Good morning Bloggers, I hope all is well in your world and you are all warm and safe...hugs.

I am a bit excited because I had my first little drive for weeks yesterday, just a short journey  to the post office, about 1.5 miles round trip, and there doesn't seem to be any damage done to my shoulder so today I will try just a little bit further. I am taking it just one step at a time as I don't want to end up back to square one! 

Back to an anniversary card with my own photograph for the moment, I am still making up cards from the stuff I found so watch this space :o)

I took this photograph at Darley Abbey Mills last summer. The geese were perched on a log stuck at the top of the weir. As usual, the photograph was feathered in PSP and then printed onto Papermania textured card from the Capsule collection, the sentiment added using Viner Hand font, then cut out with Go Kreate dies and attached to the white lined base card which was folded and cut to 7x5. Foliage was cut with a Sizzix die that hadn't seen the light of day for a long while!  :o)

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world and you haven't got the snow back. Keep warm and safe...hugs

Well, I have done my first shift at work for this year and it felt so good to go back. Yes, I really mean that LOL. January seemed like 6 months long and my first shift went by in a flash and I don't seem to have any ill effects so life is back to being good :o)

Anyhow, onto my card for today and the owl is back. I think it's a bit fussy but I will get over it LOL. I actually made this at the same time as the other one so that's my paper piecing done with for now :o)

all card used it Papermania textured card from the capsule collection.

I cut the white basecard to 5.5" with Go Kreate die on the Grand Calibur.

Owl stamped onto MME papers and hand cut then pieced together on Nestie cut backing.

SU sentiment stamp and punches.

Foliage cut with Cheery Lynn dies.

Flower punche with Woodware and Glossy Accents added to eyes :o)

Good morning Bloggers, what a shock I got when I signed in and got the new blogger. It will take a bit of getting used to but hey ho, here we go!

On to my card for today which is 8x8.

I haven't made it for anyone in particular, so it will go into my box for now.

I sprayed a paper doily with bronze Cosmic shimmer mist and it went so limp that I had to leave it a while to dry!

This is the only size card that I buy ready folded because I don't want to waste A3 size card cutting one myself. The camellia is a photograph I took way back in 2007 at Wollaton park in the camellia house, cut with Go Kreate die and of course, I had to use the gorgeous Memory Box corner dieto finish off. Once again, a very simple card :o)

Good morning Bloggers,  we have frost here but wall to wall sunshine and blue skies so it will soon be melted. I hope all is well with you. The washing is in the washer, the beef is in the oven, I am going to prepare the veg etc then I'm heading for the craftroom :o)

Onto my card, which I made a couple of weeks ago. I took the photograph at Stratford on Avon way back in the summer of 2008 while I was there with my granddaughter. My daughter was there for a summer lecture during her degree course so we tagged on and enjoyed the day taking in the sights, and lots of food :o)

 I cut the card and photograph out with Go Kreate and the GC .  Foliage is a Marianne die and the sentiment is SU stamp and punches :o)

Good morning Bloggers, I hope all is well with you :o)

I was supposed to go back to work yesterday after a week's holiday, but instead I was home because I daren't move more than a few yards from the loo :o( On the bright side, my craftroom is next door to the loo so all was not lost LOL.

I cut the bib cards out using Go Kreate and Nesties. They are approx 5". stuck ribbon scraps on and inked the edges.  Marianne diecuts to finish off :o)

Good morning Bloggers, at last a sunny morning with wall to wall blue sky here in deepest Derbyshire! I hope all is well with you.

A friend made a car using a baby bib card blank, so I thought"I could do that myself" Hence the title :o)

I cut the basecards on the GC using a Go Kreate die, then cut out the neck bit with a small round Nestie. Not sure if I prefer it with or without the ribbon!

All the embellies were cut on the Cricut from Bazzill Bling,  using Balloon font and SCAL shapes :o)

Good morning everyone, I hope that you have escaped those gales and lashing rain although I fear that not many have, and the forecast is not good for the rest of the week! At least it's a good reason to lock ourselves in craft areas.

This is my first card for 2012 and is for a friend who I know doesn't come on the blogs.

For once, I haven't cut and folded my own card, this is from an 8x8 Papermania pack of Kraft cards. The corrugated and plain card card is from PDA.  Tools used are; Marianne dies, Go Kreate scalloped circle dies, SU stamp and punches, Martha Stewart flutterby punch. All punched and diecuts are pearlised card from stash. Paper inside card is from J&P Pictures. 

I hope you like because I am delighted with it :o)
