Bulldozer, Electrician & Bookworm

Hi all
I've had a couple of productive days so far using my new decoupage disc from La Pasche and will be having a day in today in the warm doing more crafting. I should have been going to our monthly crop today with the other crafty ladies at Allhallows Village Hall but due to not knowing what the weather is doing it has been cancelled :( .
The first 3 cards I've made include a Builder/digger driver

 an Electrician

 and one suitable for a Bookworm!!

These cards come on a page with the backing papers and the greeting so its just a case of cutting it all out, finding a matching background card and making up the decouage. As usual I've finished off with stickles around the edges to give it a bit of bling.

I hope you like these. I will be posting more in the next few days including some I've made from the Making Cards magazine. I've made a New Year's Resolution to use up free papers from the magazines as its not always what I like that sells, sometimes you just need to make something different to catch the eye of people.

Anyway, bye for now everyone.

Happy crafting

Crafty Day Today

Hi all
Hope you are well. I'm still feeling rather down at the mo so today I'm going to sit and have a crafty day. I have lots of things I need and want to make so I'm going to see how productive I can be!!
Just wanted to let you know about 2 fab CDs I purchased using some xmas money.....they are from Imag-e-nation and are The Big Pair 2012 CD Roms.  This includes a CD from Just Inklined with over 200 digi images. Most images are available from their site but some are solely on the CD. The other disk is from La Pashe and has lots of decoupage etc on it. Many of the pages are coloured images of the digi stamps so if you want to save a bit of time with colouring they are ideal. I have already decided on some birthday cards I will be making.  They are £15.99 each or £20 for the pair so it would be rude not to buy the pair wouldnt it!!!!
Anyway I just need to nip to the shops before getting down to some craft so please come back soon as I will post pics of what I achieve.
Happy crafting

PS. Im out for a crafty xmas meal tonight with our craft club from Demelza House Children's Hospice so I'm looking forward to that also.

Flower Cross

Just a little post today Im afraid but little is better than nothing as Im still going!!

 Today's card uses the Flower Cross digi image from La Pashe. Once coloured I mat and layered onto various card. The white card is embossed with Swiss Dots on the Cuttlebug. The ribbon was coloured with Promarkers and I used Stickles around the edges.
As I'm sitting typing this post I've realised that I was in such a hurry to post it tonight that I've forgotten to put 2 card candy in the corners!!! I will do this before giving to my friend who sadly lost her father-in-law this week.

I also decorated the inside of the card, typed the verse on the computer and then cut out using square and square scalloped nestabilities.

Im off to a crop at Allhallows tomorrow with Eileen and lots of other crafty ladies. Got lots of images lined up to colour so a busy day ahead and hopefully some results to show you.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon
