My Garage, My Rules....

I made this card for my husband's friend, he owns his own garage so the little sign seemed very apt !  I used mostly Kanban products, and the sign was from a Studio Light sheet of various retro signs and posters.

Thank you Flower Pots

I made a couple of "Thank You" cards at the weekend, using the lovely Craftwork Cards Potting Shed collection.  I decorated the backs as well using a selection of flowers, and as you can see I used Prima flowers too as I didn't want to use up all of the Craftwork Cards flowers.  I also used some of the Tattered Lace dies to add a bit of greenery.

Dreaming of Paris

I made this card to enter into a challenge where the theme was "In Your Dreams".  We have been to Paris three times and I would love to visit again sometime.  I used Creata backing paper, Tres Chic topper, Creata mirror card, hessian, gems and a Visible Image stamp which I then cut into sections.

A dull September day

Well, after going to a coffee morning earlier today to welcome two new neighbours, which was very enjoyable,  I have been getting all my pictures up to date.  It's a very dull, overcast, damp day so an ideal time to sort things out :o)  Here are three cards I made recently using stamps from Little Claire.  I coloured one of them, but decided to leave the other two as just inked images for a change.
