Thank You

This reminds me of naughts and crosses, especially since I placed the dots were placed in a diagonal row. It is a fun Thank You card, made with snippets of ribbon and home made enamel dots.

This card was made at my son's request to give to his fiancee with a surprise gift. He is a thoughtful considerate young man of whom I am very proud. I used snippets of card cut with a Spellbinder Die and layered them up.

Christmas Wreath

This card was inspired by the card on Case-ing Christmas and the colours on 52CCT. It's really simple and the non traditional colours make it unusual.

It's a glorious morning again, but no long walk before 8am today, yesterday I left the house at 7.15 and wasn't home until almost 9, the poor dog was exhausted and spent the rest of the morning in his basket. It was a great start to the day I enjoy my morning walk but yesterdays was really enjoyable, it was cold and crisp but the sun was already shining there was nobody about , I just kept going until I started to feel a bit guilty as hubby and son had still been asleep when I left. Needn't have worried they were both still asleep when I got home.

Well this one didn't take as long to make as my last card, I still dithered for ages with the choice for my papers and embellishments, and this time I coloured my image with Promarkers.

Ribbon and Lace

This is a departure from my normal style I can't say that I found it easy and must have taken 4 times as long as usual to complete it, after selecting and preparing all the elements.

Spring Time

Another Easter card in Spring colours, I love the lemon/yellow with the lilac, I added some golden tones this time. These rick St. Dennis digis are so cheery and lovely to colour.
These Easter cards will go to my nieces who share a house and work in Germany.

Magical Easter Wishes

Sentiment from TLC


We had a cold frosty start to the day with snow lying on the higher hills, but what a glorious day now, the sun is shining brightly though it is still cold, can't wait for the temperature to start to increase, the ground is still too hard to get into the garden, still the solar panels are making loads of units.

Red and Green

The sketch for this card came from Case-ing Christmas and I used markers for the 52CCT Challenge,we have beautiful sunshine here in the north-east, but it remains bitterly cold, luckily this little corner of Aberdeenshire has missed all the snow.
