By request

I often ask the host of a workshop what sort of cards she would like to do. At the moment I am getting requests for Cupcakes (lol, of course) and Mother's Day. But I also have had a lady ask recently for masculine cards. For some reason I have difficulty doing masculine cards. Why? Well, I love flower and pretty things, what girl doesn't? So, here is one that I have crafted. I actually like this cards, as I think it has many different applications. Depending on the colour of the papers used, it could be feminine too. It would also make a great invitation.



During this week, I would like to make some more like this, perhaps with the little flap lifting up. The patterned paper is from the Designer Series Paper Stack in Pastels, that I use so much of, I love that paper, so easy to use. The gorgeous punch is from the new Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue, you'll be seeing lots of that one, because I think it is gorgeous! I also used the 'A sense of time' stamp set with the Versamark ink pad to create the gorgeous masculine looking bottom section.

The next cards is one that I have made for Mother's Day. Now this has caused me so much grief. I had in my mind how I wanted it to look, and I made one, cut all the papers up for my next 2 workshops (20 sets cut up) and then decided I didn't really like what I had done. I am still not entirely convinced, and I would love some feedback, please? Perhaps it is the colour combination I have used, not sure. I am hoping that it will grow on me! Essentially I like the design of the cards, so maybe it is just the colours. I think I will make it again tomorrow using different colours and see.



This is made using the 'Always' stamp set, that I got in my original starter kit, but have rarely used. I gorgeous set, that I am going to make use of shortly on a scrapbooking layout. I know, I keep saying that!! You will all keel over with shock when I finally do some scrapbooking again.

I have a busy day planned tomorrow. Jack has two friends coming over the spend the day. In order to make Amy feel a little bit less left out, I am hoping to do lots of crafting with her. Of course, that will all depend on how demanding little Miss Sophie is. She is so frustrated at the moment. The only form of communication that she is using a squealling and screaming at us. She is dying to walk and to talk, but just can't get it all together. Hoping and praying that in the next week all the little neurons in her brain co-operate and she figures it all out....either that or I am going to go a bit nuts! LOL

Stay tuned for postings of lots of makings! LOL, does that make sense?
