Flowergarden...

I can't believe it's already Thursday again, and what's even more frightening...I keep seeing tweets on my timeline on Twitter mentioning that there's only 89 sleeps 'til Christmas!! How did that happen??? Eek...

Anyway, today is a quick share and as promised, it's the second card in the set that appeared in the June issue of Making Cards Magazine.

The gorgeous papers that I used to make the card are from a Tilda paper pad called Flowergarden and these photos, show all the intricate cut work that went into making this card set. I will be honest, you have to have patience and these aren't quick and easy cards but the overall effect is really worth all the effort!!

The chipboard heart is from Basically Bare and the message is from a stamp set by Paula Pascual.

So, I really hope this inspires you to have a go at making your own little creation based on my designs and I'd love to see any cards that you make!!

Thank you for taking the time to visit me and as always, I love reading all the comments you leave!!

Bye for now and see you soon!

Have A Beautiful Day...

Hi everyone!!

Well, I think you can safely say Autumn is here, and in some parts of the country...with a vengeance. If you are affected by the dreadful weather, at the moment ~ stay safe, warm and please take care. Here in London, it's cold and on Sunday, I actually had to turn the central heating on before I turned into an icicle. Usually, we try and hold out until October but for one day only, it just had to be done.

Thank you for all your lovely comments that you left on my last post. I know I keep saying it but I really do apologise for being such a bad blogging buddy just lately!! I'm hoping that I can see a chink of light at the end of the long tunnel that I'm in at the moment, but I don't want to tempt fate...so, shh, I don't want to jinx it!!! lol!

At the moment, everything I'm working on can't be shown yet but in true Blue Peter style...here's one I made earlier.

Some of you will probably remember this card from a set that I made for the magazine, way back in April for the June issue of Making Cards. I'll show you the other one I made to complete the set, in my next post but I thought you might like to see some of the detail up close and as always, I hope you like it...

Okey dokey, time for me clear up the bombsite that used to called a dining room, until I turned it into my "craft room"!!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and I really do love reading all your comments!!

See you soon and bye for now!

Diamonds and Pearls

First, I need to say a big hello to all my new followers...welcome aboard and it always means so much to see new faces and I can't wait to get to know you all!! Don't be afraid to say hello... :)

It's the start of a new week and I'm loaded with good intentions and there are plenty of creations to be made. Over the weekend, I managed to get all my magazine commissions done and now, the work begins on the next set of Clarity samples. I can't believe how quickly each month goes between these shows...I only seem to finish one set, when the next set arrives on my doorstep and my thought process has to kick itself into action!!!

In the meantime, I'm sure no-one has failed to notice that the Jubilee is going to be upon us very soon and today, I'm going to share this card with you all...I hope you like it!!

If you want to know more about this collection of papers and the gorgeous products that I used to make this card, then sorry for being such a tease but you're going to need to buy the current issue of Making Cards Magazine...where there are two further card projects in this series.

Right, time for me to get back to the drawing board...there is artwork that needs to be finished!!

I'll be round to visit all your blogs later tonight, when I finally sit down and relax!!!

 Bye for now!
