Christmas cards

Totally forgot to upload these cards for Christmas,, enjoy.

Mermaid card

I made this Mermaid card for my granddaughter Shane, she turns 5,,its the 1st time i coloured with RED copics and it was very intimidating but at the end i'm quite happy with the outcome. it all glittered up on her tail and i've added bath salts as sand to the rock. took me about 6hours to finish this card.Embellishments - rolled rose from Die-namics

Machine embroidered

Hi ladies, received this beautiful cream and gold card with machine embroidered layer from one of my friends. we get together once a month to be creative and sometimes i teach them something too.thank you for this lovely card Leesyl, appreciate the thoughts.

Notebooks

Here's a pic of my notebooks,handy to keep at your telephone.

Bow making

Hi ladies, this easy bow was shown to me by Desire, she found it on the Heroart website. you'll never forget how to make this easy peasy bow.
Take a piece of polysterene, stick 4 dressmaker pins in for your bow.  Lay down a thin piece of thread,string or ribbon, now wrap your ribbon for the bow around the pins, you can pin down the 2 points if you want to, take the think piece of thread and tie a knot,,adjust your bow and take it off the pins, wha-la a beautiful bow and the nice thing about it,, you can make it either one colour or different colours, If you want a double bow, just go around twice,,, see my examples. Have fun.

Flowers

Went for a 3D flower class with Margo yesterday and made this almanac, 4hour class but its worth it, learned sooo much about flower making, mine is no where near perfect but I love my almanac. Now i need more punches to make these again,,,

Cardmaking camp 2011

Hi ladies, we had a fabulous time this weekend, we started off friday afternoon receiving our goodie bag filled with lovely paper/cardstock/buttons, magazine,unmounted stamps and lots more,,,friday night we each received the same unmount triangle flourish stamp and had to make a card or 2 with it, it was a challenging task but the ladies created wonderful cards with it.here are a few pics of those cards. I made this light green layered triangle card and the green christmas tree, my tree is a bit 'fat', but time was limited and i tried my best with the idea in my head.hehee the other cards are from other cardmakers. This triangle was created by Chantelle Finaughty and made by Rubber Stamp & Engraving.

On saturday morning we started with our classes,, i taught them this treat card box by Melanie Schulenberg and they thoroughly enjoyed it.here are a few of my examples.

Copic box

hi ladies, spend most of my day making this box for my copics,, i'm quite happy with the outcome, now i've got to decide if i want to attach a 'handle' to carry it or not, this box has a lid that closes so nothing will fall out when its close. I must say this isnt my 'forte' to make things like this but at least all my copics are together now, yah!! now i can play and not always wonder which colours go together, even space for my Momento stamppad too.lol
