Valentine

I made this card for a secret valentine swap.



As it is a stamped image I am entering it in Wednesday Stamper.

Final New Home Card

This is the final new home card of 3 I made recently.

This one needs a little explanation as it's for someone who is moving to a new home where they are keeping chickens ;-) Hence the agricultural theme, and I managed to incorporate some fun wood slices I got recently to continue the 'natural' theme - I borrowed the lovely lady stamp from Lainey and love how it turned out!

Another New Home Card

This is the 2nd of 3 new home cards on my to do list.

The image, text and backgrounds are stamped, but my favourite bit is the key - it was a rather nasty shiny silver embellishment which I aged, distressed and crackled beyond all recognition - to a much more pleasing end ;-)

Love Wall Hanging

Seems like we are getting very close to February 14, so LOVE seems to be on everyones mind! I made this wall hanging for a challenge set by Carrie on CraftSupplies.

The criteria were:
For this lovely challenge I would like you to make a hanging - any size - for a loved one. It can be something that could hang on your desk, wall or from your computer with ribbon, wire/cord or beads etc.

1. The hanging must include a heart - but not made of paper.
2. It must also include a rubber stamped image/design or text.


The piece includes a number of metal hearts and stamped text "Wish Upon a Star" - the small text is WB Yeats poem, Had I the Heavens Embroider'd Cloths.

New Home Card

This is a card I made for a friend of mine who has just moved house.

While cropping with Carrie she suggested we both make a card using this house shape. As she used mount board for the base there is a very solid feel to the card which I really like.

















Thanks for the inspiration Carrie ;-)

You can see Carries take on these over on her blog

Greystones B&W


This morning we had a shoot in Greystones. The objective was to capture some B&W images while experimenting with ISO and shutter speeds. The conditions were pretty poor and it was quite a struggle to get any shots without getting the camera and lens wet! All of the photos below were taken with ISO 400.
