of an eyelid.

As soon as I saw Mummu’s Roses by Mo’s Digital Pencil I thought Mothering Sunday card. I tried to keep it pretty and I think I managed.

The sweet papers are from a Graphic 45 paper pad and the whole pad is gorgeous A Lady’s Diary.

Image coloured with FlexMarkers by Letraset as I was trying out some new colours, they have some brilliant deals on at the moment.

Ribbon Carousel is where the ribbons came from.

Even Doggies Have Birthdays–Don't they?

Coloured with FlexMarkers by Letraset and some pitt chalk pencils.

Sympathy Cross

One of those cards that you never want to make but it is important that you do make one to let someone know you are thinking of them.

I’m starting this one with a close up picture of the Spellbinders Cross Die, it doesn’t just have to be sympathy that is is used for, it can be used for loads of different occasions.

I started the cross in a cream card and edged it with some suede coloured ink, I then used twine from Ribbon Carousel bound around the center of the cross I then stamped a spare piece of cream card with a script font stamp then cut one the smaller crosses and distressed it before adding on top with foam pads.

Of course with this type of card the inside sentiment is always of importance so my favourite sentiment was used.

Again using the twine to tie on the smallest of the crosses from the die set.
