Thinking of You


I made this card using Secret Garden papers from Craftwork Cards.

I actually used this as a sympathy card; the delicate, pastel colours work well.

Christmas Chocolates


Here's a couple of bags of chocolate mints that I decorated.  Each mint is sandwiched between two scalloped circles.  I then added a punched circle, a punched snowflake and a piece of Candi.

Finally I put them into cellophane bags and tied then with ribbon and a tag made from a scalloped circle, a punched circle and an In Circle message.  In total I made 13 of these bags in various colour combinations.

Advent Tree




Here's an Advent Tree that I made using a kit from Tando Creative and Frosty Papers from Craftwork Cards.

The kit and the mini advent numbers came from http://www.theverysmallcompany.co.uk/  I used Dylusions Primer followed by Coastal Blue Kaisercraft paint.  The numbers are painted with a  silver Tim Holtz Dabber and I painted them before removing them from the sheet.  I also used the Dabber to paint the top of the tree.

It did take a long time to make but it was worth the effort.

Happy Birthday Jeannie


I made this card for my friend, Jeannie - bet you can't guess how old she is today!!  She certainly doesn't look it!

Anyway, Happy Birthday Jeannie - have a fabulous day and enjoy your celebrations xxx

Thinking of You


This paper is from the new Secret Garden collection from Craftwork Cards and it is gorgeous - delicate and glittery.  I made this card as a sympathy card - it hasn't scanned very well but is actually a lovely pale green.

Happy Birthday


These papers and the belt are all from the Shabby Vintage collection by Craftwork Cards.  In real life the card was straight but the I think I scanned it at a slight angle - oops!
