Karate Cam....

......well, not really Cam but a card for Cam's friend, although
Cam does do karate so it could be Cam.....oh, and the shading
 under the fringe looks so much better IRL, can't understand
why it looks so un-blended.........OK, I'll stop waffling now!
Another card made using stash and a printed out definition
of karate and that's it......and the recipient is now a brown belt
with one white stripe!!!
Off to do some blog hopping now, thanks for calling!

A card for Cameron....

.......another Birthday......another cake.......I really will have tostart 

that diet next week.......after yet another Birthday!!!!

Today it's my Son, Camerons, 19th Birthday....where have the 

years gone?? He's a very quiet, calm person who loves a good 

book and a nice cup of tea and dreams of owning his own, dusty

 secondhand book store.....only thing is, I don't think he'd want to

 sell any  books!! So for my card for him, I tried to make it look

 old & dusty!!It's his fav stamp of mine and I've stitched and 

torn and inked and tea bagged....you name it, I've had a go on this 

card....hope he likes it!

Sweet Dee Dee loves........

.........lollipops! There was a lollipop attached to this card but when

I came to photograph it I couldn't get it to stand up properly so

took it off.... but you get the idea don't you? I'm ashamed to
say it's another un-inked stamp today......it feels like Christmas
finding all this unused stash, think I could become slightly
 addicted to the Greetings Farm & Gorjuss girls lol!

Feeling kinda blue......

......I think it must be the weather, don't you - we had a lovely
weekend then frost yesterday and the boys are still poorly
too.....oh well, thank goodness for craft lol!

So I'm still ploughing through my stash (roll on April 1st) and

am ashamed to say this Gorjuss stamp has been stashed

away un-inked for ages.....and there's a few more so watch

this space!
