Us crafters waste nothing!!!!

First of all I would like to thank my crafty friend Eileen. At a recent crop she was doing her usual brayering and stamping and decided that this pic was not good enough to use for what she wanted (she didnt like the spider!). The pic was going to be heading for the bin but I was cheeky and asked if I could have it to use. The credit goes entirely to Eileen for a wonderful pic, I just layered it onto some orange and black card and finished with a ribbon. I will be giving this to my neighbour as a birthday card as its her birthday the day before Halloween.

Please take a look at Eileen's blog http://eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.com as she does some lovely pieces of work.

This next card is one of 2 I managed to make at our crop today (inbetween chatting and laughing!!!). The image is a digi stamp from Kenny K. I coloured it with Promarkers and then cut out. I then mounted it on 2 oval nestabities. I added some gorgeous flowers which I bought from Wild Orchid Crafts (http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com), ribbon coloured with Promarkers and gems from my stash. I added some Stickles around the edge of the oblong blue layer and some dots on the scalloped parts of the ovals.

Thank you for coming and looking today. Please leave any comments you wish to make.

Hello......

again. It's been a few days but I'm here. Hello Eileen (http://eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.com) I hope you are looking!!! Well I've had a very enjoyable day today with all the crafty girls at one of our regular crops. Today it was run by Stephanie. Plenty of ideas and wonderful cards being made and we were all talking about our visit to Alley Palley last week and the goodies we managed to buy. Photos will follow of my cards I've made today once daylight appears tomorrow so I can take the pics!!
Hope you all like my signing off signature here, I also have a new watermark for putting on my photos which I need to experiment with. Also, as you may notice, I'm experimenting with putting links on here, not sure if its quite right so any advice would be gratefully received please.
Bye for now, thanks for taking the time to visit.
Happy crafting

This one is my favourite. I only bought the one picture and made the pyramage myself in Paint Shop Pro 8. Took a while to do but finally worked it all out and now I am well away!! Also making my own backing papers for some cards and will post them on here very soon.

Thanks for looking, happy crafting to you all x

Good evening if you are reading this. Not a good day for cardmaking today as all I managed to do was print off 2 inserts for cards already made!! Spent the day trying to get some more Christmas shopping with my daughter who had a development day. Quite successful in the end! Looking forward to tomorrow as we are spending the day at Sophie's school at a crop run by one of our local craft shops (Scrapbook Sisters). Lots of cards will be made, tea drunk and cake eaten! xx
