This is a card for my friend Linda, it's for her daughter Samantha who loves Calla lillies, when normally asked to do a flower card I buy the flowers, but this time I have used a Digi stamp from digital doodles and I love how it turned out.

The 3rd DP is just plain cream which I have run through my big shot and embossed, then added small pink pearls to the centres of the flowers. I have cut the image with a nellie snellen frame and then used a TLC daughter sentiment and die cut this with the same frame, punch a small hole and connected them together with a pink flower brad, then stuck the bottom section to the cream DP, and the top section moves to the side to reveal the sentiment.

Shopping Mad

Mo Manning Video Boy

I had to do this card fast, Linda a work colleague phoned me on a late shift at work wanting a card for her Grandson for the next day if possible and she said he was into gaming, so the first thought that popped into my head was Video Boy by Mo Manning, I have coloured him with pro markers, and used a silver pro marker for the handset and a sakura black glaze pen for the wire, which looks good. I 3d'd the pop can. I have cut him out with a nellie snellen frame and used wheat chalk in for around the edge, which i am getting better at. The DP is from forever friends, i have added some star buttons and i cut the large button with my bigshot and added a love charm to that. The top sentiment is computer generated, the other two are from a free set i got from scrap booking mad.

Mini cooper

My friend June asked me to do a card for her daughter's Fiance who is forty, i started to panic because i usually use stamps for my cards and i don't have many cars, so i had to purchase some toppers from Kanban. I have to say they are pretty plain, so i had to jazz them up a bit. So i used my sakura clear star on the metal work, and a sukura clear glaze pen on the lights of the car, and i wrote his name on the number plate. The 40 backing paper is from a set by printable heaven, I then added the computer generated messages, and die cut some love heart buttons in the matching check and added some love charms. And finally a mini cooper badge. This card gave me a headache to start with, because i don't like using toppers they are usually a last resort for me, but i think it turned out ok, and June loved it which is all that counts.

Wild Rose Studio ~ Cappucino girl

Another card for my stash, I decided to use a wild rose studio stamp called cappuchino girl ( i think ), i have coloured her with promarkers, cut her out with a nellie snellen frame and chalked around the edge, i added some glamour dust to her dress, earring, and flower in her hair. and glazed the coffee cup, the DP is from my stash, I used an olive organza ribbon to the side and a gorgeous polka dot flower and attached a vibrant green flower button. The green sentiments are from my stash, and the coffee sentiment is from TLC creations.

Teenager Card

I don't know about you guys but I love Mo manning's images, she is so talented. This digi is called 'Paul Texting'. I have coloured him with Papermania watercolor markers and chalked around the edge. I have used a sakura clear star pen to give his mobile and Mp3 some glitz. The DP is from my stash that i am trying to use up!!!! The sentiments are also from my stash, and i have used some star buttons tied with raffia to go with the backing paper.

Pure innocence

I just love these lovely pure innocence images and at the moment some of them are just 50p. I have coloured her with my pro markers and chalked around the edges, ( I get on better with chalk I am just learning with chalk ink and I am not good enough yet ). I have cut round the image with craft scissors and mounted her on to some gorgeous pearlised lilac card which i got from Ebay at a bargain price if £2.00 for 100 a5 sheets. The DP is from the daisy & dandelion range. I have added some lilac ribbon to the side and attached some pearls, i have added a love charm to the bottom. The sentiments are from my stash. I am trying to get in front with a few cards as i always seem to be in a rush to make them, so I thought if i make a few for my card box it will take the pressure off me a bit, and i have started my Christmas cards too!!!!!, you can never start them too early because I know my friends will be wanting me to do there's soon, so this year I am going to be organised.....
