Just a Dress

This is a little dress that I stamped a couple of weeks ago but never got round to making it up untill now, it is a DL size card layered with papers that have been punched down one edge the image is couled with the stamping up ink, a blossom, ribbon and pearls to finish

This is a close up of the dress stamped directly onto card then re-stamped onto parchment, cut out at attched on top of the image.

Cuttlebug Coffee & Cream Swirl

The stamped images are slear stamps by Impression Obsession called Smell the Coffee.

I used the Cuttlebug Swirl embossing folder behind the stamped images

The Fancy edges are New Border Punches by Adorna sent to me by a very dear friend Katie you just have to check out her blog

Left Handed Stamping

Well this is my first card for a good while and as the title says I hand to stamp it with my left hand I only did a little bit of stamping and it was a succession of mistakes on my first few tries but I got there in the end.

Tomorrow I'll post my second card as I still need to put it all together although I got a bit more adventurous and tried left handed cuttlebugging lol!

the papers added to the card below are by Glitterami and the stamps are from the sale-a-bration by Stamping Up

As you can probably guess my hands are slightly better although still quite a challenge to make cards.

I think I probably got into crafting when I was born because my mother is very crafty. I don't remember aa time when I didn't craft.Now a days I get inspiration from the challenge blogs. I only started finding crafty blogs in Feb and since then I have made more things than I have in the last 5 years.Those rubber stamps are making my mouth water.Blessings,Christine

Today is my Birthday

21 again (cough) I'm going to work this morning as we are so very busy there. Normally I would book the day off as a holiday as I get quite embarrassed at the whole Happy Birthday thing, why?... I'm not sure.

I have received some fabulous cards from friends and family which I will show you all later.

My strangest present is a couple of Telephone tables from Chris (husband) not his idea but mine as my Mam bought me a beautiful unusual vase and humongous flowers in rich browns and creams and I needed something nice t stand them on as a focal point.

Shocking News

Well today I had to go out and buy a Mothers Day card, I had made one with a friend for my Mam but intended making one for my Mother in Law but unfortunately my hands are still not working.

Silly thing is I have a pile of cards but none that she hasn't seen already, now some good did come of it as I bought a hand made card that someone else had put the work into so at least I still did my bit for us crafters.

I'm thinking now that maybe a trip to the doctors should be made but it will have to wait untill next week.
