JUST FOR YOU.

Now this card took me a little longer to make but i have used my new Spellbinder dies "Elegant Labels 4" with a pretty floral paper and a cute little bunch of flowers. I've used mostly white centura pearl papers and for the background I have used a centura pearl paper with a gold hint to it and matted that onto a yellow card. Then topped it off with a label stamped with Just For You.  Now this card is for a very special friend of mine so I spent alot longer making it just right.  I have to admit to hunting the internet for ideas on how to use my new dies but I think the card has turned out just how it wanted it to. Fresh and Elegant. I also have to admit that these dies are just wonderful. They are my best purchase yet. And now with thanks to the internet I have so many ideas that I want to create and show off.  My only trouble is that at the moment I am in the middle of a craft move from downstairs to my spare room, so at the moment i haven't the space i want to spread out and just enjoy all my new products. When I'm finally in the spare room I shall be as happy as a pig in muck.

I'M BACK WITH A HANDMADE CARD SUITABLE FOR A MAN.

It's been a while since i have actually sat down and made some cards.  Sometimes I just take a break especially when I've no birthdays around. This usually means though that i start buying in more products and I have bought so much recently. I sometimes look at the amount of craft items i have and get scared as to how much money i have spent over the years. I don't sell my cards so it really is just a hobby. Anyway I'm back with a Card I have made using images and background papers from a cd-rom. Honestly it took me all of a quiet few hours to do and I think it looks great.
