Celebrate

Hello.

This owl and sentiment both came from a free stamp set which came with Creative Stamping magazine. There is such a great variety of stamps in this set. More of them will be appearing on my blog in the near future.

Nurse Margaret

Hello.

This card uses one of the nurse Margaret sets from Bugaboo. I have had this image coloured for a while, and now finally got around to putting her on a card. I kept it fairly simple, because the sentiment to go with her was too big for the front of the card.

Here is the sentiment on the inside of the card.

Rosie

Hello.

Last week I didn't manage to keep up with posting something to my blog at least once a week as I wasn't able to get to my cardmaking stuff. I am currently spending a couple of nights staying over at my Grandma's house though where my crafting supplies are so I'm getting a few things made ready to post to make up for it. I have been working on a few non-card projects too, but I'm waiting until they are finished to post them.

This card uses an image called Rosie from Mami Doodles. I recently bought a bargain bag which contained a selection of products from Dovecraft's Sugar & Spice range. The paper on this come from that collection.

Button frame

Hello.

For James' birthday present I wanted to decorate a photo frame for him. I bought three so that I could do another couple of ideas too. This post is one of those other ideas.

Here is what the original frame looked like.

I took everything out of the frame and painted it brown.

Then I covered it in buttons from the Elzybells Colour Co-ordinates button collection in Chocolate Brownie. I wish I had bought more of these button collections when Elzybells was still open, they have a great variety in them.

It's not often I start off with a project idea and it turns out exactly as I had imagined, but this one did.

Speaking of James though, he is now out of hospital. He came out on Wednesday, with a lovely bright green cast on. Thank you for everyone that left comments wishing him well. I passed them on to him and we both really appreciated them.

Corsets

Hello.

This card uses three corsets from My Grafico, and a sentiment from a magazine freebie set. I used a purple gel pen to frame the image.
